The year was 2002. In a hospital in Seoul, a four-year-old girl was rushed into emergency care after being struck by lightning. Although doctors performed immediate surgery, her chances of survival remained slim. The girl lay unconscious in her hospital bed for a long time. However, when she finally woke up, nothing was the same as before. Her name was Go Nau Rin, meaning 'Warm Rain from Heaven.' Just like her name, she was truly lovely—one who grew up giving love to others and being deeply loved in return. Now, children call her a monster or a witch, and even adults look at her with eyes full of resentment and fear. Yet, no emotion ever flickers across her face. She never cries—she only laughs. It is hard to tell if she is truly void of emotion or simply a very skilled actor. Some call her a demon. Others see her as an angel, a pillar of strength to lean on. Her life was never as peaceful as a gentle, warm rain. Instead, it was filled with days as fierce and wounding as a violent storm. But just as the sky clears and the sun rises after a heavy downpour, moments of light and beauty continued to exist in her life.

The algorithm decides who lives and who dies. Lena is a genetic engineer who designs death codes. Sebastian is a Victorian physicist trapped between eras. Their forbidden love is the spark. But the spark becomes a fire. And the fire becomes a war. This is Neo-Arcadia.

Decades of Cold War nuclear testing has led to the evolution of a new species of bacteria, colloquially referred to as Revenants - bacterial colonies only able to grow upon the hearts of 'hosts', granting them supernatural abilities and strength. In the ensuing years of turmoil, the United States creates the institution of Urasaria Academy, composed of young hosts who investigate and kill violent criminal hosts. In 2018, the young lesbian Mia Schultz is knocked unconscious and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. She awakens at Urasaria Academy to discover that she has been given a Revenant named Worldwide - the ability to summon an elemental swarm of fire scarabs. As she begins her new life at Urasaria, she is soon pulled into the mystery of Worldwide's true origins. === Urasaria Academy is a long-running series centered around the lives of the mostly-female, mostly-lesbian superpowered Urasaria students who kill violent criminals. Its primary influences are the serious literary dramas, romances, and horrors that I love, mixed with shonen / seinen influence. To answer other questions you may have: Q) When are chapters posted? A) Monday / Wednesday / Friday. Chapters are generally 2k-3k words each. There will be a 1-month hiatus between arcs to hopefully minimize delays. (NOTE: For now, I am daily-posting to help catch this version of Urasaria up to the versions on SH/RR. Please support on whichever platform you like! Thank you.) Q) When will this be completed? A) The first draft was 600kish words, so finalizing it here involves a timescale of years, not months. I've been writing Urasaria in some form for 8 years, so it will definitely be completed eventually, I just can't pin down when. Q) Are there any content warnings? A) Too many to count, but generally, I don't do things for shock value. Dark topics are covered as normal occurrences in life, not for edginess or to trigger. However, I wouldn't recommend Urasaria if you are upset by fictional gore / body horror. Q) Can I create fanwork based on Urasaria? A) I would be *honored* if somebody made fanwork based on Urasaria. Q) Is there anything else I should know? A) Your visual imagination should be anime-based, not live-action (otherwise cute things will be mistaken as horrifying). Cover by Konorin. No AI used (or ever will be used).

Based on the tale told before us, Medusa was a beautiful maiden who was seduced by Poseidon in a temple of Athena. Such a sacrilege attracted the goddess' wrath, and she punished Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Then, the Greek hero Perseus beheaded Medusa, and he used her head, which retained its ability to turn onlookers to stone, as a weapon until he gave it to the goddess Athena to place on her shield. However, the truth was far more complex. Poseidon had attempted to seduce Medusa and failed; he then forced himself upon her. Her lover at the time, the powerful goddess Athena, saw that Medusa had fallen to the seduction of men, and in her wrath, she cursed Medusa by turning her hair to snakes. Athena then kicked Medusa out, far from her temple and home. Medusa met Perseus, but he did not kill her. Instead, he was given an artifact by Medusa that would help him on his journey, and Medusa chose to disappear from the earth. She lived in seclusion, far from the human world, wrapping her snakes in a turban if she needed to venture into the human realm, and lived alone for centuries. While the other gods and goddesses walked among humans, Medusa's tale was told as a villainess, an evil woman.

One is finally realizing that she was mistaken about Medusa centuries ago, and the other one still want to pursue her, can't forget about Medusa. Will Medusa finally find happiness, or is she doomed by her curse?
