Edward Smith never asked for adventure. He worked, paid rent, and tried to keep his girlfriend happy - even if she hated how much time he spent grinding through Zenless Zone Zero, the one place he felt alive.
But one night, a storm changes everything. A simple trip to the beach ends in chaos, and when Edward wakes... it's not in his own world. It's in the hollow shattered desert scape of the OuterRing. A place that should only exist on his phone screen.
The faces he once saw as characters now breathe, laugh, and bleed. The game's Hollows are no longer colorful arenas but endless, shifting mazes of danger. And when he catches sight of his reflection - fox ears, a tail, strange glowing eyes - he realizes he's become something else: a Thiren.
Now, Edward must navigate this distorted reality, caught between what he knows and what feels real.
Can he find a way home? Or will he choose to stay in the world he once dreamed of - even if it means losing everything he was?

Unknown Horizons
Second Contact: War of the Deep Valley The war for survival was only the beginning. Months after the crash of the Ardent Dawn, Commander Mizuno Kaede and her surviving crew have built a fragile foothold on the uncharted planet known as Zion - a world eerily similar to Earth, yet filled with ancient secrets buried beneath its emerald skies. When contact is made - not with rescue ships, but with a new alien civilization - everything changes. The species that emerges from the Deep Valley of Ocean Bay are not the mindless predators the squad expected. They are the Ael'thari - a long-lived, tribal people whose lifespans stretch across centuries. Their warriors fight with precision older than human memory; their seers speak in voices that seem to echo through time itself. At first, Mizuno seeks peace. But peace comes at a cost. A human scouting team vanishes near the valley. Diplomatic envoys return in silence. Then the skies burn - tracer fire over the ocean, flames reflected in the waves - and the Second Contact War begins. Now Mizuno stands at the center of a conflict neither side truly understands. Her orders are clear: secure Zion, eliminate threats, ensure human survival. But as the war deepens, she uncovers truths that defy her command and challenge her loyalty. The Ael'thari are not fighting for conquest - they're fighting for memory, for the right to exist against a species that cannot comprehend time the way they do. With her Shadow Squad fractured, alliances shifting, and her own command questioned, Mizuno must choose between following Earth's protocol - or following her conscience. Because on Zion, survival is not about who wins the war... ...it's about who remembers it first.
Hollowed Out
The red soul from Deltarune/Undertale ends up in Zenless Zone Zero at the beginning of the game. Fluff. Angst. Body horror. Everything Good awesome and great mixed with everything Sad Unhappy and anything bad. No seriously it gets horrific There are depictions of gore and genuine disgusting bits of Imagery in here. You have been warned. ARE WE CONNECTED? (Yes, my story-telling is hot cross buns. Yes, I make it up as I go a bit. Yes, this is heat.)
A World Unlike Our Own (Zenless Zone Zero x Malereader)
it was merely a game. that was how it began. that's all it was, just a game that got immensely popular. Zenless Zone Zero. (Y/n) heard of it, he played it. he enjoyed it. The combat was fun, and admittedly, the women were...well, they were good. but that just doesn't explain this now, does it? because last time he checked, he did not live inside Zenless Zone Zero. although his current situation says otherwise.
