I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Gods_And_Chakra
Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

The Weaver of Star-Steel

In a world forged from the ruins of forgotten legends and rusted metal, flesh is a fatal flaw. For Hanzo, a slave in the deepest slag pits, survival was never a matter of strength—it was a matter of precision. But when a forbidden legacy awakens in his blood, he becomes something the world hasn't seen in eons: An Architect. His body is no longer just flesh and blood. It is a construction site. Hanzo possesses the ability to redesign the very geometry of life. Armed with the power of Lunar-Zinc, he begins to rewrite his own biology—layer by layer, bone by bone. But power demands a price that no calculation can foresee. Every reinforcement of his skin increases the pressure on his human frame. Every upgrade brings him closer to perfection—and closer to the breaking point where his own body will collapse under the weight of his ambition. Accompanied by a hunted outcast and a mechanical companion, Hanzo must navigate the "Forest of Singing Blades." Hunted by beasts with bones of bronze and confronted by the fatal flaws of his own design, Hanzo learns the ultimate lesson of a builder: An invincible wall is worthless if the foundation is made of dust. Will he sacrifice his humanity to become the perfect machine? Or will he find a way to unite the impossible—the heart of a boy with the logic of a god? Welcome! I have always had a deep passion for storytelling and world-building, but translating my complex ideas into written words has been a challenge. To bring my creativity to life exactly as I envision it, I use AI as a writing assistant. This allows me to focus on the plot, the intricate crafting systems, and the journey of our protagonist while ensuring the story is told clearly and vividly. Thank you for joining me on this epic adventure!
