What defines endgame content? Is it raiding epic dungeons to take down the strongest bosses there are, or is it facing off against other players to climb the ladder and become the top PvPer? Is endgame content gathering materials and crafting the strongest and most exotic equipment that there is, or is it all about playing the market and amassing more wealth than everybody else? Some people even argue that fashion and minigames are endgame content!... more>>

Ryouta has already done all of that. Having spent most of his life playing MMO after MMO, he now finds himself wanting to live a virtual life that is far more relaxed and casual than what he is known for.

To Ryouta, the true endgame is fishing.

This was my first “big” story on the site where it was originally posted, and it does have some problems, but I’ve decided to bring it over since it’s my longest-running story! I hope you enjoy it. <<less

In the largest virtual reality game in history, Mark was a king. His team? Unstoppable. They were heroes even among other pros.... more>>

But the game changed. The government—for their own political gains—made a mess of everything Team Black Moon worked so hard to perfect. Ten years of their lives were spent playing Ashes of God. Still, Mark and his friends found themselves obsolete—forgotten.

Then time itself forgot. Mark wakes up, 10 years ago.

He’s never met his lover. He’s never played Ashes of God. Mark’s friends don’t even know his face. But he’ll find them. With his knowledge and skills, they’ll rise higher than ever. Mark will not be forgotten.

This time, they’ll be the ones who change the game.

In 2042, the Virtual Reality game Epoch of Liberty (EoL) is a worldwide phenomenon, with a player base of 500 million and an in-game economy comparable to Russia.... more>>

Mahn Li, the top player of the guild Scourge, was betrayed by his closest friend Fatty Fu - murdered in the real world. The in-game business was tied with the real-world business. And business, as they say, was war. Mahn Li was simply another casualty…

… Until he inexplicably woke up in the body of his 22-year-old self - one week before EoL went live.

"Is this my second chance?" He asked himself: "What should I do?"

"Should I find a job? A real one? Be a good, productive member of society? Live a meaningful life? Forget about the 10 years of my life lost in endless battles in a virtual world?"

"F*CK THAT!!!"

"I’m gonna wreck all the bastards responsible for my death! And Fatty Fu! Wait until I get my hands on your slimy neck!"

Aiding Mahn Li on his quest for vengeance is his knowledge of the future. Using it, he will get the sickest, baddest gears in the game! The most powerful of them all is an artifact that is a little bit out of place in this fantasy-themed game.

A gun. <<less

By the year 20XX, VR technology had sufficiently developed to become mainstream, as well as fix many of the movement issues that existed in its early games. However the price was still far beyond affordable, so the games that came to thrive on the system were naturally the ones with the most longevity of play - MMORPGs. Amongst the different VRMMOs on the market, although the MMORPG game “LOGIK Online” wasn't the biggest or fanciest, it gained a foothold with its passionate recurrent userbase and some unique gimmicks.... more>>

Please note: Published Daily... more>>

Welcome dear friends, to the Virtual Reality Full Immersion System called Bookworld Online!

This is your chance to live the lives of your favorite characters from your favorite stories. Not only can you complete the stories as they exist and live the actual life the character lived, you can also diverge from the known canon of information and forge a new path for your favorite character to follow.

I know this sounds too good to be true, and in some respects it is. You will only be given choices during key moments and not on a constant basis, since our computers can only handle so many requests at one time. Some scenes and actions are done by default in order to keep the narrative going... however... if you diverge too far from the normal story lines or choose an original story based on the characters and their lives, then the process can become even more exciting for you, the player.

So, will you relive what you know and only change a single moment or will you branch out on your own and see what our team of writers can come up with for you to experience?

It is all up to you! <<less

This is the story of two worlds. One is known as 'real' and the other as 'virtual.' But let the question be explored: What is reality to you?... more>>

Synopsis:

In a future of corporate rule, virtual technology and physical-derived coding have become the norm. With technology advancing at an alarming rate, the CEO of one such corporation, Shinji Takamura, discovers a code derived from the world itself. He dubs it: The Universal Code. After implementation, Takamura accesses a world that feels as real as his own.

Following his death, the three largest tech companies unite to finish the ultimate virtual reality game: Puzzle and Dragons World. The closed LAN Beta Test is ready to admit the best Players of the original Puzzle and Dragons.

Ray Andylon is one of these few chosen to test the new virtual game. But Ray and the other Players soon find themselves questioning the world's reality. War looms as the malicious agendas of enemy Players and monsters are revealed. And in the real world, conspiracies unfold that could threaten both worlds.

Note: This story is not a typical fanfiction. It is mainly an authentic work. This story only uses some monster names/appearances, names of locations and the orb-matching strategy combat system from the app game "Puzzle and Dragons" on android/ios developed by Gungho. The rest is original, which means prior knowledge for readers is not required. The app game has no plot, and this story has no relation whatsoever to the anime aired starting in 2016. The original goal was to create a story using these monsters, giving them personalities and purposes beyond just images and stats. <<less
