"What do you say? Want to have a dance with the darkness?" -Dues ex machina The 'god' told him that the world was lost without her, she told him so right after she destroyed everything. But he, Irium Glice, denies what she says. So she gave him a proposal - a chance to prove his point - to see everything that she had seen and then deny her words. That is what began the journey through the darkest corners of the world, a journey that would change everything forever. ------- Read the author's review before reading the story. ------- Join my official discord server:- https://discord.gg/h5fwkge

Chapter 1Prologue

I'm going to be frank here. Life sucks.

Here I am, a frankly innocent high school student who somehow makes it through the day by earning a few bucks a month and then I have to give it all up for my rent and other monthly costs. I guess I could be proud of the fact that I live by my own earnings, but look at the downside - I don't have a single saving.

What happens if I someday fall ill? How will I pay for medicine? That is why, I am saying it right now, but life sucks.

Now from this monologue so far, you may (or may not) be thinking I am one of the those rip-offs of Touma Kamijou from A Certain Magical Index Franchise and … I don't know, I have never met this Touma Kamijou in my life so I can't tell if I am or not. That all said and done though, I do think I live a worse life than whoever this Touma Kamijou is.

I mean, just think about it, did that Touma Kamijou had to deal with magical mayhem that he had literally no idea about ever in his life? No, right? Right? Uh ... right?

Did that Touma Kamijou, when not dealing with magical mayhem, had to still leave his daily life to fight scientific douchebaggery (that is officially a word from this point on) and that also when he had no idea about anything at all? No, right? Right? Uh ... yeah okay whatever.

That is the proof that my life sucks more than whoever that Touma Kamijou is. Why did I just waste three paragraphs comparing myself to Touma Kamijou? I don't even know the guy.

But did that Touma Kamijou … okay, let's stop that.

Anyway, one thing I can be proud of is the fact that I live in a really big house. I mean, it's not like it's as big as that fricken snake in Snake & Ladders near 100. Damn that thing is long. But still, it's pretty big. To elaborate, it has 3 bedrooms, 1 large living room and a kitchen attached to that with 3 bathrooms, big lawns on both sides of the house and a strong, handsome, frankly quite sexy house border. That is obviously complimented by like a million rooms that I never opened in my life … and a shed. It admittedly is an old house though.

No, this house is not at all like Shirou Emiya's from Fate Franchise. It just happened to have similar characteristics.

Okay?

Okay.

Now, if you are wondering why I am living in such a large house on rent, well, it's a long story.

There was a once a man who owned this house and he took money from a mafia lord and then couldn't return it so it had to be taken over by the lord. The mafia lord, however, allowed the son to live in the house since he was small but made it look like he is living on rent.

Okay, I lied. It's not a long story. That's all.

Out of all the awesome dads that animes, mangas and light novels have produced (what am I even saying?) over the years, from the badasses like Minato Namikaze from Naruto and Shiro Fujimoto from Blue Exorcist as well as plain nice guys like Akio Furukawa from Clannad and Maes Hughes from Fullmetal Alchemist (or is it Furumetaru Arukemisuto?) … I got Charles zi Brittania from Code Geass.

Well, it's not all bad. I'm already done with The Ragnorak Connection (i.e., old man's gone) so I live alone. What? My mother? Pfft! Do you know who you are talking to? I'm the protagonist, damnit! My mom died before I was even a sperm (wait, what!?). Okay no, she died when I was five.

So now that I live all alone, I spend my days going to school and coming home, going to part-time job and coming home, going to buy groceries and coming home, going to get my bicycle repaired and coming home, etc.

Kids, appreciate your parents more. They go to a lot of places and come home so you don't have to.

Who am I kidding? "Parental Guidance Suggested" is going to be on this book's page. No kid would be reading this thing.

Anyway, the point of all that was to tell you guys I don't get any time to relax except on weekends. And so, I only relax on weekends. This world will be engulfed by the sun and SAO abridged will stop being funny before I actually step out of my house on a weekend.

Okay, so you wanna know about the city/town I live in? Leave something for later. There's no point in getting a 5/5 for world-building from just first chapter anyway.

Now, let's move on to the worst part of my life. It's my face. I hate my face. This face has only given me a life of hardships. Everything that has been wrong with my life has been because of this face. (Not really, but who cares?)

I have oval-shaped-blue-colored eyes. I also have an oval-shaped face. I have long-black-hair, and by long I mean it shows on my neck's sides. I'm 5'6 tall and have a fine physique because of the all the running around I do for my job.

In short, I'm the type of guy who girls of my age feel attracted towards. This might be one of the reasons I am so popular in high school. And by popular, I mean that's it's not anything good.

Every Monday some guy tries to bully me because his girlfriend broke-up with him cuz' she found me to be more attractive.

Every Tuesday the girls scold me for turning whoever the hell confessed to me down.

Every Wednesday the two genders combine their forces to take me down and by the time they form their alliance, the school is over. So yeah, I like Wednesdays.

