RoyalRoad chapters include books 1, 2, and 3 (ongoing) BOOK 1 WILL STUB ON JANUARY 11TH! NOTE: This story deals with trauma and body horror. If you are going to be frustrated with characters experiencing and handling trauma in realistic, flawed ways, this is probably not the story for you!  The characters do eventually overcome that trauma, but it takes time, making mistakes, and learning from them, for that growth to occur.  If I haven't scared you away yet, then I hope you enjoy this creepy, quirky, queer story about a man whose soul gets stuck in a little glass bottle. Kanin did not get your standard reincarnation. First, his soul gets stuck in a bottle of ink. Then, a senile wizard accidentally conscripts him into doing his yardwork. And as if that wasn't enough, a parasitic shadow has decided to use Kanin's soul as its personal battery pack. What begins as a quest for freedom—and then to recover his human body—becomes an adventure of ever growing scope, attracting the attention of friends, foes, and gods alike.
