jesterkill
Jess doesn't remember her past, only fragments sharp enough to hurt. What she does know is simple: she's good at killing, she doesn't trust easily, and there's something inside her that shouldn't exist.
When a stranger named Joffrey appears and claims they've lived entire lifetimes together-just in reverse-everything starts to crack. According to him, every time they meet, she's at the beginning while he's already at the end. He knows her. She doesn't know him. And somewhere along that broken timeline lies the moment she dies.
But death isn't the only problem.
Jess carries a power tied to Limbo, a dimension that bends space, memory, and reality itself. A power feared enough to be hunted by the Ravishers, a group that claims to "cleanse" the world by destroying anyone touched by mana. And deeper still, beyond her control, beyond her understanding, there's Her-the other presence in her mind, waiting for the right moment to take over.
As truths begin to surface, one thing becomes clear: Jess and Joffrey may not just be part of the world.
They might be the reason it exists.
Caught in a looping fate where beginnings and endings lose meaning, Jess is forced to confront a question that could break everything-
If your life was never truly yours, would you still fight to keep it?
