There’s a couple big influences here: Solo-Leveling, Squid Game, and Code Geass. If you enjoy LITRPG stories with morally gray characters, high stakes, and smart protagonists who start weak and eventually become powerful in a unique way, you’ll probably find something to like. But be forewarned. It won’t be easy.

I'll be writing this fast, so keep in mind there's likely to be typos that we'll correct as we go. <<less

Ever dreamed to be one of your favorite characters ? ... more>>

I woke up the day of his parents' deaths, as he floated through their funerals and got offered empty feelings from a whole lot of officials, finance’s, defense’s and government's people.

They all said it was sad, that they were sorry. It really didn't help. He knew they wanted his dad's company, his parents money, connections, and stuff. Offering him support if he ever wanted to. Said he had to live up to his father's name after his period of grief.

His sadness affected me and didn't at the same time.

Not that I didn't care about what he went through.

I had his feeling and memories of them. The guilt he felt, regrets he had.

Anger for what he found and has yet to discover.

I was confused about what to do.

About him.
About myself.
The future.
The world.

How everything could and would go wrong.

I'm in a jumbled version of the MCU.

It starts with a dream about a girl living in a town conquered by demons, and the girl fighting the main demon with the help of a fox spirit. Or was it a dream after all? <<less

Hundreds of thousands of years in the future, humanity has spread across the four known universes under the heavy-handed rule of their emperor, the Faceless One. Earth is a myth, and the idea that the incredible human population came from a single world is preposterous to nearly all but the most radicle of zealots. When society has plateaued for eons, a discovery or an invention changes everything. Treasure hunters, universe hunters, and rebels use the incredible powers Huds provide to rank up their classes and abilities. Such power, inexplicably described as simple Artifact Magic, fuels the ones who dare to use such power for their own needs or wants.

Memoryless… nameless… a man finds himself on the derelict Seeker ship Perfection, one of the few colony ships built by the empire. A one-way trip to hunt for the fabled fifth universe, such ships and the million inhabitants are rarely ever heard from again. Infested with the Faceless One's Butchers, the lost man finds companionship with treasure hunters whose loose ties to the rebellion found them in the middle of interstellar space, surrounded by the bloodthirsty, transformed colonists and crew.

A Tank, a Brawler, Mender, Weaponsmith, Swordsmith, and a Crusher find something… or someone. A mindless man with unique abilities joins their ranks as the rarest class of Hud, a Caster. A Death's Knife subclass, he proves himself a powerful tracker, assassin, and something all-around unique. As the group's leader, Marrin will never squander such a powerful resource, especially trapped, surrounded by evil. <<less
