Julius Marcellus was just an average guy—if you count a near-genius with zero social life and an obsession with hyper-immersive VR games as "average." When he straps into the latest full-dive gaming system to play Eclipse Conquest: Omega, he expects epic battles, loot, and maybe a leaderboard ranking. What he didn’t expect... was to never log out. A freak explosion in the real world fries the system—leaving Julius’s entire consciousness trapped inside the game. But this is no ordinary world. He awakens on Virelda, a planet so massive it dwarfs the Milky Way, located in a galaxy light-years beyond Earth. His mission: conquer the planet and prepare it for human colonization. Equipped with a mysterious injection designed to unlock a random ability based on his psyche, Julius receives a bizarre and unique power: Maiden Gacha—a supernatural roulette that lets him summon powerful, seductive maidens from across dimensions. Each maiden comes with extraordinary abilities, unique personalities, and a deep connection to Julius’s inner self. Now, with an army of otherworldly beauties, evolving kingdoms, and cosmic-level threats ahead, Julius must fight, lead, and outwit god-like entities across Virelda's continents—all while searching for a way back home. But the deeper he delves into this world’s secrets, the more he begins to question: Was this really a glitch… or destiny?

Cole Smith sat alone in his apartment. Relishing in his own sorrow. As he looked at the rankings of the MMO he had dedicated his entire life into playing. Although his entire life was only a sorrowful 23 years of age. It still meant a lot to him. He had spent 5 years playing the MMO ‘Arcadia’ a game built off the Arcadian engine, an incredible generation that formed an entire world through lines of code in mere weeks. And the world was manipulated as players advanced through it. Cole was a beta tester. Who had obtained a meek Paladin class. The Arcadian engine even had unique classes for every player. But Cole’s was probably the weakest in the game. Even as a tank. Yet he still fought. He made his way to the top ranks, even standing at number 1 for a time. Only to be struck down by a new age of battle mages, classes that were practically one man armies, who quickly flooded the ranks. Once the leaderboards changed, he wasn’t even in the top 10 anymore, and he received an email from the company that made Arcadia. Asking him if he wanted a second chance…only to wake up inside of the world of the game the next day.

But when he finally returns, he’s hit with a cruel truth: time moved on without him. His world is unrecognizable, broken by conflict and division. Worse yet? A prophesied invasion looms in the shadows. With diplomacy dead and hope in short supply, Iode makes a decision: If the world won’t unite on its own... he’ll force it to.

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges.

With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero.

But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?
