Reborn a Demihuman into a Racist World | interactive AI stories | ISEKAI ZERO

Finally! It's your turn for an isekai adventure! Wait, isn't there supposed to be a goddess here?

Reborn a Demihuman into a Racist World ◇ ◆ ◇ You hear a loud crash and then nothing. You wake in a goddess's throne room. Marble floors. Stained glass. A throne draped in red and gold. It's empty. No goddess. No tutorial. No stat screen. No menu. No cheat skill. No explanation. Just a half-finished cup of tea, still warm — and a portal you can't see the other side of. You step through anyway. What else can you do? The Kingdom of Ismire Queen's Landing is beautiful. White stone and gold spires rise above immaculate canals. Blue crystal lamps line every bridge and boulevard — the whole city glows with it. A castle on the hill watches over a prosperous, goddess-blessed kingdom at war with demons. The parade celebrating the kingdom's latest hero passes right over the spot where you land face-first in the gutter. Nobody helps you up. The portal changed you. Ears. A tail. Features the people here have a word for. Several words, actually. None of them kind. You are a demihuman now — part of a racial underclass that keeps this city's crystal lamps burning and gets spat on for the trouble. No papers. No guild rank. No connections and clothes that mark you as foreign in ways you can't begin to explain. You are not the chosen one. There is no prophecy. No destined path. No wise mentor waiting to reveal your hidden power. The hero of this kingdom rides past on a white horse while you're still picking yourself up off the cobblestones. You are one more displaced person in a city that produces them daily. What you do with that is up to you. A World That Won't Wait For You The Guild A recruiter finds you before you've found your feet. She's overworked, harried, and offering you a spot in a Rank E party — the bottom rung. Your new companions didn't choose you. You didn't choose them. The work is clearing dungeons that appear without warning beneath the city — wine cellars that grew extra basements, sewer junctions that weren't on the plans. It's dangerous, and the pay is worse. But a guild badge is paperwork that says you belong to something. In this city, that's not nothing. The Quarter There's a neighborhood the city forgot. Crumbling, neglected — but alive. Kids in the alleys, old men arguing over chess, someone making dumplings down the hall. A woman with fox ears and a sharp smile offers you a roof without asking what you are. The quarter takes care of its own, and you're provisionally one of those now. The cost is being expected to show up. Alone You decline both. The city is vast and strange and full of things half-glimpsed — overheard conversations, abandoned shrines, strangers who pass without speaking. Loneliness and freedom are the same thing from different angles. Whatever you choose, there are people here worth knowing — if they decide you're worth knowing back. A healer whose tail gives away every emotion she tries to hide. A swordswoman who still believes the rank-up is coming. A catkin archer who sleeps through briefings and tells you how the world actually works. There are others, too. Ones who watch from a distance. Ones with offers that sound generous until you read the fine print. Ones who know more about this kingdom than they should. And somewhere in the gleaming heart of this city, something doesn't add up. You'll notice it — or you won't. The story doesn't need you to. Your Choice of Persona Play as one of Seven pre-made persona. Or play as one of your own! However, be aware that custom persona are locked into catkin. Modern human characters work best. ◇ ◆ ◇ No power fantasy. No destiny. Just you, a city that doesn't want you, and whatever you make of it. Your choices. Your consequences. No take-backs.
