This Game Lives Up To The Hype

Living life in this new world was already hard enough.... So why? Why is the villainess of this world obsessed with me?

In a world where ancient rulers known as Archons once wielded unimaginable power, a legendary figure named Aeonith falls in battle, sacrificing everything to protect his realm from chaos. The gods, hungry for destruction, believed they had extinguished his light forever. But fate has a twist. Aeonith is resurrected as Zaryth, a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old boy from a prestigious family entwined with darkness. With only fragmented memories of his past life, Zaryth struggles to navigate his new reality, where he is seen as "good for nothing" due to his small mana core. As he grapples with his identity, Zaryth learns of a devastating secret: his twin sister, Ruby, a gifted magician with unmatched potential, has vanished. Driven by a desperate need to uncover the truth and reunite with her, Zaryth embarks on a perilous journey filled with cryptic clues and dark forces that lurk in the shadows. But the path is fraught with challenges. As Zaryth confronts the remnants of his former life, he discovers that unlocking the Archon within him may be the key to his survival—and the salvation of the world. With every step he takes, the boundaries between dreams and reality begin to blur, and Zaryth finds himself caught in a web of intrigue that could unravel the very fabric of existence. Can he rise to the occasion and embrace his destiny, or will the darkness that once sought to destroy him consume him once more? The answers lie hidden in the whispers of the past and the mysteries of the future, waiting to be unveiled.

It all started when the protagonist downloaded a game called "The Fool (Beta Version)," marking a pivotal shift in the style of his life. This was no ordinary game; it lacked visuals and music, composed solely of lines of text and a multitude of choices. Yet, each decision within the game had the power to alter the player's destiny, for on the other side of the game lay a real, unknown world. Players were unable to physically enter this otherworld or see its landscapes, experiencing the alternate realm solely through text, vicariously living each step of their character's journey. As the game progressed, not only could rewards from the game materialize in the real world, but creatures from the game began to appear in reality as well. Then came the day the game was released for global public testing. An era quietly unfolded, where the masses embarked on explorations and treasure hunts in an alternate universe through 'textual adventure,' heralding a new chapter of engagement and discovery.

There was a popular comic that captured the hearts of readers not because of its plot, but rather the bromance between the two protagonists, a crown prince and a duke. Their friendship & mutual trust led fans to ship them endlessly, with countless fanfiction stories ranging from dating to marriage or even incorporating omegaverse settings. One particular m-preg fanfic novel became extremely popular among fans, where the previously cold duke becomes pregnant. But the popularity of both the original comic and this novel caused everything to become unbalanced, until something strange happened - these works of fiction turn into real worlds that collided, creating an error that connected them together. In the world of the comic: Carlton from the fanfic world gazed up at his husband with longing eyes. "Husband..." He pouted, "Why don't you kiss me today?" Alaric from the comic world recoiled slightly and goosebumps broke out over his skin as he moved away. "Please don't come close to me..." He said tersely. Meanwhile, in another world: Alaric from the fanfic world, pulled his beloved Carlton into a warm embrace and peppered kisses on his cheeks. "Darling, are you mad at me?" Alaric asked affectionately. "It's okay, you're still cute." He leaned down to whisper into his ear before continuing. "But don't forget to comfort all our children, they think you're mad at them." Suddenly, seven children barged into the room and called out to their fathers. "Father, Daddy!" they exclaimed. Carlton's frozen expression spoke volumes about his state of mind as he tried to process what was happening. His murderous gaze fixed on Alaric as he muttered through gritted teeth. "Whose children do you say they are....?"
