Is Armored Core Fun

Ren Akihara lives a quiet life with his family in the suburbs of Shizuoka, Japan. At school, he’s just another student. At home, he’s the younger brother who always smiles and listens. No one notices anything strange. No one ever asks too much. And that’s exactly how Ren wants it. Because behind his calm eyes lies something no one was meant to find— a remnant from a place the world has erased. There are no records. No files. No memories anyone can trace. Just a name whispered in silence. Core 06. And a boy who learned how to survive by pretending to be normal.

When Earth fell to monsters in 2020, humanity awakened to the System — granting them magic, skills, and powerful classes. But not him. He received no weapon. No armor. No spells. Only a system command: [If you fight, you fight bare.] [If they fight you, they fight fair.] Every level is a grind. Every fight is bloody. But every step forward strips power from the fake kings of magic and gods of light. He cannot wear armor. But no one else can either. In his presence, all damage is true — and all lies are burned away in melee. [He who bleeds last, rules first.] [Primal Tyrant Path — Online.]

In a world transformed by the rise of Coreborn—humans awakened by ancient relics of power—Jaemin is an anomaly. Weak, overlooked, and barely scraping by to support his family, he’s thrust into a Rift no trainee should survive. But when his demise finds him, so does something older. Something forgotten. A Core that defies all known rules. With the world watching and whispers growing, Jaemin finds himself caught between myth and reality, hunted by truths that could unravel the very fabric of power.

This book is also known as: "How Programmers Turn a Crappy Game into a Timeless Classic with a Single BUG" Recently, the president of Nitiandang, Gu Fan, once again fell from grace due to a minor bug in his new game. As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit! So, players once again launched a major debate over "whether this is actually a bug or a game mechanic." In response to this, Gu Fan clarified in an interview with all seriousness: "Hello everyone, I'm the game designer Gu Fan, but you can also call me by my English name: fan·gu (means rebel). "I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"

A forgotten impact. An ordinary life. And a presence not quite... human. Something lingers. Some truths don’t roar… They wait. A quiet transfer to a foreign branch—just a career step. Until the hum beneath reality begins to stir. An echo out of place. He didn’t come here for her… But she echoed something he lost. Not every anomaly is a glitch. Some are invitations. She thought she was just passing through. He shouldn’t exist— Not in this time. Not in this world. An unexpected moment. A spark in a written fate. Something ancient is waking in her orbit, Threading itself into her life. And the choice it brings isn’t loud— It’s quiet. Heavy. Unavoidable. A forgotten system... Once powered by something no longer understood. Emotion as technology. And she was never meant to run on logic alone.

Starfire: The top assassin feared by all and with a side hobby as an anonymous hacker who no one knew about- not even the organisation she worked for. Who would have thought she was the short, always-smiling, blonde girl that seemed to have no care in life and was always just looking for fun? And yes, if you are wondering "was?" That's because she died. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- [So yes, you are dead. I am a system who helped you and now you will be going from world to world to complete quests and-] The system was cut off from its listings as Starfire laughed. "Really?~ That sounds like a lot of fun. I accept!" She said with a grin that took the system aback. [But I didn't even...] "Mhm?" She rose a brow and the system just went silent, deciding to sulk in its mind instead. {She didn't even allow me to tell her the reward she gets after...} If it could, it would have gone to a dark corner in the space to crouch there and sulk. {I couldn't even brag about myself and how powerful I am to bring her from the dead...} ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join Starfire as she journeys on... just for fun. Oh right, I almost forgot! The "Head" is also trying to get her to attain something and a mysterious person appeared who might be her friend or foe, amused by her behaviour. Be prepared for a dash of humor, action, world-hopping, mystery, and well... fun! Trigger warning: I shouldn't have to say this but there will be mentions of death and dark humor here as is expected in transmigration/reincarnation stories. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is my original story and should not be copied. The pictures aren't mine. - Tennyliz.

Synopsis: Incubus: The Core That Spoke In the shattered remnants of Zone 9—a world where reality itself trembles under the weight of decay—17-year-old scavenger Ravian Kael stumbles upon an artifact unlike any other: a dark, pulsating core known as Incubus Alpha. This sentient relic doesn't merely exist; it speaks directly to him through his very soul, whispering ancient commands that hint at a legacy older than time. With a single touch, Ravian is thrust into an otherworldly realm where time freezes and his mind is flooded with apocalyptic visions of an alternate self—a version of him both destroyer and creator, destined to reboot a collapsing reality. Haunted by this cosmic revelation, Ravian faces an impossible choice: surrender to the overwhelming power of an interdimensional system that could transform him into an agent of universal rebirth—or cling to the fading warmth of his human existence, anchored by the tender memory of his adoptive sister, Novi. As the ruins around him echo with forgotten secrets and the thin line between creation and obliteration blurs, every shattered piece of his world becomes a harbinger of a future that defies mortal understanding. Incubus: The Core That Spoke captivates with its irresistible merging of sci-fi, dark fantasy, and psychological intrigue. It drags you into a universe where a single decision reverberates across dimensions, leaving fate perpetually suspended on the edge of annihilation and renewal. This is not an ending but the opening salvo of an epic saga—an invitation to explore a paradox where humanity, ancient cosmic orders, and infinite possibility collide in a breathtaking dance of destiny. Perfect for readers hungry for stories that challenge the very fabric of existence, this tale hooks you from the first heartbeat and leaves you questioning: What if the call to transform could also mean the sacrifice of all that you hold dear? #IncubusAlpha #CosmicRebirth #RealityCollapse #PsychologicalSciFi #CoreThatSpoke #InterdimensionalSystem #LostHumanity #DarkLegacy #FragmentedWorld #FateOrOblivion
