Feral Confessions - Adrianna And The Alpha - Chapter 516: A Shadow

A thousand-year dynasty would inevitably face decay, and a hundred-year noble family would eventually return to dust.What in this world could last forever?Was it an Immortal Body, tempered a thousand times, or the Martial Arts will, in Heart Unity with heaven and earth?Chen Mu came to this world, his sword in hand, and when he turned back at dusk, countless heroes and millennium-old Demons had all turned to dust, leaving only one person on the road paved with yellow sand.

He was Model 72 — a crash test dummy. A being of metal and sensors whose sole purpose was to break and to be repaired. Routine crashes, routine analysis, routine repairs. Until one day, something… went wrong. Or maybe right. Now, he wakes up in Telaria, a unique world of magic and monsters, and in a body that is, for all intents and purposes, terribly inefficient.Soft flesh. Brittle bones. And as if he weren't fragile enough already, it all came gift-wrapped with something new.Pain.Every jab, scratch, and burn is a revelation. And strangely... irritating.But Axel is no ordinary human. Hidden beneath his supposedly fragile exterior is a regenerative gift so powerful that each recovery doesn’t simply restore him to his former state.It adapts his body against the very damage it just endured.[Your hand has been impaled by Crystal-Blade Grass.][Host's [Pierce Resistance] has increased slightly.][All leg bones have been broken by the ground][Host's [Impact Resistance] has increased greatly : x6][Your face has been burnt by a Fireball.][Host's [Fire Resistance] has increased greatly: x2]He hates it. Every injury is just another reminder that his human body is flawed.And yet he knows...his body can learn. His body can evolve.So, Pain?Pain is a problem he intends to solve. And only then, would he truly be complete.“There will be no need for repairs. No need for pain. No need for regeneration.”“I will simply be unharmable.”The world believes SSS Rank Gifts are the ceiling. The End-All, Be-All.Well...The world hasn't met Axel.

Yuna, a 15 years old girl started playing the world’s first VRMMO. She has earned billions of yen in stocks. She confines herself in her house playing the game without going to school. Today, a huge update has arrived. She obtains a non-transferable rare bear outfit. But the equipment is so embarrassing that she can’t wear it even in the game. Furthermore, when she answers the survey regarding the new update and relaunches the game, she appears in unknown forest in a bear outfit. Where is this? Email from God? Different world? If she wears the bear outfit she’s a cheat, if she takes it off she’s a normal girl. Her adventure starts just like that. Yuna began doing as she liked.

Yet again, Earthlings were summoned.A dying Time God, already half-corrupted, descended upon Earth with nothing but a single, blinking eye. No body. No mercy. Before he could explain why the other world was collapsing—or what happened—he died.The chosen were cursed.Each Earthling aged from 12 to 60 was reincarnated into another world.Each was trapped in an isolated time loop.Each was abandoned without answers.Ganesh chose to reincarnate as the weakest race imaginable: a slime.Not for survival—but because the system offered him a trait, very powerful:Eternal Mastery [Mythic].With every death, his body reset.With every loop, his masteries, learned techniques, and pain carried over.He awakened in a slime farm, where slimes were bred like cattle, harvested for food, and burned alive for amusement. He learned quickly.He died quickly.Again.And again.And again.Across loops, Ganesh experimented with his own existence—Fire Slime {Uncommon}. Water Slime {Uncommon}. Acid Slime {Uncommon}.Elemental Slime {Rare+}. Spirit Slime {Legendary}.Dragon Slime {Mythic}.Even Primordial Slime {Divine}.But strength revealed truth.Humans had erased their own history using sealed artifacts.Demons were branded as betrayers.Gods fought unholy beings elsewhere—leaving their failures behind.Beneath ruined cities and sealed fortresses, eldritch creatures waited—Rituals granted power along with a curse.Artifacts erased wills.Faith was devoured before it could bloom.And the deeper Ganesh went, the clearer it became:The world had lost hope and was corrupted with Eldritch.Even the sun and moon were taken over by Eldritch.Now, as gods fall, timelines fracture, and ancient wars resurface, Ganesh must decide—Will he save the worldOr will he follow the same path…and become something unholy himself?Dark Fantasy • Time Loop • Eldritch Horror • Progression FantasyDaily UpdatesA dark progression fantasy with time loops and psychological erosion (for readers who enjoyed the despair and repetition of Re:Zero).No one 17 and under admitted is due to gore and dark... And an important note, something happens near the end of Arc 3, this is for those who feel limitless loops have no tension....because he can still loop—but every reset tears his soul apart.The truth behind this wound is revealed near the end of Arc Three. {Read it to find out}
