Betrayed and murdered in her former life, Yuzuriha Kobayashi awakens in a Victorian world of steam, monsters and cosmic horrors as a blind working-class girl. In this world, Ascendants rise by aligning with Life, Death, or Chaos, gaining power that gradually eats away at their sanity and fate. Yuzuriha wanted the strength without paying the price, but that choice vanished the moment a mysterious artifact fused with her body, drawing on the attention of horrifying entities. Blind yet able to perceive the fabric of reality unfold before her, she must survive against monsters, madness and beings who are watching her very existence. SCHEDULE: MON - WED- FRI at 6 PM (EST) WHAT TO EXPECT - A dark progression fantasy that actually respects consequences: This isn't a numbers go up and everything works out story. Every choice closes other paths, and growth comes with psychological and moral decay - A blind protagonist with a unique perception system: The MC perceives reality through 'astris', a primordial energy, allowing her to sense intent, hostility, emotions, and power pressure. - A structured lore heavy power system: There's clear cosmic alignments all defined by the advancement ladder. Ensuring a weak to strong MC (No asspulls) - A setting that actively oppresses the characters: Like any Victorian Era story, there's bound to political influence, industrial era class divides and noble houses hoarding power - Meaningful side characters: They aren't there to be cheerleaders. There's clash of ideologies, they make independent choices and suffer the consequences just like the MC - Slow burn that pays off: As much as I enjoy action, but for a vast world like this one, a bit of foundation is necessary. However, patience is rewarded - No mc romance
