《Nirvana》Visiting the Adventure Guild
Advertisement
Not too many people believed in her words. Most of the world was still skeptical.
Emile had his coffee dripping onto the floor. He spilled his coffee while watching the live stream. He knew the consequences of this and had no way to stop it.
If the world learned to use skills in real-life, then many problems will occur. The government needed to stop them.
Emile didn't know the government had agreed to allow this decision. They wanted more people to become a Nirvanic since it had many benefits.
The government understood that few people would believe their words. But they would believe other people who post stuff about using elements. They need the public to test out what they said.
These people would gain the Nirvanic System and purchase a skill system. They would gain the nutrients for that element after they get the system.
Then those people would try the skills in real-life to prove that the people were wrong. When they use the designated skill they learned from the game in real-life, then they will believe in the words of the video.
When one person gets an ability, another person would want to get it. This would continue until there was a frenzy for these abilities.
This became a waiting period for the governments. They couldn't speed up the process unless they did more live shows about using abilities.
No one trusted other people's words unless that person was close to them.
They opened the game servers once more.
Emile logged on with a stifling feeling. Emile appeared in the city. He saw his friends log in.
"Hey, Emile you have the Nirvanic System," Handsomest Crab said.
He heard Emile's name when the person was speaking about people having the Nirvanic System.
"Yes," Emile didn't want to lie about it. When the Handsomest Crab figures out the Nirvanic System's function, then he would realize that Emile had lied to him.
Emile had shown off his skills to them so he could connect the dots.
"So can you use the skills in real-life," He continued the questioning.

"... Yes." Emile paused and spoke the truth.
"Why did you never... oh I know why? The more people that know, the more likely it is for a person to spill the truth." The Handsomest Crab wanted to question Emile about this but understood why he never told him about it.
"I activated the system and need 100 silver coins. So I will go get money. Peace." The Handsomest Crab replied before leaving.
Emile thought he would ask for money. He didn't, which surprised Emile.
Players throughout the game world were activating the Nirvanic System with caution. They couldn't disprove their claims.
Not too many players had 100 silver coins. Only a few bought the skill system. Some were just gullible and others didn't care about their wealth so they bought the skill system.
The time it required for people to get the nutrients were 6 hours.
They had to wait 6 hours before they could learn anything. During this time they could try to get skill points for their element. Some got the skill points to learn a skill. Even if all the information they mentioned was fake, they could get a skill system that had many skills. They would have an edge over other players.
Emile worried about this. He didn't know how to stop this from occurring. He calmed himself down before exploring the city.
As he started walking a system notification occurred.
[The Water Skill system has been discovered inside the user's body. Sending nutrients to the body]
Emile hadn't activated the nutrient sending function for water. The game now had an automatic feature to give nutrients to the body.
Emile didn't stop this since he wanted the nutrients to cast water abilities in the real world. He wanted to protect himself against people who used their powers with no care.
[There are 6 hours left before all the nutrients enter the body]
They sped up the process of gaining nutrients. They couldn't make it instantaneous because people could die from the intake of too many nutrients.
The government made it 6 hours for a smooth slow process in which the nutrients could enter the body with ease. Only newborns and old people would have problems when taking this amount of nutrients.

They banned any person under the age of 8 to play Nirvana. The age limit was set at 102. Most of the world could play the game.
Emile walked to a stranger.
"Hello, do you know where to find the Adventure Guild," Emile asked a nearby stranger.
Emile wanted to test out how good his pioneer title was. Emile noticed that only three titles could be equipped at a time.
He had two titles now.
"Let's see... If you head that way and take a left on the second street, you'll see a giant sign saying adventure guild. That's where you can find the guild," The man said.
He was kind.
Emile thanked him before walking past the many lamposts that were not lit up. It was the morning of Monday.
His university was closed on this day for unknown reasons. It was most likely for the announcement that was made earlier on.
All the schools were closed due to this. Even the online ones which were a recent trend that was catching on.
They were all forced to close which didn't cause too many problems throughout the world.
Emile walked on the solid concrete floor until he reached the first crossroad. He could continue going forward or take a left or right.
Emile followed the man's instructions and walked forward.
After more walking, he saw the second crossroad and took a left. The adventure guild's sign was gigantic. It was plastered onto the side of a building with a lot of windows. He entered the building a saw many people sitting around in the lounge.
Emile also saw a reception desk. There was a lady wearing glasses who sat inside the desk. She seemed busy typing stuff onto a computer.
Emile didn't want to bother her and asked one of the people who was sitting in the lounge.
"Where can I find some quests," Emile asked.
"Quests... what's that?" One person asked.
"I'm guessing you're referring to missions." The man continued without making fun of his word usage.
"The missions are on the menu of your id." The man said with patience.
"What id?" Emile asked not sure about what that was.
"You haven't registered yet?" The man understood why he didn't know many things.
"My name is William. I'll help you register." He said after understanding Emile's circumstances.
"Thank you, William," Emile said.
William walked to the lady who was busy on her computer.
"Hey, someone else wants to join your guild. Give him his ID." William spoke rudely.
"You know If you keep showing me that attitude, I'll kick you out of my guild," she said without batting an eye at him.
"You always say that but never actually kick me out," William said.
"Now help this guy." He continued.
"All right," she switched to another tab before typing more.
She opened up a page to store other people's data in.
"Tell me what you would like to register by?" She started asking questions.
"Mystical Flame," Emile responded.
She typed his name into an empty spot.
"What class do you have?"
"I don't have a class, yet," Emile said while feeling embarrassed.
"I'll give you a tip. No party would want you if you don't have a class. They'll think you're useless since you couldn't even get a class." The lady gave him some advice.
"Woah, I've never seen you help out a newbie before," William spoke.
"The kid's a bit special." She peered into his eyes and smiled.
"All right, all you need is a picture of yourself." She continued after turning back to her computer.
She took a picture of him with an old-fashioned camera.
"You're ID will be printing soon," she said.
"Why do you have so much technology? The villages don't seem to have any types of technology," Emile asked after noticing the major changes from the village to the city.

