Gaming Developer

Year 3026. Seven years after the collapse of civilization, the world has become a wasteland of hunger, fear, and chaos. Everyone is dragged into a twisted death game. Here law and order are dead, and survival is the only rule left. To win, one must kill. To live, one must be clever. For the quiet and underestimated main character, survival becomes a brutal game of strategy.

Ken Shimizu had always lived a quiet life. He wasn’t a genius or a failure—just a regular guy with a decent job in an indie game studio, an obsession with ramen, and a library of half-finished Steam games. At 32, he could code, write basic dialogue, and pixel art his way through most things. Nothing spectacular. But he loved games—not just playing them, but imagining what they could be. Then, he died. Not in a blaze of glory. Not even in a tragic accident. Just a poorly timed heart attack while stress-testing a buggy horror VR build at 3 a.m. He blinked. And opened his eyes to a new world.

[Horror Game Developer : My games really aren't that scary!] I hate horror. From the skittering sounds of footsteps racing behind me, to the soft yet unnervingly cold whispers curling around my ears... All of it. I hate it. So much so that I start puking whenever I reach a certain threshold. And yet, I am a Horror Game Developer. A crappy one at that. So, given my lack of ability, I decided to quit. And yet... [Congratulations, you've been selected for the Horror Game Developer System!] Nope, I don't want it. Let me quit. ※ Note : Your world might experience some changes. But don't worry! It's part of the game! *** This is a story about a game developer who hates horror, but has no choice but to develop games scary enough to traumatize people. You want to curse me for making you piss your pants? If that's the case, who do I curse? *** An SCP inspired story with its own twist!

Before time knew seconds, and before light ever touched the surface of the cosmos, this world was once ruled. Not by man. Not by god. But by the Demon Emperor—a primordial being born from ruin, who breathed suffering as his very air. In his hands, a thousand civilizations perished. In his footsteps, the earth burned and the sky wept. The Demon Emperor was undefeatable. Undying. Heartless. Yet even immortality carries a deadly poison: boredom. At the peak of unmatched dominion, the demon gazed upon the empty heavens and found himself hollow. Eternity… was no blessing. It was a curse. “Thirteen Gods of Light… if you truly rule fate,” he whispered amid the final destruction, “come… and kill me.” There was no answer, only silence. Then… the sky split open.

James was a hustler who'd succeeded in retiring early, only for the pandemic to ruin all of his plans. He spent two years locked up inside playing video games and watching movies, only to be spiritually abducted just as the situation started improving. Now his name is Jin and he's a part of the Illusion Room Sect. A cultivation sect that creates scenarios for combat-focused cultivators to hone their skills. In other words, fully immersive video games. Will the gaming knowledge of his past life help him succeed in such a cut-throat world? Will he manage to break his two-year pandemic induced dry-spell? And most importantly, will he ever manage to surpass the rank of cannon fodder?

Lin Mo traveled through time. But the fantasy land of swords and magic in front of him was far from as beautiful as described in the story. There were no magnificent heroic epics, nor were there charming foreign beauties throwing themselves at him. Everything had to start from the edge of food and clothing. "The so-called adventurer lives by adventure, dies by adventure, and writes his own insignificant little chapter in the baptism of blood and fire." ... "I understand what you said, so what about the next commission? Tell me where the remaining monsters are hiding. Without monsters, how can I brush my proficiency?" From [Slacking] to [Escape], from [Slash] to [Unparalleled Sword Dance], from [Fireball] to [Scorching Meteor] As long as you keep grinding your proficiency, your skills will continue to evolve and gain points at the same time. Lin Mo said that one day, he will grind through the entire continent and become a god!

"Destroy this world; let it become your playground of chaos." With the rich ignoring the poor, the strong bullying the weak, ethical warfare, and countries turning into warzones, Earth was definitely in need of a hero. Aiden Hood was given a chance to become that hero—to rewrite Earth, to prepare them for the coming invasion, to cleanse the Earth of its inhabitants. Who knew a normal teenage high school kid could create such an apocalypse? Earth's number one most hunted apocalypse boss. ———— #Yes there's smut: I mean MC doesn't have those man stuffs for nothing. #Romance: not good at but there abit. #Oh yes, definitely gamelike mechanics and blood pumping fight scenes.

Death gave him a choice. He laughed. So she gave him a curse." Gin Chan had given up on life — betrayed, broken, and ready to disappear. But when he dies, he awakens in a realm where time stands still... and Death wears a silver smile. As punishment, he's thrust into a twisted game — forced to reincarnate into the bodies of people moments before their death. Thieves, soldiers, beggars, kings — each life, a new role. Each death, another lesson. But the rules are cruel: he feels every pain, remembers every end, and carries every scar. Armed only with previous lives' memories, Gin Chan must uncover the reason behind this torment. But the more lives he lives, the more he questions: Is he being punished… or prepared? And in the shadows, Death watches — waiting for the moment he finally understands what it means to live. --- Genres: Fantasy, Supernatural, Reincarnation, Psychologist

In the shadow-drenched underworld of a sprawling metropolis, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is death, The Don's Game unfolds like a symphony of silence. The city breathes through rain-slicked streets, neon reflections on shattered glass, and whispers in smoke-filled rooms. A lone figure walks the thin line between vengeance and oblivion, navigating a labyrinth of power, blood, and forgotten promises. From the dim glow of underground sanctuaries to the glittering façade of high society, every frame pulses with tension. Visually rich and emotionally charged, this story weaves together past and present through haunting imagery, flickering candlelight in abandoned chapels, the cold gleam of steel beneath tailored suits, and the quiet resolve in a man’s eyes as he steps into war. This is not just a tale of crime, it’s a visual poem of retribution, told without words, where every glance, every gesture, speaks volumes. The Don's Game is a journey through darkness, lit only by the fire of one man’s purpose.

Choose between life or death... A game that can affect your whole life. (Inspired by AIB) What will Happen In Here?

"A game where death is as simple as breathing in air, where blood is like water, psychopaths are normal people, hosted by the 'gods' isn't this gonna be fun!? Hehe, welcome to the game of the gods where luck is part of strength!!!" On this day, after the originator of the voice spoke, humanity.... would never be the same. ****** The cover will change as the story progresses.

But when betrayal and arrogance brought it all crashing down, death came not as an end, but a reset. Now he wakes in 2005, inside his younger body, gasping for breath and surrounded by the raw smell of wet earth and rebar. It’s the week his very first construction project failed—a project that marked the beginning of his slow, calculated rise and eventual fall. Armed with nothing but his memories, foresight, and the burn of regret, Mikhail begins again—not to chase wealth, but to build something that lasts. But the past refuses to lie still. Suspicious contractors, greedy landowners, and familiar faces from his old life stand in his way. And this time, he doesn’t have power or money—only blueprints, broken trust, and a second chance he refuses to waste. As he navigates dusty lots, skeptical allies, and brutal business truths, Mikhail must unlearn the arrogance that once defined him and prove—brick by brick—that empire isn’t about scale. It’s about integrity. The Reincarnated Developer: From Cement to Empire is a grounded, emotionally-driven story of second chances, industrial ambition, and the cost of building something real. There are no systems. No cheats. Just one man, his past mistakes, and the future he’s determined to rebuild.
