Possibility is a mixed reality modern fiction take on swords and magic, taking what I like from Rebirth of the Thief who Roamed the World, Reincarnation of the Strongest Sword God, Apocalypse Online, God of Bugs, and a recent fic, Rise of Babel. It's a realistic take on sword and magic, and follows the rise of a game into worldwide aclaim from one of its first players, instead of starting the story with the world already established. Not going to be a ton of action in the beginning, mostly system dynamics and training, lots of training. As someone who is obsessed with training arcs, this story will start off slow, and the system itself will grow over time becoming more advanced (but still simple, since I like simple systems). I'm choosing AR instead of VR for most of the story, since I like the aspect of training your body to affect a game in real life (present in both RotTWRtW and RofSSG)
If you think this might be a cool topic, take a read. If not, feel free to wait until I've stockpiled at least a few dozen chapters to binge since at the very least it'll be a lot of words.
