DISCONTINUED. I will rewrite/rework the story some day. Diarmuid Ua Duibhne x Reader 💚 The Holy Grail malfunctioned for unknown reasons, and self-destructed. The consequences brought anarchy; Servants, without need of mana and their power intact, roamed the world freely. With time, slowly but surely, humanity accepted the Servants within their ranks. From that point on, mage craft was global and learned throughout the world. Some of the Servants became part of the authorities, would it be politically or actively (police work, part of the army, etc.), while others became terrorists, murderers or even unstoppable psychopaths. An important thing humanity had learned was the fact that when a Servant died, they did not come back. They stayed dead, and would stay that way. You, a young adult living her life slowly and peacefully, had recently moved into your new apartment in Ireland. Within barely a week living in your place, you noticed something unusual. A ghost was with you. And not any kind... a Servant ghost. Why was he there? Why was a Servant a ghost? Most importantly...

They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.Complete
