Thrown together by betrayal and a secret society known as the Cabal, they discover the war is not what it seems. The Cabal seeks to shatter the old world and build a new empire from blood and ancient magic. They have unleashed a supernatural plague, corrupted the souls of kings, and transformed a woman named Cecilia into a living weapon. Aurelio loves her. Gerald has lost his own love. Both men are running out of time. As the plague spreads and nations crumble, something unexpected happens. The gentle soldier becomes a merciless warlord. The berserker becomes a wise leader. They are not just fighting the Cabal; they are fighting themselves. And the only way to save the world is to lose themselves completely. One Must Imagine Sisyphus Happy is an epic fantasy of transformation, heartbreak, and the brutal cost of hope. It asks a single question: What are we willing to become to protect what we love?

A game that one day appeared on the market without any prior announcements or advertisements. An ordinary game wouldn't even have had the weight to flop.

But the rest is what got him addicted and made him start climbing to the top, uncovering secrets, making friends, pissing off enemies, and earning money.

What happens after the end? When death isn’t release, but a door—one that opens to something far worse? Welcome to The Labyrinth, where every path leads to suffering and every death drags you back to the start. It doesn’t want to kill you. It wants to grind you down, again and again, until even your soul forgets how to scream. How many times can you break before there’s nothing left? But what if, instead of breaking, you laugh? What if, stripped of fear, stripped of humanity, you become something...else? In the end, perhaps the only true defiance is to keep walking—no matter how many times the Labyrinth pulls you back. ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ A.N - Expect heavy philosophy and existentialism. Also expect a really villainous MC, inspired from Fang Yuan. The setting is similar to Maze Runner, only dialed up to 11 and with much, much more violence and death.
