Within a limited but efficient space, construct a suffocating atmosphere of terror; design a gradually escalating and fast-paced horror event; create an isolated protagonist that readers can empathize with; create a source of terror that defies perception and is full of unknown threats; and leave a sufficiently cold and unsettling aftertaste after the climax.
[Native NPC Awakening + Online Game Another World + No Romance + Slow-burn, Not a Thrilling Novel]
Transmigrating into a game world? No.
My name is Karl, and I am the only blacksmith NPC in the starting village of "Anno" who has awakened self-awareness.
I am not a time traveler, nor do I have a system.
When I am no longer a loop of data, I will feel tired, confused, and I will ask the starry sky above me—who am I?
From analyzing a piece of iron ingot to understanding this continent, I am like a newborn baby, learning to become "existent".
When the bell rang to signal the end of Season 0, everything returned to zero. But I, this mistake that should never have existed, escaped with all my memories into the real continent of Aethera, which was about to welcome tens of thousands of "players".
They call me an NPC, and see me as a tool and background.
But I know that, like them, I am searching for my own answers in this world.
This is a journey that begins in ignorance and ends in self-discovery.
I will use my forged hands to personally carve an undeniable proof of my existence.
The world will eventually respond: Karl came, lived, and became himself.

Easy version
Killing someone is easy, but making someone die a painful death is a bit difficult. After all, one still needs to think. Looking at the gruesome deaths of the people, Chen Xiaoyu, feeling a surge of satisfaction from revenge, looked up and met the eyes of a certain boy who was her white moonlight.
OMG, this scene is like stepping in dog poop. Can the world be destroyed first?
After accepting the invitation of her beloved mentor, a yakuza girl, she entered a vocational college and met a group of friends. Her heart was touched, and a happy life was about to begin. However, after witnessing a series of bizarre operations in the world of sorcery, the icy girl, who thought she had a "good" temper, finally couldn't help but explode.
This world of sorcery...
Deep Version
The girl, clutching a dirty fox doll, walked through the ruins of the world, enveloped by a dark and twisted malice.
It doesn't matter anymore, let it all be destroyed, none of this has anything to do with her.
Vibrant lives wither, and dark buildings collapse.
In the ruins, she saw a blurry face laughing wildly, which looked just like a beautiful rose.
"Rose" saw her too, and the moment "she" turned around, the girl's gaze froze, and time seemed to stand still.
It was a face exactly like hers.
At that moment, "she" reached out her hand to her and lazily greeted her.
"Hello, my other self. Do you need my help?"
As their fingertips touched, the pitch-black world began to collapse. In the moment their souls merged, the girl saw a new "self" being reborn in the blood.

