Phoenix was a chronically ill teen with nothing but inevitable death in her future. That hasn’t changed much; but her failing body has after getting transported across realities. Now she’s stumbling her way through a new world, gaining magical abilities, meeting gods, making friends, fighting monsters, determined to make something of herself and finally feel useful to others for a change... hopefully without dying too much.

All images are created by me with assistance from Midjourney or commissioned.

Regarding Romance
While romance is not the main overarching plot, some romantic subplots will be shown and explored. These include a variety of potential pairings (All along the gender spectrum), different relationship statuses (Monogamous, polyamorous, or even anarchist), and spanning variable lengths of time (From forever-lasting to brief fancies to never getting started). There will not be explicit “spicy” scenes. Also, not every type of loving relationship explored will be the romantic type as this story focuses more on chosen family.

Content Warning
While I try to avoid any overly graphic depictions of gore or sensitive content, I do include or touch on the following topics that some readers may wish to avoid:
Violence and death (of people, animals, and many monsters), kidnapping and confinement, experimentation and torture, threats and discussions of previous sexual assault, dealing with PTSD and grief, light alcohol use, non-consensual kissing, and lots of anxiety mixed with teenage hormones.
