Aeternitas Mortalitatis: Futilitas Hominis

Sypnosis: A tormented narrator navigates a nightmarish metaphysical realm after losing his wife and child to war. Fleeing through the "Tormented Path" while his flesh literally peels away, he arrives at the Cathedral of Cosmos, where he encounters the Indomitable Magistrate, a terrifying divine entity with absolute power. The Magistrate mocks the narrator's suffering and presents him with weapons etched with mathematical equations, then resurrects his deceased wife as a reconstructed form. Under the Magistrate's psychological manipulation, the narrator's grief transforms into violent rage. He ritually flays his wife with the Bayesian Blade in what becomes the "Liturgy of the Flayed," a perverse sacrament where pain is elevated to transcendence. When the narrator attempts to attack the Magistrate in defiance, his effort proves futile. The Magistrate dismisses the violence as childish while cosmic bodies dance in chaos, establishing the narrator's transformation into the "Madman Prophet" who will build his own temple of torment. The story explores themes of powerlessness against divine cruelty, the corruption of love through trauma, and the transformation of suffering into a nihilistic theology where pain becomes the only truth in an indifferent universe devoid of salvation.

Arknights: I became an NPC in the online game

"Ark" or "Arknights" is a next-generation MMORPG that once reached a peak of 80 million online users worldwide. The game's setting is a world called Terra—not to be confused with "Holy Terra"—a vast and chaotic planet thirty times larger than Earth, filled with expansive lands and plagued by frequent natural disasters. The story follows Felix, a player who is unexpectedly transported back in time to the period before the game's official server launch. However, instead of returning as a player, he finds himself reincarnated as an NPC within the game. Now functioning with all the traits and systems of an NPC, Felix becomes a legendary figure among players. To them, he is: A mysterious merchant A dreamlike mentor An unattainable ideal for countless female players Within the world of Terra, Felix is more than just an NPC—he is seen as a spiritual guide, a false priest, a dreamer, a philosopher, a reformer, a philanthropist, a loner, a seeker, an explorer, and a pioneer. His motto: "Let the players enjoy the game—while I profit from every second they do." --- Quotes from notable figures in the game: Jesselton: “I could take two or three punches from Saria, but I wouldn’t dare take even one from Felix. Even if God ordered me to, I’d go to war with Him instead.” Arturia: “Felix’s presence makes me want to perform before him for three days and three nights, without rest.” Patriot: “Your ideals… they are reality.” MacArthur, a five-star American operator, once remarked: “All it takes is a single move from him, and he’ll dominate the entire Terra Daily hot search list. The moment I saw Felix on the battlefield, I knew—there was no turning back.”
