I am Adam. This year i turned 28. Prety much going trough life without any goal or ambition. Going to work, then straight back home. Killing time playing videogames or watching movies. Occasionally going out with my only friend to chat and chill outside for a change. Prety boring life if you ask me. ... more>>

But that all changed. I am no longer the same person. I am not even on the same planet. Something happened and i am going to enjoy it.

No longer without a goal.
No longer boring stale life.

Michael Shagger is a 24-year-old man who aspires to be a shut-in. He hates people, loves games, anime, manga, light novels, and is a man of culture. Aspiring to travel to another world, he prayed for the trucks to guide him to one so he may enjoy life more. Sadly, that did not come true for some time, until he stubbed his toe.... more>>

Did you ever want to be an anime/JRPG protagonist who races on mountain roads for fun? No, no I didn't, and I wouldn't recommend it. I wish this was a joke, alas it's not. But because my life is a video game now, can I beat it?... more>>

I get sucked into a virtual Japanese light novel but the most interesting thing to do around here is race. The problem is that I'm driving a car that is thirty years behind everyone else's and the only way I can win is to gather all my money, wits, and talent to be the best.

This is the worst kind of video game, where the only enemies I have are just more annoying versions of myself. Other bored, prideful young adults who street race on the mountain passes. Well, Thomas Friedland is here to become the [Ultimate Racer]! <<less

Magnolia and her online friends are quite famous for their trysts in online gaming. Choosing to chase their dreams, all of them have given up plenty to get where they currently are at. Losing family, friends, loved ones, time, money, etc they earned a strong fanbase in their group channels. As time continued for these gamers, they carved out their career in becoming freelance beta testers.... more>>

With the ever growing community gradually encompassing the world, large companies have taken advantage of the game wave surge. VRGE, an alternative virtual reality game studio, cracked the code to virtual gaming that many other companies had failed to accomplish. While many companies had been able to tether hard helmets and backpacks to a person to walk through a 30 minute AVR experience, VRGE had been able to create a masterpiece. Their new game, Origin, did not require such things. All one needed was a manufacturer bed that hooked up into the computer mainframe. This mainframe then used brainwaves to affect the dreaming sequence of a sleeping person. While asleep, the person could play and still get the essential rest they needed. With the game making it’s debut, the company tracked all kinds of beta testers to run trials. And there were plenty of testers willing to try.

Eris woke up in a world of Clockwork with only two spells and no memories. Nobody did. Two months ago,
the system of AI's that... more>> made up the core of this VRMMO collapsed on themselves, and now the whole world was tearing at the seams.

The world used to be normal. The poor worked, tired, and slept. The rich laughed, drank, and slept. Whether you were a farmer, a warrior, or a mage, you knew your place in the world. You knew how to survive day by day as nations waged war and droughts destroyed crops. You kept your head down and prayed. Or you stood up and had your head cut down.
Until one day, God spoke.
[Your world will be tested.]
Towers rose from the depths of the earth, tall enough to pierce the skies.
100 floors. A single trial.
Power, fame, glory. All at your fingertips.
Monsters raged against villages. Storms descended upon cities.
The world changed.... more>> Life for many worsened.
But you had a chance. 100 floors. A single trial.
A chance to change everything.

The world of Prihor is home to many wonders, but many dangers as well. It is a world of swords and magic; a world of kings and dragons; a world of gods and demons. It has been nearly a thousand years since the last major conflict, since gods from other worlds brought their armies to conquer, since the bloody conflicts that lasted a hundred years and reshaped continents. Now, the inhabitants of Prihor, its children, must weather a trial that's not even meant for them.... more>>

This is my first time publishing a story online, so feedback is appreciated. It started as a group project inspired by Sword Art Online and Hunger Games, but the other authors lost interest and let me run with it.

In the year 2025, AMAZON MMORPG Online came out as the first full immersion gaming experience that took the virtual world by the storm.... more>>

The whole system of AMAZON is handled by the most advanced AI in the world: Aphion, the Goddess of Miracle. She also serves as the top tier NPC and the guardian of AMAZON. Aphion is helped by 12 sub-tiered God and Goddess NPC, who oversee AMAZON.

Being the first fully immersion MMORPG game and its ultra-realistic environment with magical quests and dragons made the players treat AMAZON as a second world. The game also has time-dilation rooms that helped the elite of the society to better manage their busy schedule. Shortly after AMAZON rose in popularity, the focus of various corporations and real-world powers were directed towards AMAZON. What once has started as a Mythical Fantasy world has turned a more cut-throat and divided planet of various superpowers of the real world. AMAZON now serves the whims and desires of big corporations as they hoard the game resources and in-game production lines making massive profits skinning the independent players to their bone.

Aphion has created various player quests, training opportunities, and resource competition to restrict the Super Guilds backed by real-life superpowers to monopolize the game resources. However, either with tempting offers or by force or coercion, one corporation or the other will swiftly annex the new player who stumbled upon a game opportunity into their ranks. The various Corporation couldn't help but laugh at Aphion's attempt to neutralize their powers. One such event that allows even a non-guild player to have the chance to receive a Divine-Rank artifact is the 'Ranker Tournament.'

Garuda, the pride of Independent players and the no.1 player on AMAZON has always been the thorn in the eyes of the various guilds. As Garuda was about to rise as the undisputed champion of AMAZON, he mysteriously vanished from AMAZON, his virtual ID never lit up to status online.

All hope is not lost, as Phoenix, a new character, was chosen to carry the undying flame of the Independent player pride.

