Ashes of Progress // Silco x OC

Sera Moreau was once a rising star of Piltover-a brilliant inventor with ambitions of progress and innovation. But when a failed experiment took her parents' lives and revealed Piltover's true intentions for her work, she disappeared, presumed dead. Now, hiding in the undercity under a false name, Sera balances her grief with a growing need for revenge against the city that betrayed her.

Drawn into Silco's network, Sera becomes an unlikely piece in his vision to turn the undercity into an independent nation. Her own ideals align with his ambition, but suspicion, betrayal, and the growing danger of her lies threaten to unravel everything she's built. Meanwhile, Viktor-her former colleague and friend in Piltover-uncovers her survival. Their shared past reignites old connections and unspoken feelings, forcing Sera to question where her loyalty truly lies.

As her inventions shape the undercity's future and her bonds with Silco and Viktor deepen in ways she never expected, Sera must navigate a dangerous web of ambition, trust, and betrayal. In a world fueled by power and secrets, survival isn't enough.

For fans of intrigue, tension, and a painstakingly slow-burn romance, Ashes of Progress is a tale of invention, rebellion, and the blurred lines between truth and lies.
