-----[WSA 2025 ENTRY]----- I was sixteen when the gods abandoned me. The Blessing Ritual was supposed to grant me power, a divine gift to carve my future. Instead, I received nothing. No abilities. No hope. Just another nameless soul left to rot in a world ruled by strength. Fine. If the gods wouldn’t bless me, I’d make my own power. For ten years, I clawed my way forward, experimenting with forces no human should touch. I pushed too far—and it killed me. Then I woke up. Sixteen again. Back at the Ritual. But this time, something changed. Time bends at my will. Blood moves when I command it. The gods still won’t acknowledge me, but it doesn’t matter. This world isn’t fair, and I’ve stopped playing by its rules. Faith and Chaos clash in my veins, and I will use them both. They wanted a Chosen Hero, someone to dance to their tune. Well, too bad for them—I’ll carve my own fate.

Every human was infused with a power called Primis, the essence of strength and evolution.* It allowed them to gain abilities, level up, and carve out a future in this dangerous world. But the native creatures could smell it. They could taste it. To them, humans were nothing more than walking resources—flesh and blood filled with power waiting to be devoured. Then came the voice: "You have entered the Genesis Game. Your class has been assigned." Some were given the roles of Warriors, Mages, and Tamers. Some were granted rare classes like Shadow Dancer or Beastbound Knight. And then… there was you. You weren’t given a normal class. You weren’t given a choice. Your title burned into existence in glowing red text: [Class: Cannibal Lich King] Warning: The romance in this novel there will be straight/gay and more it's not really relevant its just a sub plot. The main protagonist is not a straight white male it's in the synopsis.

Organica-Mechanus: Devil in a shell. Ōganika = mekanasu: Kara o kabutta akuma. オーガニカ＝メカナス：殻を被った悪魔。 In the year 2086, the dwindling remnants of humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin find themselves locked in a tumultuous conflict against an unknown race codenamed the 'Discarnum,' that has completely ravaged the continents of Arema, Elionios, Dwui and Besettia, leaving only the untouched peninsula of Uretia as the final bastion of hope. Humanity, elves, dwarves, and beastkin find themselves locked in a tumultuous conflict against an unknown force codenamed the 'Discarnum,' that has completely ravaged the continents of Arema, Elionios, Dwui and Besettia, leaving only the untouched peninsula of Uretia as the final bastion of hope behind its thick walls, shields, and advanced defence systems. The Discarnum, devouring everything and anyone they come in contact with, including the land itself, left a desolation in their wake; cities and capitals of melted stone, warped steel, and charred bones now inherit the forbidden lands, where only a thick miasma of death and all that remains are monsters beyond the veil, leaving no room for life to grow. Aware of the impending doom, the greatest minds of all four nations formed the 'Coalition' in 2086, where the four became one and spearheaded the development of a new weapon system. With man's ingenuity, elven knowledge, dwarven craftsmanship, and the beastkin's spirit, they forged suits of living mechanised armour. Born from the labour of near extinction and desperation, the 'Organica-Mechanus' was created, and with it a dark, terrifying secret that had been buried. Governed and wielded only by the strongest and most iron-willed of the four races, weapons of immense power forged ahead, cutting into the darkness, giving the coalition a much-needed foothold in a one-sided war to push back against the Discarnum and gain ground for the first time in ten years.  Three years have passed; there was hope for light to thrive in 2089, but within that hope, shadows of the past would emerge. Beyond the reclaimed zone, a new horror would awaken; in that silence of death and despair, three words would shake the very core of the coalition: "WE ARE COMING..." In the fear of the end, something would be awoken, a sin beyond sins, a monster of monsters, a devil of devils...  "I have become the creator of demons, the destroyer of angels. I pray that one day they can forgive me, for I cannot forgive myself... for I am the one that has cracked the Devil in a Shell and set it free." Yaiku Ui -:Creator of the Organicus Interface.

[The good chapters start from chapter eight onwards, and each chapter improves.] In a world where weakness has no place and conventional truths crumble before the unknown, Zhang Yu emerges—not as a prodigy, not as a chosen heir, and not as a disciple of some legendary master. Just an ordinary young man, caught in events far beyond his comprehension—events that will push him past his limits and force him to confront truths he was never prepared to face. He never sought power, yet power found him. He never chased after secrets, yet they unfolded before him. And as he walks a path with no return, the transformations begin—slowly at first, then with a speed beyond reckoning. What defines a person’s fate? Is it sheer will? Or something far deeper—something no one before him has ever grasped? In a world where the boundaries between the possible and the impossible blur, between reality and illusion, there will be no easy answers. Only a path—one shrouded in mystery, revelation, and something yet to be named…

Ren, a typical high schooler, decides to take an alternate route home from school. Little did he know that this choice would lead him to his death...or did he? He's tasked with saving a world from it's demise by the hands of the Demon King. Sounds like a story full of adventure, right? However, a man naturally attracts a harem in this world due to it's declining population. And with relationships comes responsibilities. And that's just the tip of the iceberg as adjusting to a new world is not as simple as stories make it out to be. In addition, knowing that his actions can possibly cost the populace their lives leads to immense pressure on his shoulders. This is just some of what awaits the protagonist in just part 1 of this of this multipart and multiversal storyline. There are things moving on a much grander scale, and everything must be balanced, including his abnormal existence. Equilibrium is...inevitable. -comments- I had a few goals for writing this story, but this will come to light way down the line (probably in several years). I decided to go in the opposite direction from plots of similar stories. That's why I'll get most of the romance out of the way in the first 2 parts (loose plan). The rest of the parts will focus on world building and battles. If you think the protagonist is overpowered at the start...you have no idea. -the picture is AI generated and not an accurate reflection of the story. -I am a fulltime worker who writes irregularly and slowly (physical typing speed). I write when I can and will post once monthly. -nudity is depicted, but it is not of the 'ecchi' genre (hate panty shots and needless fan service that doesn't add to character development). -Intercourse happens but is not detailed. -this is a war stricken world, so unsavory things happen. Please keep that in mind for things unsaid but implied. I try to keep things as lighthearted as possible while trying to keep it as realistic as possible. -I wrote this as if watching it in my head, which influenced the writing style. Also, when reading novels, if there are multiple characters, I sometimes find it hard to distinguish who's talking as I can see multiple characters saying what was written. I decided to always make it clear who's talking, so it turned into a book/script/anime hybrid. -any feedback, including typos, are much appreciated. Upload Schedule: 1st of every month (wish I had time to do it more frequently, but alas, responsibilities. I am not writing to become an author, but only for myself and my own mental health. If the opportunity presented itself, sure, why not? However, I can't justify the risks for pursuing something I don't have an absolute diehard passion for. I have immense respect for those who can pursue it and overcoming the obstacles. I sincerely apologise to anyone reading it in its early days and wishes for more confident. I only thought of stories for myself for many years, but I found myself forgetting parts of my stories. That's why I decided to write them down and record them online, leaving a piece of me out there for hopefully eternity. My goal is not short-term, but very long-term. I just hope that someday, long after I'm gone, someone will read my work and they were happy that they had done so. Just the thought of that makes me content. I hope you understand that I would only upload more frequently and pursue a career in this if my work profoundly resonated with people, so much so that it basically forced me to be an author.
