The Neither Mist Chronicles

When the world ends, the real adventure begins. Ren Kisaragi was buying cup noodles when purple mist dissolved reality—and everyone in it. Everyone except him. Now trapped in a world where elves see humans as extinct myths and cosmic horrors wait behind crumbling dimensional barriers, Ren must navigate his new existence as the last "pure" human alive. His only advantages? A grandmother who apparently prepared for the apocalypse, a self-deprecating sense of humor, and an inexplicable immunity to the reality-eating mist. With a child-like elven princess who's three centuries old, a beautiful warrior who alternates between protecting and threatening him, and a prophecy that can't decide if he's the savior or destroyer, Ren races against a countdown to complete dimensional collapse. The solution lies in his grandmother's final gift: Protocol Eight, a system that requires him to merge his consciousness with ancient machinery to save a reality that barely tolerates his existence. But some things are worse than extinction. As Ren connects to the cosmic infrastructure holding the universe together, he discovers the truth about humanity's fall—and why something vast and hungry has been waiting ten thousand years for the last pure human to arrive. Rating: 11/10 for existential dread, 10/10 for found family, ∞/10 for terrible life choices. A unique blend of isekai adventure, cosmic horror, and surprisingly heartfelt humor, The Neither Mist Chronicles is perfect for readers who enjoy: Sarcastic protagonists who cope with humor Lovecraftian elements in fantasy settings Romance that develops amid apocalyptic chaos Creative world-building with dimensional physics Stories that balance dark themes with genuine hope Volume 1 of an ongoing series.
