Everything Stays Slowed

"Go away," Mae mumbles into her pillow fortress. "It's the weekend. Do something normal, like drown in the sink." "Wouldn't that be convenient for you?" Eli's voice carries an edge of warning. "Extremely," she agrees, still floating in that hazy space between dreams and reality. The shock of ice-cold water hitting her face has her shooting upright with a strangled gasp.

"Places to go, people to see." --- Mae finds herself in an arranged marriage with London's most intimidating CEO, Eli Parrish. What starts as a business arrangement with a five-year expiration date takes an unexpected turn when family drama and an unwanted visitor force them to confront their peculiar relationship.

A man who has chosen a different, slower path. Most active players who haven't given up on completing the game go to higher floors soon after they get unlocked, if not immediately. However, the main character realizes that there must be a reason each world is so large and detailed. There must be a reward for exploring a world, even if it has been cleared after defeating the main boss monster. And so, he decides to stay and do what he has always loved to do in video games, explore and discover. To embark on an epic adventure. Or maybe he was simply scared in the early stages of the game. This is a deadly game after all, one in which millions are trapped.

However, as his body disintegrates, he swears if given another chance, he will keep these cosmic horrors as mere dogs beneath his feet!. And to his surprise, he wakes up! It's 2024, sixteen years before the apocalypse. His family is still alive. Humanity is still ignorant of the chaos to come. And this time, Lin Ye refuses to be powerless. Armed with his knowledge of the future, an A.I. chip capable of limitless calculations, a mysterious space within his soul, and the fabled World Tree seed, he sets out to forge his own world, one that can grow endlessly by linking to others. With every hunter he connects to, his strength multiplies. As his world expands, so does his power. This time, he won’t just fight to survive, he will conquer, shatter the balance of power, and lead humanity beyond the apocalypse. But as he prepares to defy fate, the Outer Gods are already watching. The game has restarted. The rules have changed. And Lin Ye? He’s about to rewrite everything.
