Keynes Beauty Contest

In the fractured kingdom of Orindale, beauty is revered, purity is a forgotten ideal, and the cursed roam the shadows. Isabella, a compassionate healer from a humble village, lives an unassuming life until a strange dream calls her to the edge of the forbidden Darkthorn Forest—a realm shrouded in myth and fear. There, she discovers the Beasts, monstrous creatures banished from humanity, whose cursed forms conceal the shattered remnants of their society. Among them is Kael, a brooding and reluctant leader with a past as tragic as it is mysterious. Bound by fate, Isabella and Kael must navigate a perilous path filled with betrayal, sacrifice, and redemption. As Isabella learns of a dark sorceress who cursed the beasts, she uncovers deeper truths about the kingdom’s corruption, the fragile line between light and darkness, and her destiny as the key to breaking the curse. But the cost of salvation maybe her own life. Guided by a cryptic priestess and aided by a cast of outcasts and rebels, Isabella’s journey takes her into the heart of a divided kingdom. As war brews and the curse threatens to consume all, she faces impossible choices: to preserve her purity of heart or to risk everything for the ones she has come to love. *Beasts, Beauty, and Purity* is a sweeping tale of love, sacrifice, and the triumph of the human spirit over despair. It explores the question: Can love and compassion heal even the most monstrous hearts? And can true beauty shine through even in the darkest of times? In this epic story of transformation and unity, Isabella and Kael’s bond will test the boundaries of forgiveness, challenge the allure of vengeance, and offer a vision of a world where light and shadow coexist in harmony.

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.
