    Official OST: https://youtu.be/fgbuxrkwbdw The Prophecy is Complete. The Revenge is Personal. In the shadowed streets of 2028 Shanghai, where neon lights hide ancient vendettas, Lucernian Princess Reia Shiina fights to protect a fragile peace forged from the ashes of the Great Wars. But when her obsessive adopted sister, Mai, unleashes a deadly plot, Reia must confront betrayal from her past-life brothers, Kuzan, Lu Chao, and Imperial heir Barry, threatening to unravel everything she holds dear. Living with cerebral palsy mitigated by qi energy and unbreakable love, Reia awakens her daughter Winter through ribbons of fate, bonds with fiancée Anaya via the Harmony Blades, and wields evolved spirit weapon Gekko in high-stakes battles across Tokyo, Pakistan, and the Himalayas. As Purple Qi viruses corrupt the stars and Imperial forces strike homes and hearts, Reia evolves beyond her limitations, turning personal sacrifice into planetary salvation. State of Zero is a gripping tale of dark romance, family devotion, and resilient power, where love defies empires and evolution redefines destiny. Will Reia safeguard her world, or will the cost of zero-state peace claim her soul? This story takes place 40 years after the events of Radiant Phantasy, but in an alternate universe.

And now, blood is tainting the soil... Maybe the wolves have caught the cat?... . . . This is the tale of the fearsome demon felines, the Nekomata and the Bakeneko. -----------------

    If we have an oc, wouldn't it be cool of we also write the back story? And I love writing anyway, so this back story might turn into a new novel in the future 😆 *English is not my native language, I apologize in advance if there are any grammatically errors 🙏 **Since it's an OC story, it is based on Genshin Impact in-game stories and lores, I might put in some theory and the story may change in the future! 🥰
