Once, Aethel was a goddess of serene beauty, but her consort's neglect twisted her into a being consumed by a hunger for dominance. Banished to the Void for her cruel acts, she simmers for millennia, plotting her return not for revenge, but for absolute worship. Her chosen vessel? Jonathan, a desperate, overlooked outcast drowning in debt and despair. When faced with death, he screams for help, triggering a mysterious System and unlocking a cold power. Aethel watches, smiling, as her hidden thread of divine corruption weaves itself into his life - a leash disguised as freedom. The gods thought they erased her, but they only forged her throne in the dark, and Aethel is coming back.
