Lit-RPG story during an apocalypse
_______________________________________________________________________
One day Humanity ruled the World. The next day they were gone.... more>>

The system is put into play to help Humanity cope with their new, cruel reality.

They struggle with monster raids weekly, each dreadful war consuming more than the one before, whittling down the survivors. Yet, they quickly realise their true enemies aren’t the predators besieging their walls, but instead the people beside them.

Inspired by The Legend of Randidly Ghosthound and Master Hunter K. Posted on Royalroad and Webnovel as well. <<less

“The new is built upon the old. This is true across all realities, and even the gods themselves cannot escape this fact.... more>>

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.

Next thing he knew he was... more>> being bombarded with questions and doubt by a crazy mage that had accidentally summoned his soul. A world filled with magic, monsters and fantastical races he had only read about. The mad mage decided to keep Lucas a research subject and servant by transferring his soul into an artificially created body of Iron Wood and Metal, otherwise known as a Homonculus. This is a story of his adventures, trials, and tribulations as he slowly loses his sense of self and human connections. <<less

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

Our protagonist begins dead and talks to a god as is the usual in isekai, except he dreams big and mere cheats cannot satisfy him. He begins to negotiate with god who is not happy to hear his not so humble requests. All doesn't seem too well in the realm of the gods when the recruitment of our protagonist is interrupted to his ecstatic surprise. He is getting his dream granted by a less stingy god... or whatever that is.... more>>

Sent to a star system in the fringe of the galaxy, how will a artistically inclined nerd power the megastructure he always dreamt of? What will he do to the star system he finds himself in? What about the one high fantasy planet in orbit? What does his new body mean about his existence and conciousness? Is he still human? Does he care? Why am i talking to myself?

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

This is a story of Shiro, a 12 year old girl who wished to adventure around the world. Only to end up in an untimely death. When she wakes up, she finds herself in what seems to be a new world, and her body has changed to that of a catkin. Using her knowledge from knowing literature of people in similar situations and adventuring, she tries to make a place for herself in this new world. Only to find out that reality is far crueler than one would imagine. Even with what one would call an OP unique skill and other OP advantages, she finds things quickly fall apart regardless how hard she tries. Thus... more>> she seeks more and more power to not only survive, but to protect what is important to her.

Unbeknownst to her though, lies within her an ancient power time primordial. A power so vast it can bring anything to its knees. This ancient power can easily be unlocked with just one sentence, but this sentence shall never be spoken. Instead, Shiro will embark on a new path to gaining a new different kind of power as she moves forward in this new world.

WARNING: The first few volumes will have tragedy, which will disappear at around Volume 5 or 6. From then on it will be just pure OP-ness and having fun.

While I personally like OP characters and don’t like tragedies myself, I think it is unrealistic that a person goes to an unknown and everything just magically go their way via plot armor. So I wanted to build up a more realistic OP reincarnation novel where MC struggles through a new world regardless of their advantages due to gaps in knowledge (despite how prepared she was) and simply not having enough strength at the time.

——————————————-

This is my first poor attempt at a story. I read a lot of novels overall and was in the mood to see how well I can write one. Expect a lot of mistakes here and there as I am pretty new to writing.

Releases should be about 2 times a week(changed due to chapter size pretty much doubling) unless stated otherwise or inbetween volumes.

I will at least commit to finishing the volume I am on (Nothing worse than a story being cut off mid story).

So give me your comments what you think. I don’t mind if the comments are bad and etc. Just lay off the grammar nazi (My only weakness...) <<less

A comment is left on an Instagram post that changes her perspective on her life and her marriage

Year 2103, it's the year that VRMMO games peaked. Various teams competed at the professional scene and billions of players aspired them. Jiang Long was one of these players. That's why he and his friends joined the most popular VRMMO game ever, 'Heavens'. They tried to make a name for themselves but some of his friends left for other guilds and some of them left the game altogether. Only Jiang Long was left.... more>>

He made a name for himself as one of the powerful Lone Wolves in the game and was admired as a role model for many. But with fame comes jealousy and with jealousy comes enmity. He was accused and branded as a public enemy by a large guild. He was pursued and ambushed. Even some of his friends turned their backs on him. In the end he was left with nothing. With the shock of his downfall he decided to end it all. But when he expected to hit the ground he jumped on his bed.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in 15 years prior to his downfall and 3 days before 'Heavens' came out. With a new chance at his doorstep and knowledge in his head, he decided to start again and this time he means business. With his emergence, the Dawn of The Noobs has arrived.

This story has little to no planning whatsoever. I'm writing it because I liked the initial idea and I want to see where it goes from there.
English is not my first language, so I welcome anyone that wants to help me correct the mistakes I'll make.
I'll probably update once a week, or maybe a little less frequently.
There might be some romance later on, depending on how the story goes. <<less

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.

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.

I am Adam. This year i turned 28. Prety much going trough life without any goal or ambition. Going to work, then straight back home. Killing time playing videogames or watching movies. Occasionally going out with my only friend to chat and chill outside for a change. Prety boring life if you ask me. ... more>>

But that all changed. I am no longer the same person. I am not even on the same planet. Something happened and i am going to enjoy it.

No longer without a goal.
No longer boring stale life.
I am reborn.

Journey of one guy experiencing a whole new world. Its a story about game-like world that we all wish would be real.

Alice Gardener and Xu Ran, two girls who couldnt be any more different. One an ordinary college students from america with some weird habits, the... more>> other a farmers daughter at the beginning of her career as a cultivator in the great Zhou empire. Two girls from different lives, different countries, different worlds. But when two become one, what is created? An unrivaled heavenly talent? Or just an existence outside of common sense? What is even that thing called "common sense" in the first place? <<less

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

” Hmm, hmmm... Nope, this doesn't make any sense at all. What the hell is going on here??? ”

Why would a God need to personally meet you for reincarnation? Who do you think you are?

Why would a superior being patiently clarify what you don't understand, respond to your retarded questions, and console you? Because of guilt? When was the last time you felt guilty for stepping on an ant? Usually, you wouldn't even notice.

Or maybe boredom?

No! Life is not a game. There is no tutorial for beginners. Nobody will care what you do after that. If you want answers, you'll need to find them by yourself. That, if there are any answers...

The story follows our protagonist, suddenly thrown into a strange world with no warning, no preparations, and on top of that, unclear memories as to how or why that happened. Even worse, his body seemed to not be exactly how he remembered it... Or, was it her body now?

In the largest virtual reality game in history, Mark was a king. His team? Unstoppable. They were heroes even among other pros.... more>>

But the game changed. The government—for their own political gains—made a mess of everything Team Black Moon worked so hard to perfect. Ten years of their lives were spent playing Ashes of God. Still, Mark and his friends found themselves obsolete—forgotten.

Then time itself forgot. Mark wakes up, 10 years ago.

He’s never met his lover. He’s never played Ashes of God. Mark’s friends don’t even know his face. But he’ll find them. With his knowledge and skills, they’ll rise higher than ever. Mark will not be forgotten.

This time, they’ll be the ones who change the game.
