I’ll send your father a letter of apology and end this engagement.” Aurora stood still for a moment, her eyes filled with pain before she whispered in a choked voice: “Don’t bother… I will send the letter to my family myself. And don’t worry, I won’t tell them that you were the one who wanted to end it.” She cast him one last broken glance before turning away, leaving behind nothing but the sound of her fading footsteps, her silent tears, and a shattered heart… A week passed.

Have you ever how the 'unique quest chains' are born, how 'mega-rare super-items' just drop out of thin air, and why every random minor character in the starting village is a hidden expert? I am the reason. I am the silently curshing ghost ofthe machine running cogs of 'secret quests', the plot-driving device of destiny, the shepherd to the millions of players that just KNOW that every stone holds a unique opportunity for loot, lore and skills. I am a sole Admin of the greatest DMMO-RPG, partialy AI and a man who holds the great responsibility overseeing the life of the game... With a slight problem though. The game was destroyed a week before it's start. Completely. So now there is no game. There are players, me and million of cheap tricks I honed in my life for the single goal of proving to all of you, that... This game definitely does exist. --- First of all, I post this book on my Patreon. 18 chapters of this book are there - for 3$ it's all yours... Though, of course, I will be posting it for free on this site too. Except I first post them on my Patreon - so now 1 chapter is here - and 19 are there. When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her.  The only questions that remains are, how will Raiten kill her?

God of Wonder, God of Light, father to the holy ones, and creator of life. Exalted above all things he and his angels were guardians of the universe. Or so they said.

But for a heavy price, they did. God of Wonder, God of Light. Who is holier? Who is right? God of Darkness, God of Night. Too afraid to rebel... though he might.
