《Birth of God》Chapter 4: A New World
Advertisement
“Hi and who are you?” the old man sees a lady dressed with flowing cloth that is thin and silk liked. The dress was like those in fairy tales, fluttering elegantly even though there is no wind in this place. The lady beautiful face with perfect symmetrical facial feature give off the feeling soft and warm person similar to family members. She looks almost like those fairy maidens in eastern fantasy heavenly realm.
“I am goddess Eillie. You might not heard of me from the place you came from” she said while smiling like a moon in the sky.
“So...what is it after this?? I have no idea” the old man ask.
“Don’t worry the test is over. Next, you can do almost whatever you please”
“Test? Do whatever I like?” the old man right eye brow tilted upward.
“Yeah, gratz on completing the test. The test refer to the world before”
“Thus, you had been promoted to the divine realm. Practically, you are an immortal being now”
“Immortal? What must I do?” the old man still had blank mind.
“I told you. Anything you like”
“Actually we immortal just do whatever we like. Example some like sleeping, some like playing with toys, some enjoy impressing others, some prefer destroying world, some like bringing chaos and suffering to inferior beings, some like to help others and some like to gain more belie....” she for a moment thought of something.
“Right!! Last thing before you do as you please. Your reward for completing the test is that you gain exclusive right on a small world. Usually we your senior gain our first amount of believers there. However you must make the effort yourselves.”
“How?”
“Show your strength and make them submit? Help them? However you please. If you don’t like it, you can leave it be or destroy the world. Anything will do. It's yours.”
“I see”
“Can I go over?”
“Sure” she looks at him with a weird look.
“I see, so I do not need to stay in this place” he look around this place which is like a pure white room which does not contain a thing even dust does not exist.

“Hehe, you are a funny one. This is a transition area not divine realm. Is different there” she was holding her stomach to prevent herself from laughing out loud with a red face.
“Haha. By the way, my belongings in the test??” ask the old man with flushing red cheek while rubbing the back of his head.
“You can bring it with you to the divine realm”
“Can I bring it to my reward area?”
“Sure. It's your toys anyway”
“Then I will get going. How do I go there?”
“Isn’t every info transferred into you head?”
“No wonder” the old man was getting dizzy like a lot of stuff entering him since coming to this place
“I need to sort everything out” muttered the old man.
“Thanks, beautiful maiden” the old man said with a smile.
“Huhu, what a cheeky tongue you have there but I like it” she replied with a smile.
“I will be going then. See ya” the goddess waive her hand and disappeared into thin air.
“Okay let's get going then. Before that, let's do this, hensin [..” he did a weird post while waving his hand like a clown. Lucky no one is here or it will be too embarrassing to watch. He then disappear like the goddess.
After the fight is over, everyone hears a voice in the their head.
“Hello everyone, the end has come. Fun time is over. You will now be return to your previous life at the time you came”
“For the reward of surviving till now. You will get to choose to retain your memories or forget about them. Though nothing you gain or learn will be retain or useful after returning to your world”
“I here thank you all for the other members. Nice show. Bye bye” said the voice that seems getting softer and softer.
“Wait! Wait!!!” some people in the world shouted loudly.
“??” no sound was heard
“What about our friends and companions”
“Those that perished should remain dead. Everyone will die eventually” the voice replied in a serious tone.

“No worry, they will go through cycle of reincarnation after a certain period of time. This is the rule for all” then the voice no longer reply to any questions asked. Just empty silence.
Thus, the End for them all.
After he came into this world the old man went to the higher floor of the tower to look around the surrounding. He does not care if there are intruders but curious to see the environment around his new home for a certain period. It takes time to gain followers so for some time he will be staying here. In the tower, he confirms that his belongings and everything in there are intact and in good shape. After confirming that his position is just outside a forest and on a plain that stretch far, he recall the scene before. It seems that this world has human and creatures he saw before but a little different.
“Seems like I can get some new collections here. Not bad” he nod his head seems content.
“Why don’t I have a look at how things work around here”
“They say knowing your enemy is key to victory”
“She said this world is mine exclusively so do they know of any God?” he recalled and contemplate the situation.
“Anyway we will find out later”
The old man decided to have fun in this new world like a child found a new toy.
A giant mouse decided to enter the structure after confirming a man disappear into the forest. It is dangerous to go back now. It thought of situation such as two pair of reddish evil eyes staring at it in the bushes in the forest, waiting to take action. Its body shivered and it step forward in large steps looking straight into the opening of the tower which is larger than a cave opening with the height of 10 metres seems like inviting visitors as it does not have door.
“Jerry, are you done?”
A thin man with spiky blonde hair caught the sound from a nearby place. He quickly look toward the said direction and caught sight of a middle age guy with black hair and short well kept beard. He was walking towards him empty handed with a bow on his back, a dagger on his left waist and a leather pouch on his right side. Judging by the looks of it, the prey should have escaped.
“Ran away?” Jericho asked
“Yeah, a variant. Ran into plain of despair” the man sound dispirited and he smile wryly.
“That is bad. Hopefully it won’t attack our village in the future” he said with a wrinkled brow.
“By the way, do you see anything from the direction you came from? The sky suddenly turn dark for a moment just now” Jericho ask curiously.
“Yeah, I saw It!!” Roger said with a pale complexion and then swallowed some saliva.
“Saw what?”
“Not sure. Looks like us human but his whole body is whi...no, his whole body is made out of white light. It's a creature of light, a very very terrifying one” Roger said with water dripping down his face from his forehead and his eyes is not focused.
“Hey hey, Roger. Are you fine? Get together man!!” Jericho said loudly and shaking Roger with both his hand on the side of the unfocused man’s shoulders.
“I... ammm....fine” seeming back to reality he replied with a shaky voice
“Should we report this to the nearby city? In any case, it’s near our home and that place is not for us village carpenter to meddle with”
“Yeah I think we should but that is until we finish our work first” said Roger
They then go back towards their village while harvesting and searching for bonus prey. While walking Roger turns back toward the plain direction and lost in thought for a brief moment. He then turns back and continues toward the village with Jericho while chatting leisurely.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. 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.
