Cruel Violet - [Post-Apocalyptic Serial-Killer LitRPG]

Everyone has a calling. Everyone but Violet.

It's been centuries since the world fell to the mist and crystal. It will be far longer before anyone learns why. Wherever they came from, they changed everything. The flora, the fauna, the very air, and of course, the people. The world itself grows sharper teeth and claws with every passing day.

Humanity is slowly returning from the safety of the mountains, the only refuge they once had from the mist. They are mastering the crystals and the strange clarity they offer, and a new society is emerging over the ruins of the old.

Now, at the age of five, every child receives a crystal inlay ring that reveals their calling. And everyone has a calling, a specific area they excel in and a unique method of growth. From combat, to administration, to healing. Everyone has a calling. Everyone has some kind of control.

Everyone but Violet.

Eleven years ago, Violet got her ring the same as every other child. And for eleven years, she's been the only one with no calling. She's learned to adapt to the ridicule and the pity this inspires. She always knows just the right thing to say at just the right time to stay alive—and to stay fed. She wears a beloved and kind persona, which she hopes will replace the abilities she can’t offer.

But she knows it will never be enough. Not for her, and not for the people around her.

At least... until she finds herself with blood on her hands. As the red drips from her fingertips she finally understands how to feed her calling… and her appetite.
