To Fight Against Fate

To Fight Against Fate

by PrincessLucian

ActionAdventureFantasyFemale LeadHigh Fantasy

Add far too much money, a fangirl's obsession, and a copious amount of swear words, and you get one Rica Banc. Rica has been obsessed with the novel, The Destined Ending, since she was preteen and it unwittingly shaped her life as she sought to be like the very same characters she read about. But one evening, Rica is chatting with the author of her favorite work, Acacia. Acacia asks her a cryptic question: if Rica knew her fate would be a tragic one, would she accept it? And Rica's answer is, "I’d make my own fate." When she wakes up the next morning, she finds herself transmigrated into Priscilla Thornewood, the older sister of The Destined Ending's protagonist and a villainess who would do anything to obtain power. Stripped of her name and identity with a strongly worded warning to simply accept her destiny, the newly dubbed Priscilla decides she won't idly stand by as the plot progresses. She vows that she'll change the tragic fate that awaits this world, and it doesn't matter how many dragons she has to slay, how many cultists she has to kill, or how how many times she gets knocked down – she'll always drag herself to her feet, wearing a cocky smile because Priscilla will do anything so that the world she devoted half her life to has a happy ending. What to expect: - a loooong epic length story based on current outlines - a flawed, non-OP female protagonist who has to use her brains more than brawn (though she does love to sucker punch people) - copious amounts of swear words and banter - a character focused story that could be slice-of-life if only our protagonist would stop worrying about the end of the world - chapter lengths ranging from 1.5K to 4k depending on the plot beats - and, most importantly, a happy ending (eventually)
