“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.

Entry for SSSC V, using the third prompt. ... more>>

First time participating. I tried to write something 'bit different than usual.

The story's kinda nonsensical / surreal and weird, so I wasn't sure how to write the synopsis. The title and tag may give you a better idea.

It's also influenced by weeb elements, so yeah.

No screwed up things like my other works, but maybe you want to proceed with caution. <<less

Angels...Demons...
They would obviously live differently and they would obviously be different experiences. One would live in heaven, the other in hell. They are known for the light, known for their darkness. Good and bad, right and wrong...
Humans...
They are a species that is far from perfect...It is like humans are a part of both Angels and Demons, as they do 'good' and 'bad', both 'right' and 'wrong'.
Is it that Angels and Demons evolved from humans or the opposite?
Is it that Angels founded their rules upon the humans life experiences, like maybe the Demons as well?
How did it start that Angels and Demons might have known of what is 'good' and... more>> what is 'bad'?
Perhaps...Perhaps humans played a big role when it came to that of heaven and hell, Angels and Demons...

This story starts with Leon Dagmen realizing that he had used to be an Angel and had also been a human once before. He puts his experiences into question, wanting to know what it is to exist. Having already lived a good human life that led him to become an Angel, he now wants to know what it's like to be 'bad', and try and answer some of his questions!

(This story is very open minded. I do not intent to insult anyone's way of life or anyone's religion, it is just a story. For mature audiences only!) <<less

Hey, Goswick here. Thanks for giving my story a look! I'm currently writing for the Adventum Contest, under the categories "Combination of Magic and Technology" and "Reincarnated as an X" (Well, kinda...). Anyway, this is more of an experimental story to try and subvert the norms of a Reincarnation story, so I'm hoping you'll stick around and watch to see how it unfolds!

The cover is now semi-finalised, yay! I might update how the title looks later, but expect the art to remain roughly the same. <<less

“Let an old warrior caution you, there are parts of every tale that are not told. The part where none of those mighty champions died peacefully in their beds. The part where the hero meets their end surrounded by the enemy and in horrible agony. They were alone in their final moments and unsure if their sacrifice would bear fruit. I do not want that for you.”... more>>

The Heavens created the Realm of Man and saved it from the eternal silence of the Void - once. Centuries later, humanity’s unity has fractured beneath the weight of time and the whims of man. Raegn Edelgard fights on in his home of Bastion, one of two everlasting fortifications to protect the Realm from the remnants of the darkness that still persist.

Raegn hoped to be written into legend alongside the stories that inspired him since childhood, yet the scouting skirmishes and small battles that have been fought since the time of his forefathers offer little chance at glory.

When the Void wakes once more the Realm questions if the first war was ever really won…and if they might be saved again. Raegn is left searching for purpose and must navigate through a world teetering on the brink of extinction.

Dire times create the greatest heroes, but tales that stand the test of time are written twice - in blood before ink.

Ye Feng lived two lives in one lifetime.... more>>

First, he basked in the light of Righteousness, becoming an idol of peace and justice.

Second, he trod the mired path of the Darkest Path, becoming an object of fear and death.

One lifetime, Two Identities, countless experiences, still without purpose.

A meaningless existence.

An empty husk.

In his selfishness of wanting to fill the void in him, he became the catalyst that destroyed Reality.

He now controlled everything, ultimate power, uncontestable by none.

But he cast it away, to be reborn anew.

With a new name and a family, his goal was to understand, his place.

To understand how to no longer feel empty. With his family consisting of a Reincarnated Twin Sister and Parents with inscrutable pasts, his desire was not that of grandeur.

In this lifetime, he wishes not to hold power, not to gain eternal life, nor control of everything, he only wishes to live, and hopefully look at sunrise with a smile on his face.

Disclaimer: The story focuses on the Main Character’s emotional and personality growth. He is someone who is, obviously OP in some perspectives but almost crippled in others. He is not soft and does not spare anyone because it is “Bad” so expect that there would be genocide and some bloody encounters.

Warning: This is story might trigger some people and is not for everyone. It is also has a slow pace.

In the darkness there exist no life-ish.... more>>

Actually, there was something, or someone — no, it is indeed something.

It was a being of pure power; it moves cosmos on its whims and creates worlds because it wishes to. Gods bow before it, and its pride and arrogance make it the most glorious of all being across all—

“Stop it, stop expanding!”

Glorious of all being acro—

“My sleep is at risk; my abode is being sullied by this light… what? Create life? Go on, I don’t really mind.

“Create a being that spread the stars?

“A being that controls life and death? What’s life and death?

“Mortals? Demigods? Gods? Celestials? Guard—"

Fuck it! I give up… there is too much information… just read it, it’s pretty fun.

This is a story unlike any other... I think... <<less
