Displaced by war, Pingue, a young teen, finds himself working in the coal mines to repay the debt of living. One day, after hours of work, a mercenary affiliated with the rebellion group, the Rejects, kills the men who worked him to the bone. Joining them, Pingue finds himself the head of their most important mission: the assassination of the King of Corrumpo.

This work contains no traces of AI, from the cover art to story ideas to execution. Everything is manmade.

This story contains heavy topics, such as rape, racism, violence, and more. Harsh and inappropriate language that might offended readers will occur. Viewer discretion is advised.

Also, I apologize for the poor quality of the cover art. I refuse to let AI plague my work, as stories only become meaningful when people, humans, make them. I'd rather have a terrible Canva Cover Art I made in 10 minutes that AI Slop. If anyone feels to, I'd gladly accept and credit any form of artwork.
