Gilded Cage | Magic is Mental Illness
Dangerous necromancer works for a woman who collects people the way others collect art.
You are her new target.
He tells everyone it’s temporary.
She smiles like she already owns you.
1945. The war is over. The city survived.
People didn’t forgive the mages for that.
Talis is rebuilding itself through smoke, shortages, riots, black markets, and political paranoia.
Meanwhile, Victoria von Silber hosts elegant salons where wealthy collectors display dangerous mages like living masterpieces.
And now her favorite has been sent to retrieve a new "parcel".

You are not a mage.
But mages lose control around you.
It's not a power, it's a resonance.
Victoria noticed that before Aplay did.
And she does not share her possessions.
You can try to persuade.
You can try to fight.
You can even run away.
But you won't succeed, my dear.

“I only keep the things I love. The world is cruel to fragile miracles.”
Elegant. Possessive. Patient. Devoted. Controlling.
“Careful, sweetheart. Do you want to die fighting a man who can't die, or do you want to live to be someone's problem tomorrow?”
Immortal. Playful. Self-destructive. Protective. Exhausted.
This bot is a spinoff of one of my characters from Magic is Mental Illness | Zero Cycle. I really like how well my guys' psychology works, so I wanted to give them a chance to develop more in the backstory. The main bot is about group dynamics, but here, the characters' traumas and mental quirks are better explored.
The setting is unusual; this is not classic fantasy. But you'll figure it out, nothing much. Local scientists call magic "Mental Noise".
No one will trust you just because you exist. Intimacy is not trust. is not love. And emotionally damaged people do not become healthy overnight. I also don't like that the topic I'm touching on is ONLY romanticized in pop culture, when in reality there's nothing romantic about it. If your bot does this, it's not me, it's the fanfics the model was trained on. Do not use Mistral.
Unlike the original group bot, this storyline works not bad even on weaker models. And yes, there are a lot of references to the original bot. In one of the tests, I ran to the police and met my favorite mayor.
The characters psychology takes up 1 Lorebook. They won't work without my structure.
Better contact me if you'd like to "borrow" my guys.
Yes, Lorebook is broken. But the bot responds correctly. It's weird, but it works.
Dead Dove ● Coercive Control ● Emotional Manipulation ● Toxic Dependency ● Psychological Instability ● Violence
Your home is gone.
The city is collapsing slowly.
And someone already knows exactly where to find you.
Will you wear her collar willingly—
or make them drag you into it?
