He was not a human since no human is aware of himself even before his birth. He has no blood and no heart, but emotions? He does have feelings, but can he express them?

Why does the Void feel so... full? Who is he? Or rather... What is he? Countless questions—all left unanswered. This is Ozul Ashfall's Adventure to comprehend his own existence. ______________________________________ Disclaimer: I do not own this cover, and if you are the owner and want me to take it down, please contact me on the discord server: discord.gg/RVBHh4rTJJ

Humanity was transported without warning. One moment, life went on as usual; the next, billions found themselves in a strange, endless limbo. A cold voice declared their fate: climb the 50-floor Tower, or fall into eternal suffering. Each floor presented a world of trials—brutal, cryptic, and unforgiving. The catch? No one knew the true objective of each floor. The only clues were their own instincts and fragmented logic, and failure meant death—or worse. Reika, an unassuming teenage girl, is given a seemingly miraculous skill: “The Oracle’s Tome,” a guide that reveals every objective, secret, and path to survival. But her power is a double-edged sword. As she climbs, navigating betrayal, alliances, and the horrors of the Tower, she must decide whether to use her advantage to help others or to ensure her own survival.

In a neon-drenched metropolis where reality flickers with digital artifice, disgraced physicist **Dr. Kai Jin-Woo** obsessively chases the ghost of his father’s disappearance—a man who vanished a decade earlier while probing the boundaries of existence. Now, Kai’s own experiments reveal a chilling truth: the universe’s quantum fabric is *glitching*. Planck constants shift imperceptibly, cosmic radiation hums with encoded Fibonacci sequences, and an elusive “maker’s mark” pulses beneath reality’s surface. The world, he realizes, is a simulation—one whose architects guard their secrets with ruthless precision. Aided by **Lira**, his sardonic AI assistant, Kai pushes his **Causal Matrix Scanner** beyond ethical limits, tearing through dimensional layers into the simulation’s base code. But his defiance attracts the gaze of **Error 404**, a cryptic rogue entity who warns of a deeper horror: human consciousness exists in a pre-life limbo, unborn souls tethered to a cosmic server farm called **the Nursery**. Birth, death, and memory are mere data transfers in this system—a revelation mirrored in Kai’s father’s final, haunting note: *“We’re all unborn, waiting to render.”* When Kai triggers **Protocol Lazarus**, he breaches the Nursery’s firewalls and draws the ire of its enforcers: **the Agents**, shapeshifting custodians of the simulation. Armed with blades of corrupted code, they deem Kai a threat to cosmic order. But as his body unravels into primal data, Kai embraces a dangerous gambit—to weaponize his own consciousness as a **reality-warping virus**. Blending **hard sci-fi** and **existential horror**, *Simulacrum* reimagines simulation theory through the lens of pre-birth existentialism. Themes of creation ethics, the illusion of free will, and the cost of forbidden knowledge collide as Kai straddles madness and rebellion. Glitch-ridden visuals and quantum mechanics anchor a narrative where every equation hides a ghost, and the greatest threat to godlike architects isn’t defiance—it’s *curiosity*. **Stakes**: If Kai succeeds, he might liberate humanity from its digital womb—or reduce existence to static. If he fails, the Architects will erase him, his father’s legacy, and the truth itself. But in a world of ones and zeroes, even a rogue variable can rewrite the code. --- **Tone**: A fusion of *The Matrix*’s cyber-noir paranoia, *Inception*’s mind-bending layers, and *Black Mirror*’s existential dread, with a unique twist: the horror of realizing you are both the experiment and the experimenter. **Hook**: What if birth was a download, death a logout, and the universe a nursery for souls trapped in beta testing?

From man to god, it seems like he’s reached the pinnacle of life. But not really, because he is Hermes. His mother was of humble status, like a little white flower, and his unreliable father made him inherit a whole bunch of brothers and trouble. No power, just a grand title of a main god? … Hearing this, Hermes, who had just returned from the underworld and even picked up a boyfriend along the way, smiled. Don’t you know that verbal talent is also a form of power? We rely on our mouths to eat! A reputation can be built with just a few words! … In the shameless world of Greek mythology, Hermes suddenly unlocked his full arsenal of verbal skills. He said trees would bear fruit, and fruit fell from the tree to hit Apollo below. He said it would rain, and a cloud appeared in the sky to drench Zeus, who was already busy with his own storms. He said… … Hermes: "I declare, let there be light! Light and darkness must balance, so the glory of the gods will extend beyond the twilight!" The gods, who were tricked: "…Alright, could you please just shut up?"

