Time Effect ( A Mass Effect Fanfiction)

Pop0
A man is reincarnated in the Mass Effect Universe. At first, he was kinda scared about the possibility of dying to the Reapers, or other dangers across the huge galaxy. But, he persevered and, after making friends with Shepard and the crew, won the final battle. He was happy and thrilled about the possibilities of his new life after the war. But, on the day he turned 28 years old, he returned back in time, to when he was a baby. He was confused and mortified by the weird situation, but, our MC didn't let that shake his confidence. So, he tackled the plot of the game once more. But, again, after he turned 28, he returned in time. He finally had to admit to himself he was trapped in some sort of time loop but decided to continue ahead with his life(s). The problem was, this didn't happen just once. 2 times, 3 times, 4 times, 5 times... 9 times. It slowly changed him, to the point he lost the will to try after a few cycles. He realized what he was doing was meaningless, because no matter what he did, the changes he made, nothing mattered, as he would be thrown back in time anyway. So, he deviated from the plot and started to study a variety of things and he didn't care about the fate of the galaxy anymore. In those subsequent loops, he managed to become a master/expert in a lot of things, but the time loop never changed, and the MC started to lose hope of living a normal life. But, after the 9 loop, he felt something different from the other cycles! Perhaps this is his final one? Follow along and watch our MC conquer the whole galaxy, fighting the dangers inside it, and possibly getting a few girls along the way! --- Release schedule: 3 chapters a week (Monday, Wednesday and Saturday), as long as I have enough chapters in stock.

The Mirrorbound

In a world where reality blurs between magic and modernity, one broken mirror awakens a forgotten destiny. Liam Gray is just an ordinary young man — lonely, directionless, stuck in a mundane life where success feels like a distant dream. But everything changes when a mysterious mirror in his room cracks open… not to shatter, but to reveal another world. From that mirror steps Aeris Virelle, a fierce and secretive warrior from a magical realm on the brink of collapse. She seeks the fragments of an ancient spellbook — the Liminal Codex — a key that can restore balance… or destroy everything. As Liam is unwillingly dragged into her quest, he learns that he isn’t just a bystander. He is bound by blood, power, and fate to the shattered past of both worlds. Haunted by visions and hunted by corrupted forces, Liam joins a band of unlikely allies: Kael, a blunt but noble wind-based warrior with a soft spot for dumb jokes, Nyra, a spirited summoner whose tiny summons love stealing food and causing chaos — but whose powers are growing every day. Together, they must traverse deadly landscapes, fight cursed guardians, uncover ancient truths, and learn to trust one another. But Aeris is hiding a truth of her own — reporting to a heroine who may not be what she seems. And lurking behind every turn is a dark force, manipulating hearts and histories alike: the shadowy being that destroyed Elira’s people and tore open the world long ago. As realms collide and fragments fall into place, Liam must decide: is he a hero destined to save both worlds… or a sacrifice meant to seal them?
