Arelan College, Stargaze City.
Alexander sat in the living room area of his dorm room peering out the window, a red box sitting in his lap the size of a helmet; as he read a small manual in his hands. His dorm room wasn't anything special and had the necessities of any dorm. A kitchen, a coffee table, a few chairs, a bathroom as well as two separate rooms.
As Alexander looked at the box in his hands, a light flashed in his eyes as a different range of emotions filled his heart, yet his eyes remained as cold as ever.
'So this is what all the trouble is about..'
In truth, he was quite happy he managed to acquire this particular helmet. As he read a few things he found out it would have some races and classes that other Evil Factions will not be able to access when the expansion drops.
He wouldn't be impeded nor would he be forced to work as a group with his classmates, even though the chance of that happening was quite small he didn't want to take any chances.
As he thought about these things, he opened the gallery door and lit up a cigarette as his eyes scanned the college below. Alexander wasn't much of a smoker, but he would have one now and again as it helped him calm his nerves.
*Open*
As Alexander was thinking these things, the door opened and someone walked in. Alexander shifted his gaze and didn't seem surprised to see the figure. The person was incredibly slim and short, and had an extremely delicate face. He wore a baggy hoody and track pants and an extremely thick glasses hiding all of his features and one could barely make out his appearance.
However upon seeing this person, Alexander shifted his gaze back to the outside as if he had not noticed. This person was undoubtedly Alexander's roommate, Eclaire Vanderson. This guy was extremely quiet and never spoke a word to Alexander aside from when it was absolutely necessary, not that the latter minded.
Alexander figured he was probably someone with low self-esteem that kept to himself and never bothered him either. He had no idea what to think of this roommate of his, he would always act in a flustered manner whenever Alexander's shirt was off and would refuse to enter the dorm until he dressed himself, as such the latter stopped taking off his shirts.

He would get angry for the smallest things, like if one forgot to clean the counter and a bit of salt or sugar was left on it, or if left the toilet seat up or left a few hairs in the bath tub.Between men, such things shouldn't even be looked at and it made Alexander feel as though he was living with a woman.
Even though he said nothing, one could tell how angry Eclaire was by the way he cleaned the dorm, heaving and throwing stuff all over. Purposefully slamming the broom or mop around, Alexander didn't want to get involved with this sort of weird person and kept to his side of the room and always made sure to clean the bathroom and clean up after himself.
Once Alexander learned to cleaned after himself properly, Eclaire calmed his crazy actions down and even made him tea once.
"....You got your helmet capsule?" Eclaire suddenly asked Alexander in a quiet tone.
Alexander turned around with wide eyes, before he turned to face outside once more. Alexander at first felt a little shocked at the fact Eclaire initiated a conversation with him but regained his composure.
"Well..In a manner of speaking" Alexander pointed at the red box to show Eclaire, inciting a surprised expression.
Eclaire looked at the white box in his hands and then back at Alexander's red box, and even though he was a little curious; he still didn't ask.
"Well I'll be going ahead then. Oh....and make sure to clean up the ashes if they get inside" Eclaire quickly entered his room and shut his door.
"Understood.....mom" Alexander replied slowly as he watched the door shut.
Once his door was shut Eclaire would never come outside until tomorrow morning, seeing his roommate enter his room; Alexander flicked his cigarette butt out the window and locked the doom room and entered his own room. He took a look at the clock noticing the time was 7:15 pm, he quickly ate some pies he bought on his way back and took a hot shower.
'I guess it's time to see what the hype is all about...If I remember correctly, all students would log on at 7:30' he thought to himself as he removed the helmet from the box.
Alexander briefly glancing through the manual and instructions, he swiftly threw on his helmet and laid down in his bed.

