Welcome to Tartarus Online, a VRMMOG (Vi-Mog) that offers far more than your usual roleplaying game fare. It is a whole new reality, with a completely level playing field. Gone are the choices of Classes and Archetypes, starting kits and pay-for features. In the bowels of Tartarus, only your effort matters.

Once more I welcome you to Tartarus Online. We are going to have a Hells’ of a time.”

These were the words that really caught Riley Culman’s attention while watching the promotional video the two guys in nicely tailored suits had brought to him. The two men had come with an invitation, and an offer; which sounded more like a deal with a devil, but was seriously on the up-and-up. Not that these guys from Astarte Entertainment had any reason to lie or be evasive on the subject, given just how massive a corporation Astarte is.

Beta Test Tartarus Online. Explore a brand new world. Sleep away his chair-bound life while testing the latest in long term virtual reality immersion technology. And maybe, just maybe regain the mobility robbed from him by an accident as a child. It really sounded all too good to be true to Riley, thus the feeling of making a deal with a devil.

But it was what he wanted, more than anything.

Welcome to Tartarus Online indeed. Even if the Hells’ are only a step away.

The only curse that had worked upon the Phoenix, after many failed attempts, was that of the ‘curse of enslavement’…In which case meant…That the Phoenix could be taken and have a master…
Due to the Phoenix being resistant of anything else, due to having Alpha like attributes, and this being a curse that would take years to recuperate from casting, it was one of last options that the golden winged serpent had left to do…And it had worked!
The Phoenix being enslaved was a way to stop the golden winged serpent’s ‘man’, the Dragon and the most powerful King of King’s from finding his beloved, his cherished other half and soul mate…And, for sixty years,... more>> he was unable to find her…

…I was indeed scattered, unable to have a normal life or that of an easy one…
For me to achieve what I’m am supposed to, as a Phoenix and as the Dragon’s other half…Am I willing? It is a tough journey after all, one that can’t be accomplished in one life, not even two…
With no idea of why I had felt a strange bond and no idea of the strange feeling of being incomplete, my heart is very uneasy.
For sixty years, I had felt like my life hadn’t been mine in two ways. One because I had a master for most of that time or I was not of age, but the other reason was because there was something missing…Something that I had been unclear of…
But, even feeling as though I was not whole, I had been enslaved, abused, threatened, blackmailed, scarred and used. I was tormented, sacrificed, abandoned, kidnapped and it was only twice that I had been reborn…So, being treated as such, stops me from questioning my feelings…
But it is destined, apparently, and so my path must continue…
When I finally come to know what it is that I have been looking for and what I have to do, will I be able to finish what I have started? Will I survive these endless, heartbreaking trails and be able to accomplish more and go to where my heart is yearning to lead me?
Will I…Accept my destiny!?

Hermit’s Note: My take on the kingdom building genre, which often suffers from weak characters, low stakes and contrived challenges. Buildup will be slow, with Book 1 focused on business managment, Book 2 focused on a battle for succession and only Book 3 getting into the depths of kingdom building. There’s plenty of inventions before that point though, so if you’re here for the clever use of modern tech you’ll find quite a bit even early on.
