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.

In a modern world where magic and status boards exist, twenty-three-year-old S-Class Archmagus Aria Saciustrum found herself in the morbid situation of joining her country’s own Dungeon Dive expedition. A researcher at heart, Aria didn’t like the idea of slogging away in the dirty depths of the petrifying dungeons that spawned all over the world.... more>>

However, her scientific mind trumped her own feelings, and she forced herself to join her country’s first S-Class Dungeon Dive. The allure of finding a treasure or a discovery that could shake the foundations of human society was too enticing to just walk away.

So… Aria dived deep into the Dungeon, alongside her friend the S-Class Healer Yvette, and yes, her efforts had paid off. The S-Class party did manage to find a groundbreaking discovery. One that would shake the foundations of the world and would haunt the nightmares of everyone living on Planet Earth.

God, Jesus, Heavenly Father and Son, The Holy Ghost, The Holy Spirit, The Father of All Creation. He has many names, but the truth is that neither he nor his words ever change, nor does the fact that he holds all power and all glory. He is eternity and indestructibility...... more>>

An untraceable amount of time ago he and two of his oldest creations, Lilith and Eden, departed from The Heavenly Realm and were never heard from again. Even though this was the case the Heavenly Realm remained calm as all Humana who had ascended to this Realm after death were now free of all sinful desires and lived for one another and the Glory of God. And even the Deavaum who lived in this Realm didn't dare to try anything due to both the Angels who continued to faithfully pursue their duties and The Ancient Codex.

They left behind, The Ancient Codex and a piece of each of their wills which crossed through the cycle of space and time, fusing with three souls which would be born into the Human Realm or "The Universe" in the future.

These beings became unsurpassable in the Universe, one became it's very the core, another the protector of all innocent and oppressor of all evil, and the third .

Basil "Baze" Ezekiel Ambrose and Primrose Correigna Diaos are descended from two of these beings and their mothers are The Mother Earth Gaia and Aphrodite respectively.

Wen Liang is a forensic anthropologist (professor and working in museums) who lives in Hong Kong and is obsessed with his work, yes, he is a Workaholic. He has been a lonely person since his parents died, and he isn’t interested in maintaining long-lasting relationships.... more>>

When he was a kid he loved a series of criminal investigations what as going on in England, that he is a fan of a forensic investigator in Charleston County, it was at that time that he was inspired and eventually loved career as a forensic anthropologist.

The name of the series is "Archived Cases of the United Kingdom," which was told in the noir style, with that somber air and background music that gets on the nerves.

So one fine day after going to sleep, he woke up in a very cold forest and clearly not in China anymore, still wearing his favorite pajamas, he just didn’t understand what was happening.

Until he finally found a road and a local cop helped him to go somewhere safe.

Finally, he realized, after not being able to understand the police officer because he spoke a different language, that he was in a world totally different from his, or at least, he was no longer in China.

Edmund Lockwood is a forensic investigator for 10 years, is now 35 years old and remains single, always worried about his work and a little disillusioned by life, until he is in charge of helping this mysterious man who, according to documentary records, doesn’t exist in this world, which can be a case of human trafficking or identity exchange.

As the investigation unfolds, Edmund was responsible for helping this mysterious man adapt to Charleston and assist in his investigation, since Edmund Lockwood was one of the few people Mandarin-speaking in the police office, of course, besides the interpreter.

Wen Liang doesn’t believe that really he entered the world of his favorite series! And he's living with his favorite character, the wonderful, handsome Edmund!

A world similar to his original world, but at the same time was very different, especially when Wen Liang discovers the secret of his idol... Edmund is not human! Edmund is from the race called Shadow!

This was strange but even stranger than discovering that his favorite character is not human is finding out that he is attracted to this supernatural being!

Things only get worse when a terrible crime takes place in the village of Charlene and Edmund has to travel to the small village to help investigate the crime, leading Wen Liang along with him, unfortunately, discovered that the murdered victim is a Shadow of an aristocratic family.

Was there any organization hunting the Shadows?

Does this have anything to do with the transmigration of Wen Liang?

What is this legend of the east dragon that came into the world to free the sons of the serpent god?

Wen Liang just wants to return to his original and normal world! <<less

Red. Orange. Yellow. Green. Blue.These are the five basic colors of the world and everything in it. With the five colors, five races of people were born with their respective colors and created their own nations. The world was separated, where only people with the same skin color can live in the same environment that has the same color. For example, the Red People live in the Red Continent, full of volcanoes and red trees, red animals, you name it.... more>>

That was the truth until the Pluvians were born, the children of people who intermixed with other races. They were hated by everyone for their impurity, until all Pluvians gathered and created their own nation. They became the greatest nation in the world of Ark, conquering plots of land from each color except for the feared red Crimson Empire, who almost made the Orange people extinct and made them their slaves.

This is the story of Celosia Velvet, a young teenage Crimson girl; Chroma Scarlet, the prince of the Empire; and their friends who are preparing to do their rite of passage into adulthood: to travel the entire red lands. It was okay until they were saved by a Pluvian huntress, Prism, from an attack by a monster. Because of some chain of events, Prism was forced to accompany the Crimson teens in their journey, along with an Orange slave. Will Celosia, a believer of the purity of the races, be able to tolerate the disgusting mixed-skinned Prism and the Orange slave? Will her other friends continue to tolerate her racism? What is Prism doing in the Crimson Empire in the first place?

Explore the beautiful world of Ark, filled with majestic creatures and numerous cultures. Join their adventures as they learn the epic magic and arts they use to slaughter large beasts and rebels. See the developments between the four teenagers who have very different views on how to act towards people of other colors as they grow from the encounters they have along the road.

In the Great Archipelago, centuries of religious and ethnic war have devastated the islands of humanity. Fayola is a priestess from a small peace-loving village, but there are deep anxieties about violence spilling over from the neighboring islands. One day her Blessing (or curse?) awakens — the ability to appear in others' dreams. Every night, she finds herself in a stranger's bed, oftentimes a foreigner with deeply engrained hatred and animosity towards her people. Disturbingly, they often devolve into lecherous one night stands and intense wet dreams. ... more>>

As she struggles to process the meaning of her dreams, their purpose, and their burdens, Fayola must reconcile her faith and the strange curse-like "Blessing" that she never wanted. Perhaps sexual intimacy is an opportunity for greater communication and dialogue? Fayola isn't sure, but like it or not, she can't escape from her fate.
