[On Hiatus] How can someone keep descending into hell when they’ve already died there a thousand times? For a millennium, Lio has been trapped in a brutal time loop. He has suffered countless deaths to the monsters, traps, and desperate humans inhabiting Ghenna - a bottomless dungeon filled with mythical horrors. And every single time he dies, the loop resets right back to the start of the year. Then, the impossible happens. A girl with gold-ringed eyes appears - the first anomaly in a thousand years of perfect loops. Lio doesn't know who she is, and why a deadly global organization is hunting her down. But one thing is for sure - Lio's life is taking a new turn for the first time in a thousand years. Will it lead to ruin, or to salvation? What to expect: - 1 chapter everyday - Around 1.8k - 2k words per chapter - A hollow and numb protagonist suffering from various mental conditions from his prolonged time in the loop - Deep dungeon progression with great worldbuilding - An overarching mystery involving a sort of demiurge god - Characters who actually earn their keep, and have backstories with personalities - Slow burn all the way - An ending Lio has been descending toward for a very long time If you enjoyed it, and want to read more, my Patreon is 15 chapters ahead.
