Romantasy

Amazon release soon! DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/ApNZDux8kj Life is hard when your magic aptitude is trash. >Life is harder when you're murdered by strange intruders who call themselves "players". >>And life is hardest when you somehow reincarnate... straight into an existential crisis. [Activating Empress' Necklace of Fate. All requirements for Successor of an Incomplete Fate have been met.] [You have broken free of the restraints of the Non-Player Character, A Blue-Haired Magic Researcher.] [System Initialization: Player Synchronization.] [Synchronization Complete.] [Character customization complete.] [Class selected.] [Player Name: Aria Lucaris.] [Welcome to Aeon Odyssey, Player. You will be transported to the tutorial.] [In this life, you must fulfill your fate. A quest has been added to your quest log.] Aria wakes up to realize she's become a "player" in this strange reality. Fine. Challenge accepted. Then she runs into her murderer - conveniently the number one ranker, Gryphon Vale. And... the man's more unhinged than she ever suspected. As she focuses on her desire to grow stronger and seek vengeance on the players who killed her, a bizarre System Administrator seems determined to change the genre. Forget "Fantasy", let's go with "Romantasy"! (Does Aria have a choice? Doubt.) System windows? Check. Unhealthy focus on an unachievable revenge? Check. Flirtatious murderers? Check. A fangirl System Admin? Check. A game that's WAY too broken? Double check. Triple check? Let's just quadruple check that. ------- It's a romance. Also a fantasy. I give up trying to figure out where this book fits on this site. Just don't take this too seriously. >>NOTE: Female lead. Written by a romance author. Just take it for what it is, okay? Okay.

I put some distance between us and looked up at him, putting all the hope I had left for his soul into my next sentence. “Set humanity free.” I begged him. “No,” He stopped smiling, looking at me seriously. “Humanity can only dream up the horrible, malicious, destructive acts they commit because they're allowed too much freedom.” He twirled me away and back to him. “They needed something to believe in. They needed consequence. I only filled a vacuum that needed to be filled so they could function properly. So they could stop suffering.” I don’t know whether it was the music, the atmosphere, or his eyes like pools of molten gold... Benevolent Convolent is a dark romantasy between where the villain the hero is sworn to destroy is also her love interest.
