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

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.

Story in hiatus as of right now due to editing.

Phew... I thought Shesmu MC will be gone... 😱
Never in the f*ckin' way. 😤

It's a fight that I just added to the story. It wasn't in the original version

Okay, I shared with you in my last post my concerns on not being able to share with you my character art due to WebNovel limitations. The solution you guys came up with was to have a discord channel. Brilliant. The thing is I do have a discord channel, it's just kinda dead. So, here I am trying to breathe some life into it. You guys can come and hang out with me there, play some games together or something (I'm actually pretty chill, believe it or not). There is also a theory discussion channel if you guys are interested in that.


The story talks about Mark who went back to the past with no will of his own. This put him in a very weird and desperate position as every friend he had or connection he made was now gone. However, even with that, he could not hide the joy in his heart. Now that he came back to past, he could correct his past regrets and be the best. He was one of the best players in the past, and now he will be the best, with no one above him. However, as if by a joke of destiny, the reflexes and mechanics he cultivated throughout ten years have been stripped from him. Anguished by this setback, Mark went into a depressive bout. However, he pushed through and swore that even with every odd against him, he will still become the strongest.

This is a story about a man facing his destiny, and I cant wait for its update.

This review is part of a review swap and valid as of chapter 16.

So this is litrpg, labelled as video games here. Still litrpg. In this case the video game label makes sense, because we're not talking transported / reincarnated into a game world. The main character gets timeslipped from his pro-gaming days into his not so pro past and decides to pick up the game again.

And that's basically the premise for the story. At chapter 16 we've barely scratched the surface of the story. Deciding to pick up the game has progressed into relearning the game from scratch with a decent batch of advantages from having played it before?

Did that make any sense?

Well, it's litrpg after all. Our main char drops from level hysterically OP to creating a new avatar. There's, mildly put, a difference in ability in-game. Anything that should normally belong to the daily grind becomes insta-death.

At chapter 16 the characters in the story are just embarking on their very first adventure, and they've encountered a set-back.

While litrpg isn't my cup of tea the story told here is good. If you're into reading status displays inlined in the text then you should read this one.

If you're needing your fix of godlike superpowered character from day one, stay away.

Now for the stars.

Writing: Five stars that should be four and a half. Reccuring instability in the departement of past and present tense detracts a little from the reading experience.

Updates: Five stars. It says STABILITY of updates, not update as often as possible. This one's stable, but expect a character every second day or so.

Story: Five stars. Background, start of the hero's journey, the first decision. Not much to say.

Character: Five stars. For obvious reasons you'll get forcefed with atrificial attributes -- this is litrpg after all.

World: Four stars. Probably a solid five stars another twenty chapters into the story, but right now there's simply too little world. While I agree with the choises made by the author, splitting the beginning of the story into three distinctly different settings carves up the already small world in even smaller chunks.

I don't do litrpg. I have read a few, and this one starts out as one of the top three I've seen. Make of that what you want. I've only read some twenty odd stories in this genre.

This story is great. I absolutely love and adore the writing style, characters and how the author makes the book feel so... good, I guess.

I would rate it a 5Star if the stability had been better, and a little more introduced into the story. But that’s that and this is this. This story is losing a lot of potential viewers and fans because of the fact that many reviews are not as positive as mine. Just give it a chance, please.

An interesting and promising start. The video game described seems a bit unlike most, with Swordsmen cultivating Ki. Excited to see more, so please keep them chapters coming! 

Since i love the genre i have to give it 5 stars, plus it is being well written for my taste.
I like how he reacts tp what happened, well also hope he goes around and beats old rivals while he is ahead and just gets more ahead hehehe would be fun

Overall I enjoyed the story at first but the whole demons are going to take over the earth in the future thing was just a giant turn off for me to be honest. When I first got into this book I expected it to be centered around the game not some bull**** demons invading the world. Not to mention the way the 2 who are transported back are introduced is just obnoxious in and of itself. You would think the 2 would have atleast some sort of training with them being previously a part of a post apocalyptic world even if they are among the weakest of the human race at that time but they could barely even fight a fodder the game throws at them. And how would they even afford to buy the game itself since the money at the time of the apocalypse would’ve been rendered obsolete and they would’ve likely switched it out for a new form of currency.

Just author shamelessly giving myself five stars. But hey, the grammar is good, the battles are satisfying, the characters aren't dumb. What do you more from a novel in WN?

I have been reading this novel the past week and i really like it so far. It takes the common reincarnation trope albeit with a small twist. He doesn't reincarnate due to betrayal - though so far we don't exactly know why he reincarnated. Which leads me to my next point: These chapters dont feel like some filler chapters where the MC just does things and the author comes up with the story as he writes. There are some mysteries and open questions that will (hopefully) get answered further down the line. This leaves me wanting for more.  

The only reason this story has not full 5 stars in every category is that there is not much story yet as the author adapted a rather slow pace. We are still in the early stages of the game and novel itself - in the tutorial. The same reason for World Background as we simply dont know much about the world our characters reside in.  

