Shadow Slave | Sleepless Dreamer

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

Doomsday Life Simulator System In A Zombie Apocalypse World Update Era

Due to the whims of a higher-dimensional being called "The One", the World of Terra ushered in a Monthly Apocalypse World Update Era. Every month, the World will draw a random monthly apocalypse world update theme, and the world will transform depending on what update theme has been drawn. Starting with a Zombie Apocalypse World theme, The World of Terra became infested with zombies! As a transmigrator, Zayne Voss, who thought he was living in a normal modern world, was caught up in this madness. Fortunately, he awakened the innate ???-rank talent, the Doomsday Life Simulator System! [The Doomsday Life Simulator System allows the host to simulate your future and life in a given doomsday scenario.] [For example, the simulator will randomly draw a doomsday scenario, and one of them might be a zombie apocalypse scenario. In that case, the host can experience life in a zombie apocalypse world.] [Of course, it's not limited to that, as there are also different kinds of doomsday scenarios like the Helios Extinction Event, where the sun explodes and humanity faces such a world-ending scenario.] [Not all doomsday scenarios are winnable and survivable, as some can be a dead end. However, your goal is not to win but to survive as long as possible and attain as many achievements as possible.] [The longer you survive and the more you accomplish within that doomsday scenario, the higher your score will be. The higher the score, the greater the rewards you'll receive.] [The rewards you can receive are mostly related to the power, skill, experiences, and talent that you possessed before the doomsday life simulation ended. They will be brought back to the real world so the host can gain power from doing life simulations.] -Ding! [The host can choose one doomsday scenario from four of the following:] [A. Helios Extinction Event] [B. AI Singularity Rebellion] [C. Global Ocean Survival] [D. Acid Rain Catastrophe] Drawing the doomsday scenario called "Global Ocean Survival," where everyone started with a wooden raft on a vast ocean, Zayne grinded in the doomsday simulation to become stronger in the real world! While everyone was still running away from zombies, Zayne had already eaten a Fairy Fruit from the Global Ocean Survival World and killed all the zombies around him! *** Good day, dear readers!

My System Wants The World To End

The day the System appeared, humanity believed it was their salvation. It arrived without warning, rewriting the rules of existence in a single moment, and people clung to it as a sign that survival was still possible. Dungeons opened across the world. Monsters flooded the cities, tearing through streets that had once felt safe and familiar. And people awakened supernatural abilities to fight back, powers that felt impossible only hours before. Levels, skills, and quests became the new law of reality, replacing governments, science, and common sense with glowing screens and invisible rules that no one fully understood. But for Kael, the System is… different. Where others find guidance and purpose, he feels an unease that never fades, as if something is watching him too closely. While others receive quests to save the world, to protect cities or slay monsters, his System gives only one command, cold and absolute, with no room for interpretation: [Primary Objective: End the World.] The words appear clearly before his eyes, impossible to ignore, and impossible to misunderstand. At first, he believes it’s a glitch. A mistake. He assumes the System has malfunctioned, that his objective will correct itself once things stabilize. But the rewards are real. Each time he acts in a way that aligns with the command, power flows into him without hesitation or delay. Every disaster he causes… no matter how small or unintended, his strength increases. Every powerful being he eliminates… whether monster or human, the System responds with growth and approval. Every step toward humanity’s downfall… even those taken in doubt or fear, pushes him further along the path laid out for him. The System grows stronger. Its presence becomes heavier, more insistent, as if feeding on chaos and ruin. Soon Kael realizes a terrifying truth. This is not an error, and it is not unique to him alone. The System guiding humanity may not be their savior. It does not exist to protect or preserve what remains. It might be the executioner of an entire world, patiently guiding events toward a single, inevitable end. Now trapped between humanity and a System that rewards destruction, Kael must decide. Every choice he makes carries weight, and there is no option without consequences. Will he fight against the System controlling his fate… Or will he become the harbinger of the world’s end?
