tragedy

A light illuminates the entire Earth, and in the blink of an eye, an earthquake is unleashed, shattering reality. "Welcome to Circe," a voice echoes in the minds of all humans. Blue screens float before each person, displaying impossible ranks, statistics, and attributes. The initial shock transforms into horror as they discover they are no longer in their own world, that the sky has changed, and that even their own bodies feel different. Chaos erupts in minutes. Social order collapses in hours. And the struggle for control begins in less than a day. Among the millions transported, five friends—Kida, Murd, Verju, Huis, and Churn—are the only ones with true knowledge of the game and its terrors. But Circe is not exactly as they remember it… While most succumb to panic, violence, or despair, they discover that their experience might be the only hope for survival. But even among them, fear and despair take hold. Because in Circe, there are no rules. There is no respawn. There is no rest. Only one crushing truth: If they want to go home—if such a place still exists—they must first become strong enough not to die.

Gil was a detective in his past life—until a bullet ended it all. Now he's been reincarnated into a world he doesn't understand, born into a royal bloodline hunted to extinction by the World Government itself. Seven years ago, Doflamingo's crew tore through his village like a storm. They slaughtered everyone. His parents. His neighbors. Everyone he knew. And they took his sister—the only family he had left—because of the reality-bending devil fruit she'd eaten. Gil survived. Barely. And in the aftermath, his bloodline awakened. The power of Gilgamesh—a king's arsenal sleeping in his veins, waiting to be claimed. For seven years, he's trained. Investigated. Followed every lead, no matter how cold. His detective instincts from his past life are the only thing keeping him sane as he hunts through a world of pirates, marines, and monsters he never knew existed. When his investigation leads him to a small town in the East Blue, he crosses paths with a crew of misfits led by a boy in a straw hat. He doesn't know who they are. Doesn't know what they'll become. But maybe—just maybe—they're exactly what he needs to get his sister back. A darker One Piece story about loss, revenge, and finding family in the most unexpected places. Eventual Gil/Robin.

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!
