The Beginning Of Freedom

Weiss Schnee was born a puppet, destined to be a pawn in the game of Atlas' elite. She had grown up a soul forged in porcelain and ice, her lifeless fate laid out before her. But what happens when, at the age of thirteen, Weiss happens upon the diaries of her grandfather: Nikolas Schnee. She reads his journals, coming to learn of who he truly was and of the device he had begun developing before his death, a miracle maker known as the Hōgyoku. Mystified and inspired by the ruined texts, Weiss devoted her life to developing and finishing her grandfather's creation. At the same time, she finally manages to obtain an ounce of freedom, an education at Beacon Academy. She finishes the creation of the Hōgyoku mere weeks before her departure, before fusing herself with the orb in order to obtain a new fate. But a simple life of freedom and choice is not what Weiss desires, no, a hate-filled yet cold and calculating child sets in motion the death of the gods and the crumbling of reason, becoming an instrument of Deicide.
