vermilion drift

Four hundred years ago, the moon wept blood. From that night onward, demons—known as the Tainted—swarmed the land, feasting on the spiritual energy of the living. The once-peaceful realm descended into chaos. Now, humanity survives behind two massive walls, while the lands beyond decay into a demon-infested wasteland. Join Linyue and her companions who specializes in finding trouble, inventing trouble, and loudly denying they caused the trouble as they stumble upon the buried truths behind the Weeping Moon. Secrets that have remained hidden for centuries and may change everything they know.

In a cosmos teetering on the brink of total collapse, the boundaries between dimensions begin to dissolve, triggering an apocalyptic convergence—a second Big Bang that threatens to annihilate all existence. As countless universes collapse and coalesce into a chaotic singularity, the fundamental laws of reality twist and shatter. Amidst this unprecedented dimensional drift, a lone figure emerges: Ren Ishida, a reluctant yet uniquely gifted explorer capable of traversing fragmented realities. Tasked with uncovering the root cause of the multiversal merge, Ren must navigate warped timelines, decaying worlds, and echoing versions of himself to prevent the final detonation of reality itself. Dimensional Drift: The Sacrifice Journey is a science-fantasy epic of existential stakes, identity unraveling, and the haunting cost of salvation—where one man's journey through collapsing dimensions may be the only hope to prevent the rebirth of oblivion.

Author note: This is my first story, so I hope you'll be careful with critique. I put it on Royal Road first, but I guess there's no reason to keep it only there. I hope you enjoy! I have no idea if male oriented is right for this story, it feels like it could fit both genders. I stopped releasing here on webnovel, but it's still going on royal road if you want a better reading experience. I also have pictures there, which I couldn't figure out how to include here.

One night changed everything. Without warning, billions of people across the globe were transported to mysterious, fog-shrouded islands. Civilization collapsed in an instant. These islands are infested with terrifying zombies, hidden survival resources, and deadly unknowns. In this new world, the only way to survive is to drift—explore, scavenge, kill, and build. While others struggle just to find clean water or wield a wooden stick for self-defense, Meng Hao, an ordinary young man, awakens a game-breaking ability: the Divine Fortune System. His starter pack? Most get a stick and a tiny storage ring. Meng Hao, with the system’s 100x reward multiplier, gets to choose: Option 1: 100 wooden sticks and 100 storage rings (1 cubic meter each)? Or Option 2: A fully-equipped Kar98k sniper rifle and a 100-cubic-meter storage ring? Without hesitation, he chooses power—and becomes unstoppable. From that moment on, Meng Hao sweeps through the islands like a storm. His loot chests always drop elite gear. His zombie kills yield top-tier upgrades. He constructs a mobile fortress base bristling with weapons and high-tech systems, crushing everything in his path. He absorbs and merges island cores, turning once-hostile territories into strongholds under his command. While others are still trembling in fear at the sight of a single zombie, Meng Hao is headshotting hordes deep in mid-tier infection zones. While others fight over scraps, he shares surplus resources with family and friends, protecting them within his expanding domain. While survivors fight for survival, he builds an empire. This isn’t just a game of survival—it’s a war to rewrite destiny. Will you cower and cling to life, or rise to dominate? In this world shrouded in mist and danger, only those blessed by fortune can rise above the chaos and create a new order. One man. One system. One world. Meng Hao’s reign has only just begun.
