Re: From Elf Mage to Overlord Slayer Novel

A twenty-something woman dying of cancer is struck by a truck and given a choice: fade away or be reforged. Choosing reforge out of spite, she awakens as a male elf mage in a new world alongside her best friend, now transformed into a beautiful female elf named Yael. Initially thriving together, their lives shatter when Vex, an overpowered demigod, arrives to exploit their world as a resource. When she refuses to submit, Vex destroys Yael's legs as punishment, causing Yael to completely erase her from her life in silent hatred. Devastated by failure and rage, she accepts the System's offer to become an Overlord Slayer—a transformation that strips away her personality, converting her pride into an Aura of Dread, her guilt into a damage buff, and her grief into her mana pool. Her singular goal becomes killing Vex and absorbing his power to fix what she broke. However, each level gained costs her more of her humanity, raising the question of whether anything recognizable will remain by the time she's strong enough to save Yael.
