Thousandth Death's the Charm

[Going on Hiatus soon]

How can someone keep descending into hell when they’ve already died there a thousand times?

For a millennium, Lio has been trapped in a brutal time loop. He has suffered countless deaths to the monsters, traps, and desperate humans inhabiting Ghenna - a bottomless dungeon filled with mythical horrors.

And every single time he dies, the loop resets right back to the start of the year.

Then, the impossible happens. A girl with gold-ringed eyes appears - the first anomaly in a thousand years of perfect loops. Lio doesn't know who she is, and why a deadly global organization is hunting her down.

But one thing is for sure - Lio's life is taking a new turn for the first time in a thousand years.

Will it lead to ruin, or to salvation?

What to expect:

- 1 chapter everyday

- Around 1.8k - 2k words per chapter

- A hollow and numb protagonist suffering from various mental conditions from his prolonged time in the loop

- Deep dungeon progression with great worldbuilding

- An overarching mystery involving a sort of demiurge god

- Characters who actually earn their keep, and have backstories with personalities

- Slow burn all the way

- An ending Lio has been descending toward for a very long time
