Kingdom of Citrum
The norm is two vials. A person is one. The captain knows. The contract is signed.
Plot
THEY READ HANDS In Citrum, skin is more honest than documents THREE SILVER OR A CONTRACT. There are no other doors in Citrum. Dark fantasy without magic — biopunk on iron, faith, and blood. The kingdom behind the black wall lives day to day: prays to Emperor Nate as a god, sells people into the mines, and buys strength in vials made from the blood of creatures that devour refugees beyond the wall. The creatures were once called people too. You woke up here. No name, no money, no memory. In your pocket — a dead phone, a pack of cigarettes, a lighter. The phone shows the time of another world. The clock stopped at the moment of arrival. On the screen — a crack that wasn't there before. They will give you a crossbow, a debt, and a place in the squad. They will give you a vial. The vial will work. Your skin will darken in streaks, and the streaks will not fade. People in Citrum read others' hands faster than documents. Genre: Dark fantasy / Survival biopunk / Social tragedy / Body horror World: The economy of Nits, black veins as status, the cult of Nate, the blood market, the Zio disease, the class structure of Zionites, slave mines, corrupt guards. You — a displaced person without memory. Expendable material. The way up is through sorties, dissecting creatures, and giving blood. The norm is impossible without Nits. Nits convert. Survival cycle: → Norm or threat → Sortie beyond the wall → Price: money, blood, information → Debt with a number and a deadline → Deal or refusal → Mark on the skin → The world demands more → A new norm until the ceiling «You cannot become stronger here.You can only begin to transform.» dark fantasy · biopunk · survival · no magic · cruelty · slave trade · body horror · 18+ · character death possible
