Can you tell zombies will always be a fiction? Have you ever thought of a day you shall live a life out of security, praying for the worst will not fall down on yourself?... more>>

It was the question of all living creatures on Earth in the end of their 21th century.

They were real at last, the walking dead. When the first human infected by the Chronic Wasting Disease turned into a zombie, chaos soon rose within a decade. Deers had been wiped out in the efforts of stopping the spread, yet millions of people had been infected.

The only way to protect humans themselves was to build walls to seperate the infected and exclude them to the wild. It was the day humans could hardly live with mother nature again.

While humans had come to this surviving method, in Japan, a corporation named Paradise introduced a "have-never-seen-before" product, an AI that claimed itself to have gone to the Godhood. Machina was its name, and this AI was proposing humans to accept a program called "New Era of The World Tree".
It would bring humans to the World Tree it created, for them to live and experience a life of some real fantasy that they had never seen before.
And once more, humans found another mother nature to live with.

Paradise climbed to the top corporations of Japan, eventually the world within half a century, making them the most powerful corporation in AI technology and soon took over every single other company working in this field.

Was such a world come to real life really interesting?

In a modern world where magic and status boards exist, twenty-three-year-old S-Class Archmagus Aria Saciustrum found herself in the morbid situation of joining her country’s own Dungeon Dive expedition.

However, her scientific mind trumped her own feelings, and she forced herself to join her country’s first S-Class Dungeon Dive. The allure of finding a treasure or a discovery that could shake the foundations of human society was too enticing to just walk away.

So… Aria dived deep into the Dungeon, alongside her friend the S-Class Healer Yvette, and yes, her efforts had paid off. The S-Class party did manage to find a groundbreaking discovery. One that would shake the foundations of the world and would haunt the nightmares of everyone living on Planet Earth.

Just… It wasn’t what Aria had hoped for...

Hi there! Linodo here. I’m just trying out a new story while I continue to write my main series, Spirit Immortal. The releases for this story would be a little less regular, by that I mean, there will be no schedule for this series. So yeah, nothing much to say here. Enjoy~ <<less

Previously on Earth, Alemayehu and Chae-Won were childhood friends in a city in South Korea. As they were both thirteen years old, young and pretty, they were captured by some rapists in a back alley, but Alemayehu escaped and ran to the police. When she tried to run back for her friend, they held her back, but they did not arrive in time for one of the rapists to murder Chae-Won.... more>>

Thirteen years later, Maya dies trying to bravely rescue a girl who reminds her of Chae-Won from the same back alley situation, and gets transferred to a ruined world. All previous deities ― except for one last goddess, the same Chae-Won Choi who was her friend ― have abandoned it to its fate. Chae-Won is otherwise stuck ― alone ― in this world; but so is Alemayehu, who she has summoned.

The reason? A cruel endless plague has turned normal living sentient beings into artificial undead ... and also turned a once fertile ground into desert wasteland. This world is larger than Earth, has a larger percent of its surface as a landmass; the plague took nearly no time to spread through the world. For almost half a century this plague has raged, with now less than 0.01 percent of its pre-plague populace free from the plague.

The lone goddess is at her wit's end. To save the world ― or to save herself from going mad upon it ― she gave up on the chance to leave it; she now must summon a Hero who will be her last ultimate Champion to the remaining survivors. Once at a world populace exceeding fifteen *billion* sentient lives, it now has barely one and a half million living, and now twenty billion undead.

The situation has gone from bad to worse, and the state of the world with it; its survivors no longer care to think of it as an ideal world. Despite this, they still try to survive the best they can, or at least to not die out suddenly. The goddess Chae-Won has been trying to nurture an elite few of the remaining populace to be sort of heroes, to mixed results.

Maya, tasked with going to this world to organize and train the survivalists ... just might help bring their world back to the state it once was, with the goddess' help. <<less

This is not a serious project. Each chapter is written as if it was the final one. Like one would expect from a slice of life, there will be a general development that nurtures slowly in the background, whereas every chapter is intended to be its own stage, though that's not a fixed formula.