***
As soon as Alexander threw on the helmet, all he could see was darkness, after a soft whirring sound Alexander's conscious faded. A robotic feminine voice along with a few windows shortly appeared-
Welcome to Natural World!
Specialized helmet-capsule detected!
Opening [Evil Faction] menu!
Please Select race!
Alexander immediately looked at the several portraits that appeared before him, each displaying a picture of a particular race belonging to the [Evil Faction].
The races that appeared before him were races you would usually find in the [Evil Faction]. Such as Undead, Orc, Dark Elves, Ogres and Goblins. As well as a list of classes one could choose from the races. Such as Warriors, Hunters, Barbarians, Rogues and Mages.
There was a particular portrait that caught his attention-
However, he noticed one that was separated from the rest of the group, colored in a golden portrait. He had read about this on the manual and knew it was a special option offered by the helmet. Surprisingly this last [Evil Faction] option, was a human. Alexander stretched his hand and touched the portrait revealing it's information.
[Dark Human Cultist]
[No Class Specified]
Dark Humans, belonging to the [Evil Faction]. They are not to be underestimated as they are able to traverse in cities of the [Holy Faction] as they are humans themselves. However, although they are humans and do not possess fangs and claws or powerful might, one must be cautious when dealing with these [Dark Humans] who tend to be more aggressive than a orc, more greedy than a goblin and more cruel than the undead!
After thinking for a short while Alexander immediately chose the Dark Human race. This was precisely what he needed, someone from the [Evil Faction] that could enter the [Holy Faction] cities.
Do you wish to alter your appearance?
"Keep everything the same!" Alexander stated.
Appearance unchanged. Please choose a name!
Alexander didn't need to think and chose his own name.
"Alexander"
Name already taken, please choose another!
'Hmm..'
Alexander furrowed his brow, as he suddenly recalled his old gamer ID and decided to go with it.
"Lets go with....Osiris"
Name accepted! Welcome to Natural World, Osiris! Please choose beginner city!
Alexander didn't need to think about this as he already knew which city he wanted to go to. The class of students were supposed to meet Mr. Igor to confirm they all got their helmets, as well as to collect their gamer ID's for the government.
"Hellfire Station" Alexander firmly stated.
Choosing "Hellfire Station" as starting point! Dark Human Osiris, please enjoy "Natural World" Good bye!
Suddenly the screen blacked out once more, as Alexander seemed to be sucked into a black hole. Advertisement Previous

Essence Eater (A Super Progression Fantasy)
Gods. Demons. Aliens. Superheroes. Supervillains.Consume them all for power. Eighty years have passed since WW2, when Prime took to the skies and ended the war. No one knows what gave him his power, or what birthed the wave of supers that came after. Some claimed the nuclear bombs dropped in Japan cracked the barrier between Universes, allowing alien energies to enter the dimension. Others believed the wars finally triggered what humanity needed to reach a new stage of evolution. Daniel Das lives with his uncle in post-super London, the League of Hero's primary hub. He's spent all of his twenty-one years pushing himself, training in martial arts and studying supers, hoping he'll awaken his metagene and gain super powers. The cut-off age is close, but he hasn't yet awakened superpowers. Meanwhile, the League is steadily losing parts of the city to the growing villain factions. Daniel's uncle wishes to keep him away from the world of supers, but with the hot zones closing in, that's easier said than done. There are villains selling unregulated superpowers to gangs and dark days are on the horizon. Despite his limitations, there is no stopping Daniel. He is ravenous for power. If needed, he will ally with demons if they give him the power to protect his family and home. -------------------------------- This world building is heavily inspired by Worm and The Boys. It features dark, realistic storylines, corporation-funded heroes, and villains who aren't necessarily bad guys. The protagonist's powerset involves the crowd-favourite consuming enemies for power trope, too. The GameLit/LitRPG elements are super light and takes a while to kick in. The powercreep is slow as well since I don't enjoy overpowered protagonists. Chapters everyday until book 1 is complete. The schedule will change once I reach that point.

Reincarnation of a Businessman
A businessman is betrayed by those he holds dearest and reincarnates into a mystical world of cultivation where the power of a single person can split the heavens. However, his reincarnation does not go smoothly... ******************** This is a xianxia (cultivation/progression fantasy) story which fuses a lot of western fantasy elements. This story includes POV's of different characters which are all going to be developed in the future and will have an effect on the story. The novel is named after the reincarnation of the businessman which serves as a cataclysm in the world of cultivation, and while the MC uses some of his business knowledge, this novel is not centered around the MC creating a business empire. I plan to extend the story into at least 2 books, both taking place in the same world. ******************** Updates will happen once every 2 days, but this is often going to change to once every day or once every 3 days because I am not currently writing full-time, and neither is my editor.
