THE GAME OF ASCENSION (Phase I — The Pikra War) The world was never ruled by kings. It was ruled by players. Two figures move civilizations like pieces on a cosmic chessboard: The Misunderstood Revolutionary. The Exiled Prodigy. And humanity is caught between them. What begins through the eyes of an ordinary side character slowly unfolds into a war spanning factions, dimensions, forgotten histories, and godlike beings known as the Asuras — ancient enemies of the Devas who once shook existence itself. At the center of it all stands one monster among men: Kae The man called the smartest human alive. The Seventh Asura Community Ruler. The greatest disciple of the legendary Gomo Taka. A being so terrifyingly gifted that he was considered worthy of leading the Immortalus Society at the age of fifty — a position even prodigies spend centuries chasing. But genius alone does not create monsters. Kae controls civilizations from the shadows, raising kingdoms and destroying nations for a single purpose: To ensure he always has enough pawns. To some, he is a savior. To others, the greatest threat in history. And the worst part? He might actually be right. As wars intensify and truths begin collapsing, one realization becomes unavoidable: The Pikra War was never the end. It was merely the opening move. --- What to Expect Multiple protagonists and shifting POVs Psychological warfare and political manipulation Cosmic power systems and ancient factions Morally grey characters Mastermind vs mastermind conflicts Large-scale wars and strategic battles Long-term mysteries and foreshadowing Villains who feel terrifyingly human --- In this game, there are no heroes. Only players. And pieces waiting to realize they were never free. ---

The White door opens — Memories of the past haunt the future. Marcen Loristu had many titles. However, one stood out the most: The Contradiction. His entire life was just a story to beings that could be explained as ‘Gods,’ and he hated it. These beings forced an old acquaintance of Marcen—, Time—, to rewind just so that he would live his entire story over, and over, and over again, just for their pleasure. On a cycle like the previous billions before, he found an escape. He would destroy an artifact that kept the words flowing, his nightmare running, the world breathing: The Console System. It was alive, resting at the edge of everything, the place where nothing except literal concepts could reach, yet he was able to enter. His greatest friend, “The Order,” who had been living through the same endless loop in a different story, a different ‘Universe,’ betrayed him before he could realise his goal when he was so close. Rebooting the system and commanding it to do a reset that would purge everything, a Factory Reset. The command broke the system itself and caused “Glitches” to arise, and “Corruptions” in the story. Now stranded in a broken multiverse, Marcen must regain his memories, save what little he can, and stop this rotting corpse of a world from being destroyed. And all the while, the Console System continuously flickered with a faint blue light. A light that shone brightly against its endless, expansive screen that covered the very border of the multiverse. Its ancient surface, that once held countless, continuing code and notifications, held naught except for one message left for a contradiction to read. — 「A Paradox has formed…」 — 《WHAT TO EXPECT》 ~ 1k minimum word count per chapter. ~ Creative settings, characters, and… author? ~ Living systems. ~ Mysterious villains. ~ MC fighting against the clock!

It was just the stray dog from the village. [A Clan Elder has appeared and is standing by to back you up.

Fu Yu awoke from a big dream, feeling like the heavens stuffed his mouth with a pie. Everything familiar suddenly became virtual. The work kitchen, the tools he used, the colleagues he cooperated with, and the customers he faced. Everyone and everything has become walking NPCs and auxiliary tools.