Every Thursday the moderates of the alliance formed on Wednesdays tries to tell me how I shouldn't be so harsh on the poor women who confess to me.

Every Friday the extremists of the alliance formed on Wednesdays force me into deciding to join a group date with the girls and boys of worst personality, because of which, I get scolded at my job for being late.

Every Saturday the group date happens and the alliance makes sure I can't run away, so I spend my day with people who are the biggest headaches in the whole school.

Every Sunday some girl finds an excuse to come to my house and then confess her love to me.

Look, I'm NOT INTERESTED.

Yare, yare!

Just what should I do? I am at a loss. After all, there's no way I can accept anyone as my girlfriend. There's just no way for that to happen. Why's that, you ask? Well, in order to explain that, I need to start with the story of what happened a month ago, in the last week before the summer vacation.

That's when I, Irium Glice, truly became the protagonist of this story.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

Re: Evolution Online

On just another normal Monday, a new virtual reality game called "Evolution Online" launched out of nowhere and took the world by storm. People were blown away by the game’s hyper-realistic features and endless adventures. Everyone from small companies to big corporations and governments scrambled to get a foothold on this mysterious video game. But what they didn't know was that this game was actually a tutorial for the upcoming apocalypse that was about to hit the planet! The game was a precursor to the Earth's first evolution, where mana was going to be unleashed into the real world! Liam, a high school student who had faced numerous setbacks in his life, turned to 'Evolution Online' in the hope of changing his fate, but instead, he got trapped in the game's twisted world, and things went from bad to worse. When the apocalypse finally arrived, Liam barely managed to escape, but his situation didn't improve. Along with millions of others, he died a miserable death, unable to fight back and filled with regret. However, Liam's story didn't end there. He found himself inexplicably transported back in time before everything started! Armed with the knowledge of what was to come, Liam was determined to become the strongest and most powerful player, unleashing destruction upon the world that had ruined him before! This time, things were going to be different! ******************* Discord Link for chatting with author and character art https://discord.gg/XS7gWScKn8

Well, people do say that laughter is the best medicine, and this novel contains heavy doses of it, which is certainly not bad for health, is it?! If you're an anime fan, then this already enjoyable book will become much more entertaining, cause it's full of references from all those popular anime that you people love. The protagonist-kun is in a league of his own. His meme making skills and monologues (which is his 'special skill' and mind you, don't underestimate it) are frankly epic. He's complemented by an equally amazing cast of characters, whose interactions are downright amusing. I could never get enough of them. The way I see them, they are like the colors in a rainbow -- vivid, vibrant, different and yet play off each other really, really well and as a result, making this such a colorful book! Honestly, it's the type of story that just keeps on improving with each new chapter and is VERY enjoyable and addictive! Trust me, you can't read even a single chapter with a straight face. The comedy is balanced by some tragic elements as well, and those too make an equally big impact on the reader. If anything, I feel like the tragedy is done even better than the comedy, even if the book inclines more towards the latter category.. It took me a while to actually begin to like Irium, but I do love it now, albeit not as much as author-san's other book, which I simply adore to no end. (Gomen ne author-san, gotta be honest here, haha) But anyway, personal preferences aside, Irium, in itself, is definitely a worthy read! If someone is put off by the slightly off-putting nature of the book during the first dozen chapters or so, I HIGHLY recommend you to continue reading, at least until volume 2, to see the true potential of the story. And after that, I don't think anyone can stop reading it, as everything connects and blends in together so well ever since the reader reaches that point. It just shows how multi-talented our author-san is, to be able to write two completely different stories and making them both so amazing. Great job!

Alright, first things first: this novel is hilarious. The author writes in a farcical style so natural that this reviewer is a hundred and one thousand percent jealous of how smoothly the bullsh*t flows. By that, I mean this story is a mass of disjointed references, memes, and jokes that for some reason qualifies a story. But that's not what gets me. What really gets me is: whoever edits this thing is good. Do you know how long I spent looking for ten sins so I could come down on this baby like fire and heavenly vengeance on Sodom and Gomorrah?! (There are actually spelling errors and such, but not more than once every few chapters - eh, lets call those negligible sins. *points at you seriously* I am not a saint.) The main male character is the unholy love-child of the Merc with a Mouth and Kyon of monologuing protagonist fame. He's thrown into a situation that is Oh! My Goddess in reverse, twisted into a ton of Angel/Demon-slash-Goddess/Devil summoning cliches and...marital counseling. No seriously, there is a whole scene that is basically 'How much do I loath thee? Let me count the ways' with a love guru *coughbwahahahacough* in action. Author, you ripped off nearly everything except the Latin Bible? *nods* I can respect the art that is this...masterpiece. *cough* Still, this is a mass of words written by an otaku that may not be understood by those not initiated to the deep and not-at-all-subtle mysteries of the anime fan community. I'd recommend it if your taste or lack thereof, hah, conforms to the above. (This reviewer is of course, a person of impeccable taste, yes, no joke, no really.) Oh yeah, this was supposed to be the first sentence of this very serious review: The main character is Irium Glice and frankly, his life sucks.
