After achieving absolute peace and unity across the Central World, Rimuru Tempest finds himself bored in an era free of conflict. To bring back excitement and satisfy his curiosity, he works with Ciel to create a separate parallel dimension-Parallel Sector-Omega-an exact replica of the multiverse's history where he can observe and interact without affecting his original reality. Suppressing nearly all his divine power to appear as a powerful Demon Lord, Rimuru arrives at the very beginning of time, just as the Star King Dragon Veldanava is born. What starts as a simple observation quickly turns into playful chaos, beginning with a silly prank that confuses the creator of the world itself. As thousands of years pass, Rimuru waits for the right moment to step fully into the timeline, ready to meet legendary figures, alter history in unexpected ways, and enjoy a new adventure filled with mischief and discovery.

Great Elroe Labyrinth, a place said to be where monsters born and hunt. A dark forest filled with unending competition for very survival. For monsters, it is home and battlefield. For humans, it was path to the other side of the world or grave. And it remained like that unchanged. But deep in caves and tunnels of the largest dungeon, rose a soul that cannot move, cannot speak or hear in a way humans understood. The being that weaponises change itself and simply, slowly grows. For change comes slowly and quietly. And the world never notices until it is everywhere. Alright this fandom is kinda dyings, especially fanfic wise and this is my attempt at keeping it alive. All the art I used in the cover and potentially in future chapters belong to their respective creators. I do not own any of them (though there may be ones I drew) including the original story.

In 2038, Alterra Robotics discovers a portal to a world untouched by modern industry, rich with magic, ancient creatures, and civilizations that have never heard of a megacorporation. To conquer this untouched land and resources, they deployed hundreds of thousands of androids as they slowly entrenched themselves in the world's history, undoubtedly changing the trajectory of their future. Alongside them are android inspectors-human employee who are tasked to evaluate their robotic workforces. Kusunoki Sakuta, one of Alterra's top android inspectors, is reassigned to Vernheit: a European-inspired nation on the continent of Caelum, home to Eisen Blut, Alterra's oldest and most powerful subsidiary. His job is straightforward. Evaluate the androids. Assess their performance, their mental stability, their physical condition. File the report. Go home. Most inspectors do exactly that. But Sakuta treated them as more than walking humanoid constructs. It's a habit that's earned him a reputation-and, apparently, a reassignment to one of the most politically significant postings on the continent. Alongside his corporate duty, he will also learn that... ... Perhaps being transported to an alternate fantasy world isn't as easy as it sounds.

Almost everyone is dysfunctional in this story. So, it's drama with a dash of comedy and a sprinkle of gore. Ryouma lives with the Yamaguchi family. His dad is the deputy prime-minister of Tokyo, so he enjoys a pretty average popular-boy life until he gets betrayed by his best and only friend, Daichi. Mistreated by bullies, sick of life, Ryouma wishes to die. Instead, the ground opens up and swallows him whole like he committed a sin. Down there? Hell? No. It's a whole other world. The underworld. A world where different species reside, some living among humans in the human world. Ryouma's reality gets twisted with every minute spent with the creatures of the underworld. Ryouma finds that the Yamaguchis are actually his adopted family. And his real family was murdered by his psychotic elder sister. Not to mention, since his family, the royal family, is gone, Ryouma is the heir to the throne. His elder sister is out for his head and he is tasked with defeating a world - wide conspiracy, beating her, and securing the throne for himself. Lest his sister turns the underworld, his true home, into her personal playground. Problem is, he's a coward and egoist by default. Ryouma doesn't even want the throne; just a peaceful life with his dysfunctional family. Surrounded by weird brothers, hot-headed sisters and a creepy father, all adoptive, Ryouma is forced to play the 'good king'.

The night shouldn't have been that bright. When moonlight spills through the trees like silver water during the summer solstice, the forest behind my house becomes a place where stories aren't just stories... They're warnings. I shouldn't have gone in. I shouldn't have crossed the door that only opens once a year. Now, I'm trapped in a realm where trees have faces, lights are alive, and names carry a weight that can crush you. Guided by a dangerous, unreadable stranger whose eyes hold a recognition I can't explain, I must survive a night where the shadows are hungry and the illusions offer everything I've ever wanted, at the cost of my very existence. In a world that has already begun to claim me, I'm discovering that I'm not just lost but I'm something this place has been waiting for.
