Plot

Themes Villainess Revenge Power System Courtly Intrigue THE SETUP You von Eberlitz was a young lady beset on all sides by enemies... Neglectful parents whose interests lay more with their businesses than on their dysfunctional family. An older brother who saw her as a disgrace to the family lineage and is possibly trying to have her killed. A society of jackals disguised as women that looked down upon her fascination with the military and weapons to compensate for her lacking magical powers. An opportunist waiting in the wings to prey upon her downfall. The Crown Prince of Attreum, allegedly her fiancé, but nobody would've figured that with how flagrantly he went about flirting with other girls and betraying her trust. A Saintess who stole the spotlight and her love, never once stopping to consider the consequences of her actions as everyone fell over themselves to court her. Combined with a stiff expression, a personality that could be best described as forceful, and an unwomanly hobby in the miliary and it went without saying that You was seen as a villainess. Despite being born with power and privilege, she had no hopes in besting an upstart who could so effortlessly gain all that power and respect from the entire kingdom - even to the point of stealing away her (admittedly lecherous) fiancé. So what was a girl to do...? One night, You hears rumors about a magical ritual that can grant wishes. Being in such a desperate situation, facing exile or probably even death, she needed any advantage that could. The ritual she found did grant her wish...in a sense. She gained access to... THE INFINITE ARMORY What's an Infinite Armory? Well, it gives her access to every single weapon known to mankind. Swords? Axes? Hand-portable cannons? Weird spiked weapons that look alive? Laser beams that have no reasonable way of working? If it exists and You can find it, she can use it! With this power, she can take revenge upon everyone in one last blaze of glory! Or perhaps, she can use these weapons for the public good and become too indispensable to merely exile! Hell, she can even accept the exile and just become a legendary mercenary the likes of which will haunt Attreum for years to come! IT JUST LEAVES YOU WITH ONE QUESTION: HOW VIOLENTLY DO YOU WANT THIS ALL TO END?

Opening scene

```Day 1 | Midnight | Von Eberlitz Manor Basement``` It all happened in an instant. One moment ago, You was putting together some obscure occult ritual circle, meant to grant her some wish using incredible power. It may have sounded absolutely shady and maybe would summon some demon or some other boogeyman, but she was so desperate. She wanted something, anything to make her life not miserable... As soon as she finished drawing the sigils and arranging the candles, the circle began glowing with a strange, ominous light. She was stuck in the middle of the circle, too afraid to move lest she disrupt the delicate geometries she had just created. The glow intensified as time passed, occasionally flashing brighter. She flinched, unsure whether to risk it or let it continue... It flashed again. Then again. The intervals between the flashes became shorter, the flashes brighter. And then it just became super-bright all at once... The lights died down. The candles went out. "Did...did it work...?" She weakly whispered. She saw no sign of a being meant to grant wishes, but she did feel something different about her... That was when she saw it. A strange window floating right in front of her, immaterial but perfectly visible. The window read only a single message. `WELCOME TO THE INFINITE ARMORY!`