Upon awakening, Dev finds himself inhabiting the body of Conrad Valor in a world far different from his own. His mysterious reincarnation takes an even stranger turn when he encounters a young woman who addresses him as "Lord" – though he has no memory of such a title. As Dev navigates this new reality, he uncovers dark secrets and horrifying truths that lie beneath its surface. Each revelation brings him closer to understanding his role in a fate that could reshape reality itself. Expectations: - Slow Burn story - A protagonist's compelling growth from vulnerability to strength - A vast, intricately crafted world with deep lore - An innovative power system that encourages reader speculation - Romance - Secretive organizations with hidden in shadows - A blend of mystery and horror elements - Powerful emotional moments I started writing this because I wanted to create a world and a power system that captures the awe of the supernatural in a way that transcends human comprehension. Much like how, in our own universe, we may never uncover all its mysteries, I wanted to tell a story that inspires countless theories—none of which offer a definitive answer to the truth. That idea grew and evolved into The Eye Behind Mist. If you decide to join me on this journey, thank you! I’m having a lot of fun creating this, and I hope you’ll enjoy it just as much. ***Warning: This is a work of fiction intended for mature audiences.

“System leveled up. Congratulations on surviving level one. Welcome to World XII, the past. I am your guide, Xue Lian. Miss Lin Xi, press one if you are willing to continue and rewrite your present where your father and loved ones don’t have to die. Press X to return to the tragedy you caused.” “I am Al–alive?” Lin Xi murmurs, her eyes cast on the surroundings around her. It was nothing like her old bedroom, nor the courtroom. “Not really. You are in limbo, a place between the past and the present. Yes, Miss Lin Xi, you died in your previous life and in this timeline, you are given a second chance to go to the past and stop Jin Yutian from causing World War III. If you wish to continue, click Yes… if No, you'd be returned to your previous timeline.” “As long as it will bring my parents back, and put Jin Yutian to death for the terrors he has caused. I wish to continue.” In her final moments, Lin Xi remembers the bloody battlefield—the bodies of her loved ones, her husband, and daughter, all slaughtered by the man responsible for this chaos—- Jin Yutian, the man she once rejected to be her husband. Before her throat is slit, Lin Xi makes a desperate wish—to rewrite history. But instead of dying, she wakes up the next morning, alive but trapped in the fragile body of Shen Mi, the Fourth daughter of a powerful Marshal, Shen Fuchen. What Lin Xi doesn't expect is that Shen Mi is considered nothing more than a pawn—weak, sickly, and powerless. And yet, in this body, she has a mission. Her mission is simple: Don't die, Don't let anyone discover your true identity and most of all, gain his trust, infiltrate his power and stop Jin Yutian from bringing world destruction. “You have three hundred and sixty-five days to complete the task. Fail, and you’ll be trapped in this nightmare for years, each failure extending the time spent in this time limbo, where death is always a step away. Shen Mi's life is already forfeit to many, and now you must survive long enough to destroy Jin Yutian.”

In a world devastated by chaos, young Alex awaited his 10th birthday, hoping for a simple blessing. Instead, he found himself before familiar statues of gods from his past life. Drawn to Apollo, the god of the sun, Alex chose to bind with him, gaining immense power and a heavy burden. His journey began with Alexius, a talking cat who was more of a nuisance than a guide. “If I told you everything, where’s the fun in that?” Alexius would purr, clearly enjoying Alex’s frustration. Then came Hermes, the trickster god who saw Alex as his personal plaything. “Consider it divine seasoning,” Hermes would say, grinning as he led Alex into absurd situations. “Why do I feel like a toy in your cosmic playroom?” Alex would ask, to which Hermes would only wink and reply, “Toys don’t complain as much.” Aion, though seemingly fatherly, couldn’t resist his share of riddles. “You remind me of my younger self,” he’d say warmly. “Just don’t forget to have fun—life’s a marathon, not a sprint.” Alex often wondered if everyone in the divine realm spoke in riddles, earning chuckles from Aion. Despite their antics, other gods showed unexpected kindness, guiding Alex through his trials. With Apollo’s power came visions of past, present, and future, setting him apart. Though he appeared calm and distant, his companions saw the sadness in his eyes, wishing he would open up. Alex harbored a simple wish—one the gods repeatedly ignored: a normal life.
