Virtual National Competition

Cloud raising is an emerging form of entertainment. It generally refers to people who are unable due to certain restrictions to raise cats, dogs, or other pets; instead, they engage in taking care of these pets remotely through the internet, thereby deriving psychological pleasure. During this nurturing process, they also feed or tip the pets, participating as though they truly owned the pet. However, professional player Chen Yan unwittingly played a game called 'Cloud Girlfriend Raising'. By feeding the cloud girlfriend or splurging on purchases, one could receive a 'tenfold cashback'. By raising affection levels, one could obtain various 'magical items' and even 'meet in reality'? It was supposed to be a lovely 'romance game', but... the unconventional Chen Yan turned it into a money-making game to fuel his business ventures. Chen Yan says, 'What's so good about having a girlfriend? Do they smell nice or are they soft to hug? How could that be more interesting than making money!' Meanwhile, the cloud girlfriend thinks... 'He put so much thought and so much money into surprising me; he must love me a lot...'

The world stood on the precipice of a technological revolution. It was a time when virtual reality had evolved to a point where it could no longer be distinguished from reality itself. Among all the games being released, one stood out from the rest: Nexon Online. With breathtaking graphics and mechanics, it easily dominated the rest with 50 million players worldwide. In the most immersive MMORPG ever created, the world is at war. Humanity struggles against the Demon Kingdom, ruled by seven fearsome monarchs, with no player or NPC strong enough to turn the tide. Amid the chaos, a young solo gamer joins the game late, far behind the competition. While exploring a hidden dungeon, he stumbles upon a rare rune that unlocks the Necromancer class, a path feared for its dark power. As a master of the undead, he quietly builds his strength. But the game’s dangers are more than just monsters and rival players—hidden truths about the world threaten to blur the lines between virtual and reality. As the war escalates, this lone Necromancer may become the key to humanity’s survival—or its ultimate downfall.

Burn the old world to the ground and rebuild it on their terms. At the forefront of this conflict, Bravo Squad stands as humanity's shield. Led by Captain Sohel Choudhury, callsign "Ghost," this elite unit faces a daunting task: unravel the NWO's plans before the world is plunged into World War IV. But trust is scarce, alliances are fickle, and the battlefield is no longer confined to nations—it’s everywhere. Victory isn’t guaranteed, but failure means the end of everything. — “If taking one life can save a thousand, we have to pull the trigger. If that one life is at the end of your barrel, and you won't be able to take the shot, leave this room right now. Because if you don't take the shot, your enemy will. And he won't hesitate. I assembled you here to win a war, not to turn all of you into cannon fodder.” Sohel took a deep breath and looked out over his squad. “Now, let me ask again, does anybody want to leave? Does anyone here think that he'd not be able to pull the trigger?” The room buzzed with one synchronized sound, “No, sir.”

Thus readers who like fast pace and very OP MC from start might dislike this novel. Reader can expect more macro economics than micro economics since this is building a kingdom/country instead of running a business. Also, MC will not have OP skill or ability but will balance it by making use of his knowledge and authority as a king. It is my first time ever to write a novel so to be honest, I use AI(GPT and Blackbox.io) to enhanced/rewrite my writing. However the idea, world building, concept and everything else is written by me and me alone. So reader who enjoy 100% Human work I am sorry to disappoint you, however I don't use AI by giving it idea prompt and copy pasting the result but I write on my own then I use AI to enhance my writing style and making it more enjoyable to read. Thus the writing may involved AI but it is 100% human idea and concept. Hope you enjoy!!!!
