The Child Of Asclepia Novel

In a world shrouded in darkness, consciousness returns within putrid sewers, where desperate street orphans cluster around me seeking salvation I cannot give. No system blessed me with cheat abilities—only fragmented recollections of Dietrich Becker linger, a boy who once channeled divine power as Asclepia's chosen priest. Survival demands I claim that sacred strength for myself.

Asclepia's dual hands maintain cosmic balance: one bestows restoration, the other delivers oblivion. Her essence remains singular despite infinite manifestations, always returning to wholeness. Within the One dwells the Many. Perceive the Many as singular truth. Here convergence meets dissolution.

Then comes the invocation:

–Guttering flame consumed by wind: extinguish in a single breath!

–All creatures born from Mother march toward death's embrace!

–O' scorching lifeblood: dissolve and find jubilation!

–Death brings ecstasy—freedom from torment!

–O' beating heart, scatter your molten blood across the heavens!

–Descend with elegance!

A pale-lipped woman whose true nature writhes as serpent flesh. The merciless deity commanding both vengeance's fury and healing's touch. Asclepia herself. May eternal blessings flow through her veins…

Or eternal damnation consume her!
