If you've come here expecting a nice, easy going story where the MC does right by all those around them, you've come to the wrong place. The MC will be evil, plain and simple. An absolute monster.

To play the game of politics, one must be brave or foolish, but better to appear both and be neither. Countess Julia Augstadt lost her mother in childbirth, her father to an accident ten years ago, living in the shadow of the Royal Palace by a betrothal to the Crown Prince, only for that to be annulled with her eighteenth birthday approaching. There is no justice but that which can be administered with one’s own hands, no power but for that which one personally yields, and there is no evil which cannot be justified with greatness. It is a shame, then, that she has decided there is no greatness left in the lands she calls... more>> home.

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.

"She'll be the mine."

*Inspired by typical Chinese reincarnation novels however it's baked with more than just one little twist. I wanted a novel that different and not as predictable as similar novels. It's my first time writing so there might be potholes but I'll try my best. This will be similar yet different in terms of approach. I'm a big fan of weak to strong novels but if you tell me that once amazing killer suddenly amounts to nothing in a new world with her personality turned all sweet, I'll have to double check myself. Hope you like it! Filled with schemes and twists, this simple author hopes to entrance you.
