Cheating Immortality

Immortality is a myth. It's something that everyone who reaches the Immortal Realm learns, but nobody has been able to change. Until now. The goddess Adrianna has devised a secret method of retaining her memories after being returned to the cycle of rebirth. It only requires that her next life start in a magicless world within the Mortal Realm. But that's fine. Her followers are already prepared enact a ritual that will force her chosen planet to ascend to the next realm where she'll once again be able to grow in power.  But even when everything goes right, the path forward is not always easy.  *Written as part of the January 2024 Royal Road Community Magazine challenge* What to expect: Some system apocalypse shenanigans.
