《Moniker's Mana》Chapter 16
Advertisement
There are three great Gods that made the world. The Goddess of the earth is Gaia. The Goddess of the sun is Dawn. The God of the moon is Dusk. There are also many lesser Gods. Lesser Gods are created when the great Gods procreate with spirits. Along with the lesser Gods came the Demigods. Demigods are naturally the weakest due to them being a cross between a human and a God. {A.N. Keep this in mind. I don't want to repeatedly state this much.}

A message is being received on Elizabeth's status.
[Miss Elizabeth! There's a situation outside the barrier!]
Elizabeth quickly looked over at her status. There was an annoyed expression on her face. Almost as if she was pouting. She sent a message that read:
[Then deal with it! I'm busy!]
Right after she sent the message she closed her status. She grabbed something that resembled a large battery that was safely tucked inside of a slot at her waist. {A.N. Imagine a police flashlight without the top and you're halfway there.} It was a back cylinder with a blue bar on the side of it.
"...Have to love mana batteries."
Elizabeth stood still. She was mentally preparing herself. Beads of sweat were present on Elizabeth's face. She tightened her grip on the mana battery and took a deep breath. Then she cast a spell and started to talk in a loud manner.
"Alright mister elf, if you want to be free then come to the center of the barrier!"
In an instant, a young 'sky elf' was in front of her. Right after he stopped himself from hitting the ground, the air that followed him bombarded the area. The speed at which he flew caused the air around him to go wild. It was a whirlwind that no normal person could have stood up to. However, Elizabeth happened to be the fourth-best mage in all of the human kingdom. She managed to keep herself grounded by casting a barrier around herself using the mana in the mana battery. Over half of the mana in the mana battery was depleted at the mere entrance of the 'sky elf'.

'How is he so fast?!'
Elizabeth momentarily had a panicked thought but soon calmed herself.
'If he's this strong, then the plan will definitely work!"
A smirk appeared on Elizabeth's face

"Come on, Scarlet cheer up."
Scarlet could be seen sitting at a small table with her head buried in her arms. Nova passed her a cup of tea. Scarlet shamelessly accepted it and began to drink it with a sad look on her face.
"I still can't find him."
Scarlet announced with an even more gloomy tone. As she talked her voice gradually weakened.
"I asked grandpa if he could find him and now I don't know where he is either."
Nova comforted her. Scarlet's purple hair cascaded down around her once again buried face.
___________________________________
Elizabeth's smirk soon faded. She had just gotten a message. The patiently waiting Moniker was watching her as she read the message that only she could see.
[Miss Elizabeth the situation has gotten out of control! There's an intruder!]

BEER RUN
It was his turn to walk down to the corner store and buy the beer. The big game was about to start. Jason left the apartment a normal twenty something with a pocket full of one-dollar bills from the guys and a mysterious artifact he dug up in the field next to the apartments the day before, which he planned to show his college professor on Monday. Little did he know that within the next few hours, Jason would be running from demons, who crawl up out of the ground, with his favorite erotic starlet, Penny Tickles, and rubbing an artifact that only seems to grant one wish every twenty-four hours.

The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
