"What are you willing to do to survive? What are you willing to Become?... more>>

When Earth gets pulled into an intergalactic game show, hosted and ran for the entertainment of a Sadistic, super-advanced Alien race, all sorts of "Monsters" begin to spawn on Earth.

By a twist of fate, when a Gargantuan Snake spawns in the middle of his room and swallows him whole, Jonah becomes the first casualty of this sick game.

A lot of people think about how they'd go about exploiting a system if they got transported into a game-like world. Others wish that they'd get transported to another world with a cheat and steamroll everything while living out their wildest dreams.... more>>

Can't say I didn't consider both. And I can't say that I didn't consider writing stories with those premises.

What I *can* say as that I sure as hell never expected to actually get tossed into that situation myself.

Dammit. I knew I shouldn't have written those LitRPG system notes... And what's the point of getting cheats if everyone has one and it's still just barely enough to get by?

Hopefully reading all those web novels in the past is enough to keep myself alive until I can figure out how the hell I got here...

It's a funny story about how this came to be. I have a good friend who is really into fanfiction, I'm a close friend of the family and my friends teenage daughter wrote herself into a web novel to come out to her parents. It's not posted anywhere because she is really shy, but she let me read it. I am a huge patron of the arts, so I was very moved by her whole story. I thought it was an amazing way to overcome the stressful issue of coming out to your parents. Ever since then she always complains how there are not enough decent girl/girl stories out there. So, I asked her to recommend a few to me she liked and tried to write this for her. I pulled a lot of inspiration from two of the stories that I enjoyed myself.

I don't really get it but it Looks like I got reincarnated into another world by Ashi and Boosted Restart by Teanam.
I thought both were great and I decided to try to write a story my friend would enjoy based on her and my tastes. I have a background in writing but nothing like this, so I decided to give it a try. It has been years since I have written anything and It's always important in the arts to try to break out of your comfort zone and try new things. I have already written over a hundred thousand words and just need to edit everything. So, although I pulled inspiration for a few facets make no mistake I have written my own story that I hope people will enjoy for years to come. <<less

I wondered. What if I were a character in that novel?... more>>

...hypothetically speaking, knowing it was me, I would probably be the one to die in the very first scenario.

Still, that didn't stop me from dreaming. And so that resulted in these very words being written down. Additionally, there was always a philosophy that I knew was impossible for everyone, but still wanted.

I wanted a happy ending.

Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing.... more>>

But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all?

Updates once or twice a day until the story hits the same chapter on all platforms.

----------------------------------------------

Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.

It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.

The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever?

- This story is told in third person, past tense.
- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.
- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.
- Book cover by Vixeona.

Cutting to Life is also being posted on RR, SPB and Tapas.

It’s 2843, humanity has fallen and only small pockets of survivors remain hidden in underground facilities. The apocalypse that occurred a hundred years ago left the Earth scarred and broken, with the surface becoming uninhabitable. This led to the creation of the E.H.S.A or Environmental Hazard Scavenger Armor by the survivors so the survivors can access the surface to find supplies or technology to recreate. It’s these scavengers’ job to help humanity reclaim the world. That was the premise of the new upcoming VRMMO game, Dust to Ashes by the recently founded Frontier Entertainment where you play as one of these survivors. The game didn’t really interest Colin Clark but when they offered to pay... more>> him to act as one of their secret player-controlled boss enemies, who wouldn’t accept? Especially when it allowed him to act on his childhood fantasies of being a mad scientist.

Celestial Elves, a race of Celestial beings, bargained with the world leaders of Earth to not destroy the planet if they could offer them an appreciable number of prisoners as compensation for not destroying their world.... more>>

The leaders gathered around and agreed to their terms. After all, what could be better than such a deal. These were just a bunch of cutthroat criminals and misfits.

A thorn to the society at large. The world leaders would be glad to let these bands of miscreants leave their homeland as soon as possible.

And so a deal was struck with the Celestial beings, with the inhabitants of the world at large oblivious to this knowledge except for the world leaders of course.

A total of 80,000 criminals charged with a death sentence would be enough to placate the Celestials urge for destruction.

And here’s where our protagonist comes into play.

Ace Tempest, an eighteen year old undergraduate, was incarcerated for the murder of his father who in turn was at fault for the domestic violence he implements while at home.

Thrown into a prison facility just like the rest of the criminals, Ace had no choice but to take part in this survival game where players who suffered in-game deaths would surely follow a similar fate in real life.

But that wasn't all, since the players were in another world, the inhabitants of Earth had already forgotten the players even existed. Now what will he do since both his mother and sister had forgotten all about him?

Will he strive to win the 1,000,000,000 dollar reward or will something totally unexpected occur to him in the game.

If you don't wanna miss it then come and join the fun. Thanks.

"Looks like I'll have to break my piggy bank containing my lifetime savings for this. Fair enough... God, I'm hungry. I gotta order something to eat."

He opened his wallet just to see nothing inside, he shook it and hoped that something would come out and what he had been hoping for came true!

"OH! A PIZZA MEAL VOUCHER!!" he dialed the number at breakneck speed as if his life depended on it.

15 minutes later... a 'Ding Dong!' sound could be heard as he ran over and saw the package he had been waiting for lying in front of his door.

"THE DELIVERY IS FASTER THAN THE PIZZA GUY?!"

...

While halfway from fully assembling the whole equipment... [ ACTIVATING SYSTEM! ] It wasn't that loud but with the element of surprise, it truly sounded deafening!

"HOLY F****** SH*T!" he was taken by surprise that his heart almost stopped, he blacked out and fell on the spot followed by a loud thud.

He woke up seeing the plain blue sky in front of him. He deduced that he had gotten a heart attack, and regretted not being able to eat the pizza before dying, until a dialogue box appeared asking for his in-game name.

In the XLVII century, a method was finally invented to remain in virtual reality indefinitely, and the first thing they plan to do with it is a game system that imitates, and perhaps surpasses, classic tabletop role-playing games.

It should be noted that in this work I will be faithful to everything that the role-playing games represent and in effect I will roleplay every action the characters take to determine their success or not. In a few words, NEVER EVEN I KNOW HOW IS GOING TO FINISH OR WHO WILL WIN.

Not sure where I can throw an authors note so I'll do it here.
Hi, I'm Jaz and I'm writing this book as I go with no plan or plot or editor! Thanks for putting up with me testing some new things for this book. The first two chapters are in third person but that isn't my style usually, I was trying to see if I could use third person but it felt uncomfortable so from chapter 3 I expect I'll be doing first person to make writing easier for me.

At any moment one of the characters could die, simple as. I don't plan on giving any character some 'immunity' to death.
Because I've not fully planned the story, some of the tags might change over time as I decide I can't add some specific aspects, one thing that won't change is the apocalyptic-survival elements.
As for crafting, I plan to make nearly 'method of production' be an aspect I will focus on, that means most forms of crafting with proper recipes which will stay pretty consistent. The characters who we will be watching will struggle and have to research and learn what they do and how to best use them. <<less

It is when these fleeting souls find themselves lingering in Limbo that they are greeted by a messenger in black, carrying an offer they cannot refuse. They can either let their soul continually erode until it diffuses into someplace else, or accept the offer, and regain a semblance of their life, with the opportunity to grasp a revival in full. Thus these individuals cross the threshold into the Tartarus Trials: a mysterious game where participants attempt to survive monsters, quests, and conflicts they once thought myth. All to earn... more>> back their lives, one deadly mission at a time.

For Damien Martins-- an office worker living a life of melancholy-- the choice was obvious. What was not, was how navigating the treacherous world he would be thrust into, would change him.
