[Cool-headed, clear-eyed heroine × unhinged war god hero | Mutual healing | Sci-fi apocalypse]
I was treated as a “living sacrifice” and married off to the monster in town who was on the verge of going mad.
He was the guardian deity of Bone City, and also the “Bone Wraith” who would slaughter the city if he lost control.
The whole city was betting on how long someone as emotionally numb as me, a mere tool, could keep him sane.
At first, he gripped my throat and rasped, “Don't touch me. I'll tear you apart.”
Later, kneeling on one knee amid a mountain of corpses, he gently caressed my face with cold mechanical fingers. “Lin, don't leave me... I'll destroy everything.”
When the supreme council of elders shed its false mask, and the city's foundation, the “Divine Remains,” opened its eyes to bring about the world's destruction,
everyone thought we were nothing but a pawn and a monster.
Until the day I wielded divine authority in a mortal body.
And he tore open the false heavens above us for my sake.
We are the apocalypse, and we are the dawn.
