Little Scarlet Lady [Western Fantasy]

I am dust and mud, clinging to life amid death and decay; you dwell in the depths, gazing down upon the mortal world for all eternity, never falling.

But even so...

A dark-fantasy twist on the forced-possession romance trope

About Soulslikes:

"Souls" usually refers to the dark fantasy action game series Dark Souls, developed by FromSoftware, and sometimes includes Demon's Souls. The games are known for their twisted, oppressive settings, hostile level design, and difficult combat.

Features of Souls-inspired storytelling:

1. The main plot is unclear, with no explicit objective or guidance. 2. The reader's perspective and knowledge are limited, using a small viewpoint character to glimpse a vast world. 3. Information is vague and fragmented. 4. The writing is cryptic and riddling. 5. There is a great deal of deliberate ambiguity and open space left by the creator. This is just my opinion, not an official definition.
