Necroepilogos, deluge - 16.1

Added 2025-08-21 00:20:07 +0000 UTC

Black rain falls unceasing, from skies long burned to ash. No dead soul recalls the sun, and the soil is turned to dust. But zombie girls can reinvent the umbrella, and this time it'll be made from the skirts of a goddess.

Epub version of the chapter is also attached below!

No interlude! I thought we might have one, but it just simply doesn't fit here, so here we are, onward and outward, with arc 16. This is it, the end of the storm, the exit from the tomb, and into the teeth of whatever lies beyond. Back into the corpse of the city! Into the corpse of the world! Armed with fresh knowledge? Armed with clarity, in Elpida's case. Take a deep breath; you might need it.

This is likely gonna be a medium-sized arc, 8-10 chapters. I've got things in store for this, so, we shall see! I hope you enjoy this opening chapter, dear readers, just as much as I enjoyed writing it!

In the meantime, guess what? More art from the discord, to share with all of you! This week I have something quite special, because it feels like a rough version of a future potential cover or something, it's very striking (despite it being a WIP that was never brought to fruition, which I got permission to add to the fanart page regardless.) The artist didn't give it a title, so here is 'Reaching for the sun', (by spring). I really really like this one. It feels like a visual summation of some core themes!
