When escaping the house for a few hours of freedom goes horribly wrong, Misa Carpenter unwittingly captures the attention of a man she comes to despise. He wants her for the magic she never knew she had. Instead of an arrest that could lead to her execution, he proposes a bargain that would set her free from the prison she called home, a bargain she can't refuse. Having no other choice, Misa is plunged into the dangerous world of witches in search of the most powerful and dangerous of them all. The task is deceptively easy. Find the witch and eliminate her. All Misa wants to do is fulfill her end of the bargain so she could finally be free. But things aren't always so simple. Learning magic to blend in forces Misa to confront her greatest fears, and as she grows to understand the man who flipped her world upside down, she realises she might have quite literally gotten much more than what she bargained for. _______ Rated 16+ for swearing, depictions of psychological and physical abuse (by the villain), and mild sexual content

Leviathan awoke, along with thousands of others, in Leifhelm- A land shrouded in mystery and ominous ploys. With his identity erased, he begins an arduous quest towards self-discovery. The forefront of his misery, known only as 'the creator', chose his victims unbiasedly. Men, women, and children were cast into the realm and given a single goal to focus on. They are to locate him in Leifhelm and defeat him in warfare, though his reasons are unclear. Their incentive is a most lucrative prize: A wish that he will grant without stipulation or limitations. He claims that the wish will be granted to the most valiant individual. This prize becomes unobtainable for some and a catalyst of corruption for others, as each person possesses their own desires they wish to see fulfilled. Leviathan is no exception, as he uses magic and controversial methods to achieve his ends. Still, having dabbled in dark magic, he now faces the consequences, as it begins to take a toll on his body.
