To break a curse/ To break the cursed is a game of many facettes. Do the tags look like I just mashed all of the buttons I could find? Maybe. Is that because I took parts of everything I liked and tried to create a compelling story out of it? Totally! Trust me I have a plan!
Synopsis
The World is doomed. Life as we know it will end soon unless someone takes care of it. Too bad you spent the last decade of your life dedicated to become a doctor instead of having fun. You leave the saving the world part to people more qualified than you. Your hands are full with patient that need saving themselves.
After years of grueling work as an intern and hours spent in a stuffy lab for your research you finally were able to publish your first paper! It’s about to make huge waves. Sadly you can’t fully concentrate on changing the medical system when more pressing issues arise.
You play as a genius doctor in a world that is a bizzare mix of sci-fi and fantasy elements. When everything is different can you still issue a diagnosis? Cure magic diseases, romance your co-workers and fight for your research in this Slice of Life novel
Did I mention that you get transfered to a special ward that treats a Knight’s Order/secret service
What to expect
The synopsis really does a bad job of conveying the core of my story. It’s hard to talk about it without spoiling too much. All that you need to know for now is that the story will have a Scrubs/Dr. House vibe to it. It’s a blend of personal drama, romance, slice of life and medical cases which allow you to play detective! You can expect a (hopefully) interesting cases with fictional components based on real world science. The story is supposed to have a hopeful and light hearted touch (with a bit of angst sprinkled on top). I put a lot of work into research for the medical stuff and hope I’m as acurate as possible but no guarantee of course. This whole thing is a loveletter to the topic of medicine itself because I really enjoy learning about the human body.
Terminal illnesses and death will be major themes in the story so be aware of that

No good romance without a lover right?