However, Phoenix soon realized that all his gaming knowledge is for naught as he noticed the glitch in his character. Phoenix was unable to level up, to be stuck at Level 0. Forever. <<less

This is Saya's 20th attempted playthrough of this so-called game, "Lobel Academy's Tragedy", a survival-romance game in which any wrong step can lead to death. Which means Saya has died 19 times attempting to clear this game.

“Hello”
“Anyone there?”
"Mic Test, Mike Test"
"1,2,3" "1,2,3"
“Is this thing on?”

(“Yes it works fine”) a guy on the other side of the glass said.

“Ah. Okay”

(“Speak after the green signal”)
After a few seconds, the green light lit up, signifying the beginning.

“Hello young adventurer and welcome to the {CONTINENT}”

“The {CONTINENT} had led a peaceful era over a hundred years with it's neighboring races.”

“The dwarf forging weapons and accessories, the elves peacefully cultivating, nurturing nature with their magic being in one spirit with the trees, the siren calling and guiding travelers of the sea in exchange for a fee, amazon women hunting large boars to feast on with their villagers, large creatures big and small roam the earth blessing the territory they tread upon and humanity cooking their foods and going on with their daily lives just like their fellow races."

“But not all tranquility lasts forever. Where peace is abundant, there will be unrest.”

“The emergence of {CORRUPTION} made all the races fight against each other, causing turmoil, misunderstanding and agitation among fellow races. The fellow you meet on the journey today could become an enemy of tommorow.”

“With the looming threat from the deep abyss. You must become a fearless and brave warrior with enough resolve to defeat the {CORRUPTION} invading the peaceful countries of the {CONTINENT}”

“And free the races from suffering and despair and lead them to another peaceful era.”

“Join us”

“and set off on a wonderful adventure with friends to bring peace to the {CONTINENT}.”

“Kuromei Game”

“We welcome you to our wonderful Journey”

The green light fades away and I could hear the other side of glass.

("Alright, good work. That's it for today.")

Author's Note:
Upload schedule anyday or when I finished manually writing the chapter, Each chapter's word count up to 1000 less or more since these are concepts for the game genre.

Also if there's a lingering comedic spirit of a writer possessing me to write, then 3 chapters in one day.
Also, if I haven't uploaded anything. Either it means I am busy or just busy. I haven't even updated Guardian Tales Clap Clap for three years FA-

Please be patient with me. For the chapters. Implementing concepts properly takes time to mold from the parallel traversing result and write in the chapters and there's also my job.

I will update the published chapters to adjust to the things I've missed.
If there's a change. I'll comment the changes in the sub section or in the novel itself.

You could donate to my ko-fi or patreon by means of supporting the concepts. The concepts I create are for writers to adapt if they feel like it. Or implement in their own game. Do credit me by putting a mouse in it, ye? <<less

Luca Lawrence never, even in his wildest dreams, imagined dying at the age of 29. Not to mention being ruthlessly rejected by the Karmic Cycle of rebirth! On the brink of dissipation into nothingness, cursing at the faulty system, he could only grind his teeth and accept the challenge. Well, twenty-two, to be precise.
Facing these ruthless survival games, Luca will have to rely on his knowledge, craftiness, luck, and perhaps a few faithful encounters in order to ultimately grasp the End. However, when it comes to Samsara, the End is just another Beginning.... more>>

Monk Basher wasn't named by his parents. He was named by his godparents after his mother died after he was born and and his father was shot at a highway shooting while driving to the hospital.... more>>

At 14 his grandfather, who won his custody battle with no meaningful resistance from his godparents despite their fierce opposition when he was 6, died due to old age, leaving his parents somewhat hefty inheritance to him. Using his decent smarts and maybe a few legal loopholes, he was able to convince the courts that he was better left with full autonomy, and lived off of his inheritance until he could sustain himself as a content creator on multiple different platforms.

At the wise old age of 18, he was whisked away by a subgodiary to be given a realm and tasked with improving it, amongst thousands of others that he would probably never meet again. <<less

Siblings Casey and Derek are just adult gamers, trying to live a normal life while enjoying their favourite games. When they find that they have become hosts to a pair of systems and have to play games as tasked to them in the world of Shift, they're not very sure it's the best thing in the world. But they do know is that things have become a lot more interesting and fun.... more>>

Then the systems tell them that their lives are on the line and they can actually die if they lose. So while they run from people that want them to Game Over, the siblings don't forget to curse the systems and work together to get the Best Ending possible for this crazy game in Shift.

One summer day of 202x was marked as the day when hundreds of people disappeared from the face of the earth and thrown into a different world , but one similar to Earth.

Well... Maxon Cortez and Jason McGuire had the same thoughts too. Yet, fate has different plans for them: Max ends up in an eerie location he doesn’t recognize and Jace gets transported to an entirely different world that works like a video game (sort of) by walking into a portal.

As they travel along the lands, the two of them will encounter other individuals of many kinds, make friends new and old, gain powerful abilities, experience spectacular adventures, and obtain priceless treasures. However, Maxon and Jason will unknowingly become integral parts of a nefarious conspiracy that, if successful, will plunge both of their worlds into eternal chaos and darkness. So it’s up to them and their allies to thwart it.

Sidenote: I’ll admit right off the bat that this story will be my first attempt at writing a LitRPG, so the in-game mechanics and terminology will probably look weird and be even nonsensical. If you notice something that’s out-of-place or just flat out wrong, I apologize. Not only that, it's been a while since I've wrote anything and thus I'm a little bit rusty. So please bear with me.

New chapters once every Saturday or Sunday. Also, I'll be fine-tuning the grammar, punctuation, and spelling when I have the time. So expect a lot of random edits.

This story is now available on Royal Road.
