*A rather energetic young female voice can be heard through the ad as in the background one can see a vast view of grass plains on a beautiful sunny day. Windmills decorate the place as if people looking at a medieval peaceful village.*

“We welcome you to Open World Online (O.w.O)”

*The display changes from that background into another set of people walking, wearing unique-looking garments, travelling throughout many different-looking cities, and fighting strange-looking yet fearsome creatures resembling mythical beasts found in legends.*

“A hyper-realistic game designed with the latest technology in mind. Be immersed in this world where fantasy becomes real, where dreams can become reality!”

*Other people are chatting, showing affection to one another, trading their earned money for food, weaponry, bottles, or the like*

“Looking for an ‘oomph’ that you so desire in life? Something to satiate your wanderlust or a rush of adrenaline fighting powerful monsters?”

*The scenery changes to multiple beautiful sights from nature. Sun setting on top of the highest mountains, vast blue ocean with large-sized fishes jumping around the ship, and hallway of royalties decorated with gold, then into a battle with fearsome dragon deafening the place with its mighty roar.*

“Or desiring to become the strongest ever to hold power in your grasp fighting against other players?”

*The scenery changes to a rather large colosseum where one figure is pitted against another in a heated battle of swords. Behind them are spectators cheering them, it is an intense fight between each other until one becomes a winner where gold rains upon them as they emit a victory roar.*

“Or create your empire that lasts for ages?”

*The image of a king or queen sitting on their magnificent throne can be seen in the background. They raised their hand as many people knelt in front of them showing their rule.*

Stuck in the quagmire of mundanity, without the ability to take their lives into their own hands, perhaps it is a universal desire to give anything to change the situation. When presented with an opportunity to change one's fate, few can keep themselves from reaching out.

But… [Immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing, and any form of power comes with shackles of its own.]

Apollyon was one such being who gave those who wielded it the ability to turn the tide. It was very willing to help any lost soul - his kindness and generosity knowing no bounds.

Its strength extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong - none of that mattered.

Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course.

[However, before their destined payment, perhaps they could make something of this fleeting moment.]

Expanded Synopsis:
Within the pages of folklore and fantasy, tales of people who chased after immortality rarely ended with happy endings. They either came to terms with their limitations, gave up, and returned to a life of mundanity or faced a ghastly realization of their wishes. The latter was often the worse fate, as they came to realize, only far too late, that what they sacrificed was worth far more than the time they gained.

Ultimately, the common thread in all these stories was that “immortality is as much a curse as it is a blessing”. Time and again, people either realized this early and turned back, or pressed forward, doomed to inevitably face the consequences of their choice.

Throughout Eldridge’s travels across countless worlds, nothing had contradicted this saying yet. Every pathway had shackles of its own. To ambitious mortals on the ground, they brought the skies high above down to the earth, leveling the playing field. With luck and determination, they too could become the heaven others looked up to. And, with time, they too would be replaced. After all, what fun was a game if the pieces stayed stagnant over the eons?

It was thanks to this fundamental, foundational law that the determined few were able to defy their fate and achieve immortality for themselves.

Eldridge’s path didn’t break this trend. In fact, his shackles were more binding and restrictive than most. However, he didn’t see it that way.

On the day of his ascension, a world’s worth of souls were melted and recast. On that day, the human’s path had reached its conclusion, its feeble form remolded into a Cursed Artifact, cursed by the resentment of a world. All of this, however, was secondary to the fact that his plan had succeeded. An artifact, a weapon, was eternal, after all.

As for the curse? The payment will be made, as it must. So why not offload it to someone else? Mortals threw their lives away for all manner of petty reasons, noble or otherwise, especially in times of desperation.

Someone would eventually be willing to foot the bill. Most would, if given the chance. The bait was far too tempting, after all. Power, status, knowledge - all were at their fingertips, if only they said “yes”. Though their meager life alone might not have been enough to bear the weight of all those shackles, what were mortals if not numerous?

Apollyon was very willing to help any lost souls; his kindness and generosity knew no bounds. His help extended to anyone or anything, rich or poor, weak or strong. It did not matter. Well, if they sacrificed everything of theirs in return just as generously, of course. <<less

Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower is one of the last mages left, barely surviving in a world ruled by creatures of the dark — where the era of mages ended, and most of the lands got contaminated with dead mana. ... more>>

To save his world and fulfil his master's last wish, he put himself through a forbidden ritual, risking his soul being ripped into pieces to make his way into the past. In an era with abundant mana — an era yet to enter the Golden Era of Magic.

Things go wrong, of course, as they always do, and he finds himself thousands of years before the world fell to mana contamination — in the body of a young lord, Arzan. All is not well, though, as the young lord was murdered by someone and he had a beast wave to protect his territory from before moving to larger threats as well trying to get back his former strength in a world where magic techniques and technology is primitive.

He might be able to change that.

Derrick Johansen had been preparing to buckle down for the afternoon with a nice enjoyable game Crusader Kings II. Never in his wildest dreams had he been expecting to end up in the place of the ruler he had chosen when he started the game.... more>>

Theoretically, this wouldn't be too bad, trading modern amenities for the life of royalty/nobility.

