Afterlife 2.0 [Litrpg in Hell]

Author: QuickDucklings

Tired of the old afterlife? Bored of eternal torment, fire, and brimstone? Well, you’re not alone—apparently, the gods are, too. To shake things up, they’ve scrapped the standard “endless agony for all” and replaced it with something... different. Welcome to Eternia: a brutal, glitch-riddled wilderness where new souls are dumped with little hope of survival. Make it here, or end up back in the classic hell as a consolation prize. Enter Ellie, who dies just in time to beta-test the gods’ twisted new system. Freshly arrived and utterly unprepared, she’s tossed into a world where everything seems out to kill her—or just glitch out before she can figure out what it’s supposed to do. Ellie quickly realizes that her “next life” is more of a do-or-die nightmare than any kind of second chance. Or at least it would be, if she weren’t a closeted fan of the genre she’s been thrown into. Armed with nothing but her wits and a reluctant sense of humour, Ellie must navigate the hostile landscape, outwit overly aggressive wildlife, and maybe, just maybe, survive long enough to find some purpose in this cosmic mess. But in a world designed for divine entertainment—and where the rules are still being written—anything could and probably will happen. Will she conquer the wilds of Eternia, or will she learn that the only thing worse than hell is the constant struggle to escape it? Join Ellie as she stumbles, fights, and glitches her way through eternity’s most chaotic afterlife. What to expect: Non-Human Protagonist Weak to Strong MC with very fast progression early on Possible Romance, most characters are at least a little bisexual. No Reverse Harem Magic system exploration (What even is Mana?) Crafting Focused Main Character Sociopathic Main Character who still craves connections with people. No insanely long fight scenes that drag out to the point of boredom Inspired by works like Primal Hunter, Azarinth Healer, and A Budding Scientist In A Fantasy World
