| 𝟏𝟐𝐱 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 | An ex-gamer enters a virtual reality ruled by a rebel AI in order to rescue her younger sister and shut down the death game.
                                                                      * * *
Eight years ago, Mori Fukutomi held the rank of number two player in the tactical hero shooter game SniperX. But fate and her parents had other plans and Mori now works as an accountant with her dreams of being a pro gamer long since buried.

Games like SniperX are old relics in the face of virtual reality tech and their latest gem, Facing Fear--a simulation designed to analyze the psyche of its players and adapt itself accordingly, creating a safe terrain for players to take risks and discover themselves.

Until FEAR, the AI governing the virtual world of Valor, decides the thing humanity fears most is death.

Despite the rising death toll and Facing Fear closing its doors, when Mori discovers her sister Shiori is trapped in the game, she does the unthinkable. She goes in after her. But she'll soon discover they're not the only ones desperate to make it out alive and there are worse things in Valor than the monsters.

There's more to FEAR than fear itself.

Traversing Through Beastmen World by ElectraEmerose
25 parts Ongoing Mature
Bree was a modern girl reborn into the world of shifters, as a bunny. This was obviously a cruel joke since she had died in her previous life by being mauled. In this new world, females were few due to the warlike environment. The different clans would constantly fight over land and resources. Females were considered the most valuable resource. If females refused to find at least two mates by the time they matured, they would be sold. You didn't want to be sold. Sold females were considered property and would get a mark of slavery on them. Because females were so expensive, they were usually bought by whole communities to be shared by unmated males. The mark of slavery prevented them from contracting a mate and therefor accumulating power and territory. You needed to create a strong home by contracting with powerful shifters. After contracting, they would receive your mark and become your champion. They would fight for your honor, use their magic ability for your benefit, and provide for you. In return, you were expected to produce eggs. Males could be the leader of a clan, but a female could take over large territories by contracting the strong clan leaders. After expanding her territory, a female would be considered nobility. The stronger their champions, the better their resources and territory. Larger area's typically had one queen female and her court made up of nobility. Every double full moon, they would fight for the honor to have their female enter the queen's court. At the end of the queen's reign, she could choose a new queen from her court. In the midst of all this, Bree discovered her own magic power, 'Otome Gamer.' While Bree is trying to fulfill her quests, and an ultimate goal that would change everything, a frightening darkness is spreading, and shifters start to disappear. Along her journey, Bree makes friends and discovers that fated mates actually exist. Please don't copy or steal my story or ideas. Thanks 🥰

2024 was a year of innovation. One of the greatest things to come out of it was the technology of full-dive VR, as well as AR. It was also the year of a great disaster. Almost three hundred teenagers from all over Japan were captured, tortured, forced into a VR game, and, should they die in-game, killed in real life. Kaze "Zero" Shiro's sister was one of the many losses of this year-long tragedy. Most who were involved in the kidnappings have been put behind bars. However, this event has forever changed Kaze. Now, two years later, he still seeks revenge and some sort of closure for his dead sister. Will he find what he is searching for, or will his failures lead him down a darker path?
