Summary
When Sonoko asked Shinichi to solve a riddle in a game she’s playing, he didn’t expect to be transported to a world where he can see people’s names above their heads, choose between dialogue options that randomly pop up, watch a person clad in white descend from the ceiling literally in slow motion, and… somehow fill up the heart that appeared atop the said person’s head?
Once you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. But he can’t seriously be in Sonoko’s stupid game… right?

Summary
The pain persists I can't resist-
...
what if Infinities song had more meaning than you first thought?
"open up your eyes"
"THIS IS AN ILLUSION"
basically, infinities telling Sonic that his reality is an illusion and to "wake up" in the song.
the thing that hurt me is that they never use this concept as an idea to tell A DEEP STORY SO I SHALL INSTEAD.
As now in this fanfic the song is CANNON!

Summary
Wriothesley hums, laying out on the grass with a stretch. “You’ve played other games right? I know this is your first time using the Akasha but the same principles still apply. Just go over and whack the boar a couple times.”
Heizou grumbles, a couple Inazuman words slipping out. While Wriothesley can hardly be called a linguist, he’s pretty sure at least some of those words were compliments on his teaching prowess.
“Same principle my ass.” Heizou says with a groan, warily watching the boar as he makes his way back over to Wriothesley. Heizou plops down with a grumble, his health bar already in the yellow as he glares at the boar lazily grazing on the grass. “This is not the same as whacking cows in Minecraft. Those cows don’t fight back.”
Wriothesley snorts, grabbing a random apple from his inventory and handing it to the other. “It’s not that hard when you figure it out.”
“It’d be a lot easier to figure out if I had an actual teacher.” Heizou says with a pointed glare, punctuating his dissatisfaction with a crunch of his apple.

Summary
When professional Minecraft streamer Akari Itsuka is mysteriously transported into a realistic version of the game world, she discovers that survival is far more difficult when zombies hunt in packs and crafting requires actual skill instead of button clicks. Armed with her analytical mind and gaming knowledge, she must adapt to a world where blocks are cubic but creatures are terrifyingly real.
As Akari struggles to survive, she discovers a hidden skill system and her unique "Ultimate Min-Maxer" ability that allows her to see optimization opportunities invisible to others. Taken in by a village of sophisticated NPCs with their own society and struggles, she begins to realize that this world is far more complex than the game she mastered.
With other players establishing factions across the land and monsters evolving in unexpected ways, Akari must balance her completionist gaming instincts with the reality that death here could be permanent. Can she level up her skills, form alliances, and uncover the mysteries of this world before the dangers consume her?

Summary
What started as a simple favor for a friend quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. Ruini has entered a game that seems impossible to win. With each quest she completes, with every return to its strange world, her memories begin to unravel—disappearing into a fog she can’t fight. The only promise keeping her going? The grand prize: full restoration of everything she's lost.
As the lines between game and reality begin to blur, Ruini realizes there’s no turning back. Her only option is to finish what she started. Along the way, she encounters others like her—players clinging to hope, chasing the impossible. Together, they form an unlikely alliance.
Among them is a sharp-tongued trickster who seems to enjoy the chaos far too much. He knows more than he lets on—about the game, its rules, and the power systems hidden beneath the surface. He might be the key to defeating the final boss, or the reason they all lose.
In a world where nothing is what it seems, Ruini must decide: can she trust someone who finds joy in watching others break?
