A world of swords and magic, where the strong survive and the weak... revive. A world in which one's strength is determined not by birth, but by skill, creativity, gear, luck, skills, and your class. A world where your imagination is the limit, unless the sadistic system decides to say "haha nope" for no reason. ... more>>

There're more hidden mechanics and aspects of this world than anyone can imagine, each with the power to overthrow any semblance of balance in nature or in society. What happens when such a thing lands in the hands of a weak, depressed, and lost teen, who is almost entirely uninterested in this world?

And when the Demon Lord wants to have fun at the expense of the human race, what better way than to get them to kill one another and, in doing so, turn them into demon-like beings? Perhaps make them fall into a sense of complacency before shattering their hopes, dreams, and peaceful lives with such a death game?

"I only started playing because it was my brother's last wish, why did I have to get trapped in a years-old VRMMO after the 2.0 update?"

---------

Updates will be slow and sporadic (you can see when each of the chapters was released so far, it'll be like that in the future too lol), due to long-term health issues. I write as a means to pass the time when I'm up for it, so if I'm feeling bad, I might not even get a single word into my drafts for a month or two, but I'm not dropping this or my other main project, ever.
On a different note, I have plans for 6 books of this story, so... we're in for a long one here. <<less

It was a world altering event. The opening of The Ascent, the first true Virtual Reality. An online world that one could immerse themselves, a... more>> world no different from the impossibly complex universe beyond.
It took the globe by storm, millions seeking to carve their way through this second reality and attain world shattering strength.
But this is not a tale of an ordinary man who fights for a new life through this game.
Enter Hugo Langston, a bored but powerful man who finds a new curiosity through The Ascent.
Watch him as he takes a dive into his life's creation. <<less

New Star Online, or NSOL, became the first video game that Ferris ever played in his life.

Whether it'd be due to his unique perspective, his personality, or the people he draws to his side, Ferris becomes the driving force for many events in-game; in turn, the game begins to change him in real life.

I'm writing this for the sake of starting to write (I keep getting ideas that I don't actually end up doing anything with; I'm trying to get into the swing of things), so these early parts'll probably be a bit rough. Please bear with me, and give me some feedback if you can. <<less

It all starts with a video game. A simple video game. Sako and Kiyomi purchased a brand-new MMORPG called "Qurecynthia", only to get sucked right into the game when choosing their classes. It is quite the inconvenience for Sako as she has a life to get back to. For Kiyomi, not so much. But still, they must find a way to return to their reality. Fortunately, death is not permanent, but there are potentially heavy penalties, such as varying degrees of pain and losing all their gear.... more>>

There is at least one way, and that is to defeat the Demon Lord, the hardest boss in the entire game. It is a tall task. They must prepare themselves by grinding out levels and obtaining endgame gear, then maybe they will stand a fair chance against her despite the fact that hardly anyone can vanquish her: her stats and abilities are absurd. And sadly, the moderator they encounter refuses to nerf her.

Sako and Kiyomi will have to be smart and persistent in their ultimate goal. It will take much time and much effort. But each has a head start: Sako is a martial artist, and Kiyomi is a veteran of video games. With these two advantages, they are already much more powerful than the average player.

...But they are still just high school girls, so mistakes are inevitable... <<less

“Hello everyone!!”... more>>

*A rather energetic young female voice can be heard through the ad as in the background one can see a vast view of grass plains on a beautiful sunny day. Windmills decorate the place as if people looking at a medieval peaceful village.*

“We welcome you to Open World Online (O.w.O)”

*The display changes from that background into another set of people walking, wearing unique-looking garments, travelling throughout many different-looking cities, and fighting strange-looking yet fearsome creatures resembling mythical beasts found in legends.*

“A hyper-realistic game designed with the latest technology in mind. Be immersed in this world where fantasy becomes real, where dreams can become reality!”

*Other people are chatting, showing affection to one another, trading their earned money for food, weaponry, bottles, or the like*

“Looking for an ‘oomph’ that you so desire in life? Something to satiate your wanderlust or a rush of adrenaline fighting powerful monsters?”

*The scenery changes to multiple beautiful sights from nature. Sun setting on top of the highest mountains, vast blue ocean with large-sized fishes jumping around the ship, and hallway of royalties decorated with gold, then into a battle with fearsome dragon deafening the place with its mighty roar.*

“Or desiring to become the strongest ever to hold power in your grasp fighting against other players?”

*The scenery changes to a rather large colosseum where one figure is pitted against another in a heated battle of swords. Behind them are spectators cheering them, it is an intense fight between each other until one becomes a winner where gold rains upon them as they emit a victory roar.*

“Or create your empire that lasts for ages?”

*The image of a king or queen sitting on their magnificent throne can be seen in the background. They raised their hand as many people knelt in front of them showing their rule.*

It was a hot night in August when the unthinkable happened. A night that would go down in history as the best thing that had ever happened to some, and the absolute worst event possible for everyone else. Portals appeared on Earth and people all over the world were transported into video game worlds. Some players obtained great power inside the portals they entered. Many others were not as lucky. ... more>>

Due to strict parents, Redmaw was never allowed to play video games. Raised in an abusive and neglectful household, he was rarely allowed off his parent's property in rural Connecticut. With most of his knowledge of the outside world learned from outdated books, he struggled to survive the chaos caused by the portals. Unfortunately for him, others had already set their sights on the poor Iksar. Surrounded on all sides by new characters that competed for his attention, Redmaw needed to select his companions carefully. The decisions made by him, and those that surrounded him, could have disastrous ramifications for the entire planet.