Suguo Nai released her stress and went to sleep as usual, but when she woke up, she found herself transported into an 18+ game she had played before.
The gameplay involves controlling the female protagonist to mow down enemies and defeat bosses, then collecting CG clips of her defeats. Those who know, know.
Good news! Sugona is the female lead's best friend. In fact, the female lead's first main storyline involves risking her life to search for her across the campus.
The bad news is that when the female protagonist finds Suguonai in the story, she has already turned into a zombie and becomes the first boss in the battle—the female protagonist even has three different defeat cutscenes here.
…
"Zombies are everywhere... No, I have to hide. This is the path the female lead must take. I have to protect myself and cling to her coattails!"
The plot is about to begin. Sugona, feeling utterly useless and knowing that running around would only lead to her death, locks the door.
However… why did that wretched zombie virus infect her right at the start of the game?!
…
Soon after, Lin Qingxian looked at Su Guonai, who was infected with the virus, and felt extremely sad.
"Wabibabu, aba aba." (Tired, let's destroy it.)
Sugona was utterly despondent. While she was still conscious, she collapsed to the ground, waiting to die.
However, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the female lead and the plot are somewhat different...
"Hey, Kana-senpai, it's okay. Just sit there quietly, and even if all your teeth are knocked out, you can stay by my side..."
After her initial grief, Lin Qingxian revealed a terrifying smile.
Upon hearing this, Sugona froze, her not-so-flexible red pupils trembling wildly.
Is this fake? Don't come any closer!
[The author has completed 28 articles, adding one chapter daily at 6 PM. Drafts are available.] Arthur Rimbaud was born in France in the late 19th century. He loved poetry from a young age, joined the Paris Commune at sixteen, had a romantic relationship at seventeen, and broke up at nineteen, living a free and resolute life. His adventurous life was short-lived, as he accidentally fell into the sea and arrived in the 21st century. Rimbaud quickly accepted his place as a famous poet and wanderer in history, embarking on a new round of global travel. At a comic convention in Japan, due to his physical resemblance to the paper figure, he cosplayed the blond, blue-eyed Verlaine from "Bungo Stray Dogs." He arrived in the Bungo Stray Dog world in a white suit and suddenly developed gravity powers. Could this be a case of traveling back in time and becoming an assassin? To save himself, Rimbaud sought out Lantang, who had lost his memory due to a scheme by his former self, hoping to clear his name and have his wanted warrant lifted. But—I'm not Verlaine? Lantang's partner, is that you? Verlaine, you're my gene donor? My brother? The blond Rimbaud facepalmed. #Because I cosplayed Verlaine, I had to use my ex-boyfriend's name##After traveling through time, I actually have a younger brother! #★Based on three-dimensional historical facts, this is the main story. ★Rimbaud is known as "the unruly wind" and even "half a life of fire, half a life of seawater." While there will be a romance in this story, the ultimate ending is Rimbaud alone, with no real CP. ★Rimbaud thought he had traveled through time as the untamed Verlaine, but in fact, he was the real clone. ★This is a short story, expected to be around 200,000 words.</p>
The nation's destiny is about to arrive
Chen Qi, who possesses the Ye Luoli system, Zhu Zhuqing from the Martial Soul World, and Qilin Xiaoge are chosen to represent the Dragon Kingdom in the national destiny.
Everyone was deeply disappointed upon seeing the contestants from the Dragon Kingdom.
"How do we play if we select these three people?"
"A boy with facial paralysis and two girls, what a bizarre combination?"

One night later, a real-world counterpart appeared for the two-dimensional character?
Ever since clicking an option in the game, Ms. Xilian, who shares the same name as the game character, has had her daily life become a little strange.
My usually naive deskmate, March 7th, sometimes becomes unusually aloof.
My cousin, who moved here, is filled with gravity...
World-class superstar Eden gave up his career simply to befriend her.
Why would a pink-haired girl from Japan want to team up with her in a band?
Looking at her increasingly chaotic daily life, Xi Lian looked troubled.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? I'm really not Xi Lian (Alicia)!"
He was transported to an island nation, gaining an intimacy panel. He started by marrying a popular voice actress—buy one, get one free! Seeing his home had somehow become a gathering place for popular female voice actresses, Mogami Kazuto sighed silently. He asked a certain female voice actress who was tentatively taking a small sip of her carbonated drink, only to cough and shake her leg incessantly, "Sakura-san, what exactly is life?"
My name is Tiandao Xingyao. I thought that once I arrived in the world of Azure Archives, I could live a peaceful and happy life.

This novel will incorporate many elements, such as tokusatsu (special effects) content, fan-made content, and elements from other games… It's my first book, so it might not be very well written. I hope everyone will leave comments, and I will also consider your good ideas. Let's work together! ↖(^ω^)↗
Was this the punishment she reaped from reading too many picture books about elves in her past life? This time, she was completely immersed in becoming an elf... "So, I really can't stand you arrogant pointy-eared people." "Dear sister, don't say anymore, I understand." "I already told you, I'm really not your sister's reincarnation!" Tilisa was utterly dejected. (This author has a lot of filler content; please read at your own discretion...)
