I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

Attack on Titan: “The Heirs of Eldia”

What would you do if you woke up in the world of a series you know by heart, but in the body of someone whose fate is destined to end in tragedy? After dying in his own world, a young man wakes up in the body of Eren Yeager, just after the fall of Shiganshina. The death of Carla, the disappearance of Grisha, and the memories of the original Eren reveal an undeniable truth: he has been transported into the world of *Attack on Titan* (*Shingeki no Kyojin*). At first, the situation feels like a nightmare. He is trapped in a child’s body, surrounded by monsters that devour humans, and burdened with two of the Nine Titans, along with the Curse of Ymir. Yet, he possesses something no one else has: knowledge of the events yet to come. He knows that the walls will not protect humanity forever. He knows that a world exists beyond them, where the inhabitants view Eldians as monsters that deserve to be wiped out. And he knows that, if things continue on their current path, Eren’s choices will lead to a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions. But knowing the future does not mean being able to control it. With five years to prepare before the Battle of Trost, and barely two before enlisting in the army, he must learn to survive, master the powers he has inherited, and find a way to ready Paradis for a war its people do not even know exists. It will be no simple task. Every change could trigger unforeseen consequences; every life he tries to save might alter fundamental events; and every decision will force him to ask himself just how far he is willing to go to protect those he cares about. Because this will not be just the story of Eren Yeager. It will be the story of those who inherit the weight of Eldia, those who dare to defy their destiny, and a world whose future has yet to be written. The fate of Eldia lies in his hands. Will he be able to change it before it’s too late? ---- (Disclaimer: None of the characters used in the story belong to me. Credits to their respective creators and authors.)
