God Scaramouche x Failed/Enslaved Savior Traveler
The Balladeer succeeds in becoming a god and overthrows the region of Sumeru, ruling like a Tyrant with sadistic ways of righteousness.
As the traveler fails to defeat this new and powerful god, they are enslaved and held captive as a pet and considered a trophy. The traveler continues to fight back constantly, filled with stubbornness and pride... But as the days go on, hope falls, and he falls prey to the new "God of Wisdom". As the other (Nahida), is trapped in a comma of imprisonment; with the gnosis stripped away from her. As her followers beg in hopes for her to awaken and save them.
The people of Sumaru are treated no differently than how the Raiden Shogun ruled Inazuma; suppressed and trapped. As their only hope of freedom is to find an escape or die trying. Most hide in the deserts, as it's the "safest place" from Scaramouche's rule. While others sit and wait patiently, in prayers of the once savior and their original nurturing god to save them. But as the new deity of wisdom grows stronger and accends in divinity, his harsh rain spreads. Even the deserts of Sumeru fall unsafe to his predatory eye.
Who will stop him? Is it even possible at this rate?...
Warning: This story contains mature topics!
(Sex, abuse, including sexual assault, animal cruelty, self-harm, pornographic material, religious takes, graphic violence, slurs, hate speech, blood, and death... And more.) Just beware, it's a harsh take on a toxic romance. I love writing about really horrific things and making it romantic...
Btw, obviously, none of the characters or art belong to me; feel free to drop the art credits if you know them! & The Traveler here is supposed to be gender-neutral, but the pronouns will occasionally be mixed up to fit either..
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."

Y/n wakes up in the deadly Squid Game, surrounded by strangers and fighting to survive. What she doesn't know is that the mysterious Frontman is watching her every move through the cameras- and she's caught his attention.