The Laptop Hero (Portal/Isekai LitRPG)
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] - April 2022 Silas got summoned to another world—by a group of kids attending magic school who seemed rather unhappy with the results of their ritual. After a brief glimpse of his summoners Silas woke in the town dump. Unable to speak the local language, a misunderstanding escalated and before long Silas wound up in a jail cell, the locals having confiscated all his worldly possessions aside from his laptop, which had formed some strange bond with him. Now he can summon his laptop at will, and he can view his Status, level up, and gain powerful skills and magic as if he were some character in a video game, which is great and everything, but all Silas really wants to do is sit in a dark room and play games on his laptop. Only, life isn't a game, and Silas needs to get his act together because everyone else is playing for keeps. Or does he? Maybe for Silas life is just one big game now, with everyone else stuck playing by his rules. Assorted Disclaimers, in no particular order: I am only posting this on RoyalRoad.com, so if you find my story elsewhere it was not posted by me. Please do let me know! While I do consider this a progression fantasy, and have tagged it as such, Silas's Status improvements will not necessarily proceed in a linear fashion. His RPG stats will have ups and downs, exploits and nerfs, periods of growth and stagnation. Such is the life of a gamer, to be held under the thumb of the all powerful devs, or in this case a certain goddess devoted to the idea of Balance. SIlas himself should learn and grow, improving and progressing in areas where he struggles, or rather, to show such is my goal. The story is told from multiple points of view. While other PoVs will come and go, Silas shall remain the only lead character. The world Silas finds himself on is not a nice place. Expect him to encounter gore and traumatizing content and bad people who do bad things for selfish (or possibly noble) reasons from time to time. Some characters will use profanity, however due to cultural differences the curse words used will differ from those used in our corner of reality, so I'm not including the profanity content warning. Silas himself isn't one for foul language. No explicit sexual content here. This novel is intended for mature readers, however, and will include mature topics, including, but not limited to, sex, violence, death, and taxes. No harem. Might be an eventual romantic interest, possibly even some competitive jealousy, yet as his story begins Silas is too overwhelmed with other concerns to consider long term plans. Musophobics might want to steer clear of this story. Same goes for turophobics. You have been warned. Keep in mind, however, if my other disclaimers didn't make this clear, I only have the faintest of outlines at the moment. This story will take me where it will. My goal with this story is to write it to the end, something of a long-term writing exercise, with the hope others might take an interest in my work and encourage me to keep at it. I've started a number of works before, even finished a few, but this is the first time I've shared any work in a public forum. My temporary cover was made by me, in GIMP using public domain images. If you can do better I'll happily accept your submission and give credit for your work here!

Balancing of the world
Just as humanity reached the height of its power, it fell again. Mana was introduced into a previously balanced world, sending everything present into chaos. Humanity losing its technological advantages, fell back to the dark ages, back to when survival was all but guaranteed. Mana though useful for enhancing the body isn’t unlimited, and humanity fell behind fast. From experiments, a being of mana, born into this chaotic world. The first of its kind. Rather than thriving in a world to which it belongs, it has to model the world so it will suit its needs. As a lone being, it has to use its power over mana to influence beasts and humans alike to abide by its will and further its goals. It will manipulate intelligent lifeforms to do its bidding while believing that they are becoming stronger. It will help lower lifeforms and guide their lives until they fit into the world as envisioned by our being. Read how our protagonist starts in a small area, changing it to suit its needs, and then grows until the world is balanced and at peace again. This is my first story, and I don’t have an editor yet. My English should be good enough, but I expect to have to go back and do editing later on. I would classify this story as litRPG. There will be a type of system with blue boxes and all, though the perspective is the system itself and how it came to be and why it does what it does. As a single mighty being, there will be dungeon core influences such as expanding the area and influencing all within though there is no such thing as an actual dungeon. As humanity is trying to survive, there will also be some city/base building influences, and I will have some perspective changes to show how the forces are being perceived by the affected people. As I have a busy job, it will be hard to update consistently, but I am quite a bit ahead of what I have currently uploaded.
