Between : A Story of Vanishing

Macon is an ordinary man. French father, Japanese mother, he lives alone in Paris, works an office job he never really chose, goes out with friends on Friday nights. A normal life. Nothing more, nothing less. One evening he receives a call from an unknown number. He picks up. And hears his own voice say four words he's never said before. Don't trust them. Hours later he opens his front door and falls. He wakes up in a blinding white space alongside fifty strangers. A being called Nyxael stands at the center , neither human nor monster, just immensely present- and tells them calmly that they were never supposed to be here. A routing error. She'll fix it. One by one people disappear, sent to their assigned worlds. Macon is not among them. Neither are eleven others. They get a different answer. Special criteria. A world that isn't ready yet. In the meantime a void. Temporary, she says. She doesn't say how temporary. Then the white light swallows them and they land in the dark. Twelve strangers. Black floor that feels like water. Motionless lights in the distance. No exit, no explanation, no signal. And Macon counts thirteen. Someone slipped into the group without Nyxael knowing. Or without her showing it. Someone who received the same call as everyone else - except nobody is admitting what that call actually said. Someone who might have been there before any of them arrived. As the group tries to organize, suspicion builds quietly. A photo appears , the entire group, taken before they even arrived in the void. The lights in the distance start moving for the first time. And then one of them disappears. Not dramatically. Not with a sound. Just gone. And the count goes back to twelve. Which means the intruder is still there. And now nobody else knows it but Macon. Between : A Story of Vanishing is not a story about heroes or chosen ones. It's about twelve people maybe eleven dropped somewhere between worlds with no mission, no powers, and no idea if the thing that brought them here wants them back. And about one man who heard four words before any of this started. Words he still doesn't fully understand. Don't trust them.

Cosmic Patron System: 100X Return on Every Reward

[Dungeons & Monsters]+[Streaming]+[System]+[Cultivation]+[Multiple races]+[Multiple Dimensions]+[Overpowered MC] Five years ago, The Merge shattered everything. Earth was pulled into a vast network of dimensions, overrun by dungeons and monsters — and governed by a System that turned survival into spectacle. Hunters could stream their runs to a cosmic audience, trading clout for resources, and those who awakened rose to power. Everyone else learned to endure. Reyansh endured. After losing his father to a dungeon, he's been holding his family together ever since — working multiple jobs at fifteen to support his sick mother and younger sister, all while chasing a dream that was slipping with every passing moment. He failed to awaken at twelve, he kept going anyway. 3 years later, he scrapes together enough to buy an Awakening Potion — And this time, it works. But something else wakes up alongside him. [Cosmic Patron System Initialized] A system no one else can see. While every hunter can stream their hunts, Reyansh's system is different — it connects him to beings across every dimension from the very start, and it promises something no ordinary system offers: 100× rewards on everything he earns, among other things he has yet to discover. The catch? He has to perform for it. Every dungeon run becomes a broadcast, every fight, a show. As his channel grows, powerful and mysterious patrons begin sending gifts, abilities, and opportunities his way. But the bigger his audience gets, the more dangerous the eyes in it become. Reyansh wanted strength enough to protect his family and himself but he may have gotten something more. Because in this universe where strength is everything — being watched might be the most dangerous power of all.
