Alternate Universe

“Death was mercy. The orb was not.” Bjorn never asked to be chosen—he only wanted to disappear. But when the broken, 21-year-old awakens in a prison shaped like a world and ruled by a faceless witch, he learns that even despair has a price. Here, pain is survival, sins divide the living, and mercy is the rarest lie of all. As Bjorn claws his way through a realm twisted by the seven deadly sins, he must decide whether to break… or to become something far worse. This story was born from nothing but a dream—no studio, no team, just a voice that refused to stay silent. If you’ve ever felt lost, unseen, or drowning in your own thoughts—this story is for you.

Stollen and Lyra were never meant to survive. After their ship is destroyed in deep space, the two astronauts crash onto a mysterious world called Hearth — a planet that is not what it seems. The inhabitants are tiny, the land is wrong, the sky is artificial, and giants like them have arrived here before… only to vanish without a trace. As they struggle to rebuild a ship and escape, they uncover a civilization divided by fear, faith, and hidden power. Seven continents. Seven elders. Ancient lies. Vanishing giants. And a secret buried deep inside the very structure of the world. Trapped between hostile empires, false gods, and a planet that behaves like a machine, Stollen and Lyra must choose: escape Hearth — or uncover the truth behind it. Because this world is not a planet. It is a system. And someone is controlling it.

After the disappointing first day of high school, Oscar fell into some weird cave. What he found in the cave changed his life forever. He discovered the mana!

Suddenly appearing in a different world, it looks like I got caught up in a Hero Summoning. And of course, I’m not the Hero, but it’s another guy……and while being very cautious and scared of the cliche-like development, I was thrown into the maelstrom of war……or not. The Demon Lord? It was defeated a thousand years ago. Hero? He’s just the main actor in a festival. Nobles? They’re kindly taking care of us. The Demon Race? They have good relationships with Humans. Wars? It’s already 800 years since the last one. Monsters? The Guild and Order of Knight are taking care of them. Return to Earth? It is eventually No-Risk. What I’m planning after being caught up into this? I’m gonna enjoy the life in a different world as much as I want to, go on a cultural exchange and sightseeing, and after experiencing the festival that is only held once every ten years……I shall go home safely. The other world was――at Peace. A kind world where the three races, the Demon Realm’s Demons, the God Realm’s Gods, the Human Realm’s Humans, they are kind neighbors to each other, with everyone living a peaceful and fulfilling life. But although I wished to peacefully spend a year before my return, for some reason, the heavyweights of this world keeps gathering around me....
