Accursed Whitch

In the war-torn lands of Andromeda, power isn’t just a privilege—it’s a survival tactic. Between warring empires and monsters that can swallow a village whole, the world relies on Hunters: elite warriors forged in the fires of the Spirit Realm, wielding inhuman strength and the "Rune of Light." But the apex predators of this world aren’t beasts; they are Spirits. Born from divine residue and fueled by human emotion, they range from harmless floating puddles to the catastrophic entities known as Witches. A Witch is a walking apocalypse, capable of unmaking a kingdom in a weekend if she’s having a particularly bad Tuesday. Naturally, because humanity is nothing if not predictable, these engines of destruction are also sought after for their "otherworldly beauty." Chase is a solo adventurer who spends his days sweating in the dirt for copper coins and his nights dreaming of glory. He’s got the heart of a lion, the wallet of a beggar, and a moral compass that points directly toward "hot, powerful women who can accidentally level a mountain." While others seek the Hunter’s Mark to save the world or claim political power, Chase has a more... singular focus. He wants to tame a Witch. Is it because he wants to harness her world-shattering mana for the good of the realm? Maybe. Is it because he’s tired of being the only person at the tavern without a terrifyingly beautiful spirit-waifu who could incinerate the bartender? Absolutely. To achieve his "noble" goal, Chase must survive the Trial of the Spirit Realm —a place where the atmosphere is 90% pure mana and 10% things that want to eat your soul. It’s a journey that kills most well-funded nobles, and Chase is heading in with little more than a rusty sword and a dream. One mistake means death. One success means godhood. For Chase, the risk is worth it—because in Andromeda, you either die a monster-slayer or live long enough to find a Witch who’s way out of your league.
