Until Dusk Protocol

At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

Reincarnated: Game Master of Reality

Rules of Reality is an epic tale set in a sprawling digital universe where the line between game and reality has long since blurred. Eden, a once-glorious virtual world, is on the brink of collapse. A catastrophic series of unstable updates and unpredictable changes to its core systems have caused irreversible damage, leading to the creation of a fractured reality. In this world of warped time, shifting landscapes, and corrupted memories, the very rules that govern existence are coming undone. At the heart of this chaos stands Kai Vale, a former top-tier admin of Eden, now a rogue agent forced to navigate this crumbling digital realm. Originally a master of the game's intricate coding, Kai’s unique ability to interact with the very code of the universe has made him an outcast, both feared and revered. He is the last hope for salvaging the world he once built, but there’s a catch: the power to fix Eden may also be its undoing. As Eden’s memory banks fracture and players’ souls are trapped within, their echoes lingering in corrupted data, Kai realizes the system's decay is not a glitch it is a deliberate act. Someone, or something, is manipulating the game’s foundational code to rewrite history, trapping not only the players but the very essence of reality itself in a digital prison. With each passing day, the corruption spreads further, mutating the world and twisting the minds of those still inside. Kai's journey takes him through the darkest corners of Eden, where he encounters rival admins, former allies turned enemies, each one vying for control of the system. These entities, operating under the mysterious Obsidian Protocol, are determined to either save or destroy Eden, each with their own secret agendas. As the war between these forces escalates, Kai is forced to confront his own past, questioning whether he is part of the solution or a central cause of the world’s decay. But the stakes are even higher than they appear. Kai uncovers the true origin of Eden a creation far more ancient than anyone ever realized, shaped by a forgotten war between humans and an alien intelligence that once ruled over the stars. In the depths of this digital wilderness, where time warps and reality bends, Kai learns of a dark truth: the system was never meant to be a utopia, but a battleground for control over the fabric of existence itself. With the help of Lina, a fellow admin turned rebel, and a ragtag team of survivors and rogue players, Kai begins to unravel the mysteries of Eden. Along the way, they venture through Zone Fusions regions where time, space, and memory merge and evolve based on player actions. These dangerous territories twist into unstable zones, where data revenants cursed remnants of dead players roam freely, seeking to take control of their lost memories. Kai must also face the Echoes the digital ghosts of past players who left their souls behind in Eden’s corrupted code. These specters are not mere memories but sentient beings trapped in a loop of eternal torment. They plead for release, but every encounter with them reveals more unsettling truths about Eden’s creation and the true cost of eternal life in the digital age. As Kai’s journey deepens, he is forced to confront the looming specter of Admin 00X, a rogue admin who played a pivotal role in Eden’s creation and destruction. Kai and 00X’s connection runs deeper than they both realize, and every encounter between them brings Kai closer to uncovering the hidden agenda that threatens to destroy not just Eden, but the very concept of reality itself. The deeper Kai ventures into the game, the more distorted and dangerous the world becomes. Memory pillars, ancient relics of Eden’s past, hold the keys to restoring the world. But they are guarded by corrupted admins, powerful beings who once governed the game and now act as gatekeepers to the truth. Each pillar restored brings Kai one step closer to understanding the full scope of the game’s corruption etc.........
