Upcoming: Love Diary with a Humanoid Weapon [Western Fantasy], Western Fantasy + magic + steampunk
In the Starfall Era, Year One, the Titan Empire accomplished the great feat of unifying the continent.
To reassure the people and celebrate the coming of peace, Satan, the strongest weapon of war, was sentenced to disassembly. His parts were cast into the depths of the Black Sea.
One day, Dollie, a magic puppet-maker who was also a homebody girl and always at the bottom of her class, found a pitch-black metal skeleton in a scrapyard.
It was in excellent condition, with a tall, slender, well-proportioned frame and unknown material properties.
Dollie happily used the skeleton she had scavenged to make a flawless, handsome male puppet. She named him Louis and hugged him to sleep every night.
One morning, Dollie woke from a dream and, still bleary-eyed, met the puppet's dark gaze.
She blinked, and he copied her.
?!
Dollie jolted fully awake.
What had happened?
She didn't remember her magic being anywhere near this powerful!
In the Starfall Era, Year 400, countless mutated monsters crawled out from the depths of the Black Sea, dormant for more than ten thousand years.
Magic cannons were useless against them, and countless airships crashed into pieces. Only ancient magic, forgotten in ages past, could fight them.
People said it was the revenge of Satan, who had been destroyed.
Dollie, cuddling up with her puppet: ?
*
"I am a weapon of slaughter."
"No, you're an angel!"
"Then... can I belong only to you?"
"(Embarrassed + furious + very loud) Why wouldn't you?"
*
She gave him a body, awakening him from the endless black tide.
He gave her warmth, taking her hand and leading her into the blazing, brilliant sunlight.
They were destined to be born for each other.
One-line summary: A girl falls in love with an overwhelmingly powerful, beautiful yet tragic man in a post-magic steampunk age, and together they save the world.
One-on-one romance, happy ending.
