[Psychic Corruption, Ability Sequences, Backrooms Dreamcore]
[Volume One: Cyberpunk in Harmony]
Ander is an oddball who has always remained on the outskirts of society.
She realized at a very young age that she felt no attachment to anything in this world, whether it flew in the sky or walked on the ground.
That was until she accidentally joined the public beta of People of the Past.
In the artificial oasis called "Firmament," a corruption known as "Hollow Mind" is rampant. Emotions, imagination, thought, perception, memory... Every mental activity is a channel for corruption.
One day, this cold-blooded violent woman emerged from a void in the mind, carrying a long blade.
Operative's breathing? Normal.
Operative's heart rate? Steady enough to go for another long run.
Operative's emotions? No fluctuations, just like before she went in.
Joint Operations Bureau: We've struck gold!
[Operative, please answer. When you sense another person's hidden pain, do you feel sad?]
Ander: ...How am I supposed to sense it if it's hidden?
[Operative, please answer. When you see the darkness deep within the mind, are you afraid?]
Ander: I thought you'd forgotten to turn on the lights...
Joint Operations Bureau: We've picked up a ghost.
Danger and ability are two sides of the same coin within the "mind."
Use the most advanced consciousness-interference system to advance along one of the four "Archetype" paths and awaken the oldest power deep in the human soul.
Ander was born with an extraordinary lack of sensitivity, making her immune to all psychic corruption. That's good.
Ander has no emotions at all, so she can't develop psychic abilities of her own. That's bad.
Once the top damage dealer in a gaming guild, Ander is a woman of few words who can be ruthless when it counts. From firearms to melee weapons, she's mastered every style of combat, earning her the nickname "Weapons Master."
With maxed-out stats and a blank slate, she copies everything she can learn. Whatever the ability, she turns it into an attack and adds it to her arsenal.
A top combatant ends up in the pleasure district, starting out as a security guard at an entertainment venue.
Amid the gorgeous streets of this fleeting world and the brief, dewy days of summer, Ander sometimes thinks of the days she spent at home.

[The current number-one player on the leaderboard will receive the "Dream Fund," which can grant any wish.]
Ander: "Including going home?"
[Yes.]
Beneath the pouring rain, in a futuristic city where neon lights flicker, giant corporations, artificial intelligence, the wealth gap, and patent monopolies shape the world.
Those attuned to Archetypes risk everything, climbing the divine path and competing for the top spot.
Their power shakes reality, while their afflictions quietly spread.
Humanity's evolution, or collective madness.
Ander heads toward the end of the sequence, reaching out to touch the real world.
Reader's Guide:
1. This is not an infinite-world story. The main plot takes priority and includes an atypical group-transmigration storyline between two worlds. The psychic corruption features elements of dreamcore and the Backrooms.
2. Plot-driven, with little romance and a touch of ensemble cast. There is no fixed main group.
3. The female lead is invincible from the start, a top damage dealer.
4. Entirely fictional. Please don't draw comparisons to the real world.
5. Anti-piracy measures are in place.
*Regarding the reference to "Archetype":
The concept draws on Carl Gustav Jung's Instinct and the Unconscious, Psychological Types, and other works. Archetypes are universal psychological patterns innate to the collective unconscious, reflecting underlying tendencies shared by humanity. However, this novel does not deal with professional psychological knowledge, so please don't scrutinize it on that basis.
Core theme: Cherish the present
Have a good rest and wait for your return. Of course, I still have to say it here. What the teacher wrote is really great. I don't like to leave comments. Most of the time I watch them silently, but the teacher's works really make people feel that it is difficult to vent the excitement in my heart without saying something. Watching An An get to where she is now step by step, I really feel that she has been through so much trouble. Of course, teachers who can persevere are also great. Also, if you want to publish a book in the future, please be sure to say it and I will support you!!! We cannot predict what will happen in the future, but at least now, we have a new starting point. Whether you move forward or stop moving forward, you are free. (I don't know what I'm talking about, so I'll just take a look)
The writing is really good, and it can be seen that the author has put a lot of thought into it. It has a strong color of Japanese literature and a kind of cyber psychedelic style. But the heroine's growth and her original intention of never forgetting where she came from are the most touching. The pace may be a little slow. I look forward to the author's subsequent updates. It's really good to read it in one go. The author has a good rest and waits for you to come back [][][]
The teacher's writing is like my tranquilizer... It's so beautiful and awesome
An An also wants to find friends and classmates to go back with! (That's right, it won't be revealed in the end that An An is the original owner or something 🥺)
🚬It's broken. It's broken. Why do you feel so dangerous?
It's really good looking. I'm looking forward to the author's return🥺
I love it so much, I love it so much that words can't express it. I'll throw another thunder 😭
It's August! It's a new beginning~
It's a tie, it's a tie, it's so good, Zaohou Volume 2 ❤️
Super beautiful, An An, we love you, thank you so much for bringing us such a wonderful period of life. Of course, this is not the end, but a new beginning. I look forward to meeting An An again [Spread Flowers]
