Death and Taxes. ... more>>

The two insurpassable laws of the universe.

So long as humans exist in this world, these things will remain.

However, there is a 3rd law which has always, and will always implement itself on people.

Suffering.

Reincarnated in a new world, five people are forced to learn this the hard way.

Placed on 'Nightmare mode' and being reincarnated as monsters, they are forced to survive under incomprehensible conditions.

However it is only through suffering, that we grow as people.

And it is only through suffering, that we truly become monsters.

"Nightmare mode.... eh? Tell me, what exactly was this mode supposed to mean again? Were our lives supposed to become nightmares?"

Without suffering, there is no change in anything.

"Or were we supposed to become the nightmares?"

This is the story of the antiheroes. <<less

Everyone is merely a result of their circumstances, but circumstances vary with infinite variation. Among the infinite variants, there exist some who are designed simply to cause pain and suffering. This is a story about one of those variants.... more>>

A human, no, to call them a human would be wrong. With a mind so far detached from humanity that they should be considered no more than a reckless force of chaos and the uncontrollable urge to prey on the weak, calling it a monster is a more accurate description.

So that's what this is, the perspective of life from a monster trapped in human skin.

I, the wholly happy-go-lucky character, go through life on an alternate Earth with some "minor" differences. Yes indeedy do! I promise an absolutely joyous time!... more>>

I tell no lies.

What minor differences you ask? Well, here's some advice. Don't drink that lava in a bottle, or you'll spend a night of fiery passion extra happy! Then you'll spend another night happy again after you grab another. And then you'll buy another. And another. And another. And then... no more!

And be careful who you kiss. Romance the love of your life and you may just end up as a very angry furry one bright night. After that, you'll probably wake up to breakfast in bed though!

And finally... you'll probably be fine... I doubt you've got problems... but just in case! I want to make sure you have the best experience here. Just follow Peter Pan's instructions: "Think happy thoughts!"

If you want to know more, just come enter the world!

All you need is to go read my story, you silly!

And don't worry, nothing bad happens to me! I swear on Scout's honor it's true!

Oh wait... that phrase doesn't work anymore since the year that Señor Screaming Fingers turned both Scouts groups to... art.

“I'm cold and hungry.” ... more>>

That single thought of hers ignited the beginning. The beginning of what, you ask? Haha, how innocent.

She was great— No, no, no, that was an insult to the utter majesty she possesses. She is perfection itself; academics, beauty, ability, she had them. Yet perfection has problems in and of itself; not even she can escape the cruel irony of life. That's when things take an odd twist.

On a fateful day, she and her classmates transferred over to another world! A tale as old as time itself, no? It was the stereotypical setting; the king and his knights welcomed the bewildered heroes in a grand room. Unlike her companions, she was an exception— She was starving, furious, and observant. Who wouldn't be? But their objectives were clear; slay some form of a "Demon King". Somehow, whilst on her quest for knowledge, she obtains the privilege of obtaining power that causes the collapse of the relationship between her and the kingdom, leading to the chaotic aftermath of a disaster. A vendetta forms inside of her; one that would shake the world to its core ...

"How unsightly."

Who is she? What are these terms? Why is this happening? How will she squash the balance of power? Questions upon questions. Simply read to understand

What to expect;

> Hunger and thirst for the flesh and blood of the innocent (Light-hearted 'eating' scenes.)

> The isekai's main character not taking the 'i'm going to become an adventurer!' route (seriously, what's up with isekais and adventurer mc's?)

> A fantasy world which is basically a cut-out of Europe but with more fantasy

> Working in the fantasy version of Germany (totally not because i'm German)

> Many unanswered questions and cliff-hangers

>Gore

I'm an university student with little hope or true ambition. Out of the blue, a message appears in my vision, words that follow my eye movements. They read "English language display test". That night a vivid dream drags me into a white room with orders written on a wall. I'm teleported away. The dream seems too real. The violent events have me returning in that white room with 'points'. Going through the infinite list of exchangeable rewards, I find things I wouldn't be able to imagine even if I wanted to.
The following week, the white room appears again. This time the reward I buy is magical, and back in the real world, covered in wounds, it still works.
But the white room won't stop appearing.
And now my life is neither ordinary nor so peaceful.
Godspeed.

______________________________________________
2024 Note: I've fixed inconsistencies, rephrased and fixed grammar on chapters 1 to 24. I didn't change events. I'm now using *[word]* instead of **** for partially unknown languages (I'm sorry, I changed my mind and I agree it was annoying!). I've added portraits and landscapes within the chapters, a total of 36 images in 24 chapters! This will hopefully give a premium reading experience. Images are not very accurate to the text due to my lack of technical skills, they're eye candy! Tell me what you think!
Q: What about new chapters? Why have you been lazy?
A: Chapter 25 is almost done. I don't have a backlog... I wasn't feeling it and was busy with stuffs and then I was lazy... Sigh, this happens too often in this space, I agree and I'm part of the problem, though if readers tried writing they would understand. At least it's not like I only wrote two or three chapters before quitting, my story's word count is like an entire book's worth.
Q: How much content is planned?
A: My design documents suggests that with 25 big chapters, I've gone through a twentieth of the planned content. If I rush through lots of stuff, then I guess I've gone through at most 20% of the total content. Even now, I feel like my design documents are good (not that they're that detailed, it is just a few thousand words long to guide the story). Some twists were planned very early on, enabling me to give certain clues to the reader.
Q: Will we ever see this story end then?
A: Nah, unless a billionaire is a huge fan. I wish things were easier, but writing is jarring and long work. It can easily take 40 times longer to write than read. <<less