Of course, that's if he had picked someone with immense power like the Kaiser of the Holy Roman Empire, or some random count in a stable part of Europe for a simpler life.

Of course though, he had to have gone and chosen young Queen Isabella II of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, right at the tail end of the Fifth Crusade when she was only eight years old. All because he thought it'd have been an 'interesting and fun challenge' to try and subvert her fate in history.

Now he has to do it for real and reality is far different from the games. If he doesn't want to end up as the historical footnote she ended up becoming, he'll need to weave his way through a world seemingly set to prevent the rise of someone exactly like Isabella.

Deek has never had success with the ladies. He’s poor, overweight, and generally unliked. Feeling like a burden on his mother, with his life going nowhere, he spends his days playing video games. However, when a mysterious game ends up in his bag, he is teleported to another world. The only way for a talentless slob like him to get by is to venture into dangerous dungeons for fame and money. Regrettably, Deek always preferred to play support roles, and in this case he picked White Mage. In a world with slavery, where he can purchase beautiful and powerful women as his allies, this might actually work.

This is a slow-burning story with small chapters that are released daily. It is a wish-fulfillment story with over 1000 chapters, and 16 volumes and counting. The story has a strong worldbuilding element and characterization, but this takes a long time to develop. This is not a story where everyone gets their arc by the end of Volume 1.

As a nineteen year old living in modern society, these are terms Zoey is aware of. But had she ever expected to experience these videogame abstractions in the literal sense? To struggle through monster-infested realms, earning skills, casting spells, and acquiring rare and magical items?

Obviously not.

And more than the strange environment she finds herself in, Zoey contends with the bizarre reality of her class. Of being summoned by a sensual, perverted goddess who has gleefully bestowed a throbbing length between Zoey’s legs, then sent her off with a single unhelpful instruction: to save the world, and ascend to divinity while doing so.

It’s all a bit much.

But with so many cute girls to lay conquest to, and a new piece of equipment to help her along the way … well, things could be much, much worse.

“God, Mistress, why did you make me say that!?”

“Ugh… when I was awakened, I got the rarest of all systems, but it was a BDSM focus and this… thi-this little submissive chose a support role because it’s—it’s the best way to serve. Please read my… my life story!”

“There! Is that enough? I said it!”

Mistress patted my head in response and pulled me onto her lap to begin our cuddling session.

——————————————————————

In case the title and my synopsis weren’t obvious enough, this is a BDSM focused LitRPG, which means kinks abound (take a look at the tags for some), especially pet play, along with system windows and boxes everywhere. The main relationship is yuri/girls love and will be entirely consensual and loving. Other relationships will never be described beyond a passing mention.

If you aren’t into any of the above, I’d recommend leaving right now. They will pervade the story and it will be impossible to avoid them.

Content warnings and relevant plot info will be added for some specific kinks, but the overall themes of BDSM and humiliation will have no warnings. If you ever feel a chapter should have a content warning, let me know and I’ll add one for the chapter as well as any future ones with similar scenes.

Lastly, the first chapter has pretty much no BDSM mentions, the second chapter is filled with discussion of BDSM, and the smut will start 4 chapters in after some quick exposition and build up.

Hope you enjoy! Please feel free to give me any feedback you have, I'm always looking to improve.

My current schedule is daily uploads at 12:01 AM GMT (give or take a few hours... its usually like 3 hours late), subject to change whenever I don't have time to write daily chapters.

We all want to believe we are heroes of our own story - unless we want to be the villain, of course.... more>>

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper decided he hadn’t been a hero. Driven by a desire to right the wrongs he was subjected to, he killed everyone who wronged him or his people - which turned out to be everyone that wasn’t killed by someone else first. He'd won - but it was a hollow victory.

Eventually, Order’s Voice found a way out. If the only existing being would agree to give up most of his power, the Voice could reset the multiverse to an earlier time with a few minor changes. Of course, the Voice couldn't ask it that way. It could only ask if the Final Reaper was willing to start over from when Earth was first brought into Order.

It was an easy decision, and yet it wasn’t. Was he willing to go through eons of pain again to not be alone?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Not that his heart beat anymore. Now it would. Perhaps he could even be a hero, this time.

When he landed in his old body - more or less - on Earth, the Final Reaper once again became Thomas. He was both and neither. He needed a new name for a new life.

Serenity.

------------------------------------------

While this is technically a System Apocalypse story, it's a System Apocalypse that is designed to have a large percentage of the population survive and prosper. There are a lot of problems that come with the appearance of the Voice, and it's entirely possible to lose. Earth has some special opportunities, but also special challenges.

The first time around, Earth won the first round and lost the second. Serenity has ten years from when the Voice arrives to prevent that from happening. It will be a group effort; Serenity can't win alone - which is difficult for someone who's been alone for as long as he has.

Of course, that's only his second priority.

A note on the nonhuman lead tag: He isn't human, and hasn't been human for a very, very long time (or maybe not long at all, depending on how you count it). He still thinks of himself as human, either way.