This story will follow Redmaw as he travels around Earth and enters portals to obtain items and power. The video games played are REAL games that exist in our world right now. Redmaw starts off in an Everquest portal, but any and all games are possible in the future.

This story will be dark. Humans that are spontaneously granted super-powers are already at high-risk of abuse. Add in the collapse of the government, the lack of clean water, the disappearance of easily accessible food, and the world will quickly delve into barbarism. Like a zombie apocalypse, but with fewer zombies. Players in this world will either be strong, obey the strong, or die. Death is not necessarily an escape either, since Clerics with Revive magic and Necromancers with Raise Dead spells exist now. Many characters will not find an escape from this hell. For some, death will be a luxury that they will never be able to afford.

This story is meant to be interactive. Readers can suggest video games for Redmaw to visit and gain benefits from.
Readers are encouraged to dig deeper into the story to unravel the mystery occurring behind the scenes, but it is NOT required. Not all portals Redmaw enters will be crucial to the story, but some of them are incredibly important for his future. <<less

Wang Jun, the 20 year old young man, had to work his bones and squeeze every last drop of his sweat just to provide the food on the table on a daily basis. One day, a Game Tester ad popped up in his email, offering 100.000 Yuan up front, and directly wired to the bank account of his choice.

Intrigued by the ad, Wang Jun did some research on the company that issued the ad, Seven Worlds. Ltd. Everything seems legit, he signed the contracts, he got the money and soon he was enrolled in the program along with other Testers from around the world.

Little did he know, the game was actually a world in multiverse, made by the Goddess of Joys and Happiness, who is very fond of Earthling's Cultures, especially anything regarding Cultivation and Taoism. Novels, Comics, Movies, you name it.

Her goal was to create a Supreme Being who can surpass any Gods in the infinite multiverse, even herself.

Alas, the Goddess sent Wang Jun's soul into the world and gave him the path that must be fulfilled. The Path Of Villain!

German text below / deutscher Text weiter unten... more>>

English synopsis:

When the nameless protagonist wakes up in an unknown world without memories being a slave to the Baron, a so called "Adventurer", is the least he expected. He soon finds out that "Adventurers" are players from another world, a "real" world somewhere out there, who have completed the video game that is this otherworld by slaying the final boss. However, the whole playerbase is still stuck in this game which they now have to call their new home. After the death of the great hero Arslan, the Godslayer, they split into two groups: The Heavenly Union in the west, which lives in harmony with the inhabitants of this world, and Carnifex in the east, which sees the NPCs as a means to an end for their ultimate goal.

When the Nameless is the only slave released from captivity he is willing to quest for gold to buy his friends free. He sets out on an adventure which might bring back his memories while at the same time making him the great new hero of this otherworld. Raiding bosses, leveling up and looting gear are all par for the course when uniting the players and NPCs alike to take another shot at killing this world's gods.

"I Woke Up In Another World As A Slave" is a debut web serial in the Isekai/LitRPG genre by two student buddies (IgLu Books) exploring class divide, comeradery and heroism in a player-run video game world long after the final boss has been slain.

English chapters come out every Tuesday and Friday at 6 p.m. CEST. German chapters release every 10 weeks in bulks of 20 (approximate chapter length 900-1100 words).

Deutsche Synopsis:

Als der namenlose Protagonist ohne Erinnerungen in einer unbekannten Welt aufwacht, ist das Letzte, was er erwartet hatte, dass er ein Sklave des Barons ist. Bald lernt er, dass sogenannte "Abenteurer" Spieler aus einer anderen Welt sind, einer "echten" Welt da draußen, die das Videospiel dieser Welt abgeschlossen haben, indem sie den Endboss besiegt haben. Die gesamte Spielergemeinschaft steckt jedoch immer noch in diesem Spiel fest, das sie nun ihr neues Zuhause nennen müssen. Nach dem Tod des großen Helden Arslan, des Gottesmörders, spalteten sich die Spieler in zwei Gruppen: Die Heavenly Union im Westen, die in Harmonie mit den Bewohnern dieser Welt lebt, und Carnifex im Osten, die die NPCs als Mittel zum Zweck für ihr ultimatives Ziel betrachtet.

Als der Namenslose der einzige befreite Sklave ist, ist er bereit, nach Gold zu suchen, um seine Freunde freizukaufen. Er begibt sich auf ein Abenteuer, das seine Erinnerungen zurückbringen könnte, während er gleichzeitig der große neue Held dieser anderen Welt werden könnte. Raidbosse, Level-Ups und Beute plündern gehören dazu, wenn es darum geht, Spieler und NPCs gleichermaßen zu vereinen, um einen weiteren Versuch zu unternehmen, die Götter dieser Welt zu töten.

"I Woke Up In Another World As A Slave" ist das Debüt-Web-Serial im Isekai/LitRPG-Genre von zwei Studentenfreunden (IgLu Books), das Klassenschranken, Kameradschaft und Heldentum in einer von Spielern betriebenen Videospielwelt erforscht, lange nachdem der Endboss besiegt wurde.

Englische Kapitel erscheinen jeden Dienstag und Freitag um 18 Uhr CEST. Alle 10 Wochen erscheinen 20 Kapitel auf deutsch (Ungefähre Kapitellänge 900-1100 Wörter). <<less
