This is a story about a society of people who mercilessly kill people to gain supernatural powers. It is told through the viewpoint of a member of the society who refuses to kill innocents and suffers because of it. I can't say much more without spoilers but it's not as dark as it sounds and the main character is surprisingly like able. It has a little side romance on one of the paths but it's mostly a fantasy epic adventure.

Whenever you see a choice in stars *like this* that means you do something, but otherwise you're saying the choice to somebody. If you see an item but you can click a link before picking it up, the item is optional and just reminds you about something that happened.
