Elysium Protocol: Code Genesis

In 2038, Full-Dive VR has transcended entertainment—it's a second life. At its pinnacle is Elysium Protocol, a virtual world promising unparalleled immersion. But on launch day, a million players vanish, their physical bodies left empty, their minds trapped in a digital prison with no log-out. What was hailed as humanity's ultimate escape has become a terrifying new reality, where death is permanent and time no longer obeys natural laws. Among them is Yuki Takasu, a genius-level intellect who despises games, forced into Elysium by his younger sister, Maya. As the game glitches into a fragmented, pulsing world, Yuki discovers he's been granted "Chrono-Void"—a unique, unstable ability that distorts time and hints at the underlying code of their digital cage. When a chilling message appears—"Initiating Loop Cycle: 001"—Yuki realizes this isn't just a prison; it's a terrifying, repeating experiment. Now, with his sister's fate tied to the game's darkest secrets and a mysterious Warden hunting players for an unknown purpose, Yuki must unravel the twisted code of Elysium Protocol. To find Maya and break the endless "Loop," the boy who hated games must now master a power that defies reality itself, before their digital afterlife becomes a permanent, inescapable end.
