"There will be no peace in this land until slavery is done for." Ezra and his college buddy Rozen are reborn in a new world and get a new life to do what they wish well except for the fact that they're born ,as twin gnomes, into slavery. They're forced to become artificers making the very collars and tools used to enslave others. Pushed to the brink they use all their knowledge from our world and theirs to take a new lease on life From their slavers. If they start a revolution on the way? Well, who doesn't want to kill a few slavers? Seeking to liberate the enslaved people of the world they and attempt to wash the world they're born in clean with the blood of slavers. However in order to do so they must manipulate and outsmart these slavers and whatever sinister powers that allowed them to conquer most of the world. How do you form a team and work together through hardship? How do you motivate people to fight and kill to escape bondage. Are they willing to sacrifice family and friends to be free?What to ExpectNo AI - not even for the cover (I spent 2 hours drawing it and it's still pretty bad ;-;) Dark story Without Being too Edgy - Decent amount of character death should be expected. Characters will suffer but also grow as people. SA will come up but will not be depicted in a graphic way or be explicit same with discussions of suicide.  Smart Characters - characters will need to use their brains at the social, tactical and strategic levels to make progress. To make this work this means villains won't be dumb or at least not super dumb (please hold me to this) Variety - All sorts of different magical powers and races teaming up. All sorts of relationships gay and straight not sure how in depth either will be atp but don't read if you're gonna cry about queer people.John Brown glazing - self explanatoryWarningsSA mentioned, Abuse, Self-Harm & Discussions of Suicide, Graphic Violence, SwearingRelease ScheduleChapters around 2k words honestly haven't been consistent with my schedule whatsoever
