Published the first two chapters to a non-linear 24 chapter piece on Nozomi Kirifuji before, during, and after the events of Cult of Takumi – Overlord. 

First creative-writing/fanfiction piece I’ve done. I initially had this as a short one-shot, before it ballooned into this. Canon-compliant, as much as I can make it. 

To be honest, Nozomi was never my favorite character in 100line (that goes to Takumi/Eito/Hiruko), but her position in Overlord is fascinating yet horrifying from a psychological horror perspective. I wanted to explore this and her relationship with Takumi more in this piece, which, despite its focus in many routes, I found quite underbaked at times. 

This isn’t a romantic Takunozo piece, despite the relationship tag—in fact, far from it. Though it focuses on Takumi and Nozomi’s relationship, it is probably more of an anti-Takunozo piece in rhetoric, but that’s to be expected for any pieces based on CoT Overlord. 

Piece contains spoilers for Cult of Takumi (Overlord), Steady-Fundamental, and 2nd Scenario routes. In addition, standard CoT route warnings apply. Anyways, have fun beating Takumi with imaginary hammers in your mind.
