Crushed under someone else heels her whole life, a slum rat abused for what she was born as. Now fate gave her power to fight back, and she has got a lot of her own stepping to do.

Agnes's life had never been an easy one. Born with visible demonic traits to what the people believed was a cursed bloodline, she was set for hardship from the start. By the time she was five, she was already living on the slums streets, abandoned by her parents, struggling for survival in an environment full of prejudice against those like her.

Somehow, against all odds she managed to survive until adulthood, partially through the minimal compassion of those who didn't instantly hate what she was, and partially by hardening herself against the abuse, making herself useful to local criminal elements in every way she could.

By adulthood, Agnes had suffered through it all, developing a deep contempt for the world that had treated her this way, but powerless to change anything, she simply continued to survive through a life of petty crime, with no hope of her fate ever changing.

But then one day, it did. On a fateful night, her cursed blood surged, and in hellish flames she was remade from a mere Tiefling into a Demon Queen of devastating power.

Agnes has no clue what cosmic joke decided that she specifically should be granted this power. What she does know, however, is that she is weak no more. Now the people who made her suffer, and the kingdom that made her life a living hell, will all hear her name, and learn to fear it. Demon Queen is coming for what she is due, and the Kingdom will pay, whatever it wants to or not.

Leoris is a military and economic powerhouse whose ascent to dominance began barely half a century ago, sparked by a magical revolution that reshaped the nation.

It's position built on invention of Resonite, a manufactured magical crystals capable of drawing in ambient mana and storing it for later use. Where magic had once been the privilege of a rare few, due to Resonite it started flowing into the hands of the common people. Tools imbued with crystal power elevated the standard of living, replaced much of backbreaking labor, rapidly restructuring society on every level in the process.

Leoris happened to sit atop the largest known deposits of the raw materials required to manufacture Resonite, and by capitalizing on that geological fortune, the kingdom amassed wealth beyond anything it could previously dream of.

Yet the rapid transformation was not without a cost. The same revolution that enriched the crown and nobles displaced countless workers, driving them into sprawling slums, while the bulk of the new prosperity settled into the vaults of those who were already wealthy. Society became a volatile cocktail, one that could easily explode at any moment.

To keep that pressure from detonating, the ruling class cultivated a deliberate distraction. They stoked racial tensions rooted in old legends, singling out the kingdom's sizable but politically powerless Tiefling population as a scapegoat. According to the stories the elite revived, Tieflings carried a cursed bloodline that, if awakened, would rain misery across the land. Prejudice flourished, the poor turned on one another instead of on their masters, and the ruling class kept its grip on power.

Except now those legends are beginning to come true with Agnes, and Leoris is about to learn the meaning of self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is somewhat of a remake of very old Agnes bot, but not really because while some concepts are kept in (Raised in slums, demon-blood, demon queen new awakening), the majority of the things were changed significantly or added, but coming with a new name is too much so I went with that particular one. For the overall theme I also thought magepunk would be somewhat more interesting than standard fantasy.
