by Necromantic Kobold
Lilliana Hughes, the adopted daughter of a humble blacksmith on a forgotten backwater planet, dreams of nothing more than working alongside her beloved Pops in his smithy. But her simple life shatters the day she unlocks her system and discovers a rare and dangerous affinity: Lust. This unique power draws the attention of powerful factions—some desperate to recruit her, others determined to eliminate her as a threat. When an unthinkable act of violence shatters her innocence, Liliana's world spirals into chaos. Driven by vengeance, Pops sets out on a path of his own, leaving Liliana to grapple with her torment and the newfound darkness festering within her. As she struggles to reclaim her life, Liliana faces a haunting question: can she find redemption after the price she paid in a moment of madness? Or will the madness consume her entirely, dragging her into the abyss? Art done by NukaCOlaGirl291