Conclusion: Characters make sense and dont feel like puppets to drive the plot. Pace is slow but consistent and updates are stable. The writing is clean and manages to hook me. Every chapter leaves me wanting for more while not every chapter is a blantant and unnecessary cliffhanger.

I've only read chapter one, because I'm tired of game novels, but I have to say, the grammar on this is excellent, I'm 1uite surprised this is even on WN. The battle on the first chapter is well described and exciting to read. Good luck with the rest of the novel, Shesmu 😀

At first I thought it was good but the development started becoming boring. The quality is well I wont be harsh just read more english books. The updates arent stable. The character's characteristics contradicts itself. A few twitching and it will be a decent story.

Really great book. I nice spin on RSSG from a new author. Has lots of details that enhance the reading experience. Uses science to further improve the virtual reality possibilities. Keep it up!


Interesting and so far enjoyable story whose premise is very similar to RSSG. However although it is somewhat early to tell, i much prefer the style and content of this tale to that stilted, repetitive story. This author shows the mechanical effects of the game system, instead of explaining it blandly. Good start! Hopefully will become a favourite. 

Very interesting, I'm surprised with author's creativity. Anyone should give it a go before judging it. I promised you won't regret trying it.



Honestly, can't find anything wrong with this. Writing is great. Stability is very consistent. Characters are realistic. The background is not a lot, but not too little. 

Problem is the power scaling of the MC. If the MC isn't streamrolling a majority of his opponents, then this isn't a logical or fun story, just a forced plot. 

1. Top tier player, went back in time. Already fat advantage. 
2. Noble birth, another advantage. 
3. Knowledge of fighting techniques, another advantage. 
4. Knowledge of hidden quests and places and whatnot, another fat advantage. 

You could have any one of these advantages and you'd be a strong player. Now, with all of them combined, the MC should be absolutely bodying, every single one of his opponents. From what I've read so far from the comments and replies by the author, the story seems to be heading towards a "strong to stronger" type. Not just straight-up overpowered. 

"Sure but where's the story then?" What about romance? Meeting up with friends again? Flexing on noobs? 

I admit I like Gary Stu plot. Sure, it's lame, but it's fun for me and that's exactly why I tried out this novel. 

"Wrong place then for such a story," you say? 

Lmfao, look at the 4 reasons above why I thought it was a Gary Stu in the first place. 

But good story overall. Also, too slow-paced for my liking.

Really love the characters heartwarming bros excellent writing and character development in my mind really love this thanks a ton author a must read if you enjoy game reincarnation novels

This is good. I can only hope that this will not be dropped. I enjoyed these 6 chapters and I'm waiting for more. 3 chapters/ week, I can deal with this.

Writing Quality: Is okay, sometimes it is pretty hard to read and you have to re-read the paragraph to get the meaning. Uses the same world a lot and doesn't use synonymous words. But is OK compared to some MTL trash-quality that I have seen on this site.
  
Updates: Fairly frequent, sometimes he has a month that he writes every day, sometimes he takes a break of 2 weeks up to 1 month.

Story Development: I read up to chapter 10-ish (don't read my reading status, fool you). I don't remember too well about this story since I did my review back then and got deleted, so I'm writing it again.
This story is SLOW AS HELL. Ten chapters in and he didn't do jack ****, only:
+ took five hs to make his character when is usually made in 5 minutes.
+ wander in the tutorial zone
+ found his friends and repeated exactly what they told the reader 1 chapter ago.

And the dude is still in the tutorial taking his time scrolling like he is some hobo. Dude, you have ten years of quest experience in your mind, don't you know there are unique non-repeatible  quest? Don't you have fear that people will find them before you? Not even a shadow of doubt cross his mind, he's chatting while drinking coffee while spoon feeding basic information to his noobs friends.

Character: Delusional of grandiose, stupid, and illogical at times. He has red eyes and blond hair (I think), and so he's instantly noble? Ok...If that was the case he would be detained and question his precedence, since there are not many nobles. He could tell his dears noobs friends to delete the character and make it again, or even better! call them before he started up the game...but no, no mention of that. He thinks he's better than anyone only because he knows the future :facepalm:...

World Background: A system where the IA can make its own choices and decide where a player can take 5 hours making a character where other people has a few minutes. Not fair and non-sense. They knew each other for a few minutes, and she's going to give that huge advantage to him? No logical there.

So for all that is said, is 2/5 stars. I will back up my review since "the system" purge novels it seems. 14/06/2019

******************************** Good work! ******************************************
***************************** And i need more! ***************************************


promising start, would love to see how the main character develop and build his avatar. maybe getting or founding a new/hidden power bypassing his old self

This novel is worth picking up! Definitely not your basic gaming novel you are use to reading because MC actually have useful people to in his team. The author really takes his time in describing the world setting, the story is smooth to read, the plot is organize as well as making sense, and the pacing or growth of the MC is steady however he will grow stronger due to his gaming experiences. So far no romance but there are love interest.
