Aria of the Withered Branch
Description
"Living isn't fun anymore."
So I decided to die. But before I could leave, in the last moments of my life...
"Should we make life fun for you?"
The Vina people appeared in front of me. They asked me to live. They told me if I died, they'll die as well. Do they want to live for eternity?
"We'll make you happy. So, don't die yet."
"If you pledge to be one of us, you can have all the money you'll ever need for the rest of your life."
"Love, just talk to us. What do you need?"
"You can tell us everything you desire."
Alcheris Voygianna has had enough. Enraged, purposeless, and no longer wanting to go on after years of torment, she runs away with her stepmother's ring. But when she crushes the ring and falls asleep after failing to end her own life, she dreams of five demigods, who greet her in person a week later after she awakes! Their one request to her is this: live on so that they may live forever. In return, they promise to make her life worth living, but can they uphold that promise?
