Scoops And Loops

The apocalypse is not the end — it is a game. And only the elect can play along. Every week, a few chosen ones are placed in a twisted mirror of reality — a world on the brink of annihilation. Here, players must survive a new cataclysmic disaster, armed with only one randomly selected ability. Ethan Cross never asked to be a player. But when he is drawn into the Apocalypse Game, his first draw changes everything: "the Eye of Death" - an SSS-ranked ability that shows him visions of his own death. While others fight blindly, Ethan outwits fate itself and replays his own demise until he finds the perfect path to victory. "Congratulations! You have overcome the disaster of [Puppet Kingdom] and obtained the [Severing Seven]: [The Severing Seven]!" "Congratulations! You've eliminated the threat of [Abyssal Horror] and received [S-Rank Ability: [Abyssal Horror]: [S-Rank Skill: Scales of Judgment]!" "Congratulations! You have shattered the paradox of [Time Reversal] and unlocked the [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Destruction]: [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Annihilation]!" Other players: "Bro, we’re still learning the rules, how can you clear dungeons already?" Apocalypse Control Bureau: "Mr. Cross, your survival is crucial to the future of humanity! STOP THROWING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!"

Alvis Silva was supposed to die. Instead, he’s trapped in an endless cycle of life and death—his very existence turned into a brutal game where every mistake means starting over. Born with a deadly curse, Alvis spent his 17 years counting down the days to his inevitable death. But before fate could take him, an assassin did. And yet… he wakes up hours before his murder—again and again. Each loop resets the world, yet his knowledge remains. With every attempt, Alvis refines his tactics, pushes his limits, and inches closer to unraveling the mystery of his curse. But escaping death is just the first level. To break free from the eternal cycle, he must master it. What to expect: - A Time Loop-Driven Story – The core focus is on resets, strategy, and adaptation. - Light LitRPG Features – While game mechanics exist, they’re not the main focus. - A Smart MC Who Grows – Alvis isn’t perfect. He learns, adapts, and evolves. - A World of Magic & Science – A multiracial society blending futuristic science with magic. - Character Depth & Emotional Stakes – More than just leveling up—this is a journey of survival, growth, and purpose. Two chapters a day for the first month!

Han Jiwon has died 999 times. Once from eating a poisonous herb. Once from touching a glowing relic that said "DO NOT TOUCH." And once—shamefully—from taking a nap inside a dungeon beast’s nostril. But Jiwon isn’t a hero. He’s not even a hunter. He’s the first awakened, doomed to relive the same 266 days before the Grand Merge—a cosmic event that will fuse 50 worlds, open dungeons, and release chaos across Earth. After failing 999 times, Jiwon gives up on saving the world. This time, in Loop #1000, he just wants to survive. And maybe cook a decent stew without dying. With his new passive class Cosmic Chef, a snarky spatula named Kevin, and the ability not to die once per day thanks to the skill Cosmic Conductor, Jiwon sets out to do the impossible: Open a restaurant in the middle of the apocalypse. But survival has never been that easy. From dungeon bosses with food allergies, to heroes who’d rather fight than eat, and interdimensional customers with odd cravings—Jiwon’s journey is just beginning.

He doesn’t have a name, a face, or a place in the story—except to guide others to their “happy endings.” For thousands of loops, he’s endured heartbreak, despair, and the crushing reset of the world every time something goes wrong. He’s memorized every line, every trigger, every rule: no deaths, no interference, no breaking the script. But Loop 1,204 feels different. The world isn’t punishing him for stepping off the path. Suddenly, he can change things—rewrite relationships, alter destinies, maybe even reclaim his own existence. But with freedom comes uncertainty, and the looming threat of the loop snapping shut once more. Can he finally break the cycle and find his own ending, or will the world reset around him one last, merciless time?

WSA 2025 Lucian Wrenford was just a medical student — tired, isolated, and quietly carrying the weight of a younger sister destined to die before adulthood. Life gave him no peace, only responsibility. Then one night, the world burned. As society collapsed into chaos, Lucian found himself face-to-face with a masked intruder. He protected his sister. He died. But that wasn’t the end. --- [“A lone broken man sacrificed himself to save his precious sister.”] [“A broken son sacrificed himself to save his precious sister.”] [“An unknown being sacrificed himself to save his precious sister.”] [LUCIAN WRENFORD HAS BEEN GRANTED THE DEATH LOOP SYSTEM.] --- True Synopsis: The Death Loop System lets Lucian die and return to a set checkpoint with full memory, but only a limited number of times per life. If he runs out of lives, he's sent into a new body in the past or future, starting a new timeline. Each loop changes the world. Kill someone in the past, and they're gone in future lives. Save someone wrongly, and reality fights back. The system doesn't give power—it gives second chances, and every one comes with a cost. --- ADDITIONAL TAGS: #deathloop #emotional #overpoweredthroughdeath #questbasedprogression #noplotarmor --- Discord: lightdeity_109

Don’t be serious. It’s just a fiction. All the characters are from my imagination. They don’t exist in the real life. Nah! Nope, they don’t. Trust me in this. So, there are themes in the story that might be disturbing. But let me tell you. I condone them and I suggest you to take it just as a fiction. No need to think over them. And if you find it very disturbing then, I request not to read the novel any further. Thank you.

