In the fortified city-state of Changye, despite its reputation as one of the most undesirable places to live, individuals still have the opportunity to earn money and survive within its walls. However, everything changed after the Shanghai Risk Event, a catastrophic disaster caused by a reality warper that tore through Eurasia. This event unleashed a wave of anomalous phenomena and creatures, leading to the emergence of "Anoms" - anomalies capable of transforming objects, creatures, and even people into dangerous and unfamiliar entities. Within the confines of Changye, beneath the auspices of the Shichinin no Ken Association - an affiliate of the Otherside Bureau - lies a small office dedicated to finding and gathering information on these anomalies. This is the story of an Assistant who finds himself employed by an organization tasked with hunting down these anomalies and navigating the horrors that have become commonplace in this dystopian reality. This is a tale of a world plunged into darkness, where monsters, demons, cryptids, and anomalies roam freely, and how the people who inhabit it must confront unimaginable horrors as part of their daily existence.

backrooms – First Echo

Daniel Voss, an ordinary individual thrust into the anomalous expanse of the Backrooms, awakens in Level 0 equipped only with a newly integrated Survival System. Facing relentless environmental hazards, deteriorating mental stability, and unpredictable entities, he begins a methodical process of adaptation and growth. Through disciplined observation, strategic resource management, and incremental mastery of the system’s mechanics, Daniel transforms initial vulnerability into steadily increasing capability. Each level presents distinct challenges—environmental extremes, shifting geometry, darkness, pursuit, sensory overload, and deceptive endpoints—that he confronts with escalating competence. Over an extended period, repeated encounters, carefully chosen upgrades, and hard-earned milestones compound his advantages. Passive resistances, active abilities, and fundamental alterations to how he interacts with the Backrooms’ rules accumulate, shifting the dynamic from mere survival to dominance. The narrative follows his measured progression across multiple levels, culminating in a decisive assertion of control over the anomalous structure itself. By the conclusion, Daniel achieves an irreversible position of absolute authority within the Backrooms, rendering him effectively unbeatable and granting him permanent sovereignty over its domain. The story emphasizes persistence, analytical thinking, and the systematic exploitation of available systems to overcome an environment designed to be inescapable. A software engineer awakens in the Backrooms with a Survival System and rises as the Pantheon’s Conductor, only to discover that the greatest threats are not the entities — but the gods who created the systems and the man who nearly destroyed reality itsel
