Clear as Crystal

A LitRPG Fantasy novel.

Yokïmi Kikuchi dwelled in what she perceived to be harmony with her family. As with most nobles, she had the opportunities of the privileged. She spent her days split between loves: exploring music and the arts, and taking the first steps on the path of the Bellatir—martial artists focused on mastering graceful movement, balance, and deadly precision. It is a noble heritage of her ancestors, and she seeks to follow in those footsteps.

Her twin brother's madness changed everything. Twisted by his hate and magic beyond his control, he unleashes a violent cataclysm that destroys the family and the castle in which they lived. By chaotic chance, Yokïmi survived, but found herself forever changed.

Robbed of everything, she flees from the site of that disaster. Bearing the ill news to a friend of their family, the transformed woman grieves for what she has lost. But though she survived, terrible Curses have latched onto her. Their effects threaten to ruin her life forever, leaving her no choice but to contemplate Quests to see them removed.

Her family's wealth and power lie in tatters. All of her personal possessions are gone, and the Curses upon her limit her options severely, leaving her unable to enjoy the simple pleasure of walking freely among the people of her homeland. All Yokïmi has left are the gifts that have served her well during her life: her determination, ingenuity, and the body she has only begun sculpting into the weapon and magical conduit she'll need to meet these challenges.

The only problem is the challenges she didn't anticipate...and the love and friendships she would risk losing along the way.