The story follows the experiences of a protagonist who has a mental illness. Bored with the regularness of his life, he developed a never-ending thirst for pessimism. The protagonist finds relief by complaining and criticizing everything around him, including himself. After a psychotic episode, he encountered a strange man who led him into a new episode of life.

Somewhere in the depths of space… An object pulsed faintly, radiating light—yet at the same time, it seemed to absorb it. Its size was impossible to measure, as if its very existence defied the laws of reality. Anything that approached—asteroids, stars, even light itself—was consumed without a trace, disappearing into the void. If one were to observe closely, they would see the fabric of space twisting and distorting around it, yet somehow appearing stable—as if reality itself were an illusion.  Its rough, circular shape resembled what humans might call a black hole—though whether that truly defined its nature was a question beyond understanding. Its location? Fortunately for humankind, it was nowhere near the Milky Way galaxy. Suddenly, a streak of white and gold light erupted from the black hole's center, cutting through the darkness with blinding speed. It shot into the depths of space, with no sign of slowing or changing course. Its destination? Unknown.

The story introduces Yuto Arisaka, a quiet, introspective high school senior attending the Hanabira Summer Festival. He plans to confess his feelings to Aira Tsukishiro, his cheerful childhood friend. The setting is lively and colorful, filled with traditional Japanese festival elements—lanterns, food stalls, and fireworks. As Yuto spots Aira and contemplates confessing, a sudden and mysterious explosion occurs on the festival hill where fireworks were set to launch. Blue light bursts across the sky, chaos unfolds, and Yuto hears Aira shout for him to run before she is swallowed by the explosion. Moments later, Yuto wakes up in his bedroom, completely unharmed, with his alarm going off. It's Sunday, 7:00 AM—exactly one week before the explosion. The chapter ends with the realization that he’s been sent back in time. --- Themes and Purpose: Emotional Hook: The chapter builds tension with a relatable scenario (unspoken love), then shatters it with a sudden tragedy. Mystery & Intrigue: The supernatural twist (time reset) raises immediate questions. Character Setup: Yuto is established as thoughtful and hesitant, while Aira is lively and compassionate. Tone: Melancholy and suspenseful with a hint of romantic nostalgia, typical of anime-style time loop dramas.

A heartfelt romance unfolds between two souls: A young boy with a forgetful mind and a non-verbal girl he always forgets. +++ Gu Wei's lips hovered a breath above Zhai Mei's. The feel of her warm skin still tingling on his lips, and he noticed just how close they were. His arms were around Zhai Mei, unknowingly pulling her to him, her shoulders pressing into his. The sun was leaving the horizon, and the streetlight buzzed on with a soft hum, casting the two people wrapped around each other in warm light. In that moment, Gu Wei finally saw everything clearly. Zhai Mei's brown eyes locked into his, her lips parted slightly in a small O, the gloss glowing in the light, her noodled curls tumbling over her shoulder. The colour on her cheeks reddened at Gu Wei's stare, and she pressed her lips together briefly as if in preparation for something. His whole body thumping an unsteady rhythm in his chest. Gu Wei leaned even closer... *Title was originally 'Two Souls Bound In a Loop of Fate'* ( ˶˘ ³˘(˵ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°˵) ヘ(* 。* ヘ) This novel is inspired by the heartfelt novel/drama 'Hidden Love', drawing themes from its slow going plot and day by day tropes to bring out similar sentiments. Whether you watch c-drama's, k-drama's, or you're just here to take a look, welcome and enjoy. This is an extremely slice of life novel, and it might appear at a snails pace but it picks up along the way, and I'm also learning to not waste my readers time with pointless talk as I write.

For 300 years, Leon Harth — an immortal elf and master of ancient magic — has been reversing time to save the world from its destined destruction. With each failed timeline, the weight of memories, loss, and repeated sacrifice has chipped away at his spirit. Now, on what he swears will be his final loop, Leon makes a bold choice: He won’t be the hero this time. Instead, the role of world-saver falls to Leo, a clumsy but kind-hearted teen with no magical training — only an untapped gift for connecting with the Threads of Essence, the living fabric of their magical world. Together, they face unraveling fates, mysterious foes like the Whispering Shadow and the cryptic Puppetmaster, and the deepening mystery behind why the world always falls apart — no matter how many times it’s rewound. Filled with lighthearted moments, magical adventure, and the slow bond between a world-weary mentor and a reluctant hero, Timeworn Hero is a story about letting go of control, trusting others, and finally moving forward — even when the threads of fate seem broken beyond repair.

Even after a hundred thousand loops, Pace couldn’t save humanity. Not from the war. Not from the greed of six alien races tearing reality apart over scraps of power in a world of Magic, machines, and monsters—it all ended the same. Until now.

The power of impossibility, Pace must navigate this war protecting everyone he loves, because this is the last loop. The final chance, and for the first time in years he doesn’t get redos.

After all belief is power. [small bite sized lore drops about the world will be in the authors note section, these are not important for the plot but are provided for more immersion per say]

Pain was a friend that reminded me I could try again. The tapestry of fate is severed. The mind and will forged of steel begins to transform into an unknown material. Unbreakably solid.
