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.

Life is all about sacrifices. We sacrifice our time in order to play, we sacrifice our happiness in pursuit of achievement, we sacrifice safety and security to make impossible dreams come true even. We all have at least one dream in all our lives, and with that one dream, what will you surrender to achieve it.

I have always dreamed of battling monsters, saving damsels in distress, being a hero in whole world chuck full of danger, adventure, fame and riches. It's my all time dream, that's why I'm gonna make it happen. I will make a perfect AR video about it! But one day, as I was leaving my classroom, I was engulfed in a flash of white light and in the next thing I know found myself in a white world with a mysterious female voice seemingly coming from no where, calling herself "The Sponsor". "You are currently being pulled to a hostile world to work as a slave and guinnie pig for magic experimentation by evil magicians who also deal in satanic rituals, inhumane experimentation, mind control, and discrimination. I have no hand in any of this, I am mainly here to help you." she said. I've always wanted to go on a adventure to another world but maybe it isn't as pretty as It sounds... <<less

Cid was eight when his father died, leaving him with words of wisdom, not only for a business but for life in general. At the age of eleven, Cid’s mother died, leaving him with fond memories of what it was like to have a mother and good times. But…
His mother had remarried before she had died, because she was worried for her only son, and Cid was left with a stepfather whom already had two sons to his late wife.
Cid’s stepfather and stepbrothers may play tricks and try to take what isn’t theirs but there seems to be at least two people that have stayed by Cid’s side, and that is a long-time... more>> friend, David, and a Princess.
Working many hours because he is someone that brings business to his step father, Cid is trying to find a way to disconnect from his stepfather and live a life of a man…A man that would be in charge of his own life and not be ordered around and be treated like a slave.

Strayed into the depths of the abyss, she remained still like a doll without its string. Yet, sunk in this pure dark world, its eyes glowed a deep red color as if exposing the predator's eyes, and looking for the prey she wants.
Looking right to left, no known being has its presence in this dark world and even the light cannot reach into this dark world.
As it portrayed its loneliness through its surroundings, deep within, she was brimming with happiness.
Keeping it's calm and peaceful atmosphere, there was no more wish than that, but to continue the peacefulness reigns the dark world.... more>>

If you are asking me, why am I laughing like crazy even though I'm being chased and my family and tribe are trying to kill me?... more>>

The answer is simple, I’m happy because I have reincarnated in a fantasy world.

If you are asking me, how can I be happy even though I have reincarnated as a demon and to top it off, a cursed demon?

The answer is also simple, who cares what I have reincarnated into. It is a fantasy world, dude.

After waiting for forty years, finally, my wish became reality and I found myself in a new world, of course, I will be happy.

How this all began isn't up to the entities we pray to, but to the "freedom", we claim to have. Once someone claims they are free, are they? What if they aren't free but delaying the inevitable? What if they chose the side that guaranteed their freedom, but were being secretly controlled instead? If that is what freedom is then no one would desire it like some dystopia.... more>>

But that's not what he has. He had true freedom. The kind of freedom that allowed you to break away from any predetermined path that wasn't your own, to crawl back to life after saying no to death, to change their strings of fate into uncuttable diamond weaved by their own hands. That's the kind of freedom he possesses', but like all great things, it came with a price. And the world he had come to know had outcast him in response. <<less

The game has been hyped to no end for the whole 15 years of its production. It has hundreds of races, and a corresponding amount of worlds to fit them. It is in fact so 'Immersive' that you cannot tell the difference between the game world and the real one. That includes the NPCs as well.

Nalulthyn is the young daughter of a duke that is one day asked for a favor. This favor involves the adopted daughter of the duke from a neighboring area. This girl has had a traumatic past and has closed herself off from the world completely and reacts violently when touched by anyone but her personal maid. The duke hopes that a girl close to the age of his adoptive daughter will be what she needs to recover, but things are never as easy as they seem. First is that this adopted daughter is a Terran, a rare being from a different world that has skin and hair as white as snow and an almost alien build. Second is that there is a power to this girl, one that makes her recovery all the more dangerous to Nalulthyn and perhaps beyond.

Author's note:

This is a soft reboot of Artifice: Tools of the Gods. As I wrote the other story years ago I felt it would be better to do this approach as my writing has changed and improved since then. For now only two characters will return though I might reintroduce others later in the story. <<less
