[FF7/Infinite] I Take the World-Ending Calamity Through Dungeons

Pre-release listing. It will begin after Life and Death Illusions is complete.

The title, blurb, and setting may all change before the story officially starts. The only thing that won't change is Sephiroth as the male lead.

[Server-wide announcement: [Fatebreaker] has successfully killed player [Ji], claiming the top spot on the power rankings!]

When Sephiroth regained consciousness, he was already inside a horror instance.

This was the Corridor at the End, connecting countless dying planets. To survive, he had to clear the instances and claim the highest reward.

He patiently began investigating the clues. But as he passed a corner, a pistol pressed against the back of his head.

She had once been ranked number one in the Corridor at the End.

Overnight, her friends betrayed her, her enemies ambushed her, and she lost everything, forced to start from scratch.

[Use item [Name Change and Rebirth Card]?]

[Yes]

[Enter your nickname...]

[Guiyun]

Her honors erased, her points cleared, her former name cast aside...

Swallowing her anger had never been her strong suit, but she endured. Once she climbed back to the top, she would make those traitors pay dearly.

But before then, she needed a teammate strong enough to keep her safe, someone reliable.

"You're pretty skilled." She held her gun to the back of the newcomer’s head and threatened in a low voice, "How about teaming up with me? Otherwise, I don't mind killing you right now."

The teammate Guiyun picked up in the beginner's village was calm and patient, gentle and upright. But she never expected her teammate to turn monstrous.

Mutated tentacles wrapped around her hands and feet, while screams rose and fell in the distance. In a horrifying scene, the handsome silver-haired man transformed into a monster and cupped her face in his hand.

"How about I give you a choice too, Guiyun?"

He smiled, madness twisting his pale face in a way that made her heart shudder.

"Bind yourself to me, or be devoured by me. You know which one to choose."

"Or should I call you..."

"Ji."

The second long novel in the Final Fantasy VII series. An infinite-flow story, featuring Sephiroth x an original female protagonist.

1. I don't distinguish between canon romance readers and self-insert dream readers. Enjoy it from whichever perspective you prefer. The author is a Sephiroth dream fic fan, so please steer clear if that bothers you.

2. This should be much lighter than Life and Death Illusions, with far fewer heartbreaking twists. I want to try something different.

3. This is a passion project and the full story will be free. The author's tastes are unusual, so it may be very melodramatic and might contain other potential triggers. I won't provide specific warnings, so it's best suited to readers with broad tastes who don't need them.

Theme: Never let yourself be the one who suffers
