Dystopian Edgerunners

A World That Loops Through Dead Civilizations The world is caught in an endless cycle. Every seven days, reality resets—merging with a different, ruined version of Earth. One week, the streets of Seoul are overrun by medieval demons. The next, they are swallowed by a dystopian nightmare where humanity never existed. Each reset wipes away memories, forcing survivors to start over in an ever-changing battlefield of dungeons, monsters, and forgotten civilizations. But Han Kyung-min remembers. Betrayed by those he trusted, left to die in the ashes of a fallen world, he awakens with a class deemed worthless—Soul Archivist, an E-rank, non-combat role meant only to record the dead. Yet death itself holds secrets, and within the echoes of the fallen, he finds something the system never intended. A hidden power. A forbidden path. A throne built on the bones of the forsaken. As the cycles grow deadlier and the truth behind the resets begins to unravel, Kyung-min must rise—not as a hero, but as the ruler of the undead. Survive. Adapt. Conquer. The world resets in seven days. This time, he will not be forgotten.

But the ruling authorities, terrified of what an unchecked body sorcerer might become, strictly regulate the art of body sorcery. They brand Ged a crime against nature, condemning him for daring to grow beyond mortal limits. Even worse, the world itself is a living, breathing tyrant, demanding repayment for every ounce of mass its inhabitants consume, punishing those who dare to grow. For Ged, that means a debt he can never repay, a sentence of eternal servitude for the crime of merely existing. What began as the dream of a bodybuilding enthusiast, an admiration for those who defied their physical limits, has twisted into an underground war against those who deny him the right to grow. He tried to be reasonable, but… Rebellion alone was not enough. Left with no other choice, only total annihilation would suffice. “They dare forge these chains to be unbreakable?!” “Watch as I break free from this enslavement and suffering!” “Reality is no longer fixable. I will tear it apart and replace it with myself!” What to Expect: ** Muscle is Magic – Power isn’t measured in mana or qi; it’s measured in kilograms. Expect brutal, cultivation-inspired workouts as the MC physically ascends from mere human to cosmic god. ** A Drug Lord Turned Reality-Shattering Anti-Hero – Ged is cunning, ruthless, and dangerously close to villainy. In a world of treacherous alliances and relentless enemies, expect dark humor, high-stakes action, and power plays. ** A Dystopian Sentient Planet That Enslaves Its Inhabitants – A unique setting where survival depends on body modification, brutal gang wars, underground cave explorations, and evading the iron grip of corrupt enforcers. ** A Fusion of Great Works – If Scarface, I Shall Seal the Heavens, and JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure had a mind-bending, reality-shattering love child this would be it. Ged isn’t just fighting to dismantle an oppressive system. He’s fighting to obliterate existence itself. Witness the rise of a body sorcerer who will grow so massive that he becomes reality itself!
