Snow Country [Western Fantasy]

Western fantasy GL. Plot-focused, with religious themes and races including elves, beastfolk, celestials, dwarves, demons, and more.

In her previous life, Brinhild was a witch hated by everyone. As a half-breed, she struggled against prejudice to become deputy head of a monastery, only to willingly fall into depravity and become Godforsaken, then die horribly in a church purge.

Thankfully, fate gave her another chance. When she opened her eyes again, she swore to stir up trouble and plunge the continent into chaos.

But the moment she woke, she found herself caught up in one conflict after another. The ice elf she once loved but could never have actively pursues her; the church's saintess, whom she considered her mortal enemy, is her fervent fan? The continent's first female greatsword wielder is her disciple, and its greatest mage is her supporter...

She'd been prepared to take on the entire continent, but who could have guessed that everyone on the continent would kiss her instead? Seriously, what is wrong with all of you?!

When an epidemic breaks out somewhere, people notice Brinhild passing by and fly into a rage. "It must be her doing! She's a witch!"

They seek help from Xivia, the female greatsword wielder. Xivia grabs her greatsword and runs off. The people assume she's going to punish evil, but then they see her following the witch respectfully and calling her "Teacher"?

So they go to Salina, the great mage, to uphold justice. When they turn around, Salina is standing behind the witch too, eagerly feeding her an apple?

Then they appeal to Sibel, the saintess of the Church of Light. But the saintess throws away her crown and runs to the witch, and the four of them sit down to play cards!

Unable to stand it anymore, the people report them to the Pope. The Pope sends Bishop Elvira, and everyone waits for a fight to break out. But Elvira simply walks up, takes Brinhild's hand, and says, "Come home with me."

The people: ...

Brinhild, the Church of Light's resident succubus who charms its clergy!

How is that not stirring things up in its own way?

Content warning: The main character is Brinhild. Before being reborn, Elvira was her adoptive mother, so early after Brinhild's rebirth, she calls her "Mommy," and there are descriptions of intimate behavior, including kissing. Please don't read if this bothers you.

Theme: Accept the world, and let the world accept you
