Description: [edit] [history]

There are two things to know about the Wick: first, climbing it is tantamount to suicide, and second, reaching its mountainous peak guarantees an audience with the Gods. For years, Celeste has watched expeditions climb the Wick in pursuit of scientific knowledge and glory, longing for a Script which would allow her to follow in their footsteps.

However, after the unthinkable happens, Celeste's ambitions become reality. Together with a dysfunctional quintet of child prodigies, she leaves the only home she's ever known and enters a treacherous new world—a world of ancient mysteries, eldritch abominations, and impossible truths—in the hopes of reaching the top of the Wick and discovering something worth living for.

But Celeste is not alone in her discontent and search for meaning. A nomadic android with no past and no future works to uncover the mysteries of his creation. An ambitious politician fights to make her mark on a world that wants her dead. An ageless mastermind vows to tear down the heavens themselves. A people destined for genocide rebel against their oppressors with the dream of building a better tomorrow. The flames of unrest burn ever brighter, and no one will make it through unscathed.

New chapter every 4-5 days.
