A kindhearted woman, helping an elderly woman cross the street, was struck by a car. Her instinct to protect the elderly led her to push the woman out of the way, sacrificing herself. The impact left her face disfigured and unrecognizable. Her life, once filled with warmth and love, shattered into a million pieces. Her job was gone, her boyfriend abandoned her, and even her aunt's family, who had adopted her and treated her as their own, turned their backs, casting her away. Winter descended, its icy fingers wrapping around her, amplifying her suffering. She endured the biting cold, gnawing hunger, and constant criticism. Even the kindness of strangers had vanished, replaced by disdainful glances and cruel whispers. She applied for any work she could find, but her disfigured face became an insurmountable obstacle. No one wanted to accept her. The world she once knew had become a cold, unforgiving place. One day, exhausted and broken, she collapsed beneath the shade of an ancient oak tree, the snow falling silently around her. She was alone, her body numb with cold, her spirit crushed by the weight of her misfortune. She closed her eyes, the icy grip of death stealing her breath, and slipped away into the darkness, taking with her a heart that had been broken beyond repair.

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.

Life is funny, You thought you had escaped somewhere so far nobody would find you, But actually, you never escaped at all.
