A smart Isekai with a smart protagonist - who just can't stop making everything worse. Half the disasters in this dungeon? Oops. His mistake.
"A wildly complicated ecosystem within an underground dungeon? And I can't just burn it all down - else the world will both figuratively and literally come collapsing down on top of me? I didn't get Isekai'd for this!" — Nameless Abyssal Horror
Think you can navigate this catastrophe? Neither can this formless, hive-mind, reincarnated, sarcastic genius.
Abyssal Horror is a dark fantasy-horror story about survival, the extreme lengths a person will go to achieve it, and the terrifying lines they cross when they mistake their own paranoia for necessity.
- What to Expect -
- No Blank-Slate Characters: The world does not revolve around the MC. Quite the opposite. People other than the MC have overpowered abilities AND know how to use them.
- Hard-Science & Deep Ecology: A highly realistic, deeply fleshed-out ecosystem where every creature has a purpose, a food source, and a biological niche. Predators too!
- No Gamified Story Elements (No LitRPG): No floating blue status screens, levels, or systems. This is a story governed purely by consequence, biology, and environmental physics. Some creatures, among other things, will have a few pages made on any observations that our MC bothered to write down. (extra material)
- Tactical Clone/Hive-Mind Mechanics: Our MC survives by coordinating his clones and morphing his body. It's just him, his clones, and a fragile, complex ecosystem waiting to break at the slightest touch.
Abyssal Horror will be a long form story that seeks to be somewhere in between Made in Abyss and most Isekai. And as hard-science as realistically possible.
I plan to flesh out many different elements that always irritated me about other works and shows. And hopefully entertain a few people while doing so.
Content Note: Features occasional fantasy violence, sci-fi body horror elements, and themes of existential dread.
