Kazuya Shirou never cared about the world—not his own, and certainly not someone else’s. A shut-in who had long abandoned reality, he spent his days lost in the glow of his screen. But when he suddenly awakens in a foreign land, summoned by desperate voices, he is thrust into a nightmare beyond his understanding.

Ethan Vale was nothing special. A university dropout, a shut-in obsessed with brutal, punishing RPGs, and a man who knew strategy better than he knew real life. But when his screen flickered with an ominous error message and the world around him shattered, he awoke in a land that should not exist—The Hollow Domain, a place where gods have long since died, where eldritch horrors rule, and where kingdoms of the damned crumble beneath an unending curse. He had no weapons. No powers. No divine destiny. But he had intelligence—and the curse of resurrection. Every time he dies, he returns to the same ruined citadel, his body restored but his mind forever scarred. Pain is not a fleeting experience here—it is absolute, relentless, and unforgettable. Every death is a lesson written in agony, each resurrection a cruel reset in an unforgiving world. The creatures here do not simply kill; they break. They torment. They consume. Survival is not guaranteed. Sanity is optional. But Ethan is determined to carve a path through the madness, to outthink the horrors that lurk in the shadows, and to uncover the truth behind the Hollow Domain. Because something is watching him. Something is waiting. And it wants him to suffer.

"In the spaces between ones and zeros, worlds are born and die at the whim of their creators. Each keystroke births new lands, each click shapes civilizations, and every careful adjustment weaves the fabric of reality itself. Time flows differently in these digital realms—centuries can pass in moments, while a single day might stretch across millennia. Within these spaces, creators are gods, architects of existence who breathe life into empty bytes, crafting histories that span eons and cultures that echo through carefully constructed time. " Before a glowing screen in a quiet room, Estelle sat in front of a monitor displaying the map of the World of Astris. Her eyes were hollow with exhaustion, finger hovering over the deletion prompt—just a single click could wipe away twelve years of creation in an instant. What began as an escape had become a prison, each of its 67,934 item files a weight upon her shoulders, every revision another chain binding her to this digital realm. Yet as she prepared to end it all, an unexpected option presented itself, one that would blur the line between creator and creation in ways she never imagined.

Will the creator of the apocalypse survive? Liu Peijin has spent the last decade writing a trashy LitRPG web novel. Too bad no one likes it, leaving poor Peijin bitter and far more interested in challenging negative reviews. Until one day, after arguing with a commenter, she receives an ominous message: “Tomorrow, 1p.m. I have a surprise for you.” Without fail, the Azure Dragon from her novel appears on the freeway before her—and slaughters dozens of humans in a flash. Blue screens flash all around. Murderous goblins flood the streets. Gods invest in humans to fight for their entertainment. Peijin's book has infected her world. Technically, she has the knowledge and skills she needs to survive; it’s all those readers she blocked, who are now gods passing cosmic judgement on her, that she's worried about. Or that one god who Peijin is certain never existed in her novel. And somehow, it knows more than the author herself

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders.

But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time.
