Shift! The Side-Character Heroine - Chapter 505

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape.There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss.A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage.But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

If you ever receive a letter offering you admission to a university in another world, do yourself a favor and toss it straight into the trash—especially if that university trains girls to transform into giant mechs and battle space aliens.No. Just no.Believe me, I know from experience. What once seemed like a dream is now more of a nightmare. My name is Zaft Callahan, and I enrolled in an engineering support course on the cyberpunk planet Xyraxis. At this university, genetically-engineered girls are trained to transform into giant mechs called Warfare Augmented Intelligent Frame Units. My goal is to become a support unit for these WAIFUs in their battles against Cosmic Beasts, using the Weaponry Enhancement Engineering Bios System.Little did I know I’d be partnered with my high school nemesis—Myrrh Alicent, a beautiful WAIFU. Together, we must navigate this university’s endless twists and turns, win tournaments, battle Cosmic Beasts, and even uncover the mysteries of an Outer God. And as if that weren’t enough, we still have to face the ultimate challenge: surprise quizzes in advanced calculus.What to expect:Cyberpunk World Isekai.First Person View of a Male MC with an overpowered Support System with LitRPG elements.Female MC turns into giant mech. What else do you want for a WAIFU?Slice of university life full of brainrot comedy, fluffy romance, and some weird ecchi.Space battles, mecha tournament, and eldritch horror enemies.

A fourth chance at life. The last chance.Zarek remembered when he first experienced the Godsfall Apocalypse. Those tears of red and sparkling rouge that split the skies, opening up one dangerous realm after another.That feeling of helplessness had been palpable, heavy... suffocating. It hung above his head like a guillotine, an edge graced by death's kiss...He grinned at it.One last ride, no Talents left on his stat screen, and nothing but a dull machete and his girl by his side. What was a better thrill than that?How could he possibly fail a fourth time?Unfortunately, there were others. Other Rebirthers. Some that might have been on their last attempt just like him, or some that still had more to give to this cruel world.None of it mattered, though. He had planned everything out meticulously, each life playing its own role.He would come out on top this time. How could he not?He was Zarek Ashborn.

In the wake of the first wave of shadow creatures, the world was plunged into ruin, a desolate yet enchanted wasteland. Humanity, driven underground, clung to survival while desperately plotting to reclaim their shattered world.But from the abyss of darkness, something miraculous stirred—a mysterious tree, shimmering with ancient power, appeared overnight. It chose only the strongest of heart, those with unbreakable will, gifting them extraordinary abilities. With these powers, humanity rose from the depths, waging war against the shadows.Yet beneath the surface of their heroic deeds lay a hidden rot. Corruption seeped into their ranks, and arrogance clouded their judgment. As their powers grew, so did the whispers of betrayal. The true battle may not be against the creatures lurking in the shadows—but against the darkness festering within their own hearts.A question lingers: When heroes fall, who will rise to take their place?
