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.

“Okay, first step: Let’s make some brandy.”

…that’s a maybe then.

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.

Connor, a teenager in the 21st century who enjoys spending time playing military and strategy games. He is now looking forward to a VRMMO game called “Warzone” that mirrors Earth where the players start as an ordinary soldier in one of two factions, Federation or The Empire, then rise through the ranks and manage their own armies.

For Carl, Maya has always been the cherished older sister.... more>>

For Maya, Carl has always been the beloved younger brother.

They may not have always been the best of friends, nor are they ever the worst of enemies. Sometimes they disagree, sometimes they support each other, sometimes they simply talked. It is a familial bond, nurtured through years of living together.

Then came the incident. Wrenched from their peaceful lives, where their only worries were passing exams and wondering what to eat for lunch, they are now thrust into a world unlike any they have seen. One where they have to constantly fight to safeguard their food. One where they will be eaten if they are careless. One, where death is just around the corner.

With no hope or help, will their familial bonds remain strong or will this be the end?

Author's Note: The fluffy prequel of this story was here: http://hugginglove.blogspot.com/2016/02/theirlastvalentine.html Please take note that the prequel's tone is not indicative of the tone for this story. Also, please ignore the different names of the male protagonist. Ai-chan assures you, this is the prequel. Ai-chan will also repost the prequel here, but hasn't gotten around to editing it yet.

Garth Daniels is a down on his luck handyman in a quiet little town in the middle of America when our universe is co-opted into a war between an unstoppable race of reality-hopping monsters that feeds on the flesh of living creatures, and a conglomeration of thousands of realities, nested inside each other like a matroska doll.... more>>

We're the new layer.

These monsters, the Kipling, can only be defeated in a reality with very specific physics, otherwise they are unstoppable, and so Earth's universe has been assimilated to give us a fighting chance.

Garth must set aside everything that he knows, and think fast to adapt to the new laws of nature if he wants to survive.

This feels kinda awesome, a lot of ideas i've been having for writing are converging now into this one. I originally came up with this about an year or two ago, but only now i'm getting myself to actually write it past the 5 conceptual chapters i had done.
I finally feel like i know where this is going but there's always a surprise that come to mind when i'm writing, this is so cool.
In case you're wondering no, i did not decide to pretend the cover was a child's drawing halfway through failing to draw. It was closer to when i was finished. <<less

The beautiful caretaker of my family often told me stories. From powerful heroes, hateful villains, fluffy beastman, comedic dwarves, rich nobles, mighty dragons, witty gnomes, mischievous fairies and more. I adored all her stories as the characters came to life through her hilarious narrations. ... more>>

One night, after finishing telling her new stories. She stared at me, her pupils shifting hue from crimson to a mystifying lilac, as her lips curled into a beam. The room fell silent, the cool spring wind crept through the open windows. The sweet wind caressing my face.

Bereft from any of its fetters, the wind whispered to the trees, its leaves like an orchestra playing a waltzing tempo for its audience.

It was odd, as if nature itself seemed to be waiting for her words, acknowledging her existence.

It felt like we had arrived at a different place, a land full of unknown and mysteries.

In a soft hum, she then asked me.

"Little master, did you know elves didn't always have pointed ears?"

In 2202 A.D., the discovery of "Mana" on Earth captivates governments, who invest trillions in researching its energy manipulation. But Earth's limited Mana reserves dampen interest until scientist Gideon Kingston detects strange surges and vanishing individuals. He forms "The Round Table," including brilliant minds like Alexander, Selina, and Geoffrey, to investigate the phenomenon.

They unveil a connection between the surges and people being summoned to other worlds. Panic ensues globally, with some fearing the unknown and others embracing the chance for adventure. "The Round Table" unveils the Kibo, an implanted device fueled by Mana, which adapts hosts to survive in new worlds.

Governments enforce Kibo implants for infants, despite concerns about mind-reading and alterations. "The Round Table" leads in both magical and scientific research, shaping a world dependent on interstellar exploration.

A century later, David Kingston celebrates his 21st birthday, becoming the focus of a story that explores the challenges and adventures faced by "The Round Table" descendants in a Mana-infused world. Amidst the Four Major Species the tale unfolds in a world shaped by Mana and numerous other forces, including the longing for knowledge beyond Earth.

The humanoid people of Titan had been divided since their creation. The people had no choice over their lives, their marriages, or their fate. All... more>> things had been designed for them by the almighty council, even the powerful monarchy of the land. The night of the white moon was supposed to be a good omen for children born, but for Aynilia it was an unfortunate birth. Born as a Creegin she had no real place where she belonged. She was banished to the lake lands with the rest of the undesirable and animalistic Creegin beings. Cranis was born to the monarchy's matriarch with all the good fortune showering on his life. These two polar opposites would never had met if it hadn't been for the council's decision on the tournament for his future mate. Only the 10 strongest females were chosen to compete and somehow the lowly creegin girl was chosen and yanked from her family in the lake lands to fight for her life. Aynilia must tap into her strength and survival skills to best her fierce opponents, but they weren't the only ones out for her blood. As she fights for her life, fragments of a life before break through and help save her. Will this new found power be enough to free her from this nightmare before it engulfs her? <<less
