"It begins beyond sight, and ends beyond reach."
She was neither in the light nor lost to the darkness.
She could be called neither a hero nor an enemy.
She is an Innovator.
A changer who drives the world forward through her own power.
From The Old World: Revolution
*
Some praise the great deeds of the "gods," while others condemn the nature of the "witch." But this capricious "Innovator" has looked down on the world from above from beginning to end, as if watching flowers bloom in the palm of her hand.
All that matters to her is how long a flower blooms.
She will give everything for a glimpse of "beauty," yet toss it aside the moment it "fades."
And still, as long as her gaze falls upon them, even for just a fleeting moment, some will long for her favor.
"My salvation, my goddess, my faith."
The "knight" who pledged loyalty to his "queen" lowered his head in reverence. Kneeling before her, he offered everything he had to the witch before him.
Though he knew she could easily trample it all beneath her feet, he could not bring himself to let go of the brief kindness he had received.
"This world is terminally ill, and you, my queen, are its cure."
[Notes for readers]
1. It's said to have no romance, but the male lead has one-sided feelings. I'm putting this first to warn readers who only want plot and don't like romance! The heroine is not a good person. Her position is morally gray, and she lacks an ordinary sense of right and wrong. In both body and mind, she is a true witch through and through (she's a witch, after all; it's not like she'd only toy with people's hearts without getting physical, right?). She's a complete egoist. If you think she's kind, that's an illusion, a special effect created by the author. I've wanted to write an evil heroine for a long time. This is basically the author indulging herself (so I don't know if readers will like it, but I'm having a great time).
2. The world is initially set in the K-world, where most people gained powers after the Monolith's emergence (major alterations to the original setting, be warned). Don't apply the characters' personalities to real life, and I don't recommend imitating or praising them (enjoying it in fiction is enough). Everyone-is-evil warning.
3. Everyone loves the heroine, she's incredibly alluring, and she wins everyone over. The heroine is not a virgin [highlighted], but subordinates are still subordinates! Whether ordinary fans or haters, they all love the heroine. No romance, no relationship drama, and original couples will be split up. Out-of-character portrayals are inevitable. If you can accept the direction of the story, then read on; if not, please don't tell me how to write. The author has always written however she pleases.
4. Suitable anime series will be added as the story goes. Updates depend on how busy the author is in real life and whether she has enough inspiration (most important). Except for a few stories written in full beforehand, the author's daily updates run on love, every-other-day updates are a surprise, weekly updates are the norm, and monthly updates are unavoidable.
P.S. The author is the kind of person who can't feel right unless the afterword is long (the afterword may contain important plot points, so don't skip it). Please bookmark and leave comments; they are one of the author's motivations for writing. The cover is a doodle by the author.

The author's upcoming story: [JX3] She Became the Best Storyteller in the Martial World. Make way! The Old Ancestor is here to tell stories in person!
The author's next story (probably): Everyone's Asking Me for Updates. I Used to Be Happy, Until I Met the Nitpickers.
Theme: No one but you can choose the life you want.
"Your love has hidden meanings, and your love is like a mirror, but your appreciation and recognition of me are far more real than any words." I can't refuse such a witch lady.
In this wave, it's not unfair to kill you.
I've always thought that Soyuki would be awesome if she played well. Tanizaki can play whatever he wants. Miss Witch doesn't care at all.

Wow wow wow, I'm sorry, I can't fucking understand anything except emotional dramas (╥╥)
I really like it. This style. I saw [Oh, the Spirit King is dead? Then it's okay] I suddenly laughed out loud at this sentence, hahaha
Specialty... That colorless fool without soul?
Laughing to death. Completely connected, aren't these the same group of high-level officials who were killed? !
Ahhh! I love this ending so much! I really like this kind of heroine. This book has been top one in my mind from now on. It's so beautifully written!
I'm dead! If I want to see the original world, I just want to see two random cats! I'm dead (Lie peacefully)
Hahahahahahaha I like the ending
Hahahaha, I'm going to laugh my head off.
