Aetheria: Critical Seed

In Aetheria, your avatar was supposed to be a dream. For Ichika, it became a tomb. Ichika, known in the professional gaming world as "AKEMI_SOL," sought the ultimate escape. Tired of being treated as an outsider because of her foreign features, she designed the perfect, indistinguishable Japanese avatar to finally blend in . But as the servers roared to life, reality fractured. A catastrophic "Critical Seed Anomaly" has fused a post-apocalyptic future with the game’s starting zone. There is no black-haired avatar. There is no logout button. Trapped in her own physical body and waking up on a rusted laboratory floor, Ichika finds herself surrounded by Level 60 nightmares that should not exist. In this broken world, the sensory limiters are gone: every cut is agonizingly real, and every death is permanent. With a "Premium Help Package" as her only lifeline and a cold, pragmatic stranger as her only ally, Ichika must navigate a meat-grinder where players are being slaughtered by the hundreds. The System’s final recommendation is no longer a tutorial. It is a sentence: "...Run for your lives." What to expect: Hardcore Survival: No plot armor. Actions have brutal, permanent consequences . Dark LitRPG: A broken system with unique achievements like "First Blood". Smart Female Lead: A protagonist who uses her pro-gamer instincts to survive the impossible. Pure Horror: Visceral descriptions of creatures and a suffocating atmosphere . [No Harem | No Smut | Strategic Progression | Psychological Horror]

MYSTERIES OF ARCHIVE

What happens when your past memories start to unfold and you start questioning your existence. Something similar happened with Nero. The Archive has never made mistakes. It records every confirmed moment of history, every stable branch of time, every reality humanity has been allowed to remember. Within its endless halls of servers and steel, nothing is lost—nothing is forgotten. At least, that’s what Nero Vale believed. A junior archivist living a quiet, predictable life, Nero has spent years cataloguing fragments of broken timelines, safely removed from the events they record. His world is built on routine, logic, and the comforting certainty that the past cannot reach back. But one night, the Archive breaks its own rules. A record appears that should not exist. A classification without meaning. A name that should never have been stored. And suddenly, the machine designed to observe time begins to observe him. As unexplained anomalies ripple through the Archive, Nero finds himself at the center of something the system cannot define—something that responds to his presence, reacts to his thoughts, and grows stronger each time he tries to understand it. The more he searches for answers, the more reality begins to behave as though it remembers him… differently. Guided—and watched—by Helia Krusate, an analyst who knows far more than she admits, Nero is forced to confront the possibility that the Archive is not merely a passive observer of history, but a living structure with its own memory, intent, and secrets buried beneath layers of recorded truth. In a place where timelines fracture silently and identities can be rewritten without warning, Nero must question everything he knows about existence, causality, and the nature of self. Because some records are not meant to be uncovered. And some lives were never meant to exist. As the boundary between data and reality begins to blur, one question echoes through the endless halls of the Archive: What happens when the past refuses to stay recorded—and starts looking back?

F Grade Healer Becomes Strongest Biomancer

【WSA 2026 Entry】 ════════════════════ Birth of the Biomancer: Mio was the worst healer in Tokyo. F-grade, dead weight—her party kept her around out of pity until they did the math and left her bleeding in a ruined cathedral. Something ancient was waiting there. It offered her a Class that devours its hosts—a path of power that claimed the lives of the three Biomancers who came before her. Mio said yes anyway. She’d already felt the sting of a slow death; what was one more monster in her veins? Now pain is currency, death is fuel, and the hunger grows with every kill. The Bureau wants a weapon. Her sister wants her home for dinner. Mio agreed to both. In a world of Systems and Dungeons, power isn't a gift; it's a trade. And Mio is finally ready to pay the price. ════════════════════ What This Is: [1] This is a progression fantasy with system elements, but the system serves the story, not the other way around. Expect meaningful numbers, not stat spam. [2] Romance is not the focus. Mio has bigger problems. But expect a slow-burn later down the line! [3] The story gets dark, but it's earned. No grimdark for shock value. ════════════════════ Schedule: 1-2 chapters daily @ 10am-2pm CST | Chapter Length: 1,000-1,500 words ════════════════════ Powerstone Goals: 100 = +1 chapter 250= +2 chapters 500= +3 chapters 800 = +5 chapters ════════════════════ Author's Note: This is my debut contracted work, born from a love for progression fantasy where power isn't a gift; it's a trade. I’m committed to seeing this journey through to the end. As long as you guys keep reading and supporting, the chapters won't stop. Let’s see how high the price of power goes. ════════════════════ Support Me: Collections, comments, and reviews keep this alive! ════════════════════ #weak_to_strongest #female_lead #mass_awakening #dark_fantasy

