"I am the rigid mountain you won't be able to overcome. With my ability alone, none of you would stand a chance against me." - Shin Soru... more>>

The eccentric Shin Soru and not-so popular Mitsuha Reika were both students of Class 1-A at Itami High School. Strangers at first, their fates began to intertwine when both of them were mysteriously teleported to another world by a strange pillar of light.

Upon their arrival, they were welcomed by the harsh nature of this parallel world. The vast lands were filled with peculiar monsters, followed by a multitude of dangers and threats. However, both of them managed to survive thanks to Soru's mysterious power, which he already possessed before their arrival on the other world. This power he possessed was soon found out by Reika, whom she dubbed it as "Power-Shift" ability.

With Soru's ability and Reika's adaptability, they ventured into this new world together. Although their personalities didn't match well, they discovered places that seemed unreal, meet new people and friends, and awaken their innermost emotions which they thought won't happen. <<less

This is a 'science meets magic' type of story where the science aspect will eventually get wilder and more complex.
Expect at least two chapters per month.

Disclaimer: I am neither a physicist nor a biologist, so you might want to take everything with a grain of salt. There may be errors or even deliberate omissions to serve the plot, and I might take some liberties now and then.
It is best to consider that the magic system merely draws inspiration from science, like most works of science fiction.

Lastly, some chapters contain AI illustrations generated and edited by yours truly. I'd like to think they incrementally get better over time. <<less

However, everything changed when an enigmatic portal materialized above the North Atlantic, unveiling a realm referred to as "The Special Region." or as researchers jokingly call it a fantasy world.

To unravel the mysteries of the Special Region and comprehend its potential repercussions on our world. This revelation stirred a potent mix of enthusiasm and apprehension, as humanity grappled with the profound implications of this newfound frontier and its implications for our shared future.

Accompanied by a cadre of intrepid researchers and aided by two cutting-edge vessels, the Flying Dutchman and the Queen Anne's Revenge, Commander Decken pledged to safeguard his crew, even if it meant sailing into the unknown until the end of days. This is a tale of exploration, discovery, and the unyielding spirit of human endeavor, devoid of any science-fiction elements. <<less

Author's note:

In this story, I intend to integrate elements from shows I love-- gundam, modern sci-fi shows such as 'The Expanse', add strategic elements from shows such as legend of galactic heroes. These elements might be political intrigue, more technological development, robotics, cyberpunk, character development, rationality. Ultimately, I want the story to end up with a strong sense of hope despite the horrors of conflict. <<less

Author's note:

I've always been a fan of progression fantasy. However, I do feel disappointed by many of them, with too many characters that vanish into irrelevancy, sometimes arcs that are overly repetitive and a lack of characters ideals. In this story, I aim to instill more character ideals, motivations, and integrate said characters throughout the story, and ensure their interaction with the main character remain relevant to his heart. Perhaps, it's best to say I want the story to have a 'human spirit' that one could feel in old-school wuxia and action/adventure stories. <<less

I never thought I would get to watch the collapse of civilization in real time. Yet, here I am. One of the survivors of an apocalypse that no one quite understands. All we know is that something is in the water. Every river, lake, stream, ocean, sea, well, ditch, puddle. You name it. All of it has been infected by something. It was happening for months before solid rain fell from the sky. I don't mean snow or hail. I mean crystalized rain. ... more>>

It was the solid rain that sparked the changes. First were animals that mutated. Then it was humans. Governments tried to keep things quiet but word began to get out. Stories of people lighting things on fire with their minds. Of others crushing stones with their bare hands. But it wasn't just fancy powers that people got. Some became freakish monsters. Some even turned into cannibalistic zombie-like monstrosities. Me? I don't really know, all I know is I have somehow survived.

But I suppose, it just doesn't matter anymore.

As everyone's attention shifted to the clock, its hands inching towards 12, a sudden and unexpected darkness swept over the room. A strange, otherworldly voice echoed through the engulfing shadows, "This will be fun."... more>>

And in that moment, everything changed.

...

"Let's see, for you... what about a game of chess?" the skeleton proposed, its voice a strange blend of ageless wisdom and playful mischief.

...

"The world is filled with uncertainties and choices," the skeleton began, its voice echoing softly in the void. "They intertwine in a beautiful, complex way – not entirely random, but not predetermined either. You're not completely free, yet not entirely a prisoner. To simplify... or perhaps complicate things, I'm setting you humans in a game. A vast game, by your standards. The 'why' of this game is for you to uncover, as is its objective."

...

“You’ve pondered it, but the true scope of this Game is beyond your wildest imagination…” A brief pause punctuated its point, “You are simply too limited in your current state to grasp its magnitude,” it continued. “No matter what strategy you devise, what concept you conjure, or what combination you dream up, anything within the realm of human creation or conception, even with your stats boosted a thousandfold, will not even remotely approach the complexity of the Game.”

...

"Your efforts may finally prove beneficial, Alice," her mother continued, her tone shifting as she broached a subject heavy with implications. "We have received an offer of marriage on your behalf. Richard, the Count's second son, has shown interest."

...

In the quiet, she schemed, her influence extending unseen through whispered words and carefully planted ideas. Her musings occasionally ventured to whether it was sight that rendered others so blissfully unaware of the deeper currents of life, or if she, endowed with an extraordinary mind amidst her physical limitations, was an anomaly in a world too shallow to fathom her depths.

...

Maybe, just maybe, her times of boredom were over.

...

Did the fact he didn't fight on the front lines mean he was a coward? The reality was he really wished he could. How could he not crave the adrenaline of wielding superhuman strength, of shouting as he faced insurmountable odds? He wished he had magic, he wished he could level up and be respected by friends and foes alike. He wished for it a lot. Fuck, he wished he still had his other eye and his arm. But reality was cruel; he was dealt a bad hand and had to make the most of it. He made his choices, his sacrifices, for the best outcome.
