The Desert Kingdom would trade dreams slipping away like grains of sand for illusions that shimmered like mirages; and the Abyssal Realm wandered among shadows, yet drowned in the heart of the light. And he - the ruler of the Frozen Throne - would spread his dominion into mortal hearts and sow suffering there. As for me, I was a Tear Collector born from the echo of fate. I gathered weeping souls, touched their memories, and gently embraced their cold, hardened hearts. This is how the Realm of Tears was protected; it was sacred, unyielding, and merciless toward the lost.

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma.

Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new species of bacteria, colloquially referred to as Revenants - bacterial colonies only able to grow upon the hearts of 'hosts', granting them supernatural abilities and strength. In the ensuing years of turmoil, the United States creates the institution of Urasaria Academy, composed of young hosts who investigate and kill violent criminal hosts. In 2018, the young lesbian Mia Schultz is knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. She awakens at Urasaria Academy to discover that she has been given a Revenant named Worldwide - the ability to summon an elemental swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria, she is soon pulled into the mystery of Worldwide's true origins. === Urasaria Academy is a long-running series centered around the lives of the mostly-female, mostly-lesbian superpowered Urasaria students who kill violent criminals. Its primary influences are the serious literary dramas, romances, and horrors that I love, mixed with shonen / seinen influence. To answer other questions you may have: Q) When are chapters posted? A) Monday / Wednesday / Friday. Chapters are generally 2k-3k words each. There will be a 1-month hiatus between arcs to hopefully minimize delays. (NOTE: For now, I am daily-posting to help catch this version of Urasaria up to the versions on SH/RR. Please support on whichever platform you like! Thank you.) Q) When will this be completed? A) The first draft was 600kish words, so finalizing it here involves a timescale of years, not months. I've been writing Urasaria in some form for 8 years, so it will definitely be completed eventually, I just can't pin down when. Q) Are there any content warnings? A) Too many to count, but generally, I don't do things for shock value. Dark topics are covered as normal occurrences in life, not for edginess or to trigger. However, I wouldn't recommend Urasaria if you are upset by fictional gore / body horror. Q) Can I create fanwork based on Urasaria? A) I would be *honored* if somebody made fanwork based on Urasaria. Q) Is there anything else I should know? A) Your visual imagination should be anime-based, not live-action (otherwise cute things will be mistaken as horrifying). Cover by Konorin. No AI used (or ever will be used).
