《World tag#001》Chapter018

- Now we wait for your avatar's synchronization with the new environment, meanwhile we can finally do a q&a session.
- After three days... Just like that... Breathe in, breathe out... ...
- Well normally new matrix's avatars would have to listen to the lore introduction and should consult each obelisk for instruction. But I believe we exceeded normal parameters by far, so now you can simply ask.
- I'm starting to have a migraine, is this even possible with this body? Anyway how much time I have for asking questions?
- I think your headache is only psychological originated, you shouldn't have physical feedback until the end of the synchronization sequence. And you can ask for all the time you want.
- Care to explain this "feedback" thing?
- When, a few more minutes actually, the sequence will end, you will have again the full control and feedback of your avatar. Obviously complete of the upgrade you obtained until now.
- Obviously... Just so I can understand better, what will change from before, and I mean from my original body, from the time in the room and now?
- Your original body's stat and skill are unknown to me the system came in contact with your matrix only after you separated from it, I could only glimpse at the last instant of your original life but not enough data to extrapolate significant results.
- Wait a minute! You said I was going to get cremated... did you lie to me?
- From the relative time between the end of you original body, the system's search and the memories of your last will, I estimated the moment your original body would be cremated.
- Estimated, estimated... How sure you're of your calculation?
- From the data I have a 2.3 second of error.
- Sigh... I have no way to check in any way, so lest's say I believe you, what are the difference I should expect from the white room and now?

- I think that thanks to your intuition you will be able to pick the change immediately, but to answer your question in the testing room you were on a slight compulsion to "do something", your avatar grow-rate was doubled and no other basic biological function were activated.
- Such as?
- Hunger and thirst are the more prominent, the full list I'm not authorized to disclose. And I believe it would be fairly boring.
- Yeah, because you worry about my entertainment right?... Will I be free of compulsion now?
- Yes, like I said before, no external interference is permitted on the matrix after it pass the test...
While it was talking, I was assaulted by a feeling comparable to plunging, my whole body, in ice water after a day under the scorching sun. My skin felt first hot and than cold, no wonder I started shivering like a new-born lamb.
- The synchronization seems complete, I think in a few hour you will start to feel all the others change. What you feel now is the feedback from the avatar's settings to the new atmosphere, gravity ecc.

A Pirate's Life for Mei
In the future, prisoners are no longer kept in traditional prisons. They're put into comas and permanently dwell within realistic, full-dive virtual worlds. Mei is a journalist and activist falsely convicted of political crimes after accusing an official of sexual harassment. She finds herself in chains aboard a ship in the Caribbean, a prison realm set in 1675, in the age of sail. Oversight is corrupt and the guards are violent. While most prisoners sullenly endure their hardship, Mei knows that this world has a loophole: prisoners can buy their freedom — if they can get the gold. And this also happens to be the golden age of piracy. Yo ho, yo ho. It's a pirate's life for Mei. Book 1 Mei arrives in the Caribbean and battles for her freedom against the devilish English navy, is kidnapped by Caribs, and comes face-to-face with a jaguar. She recruits fellow prisoners in an attempt to steal a boat and flee the prison colony. Book 2 Mei and her crew arrive in Sint Maartin and learn that the French and the Dutch are at war! As Lance, Juan, and Cheeto face their pasts, the crew becomes privateers. Their first prize: a ship full of rum and a week of drunken debauchery in Curacao. This puts them on the trail of Aztec gold buried deep in jungle ruins. An adventure filled with doublecrosses and stealing their first true ship! This is the All Ages version.

Elder's Game
In a world set upon by an ancient threat, a new cycle of civilisation competes for power and resources. Amidst the games and politicking of Elder beings, the masses are unknowingly ensnared in plots and schemes that were centuries in the making. At the heart of the world’s workings lies the Tyreal Valley—a land that promises to fulfil the desires of those who seek it. As a haven for the truly strong, the path to this promise is paved more often than not in warfare and blood. To two young stragglers fighting for more than just their own fates, it is left as their only answer. But maybe that’s just what their enemies want. Magic system vaguely similar to GameLit ones (no system nor interface to help), with certain elements that are a bit more analogue. Politics, war, looming apocalypse, a tiny dash of kingdom building, and a minor bit of crafting. There is a bit of a progression element as well as both environmental and cultural exploration. The story follows two youths more directly influenced by aforementioned Elder beings than most. Neither lead cares for politics but certain situations force them into participating, forcing them to make decisions that shape their morality. Initially, the focus is on the male lead as he comes of age in an environment with little scope to change his future, only to be thrust into new circumstances that permanently kill some of his hopes. 3k words every chapter
