You know what’s unfair? For years, I dreamed about adventure—magic, monsters, heroes, all that good stuff. I imagined grand battles, epic quests, and worlds filled with mystery. And then the world actually decided to go full apocalypse. Did it give me a cool prophecy? A legendary weapon? A warning? An OP Skill? Nope. Just dumped me into chaos with nothing but my sharp wit and questionable survival instincts. Fine. I can play this game. Heck, I even got my own survival guide: Rule #1: Find a protagonist. Because let’s be honest, I am not main character material. Main characters are strong, serious, and burdened by fate. I, on the other hand, have spent my entire life dodging effort like it’s a contagious disease. Rule #2: If your protagonist has amnesia, you are screwed. Guess what? Mine does. The regressor, the guy who was supposed to have all the answers, keeps squinting at the apocalypse like it’s an old TV show he barely remembers. “This looks familiar…” Yes, genius, because we’re about to die in it! So now I have to think. Not normal thinking—fool’s logic. The kind of thinking that makes no sense but works anyway. And if that fails? I’ll talk my way out. Monsters? Negotiate. Villains? Trash-talk them until they cry. Death itself? Well, I’ll try to convince it that I’m not worth the effort. And if I die even then? At least I’ll go out proving that fools always find a way. ______ ___ _ [ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination.

“BEYOND THE STARS: PANGAEA SOCIETY” is a gripping blend of dark fantasy and science fiction that follows the journey of Caine, a once-mistreated prodigy who, after the collapse of his world, is transported into a reality he created for himself. Originally a player in the full-body VR game Beyond Reality, Caine becomes the ruler of Pangaea, a continent-sized land inhabited solely by monsters, where humans are forbidden. Having evolved from a powerless, betrayed figure in the real world, Caine now commands an empire of supernatural beings: the Sovereigns and Stars, god-like entities created to serve him and protect his realm. When the game suddenly shuts down, Caine finds himself inexplicably transported into the body of his character. His real-world body dies, but his soul survives, now bound to his monstrous kingdom in space. The world outside is destroyed, and Pangaea is left floating alone in the void, protected by a massive barrier and sustained by artificial light created by Metatron, the first angel. Unraveling the mystery behind the world’s destruction, Caine sets off on a quest to explore the stars and uncover the truth behind the devastation. As Caine and his Sovereigns, including the devil Lucifer, the titan Ymir, and the dragon Tiamat, work together to rebuild a new system of magic and technology, they begin to explore the vast, empty expanse of space.

The narrative weaves between Caine’s inner struggles with his god-like power and the vast, unfamiliar cosmos that lies ahead. Alongside his Sovereigns, he begins to encounter beings beyond his understanding, creatures and forces that defy logic, magic, and science. Each discovery, each encounter with otherworldly entities, raises more questions about the true nature of the universe and his place within it. In this tale of ambition, survival, and self-discovery, Caine must navigate the challenges of ruling a floating nation, managing relationships with powerful allies, and solving the mysteries of a shattered world.