The Only Answer Is DEATH! (唯一の答えは...DEATH!)

In the sprawling, neon-lit labyrinth of Tokyo, Yasakchiru Mahitaro's life has always been a quiet torment. At 37, trapped in the grueling grind of a supermarket known for overwork and ruthless management, his days are filled with exhaustion, ridicule, and the unshakable shadow of a childhood tragedy. Framed for a fellow student's death, ostracized, and scarred by a world that never forgave him, Mahitaro has spent decades wandering through life like a ghost, surviving but never living. One night, pushed beyond the edge of despair, he ends his life-but death is not the end. Awakening in his own past, he is given a second chance, though it comes tangled with the memories of every failure, every loss, and every death he endured. Trapped in endless loops of time, Mahitaro faces a cruel reality: no matter what he does, fate has a way of repeating itself, and the faces of those he loves-and those who torment him-return with relentless precision. Through the haze of depression and the sting of grief, Mahitaro begins to fight back. With each reset, he searches for patterns, allies, and answers, uncovering the dark figure that has haunted his loops: a mysterious red-haired student whose cruelty and cunning seem limitless. Alongside him is Barisu Vultari, a brilliant but enigmatic peer whose knowledge of time theory may be Mahitaro's only hope of breaking free. The Only Answer Is DEATH! ( 唯一の答えは死だ!) is an emotional, harrowing journey through despair, rage, and resilience. Every reset brings heartbreak, every choice carries the weight of countless lives, and every loop forces Mahitaro to confront the darkest truths about humanity-and himself. This is a story of horror, heartbreak, and the fragile sparks of hope that survive even in the most relentless cycles of time. Season - 2 - Desciption: In Tokyo's neon-lit sprawl, fourteen-year-old Mahitaro walks a world he has already bled to save. Past loops haunt him-bloodied streets, the shattered bodies of his brother Yasuke and closest friend Gekidō, the lives he could not save. Every scream, every death, is etched into his mind, yet tonight he steps again into a storm he cannot escape. A bright day at Tokyo's newest amusement park descends into nightmare. Mahitaro, Gekidō, and the now-adult Yasuke face rides meant for laughter-where steel cables snap, restraints twist into deadly snares, and hidden mechanisms lie in wait. In a world where a single misstep can mean death, Mahitaro moves with the precision of one who has survived a thousand grotesque deaths, each more horrifying than the last. From the shadows, Eruto Kaiju watches-a figure once close in a past future, now consumed by bitterness and revenge. Alongside a masked, enigmatic old gran gran, he orchestrates carnage with cruel intent. Blood spills, screams echo through neon light, and Mahitaro teeters on the edge of despair, tested to the limits of sanity and resolve. As loops press relentlessly, each death more grotesque than the last, Mahitaro faces a chilling truth: he cannot save everyone. Yet in the darkness, amid suffering and terror, a fragile spark remains-a burning resolve to protect the family he loves so dearly once more. Every heartbeat, every step, becomes a battle against fate itself, in a tale of relentless horror, shattered innocence, and the haunting question: how much can a person endure before the world finally breaks them?
