The Fifth Integration begins.  Descending upon Earth and the Fifth Universe as a whole, an infantile System attempts to do as it has every time before and bring the inhabitants into line. Yet, for the first time since the beginning of its history, the System faces not only resistance, but an equal as the Fifth Universe begins to fight back. Waking up something that should never have been, the System damns many inhabitants of the new universe as they are pulled into the hellish parasitic reality that resided silently beneath their feet all along. Now trapped in what a strange disembodied voice calls “Floor 0, The Nothing,” Aaron must fight his way free of cannibals, aliens, and what arguably might be called angels, all while battling for control over his body against the corrupting power grafted onto him. The System sings to him from the skies above. But the Underworld beckons him into the depths below. What to expect: -This is a GRIMDARK! People die horribly and sometimes suffer fates worse than death; the world at large is incredibly brutal, with depictions of sensitive or traumatic topics. Despite that, I won’t just cause pain in the story to cause pain- everything has a time and a place.-Takes light inspiration from Dark Souls, if only as the atmosphere I aim for.-Lots of action with a heavy focus on exploration.-Starts off slow magic-wise to gradually introduce the reader to the power system, so as not to be overwhelming.-I try to stick close to reality or a believable outcome, but ultimately will sacrifice believability for a better story if required! A story should be interesting to read.-MC isn't perfect, but he tries his best in a cruel world.-Dungeon crawler.-System Apocalypse, but less focus on Earth itself and more on the effects this had on the wider universe. About 1 chapter a week for now due to unstable living situation.
