"We need to talk, " she said, following him out of the house and closing the door behind her. "I had enough time to spend with a dunderhead like you," she heard him say, and she fumed.

The MMORPG 'EVR' was released unexpectedly one day, along with its advanced equipment that allowed players to fully immerse themselves in the game, even though prior VR technology wasn't nearly as realistic. To prevent people from replacing their real lives with the game, the servers were shut down during the day and on weekends. I was the best at the game, but since I had no friends or family, I could only watch and bet on sports while waiting for the servers to reopen—until the day I died and regressed to a week before the game was released. I know everything that will happen in the game. I know the game is not just realistic; it's real. And for some reason, I don't need to log out! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a no-harem story (and probably no romance, either, but you never know). It starts off quickly after narrating unnecessary details, so I suggest reading at least a few chapters to get to the heart of the story.

The "Real Game" is this game, the world itself. There, shut-ins strive day in and day out without knowing why they are the target of attacks. The real reason might actually be the fact that there is an open competition in this world. A battle royal of some sort and shut-ins are the strongest players that can beat them. That is why this is a "Real Game Shut-in".

In a world fractured by social hierarchies, forbidden magic, and dangerous secrets, Hound, a tortured survivor and rebel against a corrupt system, finds himself at the crossroads of fate. Born in Rivermirror, a perilous city ruled by ruthless power plays, Hound has developed an uncanny ability: he dreams of the future. These visions are both his curse and his weapon, exposing him to relentless threats from those who seek to control or destroy him. _______________________________________________________________________ What if the worlds you built in your mind weren’t just an escape but a mirror reflecting your deepest fears, desires, and truths? This series is more than fiction—it's rooted in reality, inspired by the mind of a dreamer whose maladaptive daydreaming blurs the line between fantasy and truth. Based on real experiences, it explores how vivid inner worlds become both sanctuary and prison, offering readers an intimate glimpse into a struggle rarely spoken about. In the early chapters, the dreamer’s fractured psyche takes center stage, as their imagined realms intertwine with their waking life. Each chapter unravels complex characters and high-stakes conflicts born from their mind, yet eerily reflective of the dreamer’s own battles with morality, fear, and control. As the dreamer’s visions grow darker and harder to contain, the story builds toward a chilling realization: the fantasies we cling to for solace might demand a price we never anticipated. This series is a gripping exploration of imagination’s power to shape reality, reminding readers that the most profound stories are often the ones we live ourselves.

The revelation sent a chill down the spines of the spy squad, as they realized that they were dealing with a far more sinister force than they had initially anticipated.

Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives. Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction. One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door. And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.
