Phantasm Asmr

Caught in the Villainess Crossfire: My Totally Not Heroic Isekai Life

After spending over 1000 hours playing Eternal Phantasm Requiem, Fujimoto Haruto knew everything about the game. He knew Alicia von Edelweiss, the heroine. He knew the monsters. He knew the plot. And he was perfectly content being her best friend, her sidekick, and one of her party members. He wasn’t the hero, and he didn’t want to be. Alicia was the one out there saving the world while Haruto stayed in the background, helping with minor tasks and occasional support. It was a sweet deal. Then, Haruto got Isekai’d into the game world. And now? He’s still the same useless sidekick with zero heroic ability, but with one new absurd skill—he somehow keeps triggering romance flags with every villainess he meets. These villainesses are all nuts, by the way. Some want him dead, some want him married, and some want both at the same time. Meanwhile, Alicia is out there, saving the world, looking perfect, while Haruto is dodging poisoned love letters and trying to survive romantic death traps. And that’s when it hit me. I wasn’t just the sidekick anymore. I was the sidekick who somehow got romanced by every villainess in the game. Why? I don’t know. What was supposed to be a quiet, background role has turned into a nonstop disaster. Alicia, the actual heroine, is off doing all the heavy lifting, saving the world, while I’m left with a harem of murderous women who think I am their “true love.” How do I survive this? How do I deal with a life where my only job seems to be dodging love potions and poison daggers? Can Haruto escape the villainess crossfire without accidentally marrying one of them to his doom? Or will he be the first-ever sidekick to get romanced into oblivion?

Stellarum

A phantasm of a metaphor made real, an allegory based upon principles of the dynamics of ontology itself. It leaves behind a barely-real whisper to mark its path. There’s about a million different creation mythos that we can go into, so I'll keep this one simple. Once before a time, there was a long unending quiet. I will not get into the specifics—just know that this quiet was inevitable. It prefigured all and it is what all will come back to in due time. And please, always remember: this is an allegory. *Ahem* anyway: eventually, a whisper, a euphony came into existence. Whether the whisper was the long quiet itself or something else that came out of it is irrelevant currently. Either way, that whisper moved across that unending quiet and ‘pointed’ to a section. It said: "This section will be an infinite world that will extend into an infinite number of dimensions. This will be the physical world" “These infinite dimensions will harbor any and all; this is where the 'simple' will live." Then, it looked to the ‘right’ of the physical world and said: "This will be an ascended plane of existence, mirroring the physical world; this will be a world build upon conscience, objective truths/axioms, and beings beyond simple comprehension" This world resembles a tower. A tower with a beyond infinite amount of floors, each floor sharing its own axioms, and each subsequent floor unequivocally surpassing the previous. These floors will be like fluid, not set in stone. It is known that the whisper said SOMETHING to this beyond infinite tower, but the specifics is not recorded here. Finally, the whisper created a network of strings. These strings exist in ‘the weave’, they connect all living minds and concepts together. T=1 Then the whisper went quiet. For the quiet is all there can and will be. (Updates:) Honestly, it’s hard to say. I’m pretty busy right now since I’m in my senior year of high school. I’m also a perfectionist, so each chapter I write goes through extensive rewrites and edits (some more than others). All I can say is that a new chapter will come out every few weeks or so. Don’t expect this story to be 1,500 chapters, though. I’m not looking to write it over the course of 9 years at the pace I work.

Aren't VR games way too hard?

This wasn't my first VR game, but as always, I sucked. My favorite kind of ways to play was a meaty mage with high damage and favorably both high MP and HP regeneration. But while I tried to create this type of Avatar, l had no luck yet again. This game was way too hard! It was also almost impossible to level up like this and I died countless times. Also...I was basically an social inept and unble to perform well in a party or any other kind of group. I had too less talent to get stronger as fast as other players and the painfully low possibilities of my potential often sent me to the brink of my inner abyss. Still, I loved playing this game and kept on playing anyway. Until one day, my peace and serenity were broken by the undercurrents and remnants of political struggle in the city I resided. Forced to join the ruthless leader of the black market I had to let go of everything that hindered me to grow stronger. To find my oppressors who bullied, stole from me and made me wish to leave this game behind. On my way to revenge, my class was upgraded to a branch class of mage, - illusionist. Fit for my style of madness and an concealed weapon against my enemies. And this made me let loose of anything reining myself back. - "So, you said you were an illusionist. Do you already know what your class is able to do or shall I explain it to you?" The class instructor asked. "I can make weak hallucinations and cute phantasms." "..." he held the bridge of his nose. "You got to choose between scary and cute phantasms and chose cute? What the hell is wrong with you????" "te-he..." I tried to scratch my head cutely. "Don't te-he me, you imbecile!" he roared. "How the hell should I be your instructor when you can't even choose the basic skills that are suitable for fighting?!" "But the big wolf found the phantasm cute and was tamed." I smiled and showed him the hide of a deer I had placed in my inventory. "He even started hunting for me until I had enough and ran away." "..." The instructor was left speechless. Why did he have to babysit such a useless revenant? Couldn't he at least have someone with a bit more smartness? Why did he have to take care of this dorky mage?????? Update schedule: 1 - 2 Chapters every week
