iconography in pulp fiction

Acquiring actual skills, interests and ideals... Is a hard task! How can you make sure, that everything you do is not an absolute waste of time, leading to less than nothing? Therefore, the main character of the story, the man affectionally called 'Nista' a name that, essentially, has no meaning, and "No meaning" is not the meaning of it either, obligates himself to nothing, aside from Visual novels! Reveling in his unemployed and severely uneducated life-style, refusing to go outside due to its dangers, the comfort of his life is challenged: unless poor Nista finds an actual job, his parents are going to stop sending him all the needed funds to slack away! So, o great' hero Nista... Can you depart on an adventure so dangerous, to seize the roots of a profession!?

The world was once tampered with by the divine, giving off offspring known as Nephilims A few million years after their time on earth, their ancestors became known as Epico, a long lost race capable of using the strengths of those mythical beings lost to time. Having been born as an Epico, Pyre Benitez is thrust into a battle that he never signed up for nor can he escape it. Will he survive or will his story burn to ash, just like all the others...

In the chaotic city of Zango, where survival feels like a daily accident and reality itself seems unstable, a scientist named Calado Bento—infamously known as “Doctor Bad Luck”—works at GENE-HIVE BIOTECHNOLOGIES, a biotech corporation experimenting with genetic mutations and insect-based super-organisms. When a series of bizarre incidents leads him to experiment on an ordinary cockroach using forbidden genetic technology, the creature mutates into a monstrous, intelligent entity known as Cockroachman—an unpredictable force that embodies both heroism and destruction. Declaring war on filth and corruption, it becomes a feared and mythologized figure across the city. As chaos escalates, other mutations and human-insect hybrids emerge from the same unstable scientific experiments, including Human-Cockroach, a being shaped by waste, poverty, and survival instinct, further distorting the boundary between human and monster. Meanwhile, Calado himself attempts to gain powers but instead becomes trapped in a cycle of failure, absurdity, and accidental survival, reflecting the distorted logic of Zango—a place where death, science, and comedy blur into one system of existence. The story evolves into a darkly comedic and chaotic exploration of power, mutation, and urban decay, where every attempt to control life only creates new, more unstable forms of it. .
