But in an unfortunate turn of events, Milya was caught in the act and was beaten up by the shop owners she stole from. However, what the owners didn't realize was that she managed to keep what she really came to steal and they have retrieved the wrong item.

A Game. An obsession. A desire to protect.
But is that it?
Due to a meteor crash and a couple of wars, Earth ruptured. New continents were created, new countries formed. But, the problem of unemployment doesn't really go away if half the world is restructured does it? So what does the world do? Create a plan that allows people to earn money by playing games. Yeah, no way that exists. Right?... more>>

Vernon Elroy is a genetical theorist, a job that involves upgrading human genes. He's been living a nice life, though due to some troublesome problems, he is forced to take a month long leave. But, when an old acquaintance appears inside the most anticipated game of the century, he can't stop himself from pursuing her.

Integration is hot new game on the market, featuring thousands of different concepts, with a state of the level AI and graphics that look similar if not better to real life. The NPC's behave more like humans than they themselves and the enemies include everything imaginable. But is it really so perfect? How so?

Join Vernon on his quest through 'Integration' to get some personal answers, even if it means doing things he never thought he would do, like braving the winds and smashing a building. Along the way though, he starts to wonder if the game is truly a game and not something much more...

After a particularly bad flu, Likah... more>> sank deep into a comatose sleep, filled with dreams, both good and bad. Her mom, dad, and brother, filled with worry and longing, searched days, nights, Heaven and Hell for a way to wake her up, but in the end, it was all for naught. Five years, their hope dwindled. Five years, their beloved daughter and sister was stuck in a state of Limbo. Five years, all light must wane. But even then, something remained.
The development of the Dream Catcher, inovated by the greatest minds of the century in the technology and biology sector, gave the speck of dwindling ember the fuel it needed. Even if she wouldn't be able to meet them out in the real world, a simulated reality was not out of the question, right? <<less

Coven Online was everything Kyle dreamed of - a gateway to a virtual realm where all his desires and fantasies could come true... but not everything was as it seemed.... more>>

The NPCs seem a little too lifelike, for one thing. Fearing a plot to shut them down, a gorgeous NPC enlists Kyle in a quest to create a bridge between her game reality and his own.

Instead, he finds himself trapped in Coven Online's medieval world, and if he wants to survive, he'll have to adapt quickly to his new quest-filled, stat-driven existence. <<less

When Kyle signed onto Pelnorah Online, the peak of realistic gaming, he would have never expected to be trapped inside it.

This is a passion project, and an attempt from me to actually follow through with a story. While I will write it the best I can, it will be minimally edited (grammar and spelling errors being the main focus.) Along with that, I won't have a set release schedule. <<less

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

"Not all professionals become the strongest. Sometimes, they are much weaker than one might think." - Daren Ravensburg
A game that attracts prima donnas for... more>> some people. Stunning trailers, an interesting game to try and a variety of characters to customize to your heart's content. A game that looks simple and can be enjoyed by many people.
Game developer "Alvarest Game", Skynet Foundation created a simple virtual game, not only from fighting games, however they can play many games. In fact, they can play chess like a royal commander.
However, after entering the game, all the rottenness was clearly visible. Many bugs that cause players can not exit the game. As a result, there was a lot of panic that occurred after 600 thousand players were trapped in the virtual game.
Everyone is asking the Skynet Foundation for bringing them into such danger. No response, Skynet Foundation can't fix the bug because it's been installed permanently. So, they had to make a final choice to escape the virtual game.
In order to escape the game, they had to level up as much as possible in order to make it possible to escape from there. The higher the level reached, the more chances to survive and get out of the deadly game.
However, the problem is only one, they can't die in the real world. Once killed, they had to restart the level from the beginning. It was quite annoying for those who had painstakingly accumulated experience in the game.
Told, a man with two women who get a mutual agreement, Daren Ravensburg will raise the level in order to survive at once. <<less

Invited to this world by Eve, the overseer and an AI light-years greater than any that came before her, Declan was given a choice. ... more>>

Volume 1: Prologue to Adventure is now out on Amazon in Ebook and Audiobook!

Amazon Summary:

An intelligent young man embarks on an epic journey through a virtual world in the first volume of this near-future fantasy/adventure series.

Declan has never cared much for VRMMO games. No matter how many times his best friend, Matt, has urged him to get into the latest craze and escape the monotony of their broken-down reality, he always finds something about the build or the engine that drives him crazy. But when an AI hacks into his Somatic Implant and invites him into a secret virtual world, he can’t resist the chance to explore.

The lush, post-apocalyptic landscape of Gaia is unlike any simulation Declan has ever encountered, and it’s only the gateway to the even grander and more realistic world known as Indiri. Soon, Declan and Matt are going on wild quests as their avatars—Dustin the Magic Myconid and Noam the Tiefling Bard—navigating a world of travelers and fighters to make their way to Indiri’s high-fantasy lands.

But Declan’s journey isn’t always smooth. And as he encounters digital gods, dangerous guilds, and powerful forces attempting to use him as a pawn, he must learn to forge his own path . . . or risk becoming an NPC in his own life.

Prologue to Adventure is an explosive start to an intricately plotted fantasy series filled with heart-pounding adventure and enchanting characters
