Given infinity, even the smallest possibility will happen eventually. Obake isn’t a stranger to being alone, being born during the apocalypse among a generation of declining birthrates. Though maybe their violent disposition has more to do with that. But in either case, waking up stranded in a seemingly infinite landscape of AI-generated looking buildings strewn with mysterious corpses may prove more than they could handle. Stuck here wandering in this anomaly for who knows how long, how long will it take for them to break and end up one of the many unreasonably preserved corpses littering the landscape? If they do manage the miraculous feat of escaping this hellhole, how much of them will be left behind in their wake?
I wrote this for royal road writathon and forgot about the submission waiting process lol. I did the 25k milestone I swearsies guys.
Expectations:
SCP inspired
Backrooms inspired
There’s *technically* kind of romance with a girl love interest but not really? I left it out of the tags just in case.
There is very little gore as there is now but there may be in the future.
Some trans and non-binary stuff but not the focus for now
Psychology combined with multiple dimensions that only somewhat hurt your mind to think about. It's definitely an interesting story with fun characters and a interesting premise.
Okabe is certainly neruospicy to say the least. She's swimming through the depths of insanity like a baby seal trying to avoid a good clubbing. I won't talk about the other characters because I don't want to spoil anything, but they're also fun.
In my opinion, the setting is a bit dull at times. I would definitely appreciate some weirdness and anomalies beyond the fourth and fifth dimensional mind melting.
As for the psychological aspect? I greatly enjoyed that. The setting is essentially a fifth dimensional vice that the author uses to squeeze the brain juices of the characters out onto the pages. Like using a particle accelerator to see the insides of subatomic molecules, the author shows us the finer details of the mind by utterly shattering them.
All in all, I had a blast reading it and I would love to see more.
