The story follows a brutal and calculating protagonist, Narcissus, as she embarks on a journey of survival and discovery within the strange and unforgiving VRMMO world of Fallen Carcosa Online—two months before the game’s official release. Armed with nothing but her wits, dexterity, and a simple stick, Narcissus must navigate a world filled with unknown horrors, where surviving even a single day is no small feat. During this crucial preparation period, Narcissus learns first-hand that the world of Carcosa is anything but ordinary. The game world is teeming with monstrous creatures of unknown origins, Faustian entities offering dangerous bargains, and god-like beings of chaos capable of altering reality itself—if certain dark criteria are met. These horrors, lurking especially during the night of the Ordeal, make every move a life-or-death decision. But survival isn’t the only theme of this story. Narcissus herself carries a multitude of untold secrets, and the narrative delves deep into her psyche, offering a rich, introspective exploration of her character. The psychological depth of Narcissus is what makes her a truly multi-dimensional protagonist, one whose complexity enhances the tension and intrigue of the story. That said, the story isn’t all doom and gloom. There’s a surprising amount of fluff and humour woven into the narrative, with hilarious interactions and lighter moments that provide a welcome contrast to the overarching horror and tension. The balance between suspense and levity makes the story engaging and multifaceted, keeping me on my toes while also offering a lot of moments of relief.

Fun fact: High Noon (which is when the sun is at its highest) is not always at 12 pm and can vary.

This black-sun firmly stood at the highest angle above as if the time had only chirped at 12 o'clock, yet the hue of the sky came out more yellowish and jaded, as if an apocalypse had passed by.

My guy "Influenza" catching strays in a random book about incomprehensible horrors--

I coughed terribly like someone with influenza, trying to clear the pathway between my lungs and respiratory.

I gave zero shit about unfathomable knowledge and wisdom, all I wanted in life was to purge these eyes of mine so that I could see any imperfection no more!

Direct quote from the man himself.

We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

This kind of dialogue does remind me a lot of Shadows Over Loathing kind of gimmick in terms of outlandish speech and words. Compounding nouns and adjectives together under the pretense of the human mind trying to translate certain words from the unfathomable abyss.

"You might feel an enhidden amount of puzzulary on why you receive an apocaclysm—you might have wondered why you are cursed with such a cacophocordant~!"

The fact that it feels more like watching a man with a common substance addiction relapse instead of first-degree murders gives it a unique feel. It's less "Oh this is horrific!!" (which is how a normal person would react) and more "Ah, damn it..."||| Helps that I can feel this strange sense of shame from it.

    Mortuus Mundo (Hololive EN Fanfiction)

    Anime & Comics ANIME

    Over the graze of a dead phoenix, humanity began to fall apart. Immortals who have lost their immortality, mortals who are losing their lives over the turmoil, and death reaping through every person that perished in it. Until there were none of them left. Humanity has gone extinct. As lesser gods die out and vanish into nothing, as nature reclaimed the tragedy, as the chaotic wilderness began to roam free, a cloaked silhouette wanders the planet. An unknowing vessel who has died and rebirthed himself, red blood that soaked his white cloak would wipe off every time the fire restarted. He will complete the cycle that the grim reapers had halted, whether it may be by himself or with other unlikely faces. "Sicut est in mundo, ignis erit." "Aeternus mundus, vita aeterna. Tecum vel sine te." -- Disclaimer! The lovely art that I have stolen belongs to the artist and if said artist would want me to take it down, I will respectfully do so! --

    Soul Usurpation

    Fantasy ACTION ROMANCE ADVENTURE R18 COMEDY DARK OVERPOWERED TRANSMIGRATION TRAGEDY ISEKAI

    “Don’t close thine eyes, or thee might find thyself in a garden of darkness. For the devil is a master of lies and deceit.” The Hero of Hope has slain the Demon Lord. The nightmare is dead, peace and prosperity begat to the lands as he was hailed as king to the now claimed castle. An aftermath yet to be clean, lingering thoughts to be rested, and a curse waiting to be finished. In the beginnings of hope, the Demon Lord foresight the threat opposing him. In an attempt to remove it, the fiend laid a trap, a bomb waiting to be detonated. It never exploded, to his dismay, not until the Demon Lord had long since perished and his blood washed away from his very throne. That bomb was a curse beyond the world. The hero’s soul was righteous and powerful, so the Demon Lord aimed directly for it. Switch it with another person, who knows not of how to save, who was a coward and easily disposed of. A person who doesn’t even know the laws of the world. Forced transmigration. It was unknown why it never fully took effect until one peculiar moment. When that festering curse finally took over the hero, and the soul of a woman planted within the hero suddenly gained control. She was afraid, she was confused, and she ran away from the castle. The meek soul wishes to go home. She was not forthright, she was not cunning, she was not the hero. But she still wanted to exist. Was that not a fair thing to ask? -- The book cover respectfully stolen is respectfully made by a great artist. If said artist wishes me to take the picture down, then I shall oblige. --

    Spirits for Masks

    Fantasy ACTION ADVENTURE

    A samurai values honour more than their life. A human values the compassion they carry, humanity. A monster is many, both selfish and ruthless in pursuit of goals. Ogawa is all of the above. An oni who has relinquished fists for a sword ripped from the hands of ronins and samurai alike by extorting them to dueling with her, all in the name of finding the swordsman who has spared her for unknown reasons. In a world where people abandon their selves with masks carved from the souls of spirits, Ogawa is no less different. "This is not a path vengeance. It's a path of enlightenment, a trial by will and the final test is the man who allowed me to live." -- The art respectfully stolen is by Koyorin on Danbooru
