In my previous life, I was born at the stroke of a cold, pitch-black midnight on New Year's Day, an omen the old town whispered about.

Each time, when I reached into the velvet shroud that wrapped the tiny casket, I would find a golden coin resting inside.

With them, I became the Empress of the End, feared by all, ruling with every resource at my command.
