The Flame Maiden Lito woke up from the altar, but everything around her had changed beyond recognition. She stood on the hot sand dune, her vision distorted by the scorching air. She couldn’t help but cover the sunlight with her hand, looking up at the sky, only to see a scene like sunrise, from the white horizon to the orange dome, but the difference was that instead of the original sun, there was a huge hole, shining with dazzling light, even as a god, Lito could not look at its existence directly. The appearance of this sun seemed to have changed the whole world, the original dense forest and green grassland had long turned into ashes, forming a series of undulating sand dunes, and the towering mountains, now became black and bald rock walls burned by fire, the sea no longer existed, the seawater had dried up, replaced by a piece of steep stone beach, extending from the original sea level to the bottomless place. The earth cracked, new creatures appeared, new dwellings were built, everything was fresh, or decayed, lifeless, no matter how different from the past, and now, Lito needed to reacquaint herself with this world.

Long ago, the Living Realm was filled with humans, Gods and Demons. This divinities protected all in a stable balance, but that was before the Awakening. On that terrible day, the world and the cycle of life was split apart by the hand of Apep, the ultimate creation of Ra.

Allison Fae is the new kid to Nasseu Middle School, and already she's got kids dying left and right! Okay, just left. One half of conjoined twins Rosemary and Josephine Higgins is the victim of an awful bashing-to-the-head that kids are getting so mixed up with today. A dark force takes intrigue in the itty-bitty human conflict that is definitely in no way, shape, or form related to the murder of that rich kid a few months before the start of school.

"Solve the murder, escape the darkness!" Issachar tells the children, and thus kickstarts an investigation into the darkest truths and lies about the kids at Nasseu Middle School.

Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel. Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of? The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters. There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak. So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain? So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.

Dune Evens is the son to the co creator of the biggest VR equipment in the world, the Full Body Diving VR Equipment. Even though many people believe he is a spoilt brat, and lucky for his life, Dune doesn't think that is the case. Due to an incident that happened years ago with his step mom and sister, Dune has been treated like he doesn't belong in his family. The one thing that makes Dune feel like his life has meaning is the game 'Hell's Gate Online'. This game is actually a VR game run by the same equipment his father made. In the game Dune is a Magic Weapon user, which is know as the worst class due to its difficult in having to use two abilities at once, magic and sword arts. A chance encounter with a certain person may be the thing dune needed to finally master this class. Follow Dune on his journey to become the most legendary player this game has ever seen.

My name is Keri Pryde, and I hope you don't think any less of me... Keri Pryde, a young 19 year old former boxer gets more than she bargained for after joining the Rachelle Institute Sorority house where she's forced to obey any order given to her by her seniors, no matter what! To refuse is to face expulsion, and with her career ruined after an unfortunate encounter with the nightmarish creatures known as skitters, that simply isn't an option. Little by little she's forced to face degradation and humiliation, until discovering the true meaning of love, romance, and the joys of submission. * This is a re-telling of my earlier work 'Prydes Submission' which is also available on Scribblehub. In this version I will be updating a lot of chapters, adding new scenes, and revisiting the characters so that one day I may be able to publish this work. My ultimate goal is to launch this on Kickstarter when it's fully complete, with some fun art illustrations added as well. Thank you so much for taking the time to read it, and I would greatly appreciate any notes or feedback. *Ultimately this is a strong-to-weak character kind of story, where the main character goes from being a strong self-confident person to a submissive character. *Will include dubious consent, adult situation, rough encounters, impregnation, and potentially slimes and tentacles ;)
