The author is currently making major revisions! Since only a set number of words can be posted each day, only the first 13 chapters have been revised so far! The full revision is expected to be complete at midnight on the 27th. Don't read chapter 19 onward! That's the old version!
A terminal illness tears apart the body, while clinging to life crushes the soul.
After becoming a villain, every time Lin Luo completes a System task and keeps herself alive, her soul silently shatters a little more.
But just as she resolves to die, an alchemist named Albedo catches her by the wrist and takes the blood-red teardrop crystal, both evidence of her crime and the weapon she planned to use to end her life.
In a corner of the holiest cathedral, the villain is reborn.
From then on, there is hope against her terminal illness, and her soul can be rebuilt from the ruins.
Together, they oppose the System and the Abyss Order, uncover the world's truths, and manipulate the rules of the world, composing a madcap symphony of NPCs awakening:
The System constantly plays games between the Abyss Order and Lin Luo, plotting her inevitable death.
It does not want fate's prophecy to come true, yet it leads straight to the predetermined sacrifice, one she willingly makes.
Albedo dissects Lin Luo, a fellow nonhuman being, and uses alchemy to win her a sliver of hope.
As an observer who throws himself into the game, he unexpectedly encounters the true face of Teyvat.
And Lin Luo, a transmigrator toyed with by fate, strikes back decisively and seals the System, using sensory illusions to create a "false god."
She will forge her soul, tempered in the flames, into a blade and cleave apart the so-called decrees of fate.
When NPCs step onto the chessboard, every conclusion fate has reached is overturned and played out anew, growing against entropy.
