Sesa: Who are you?
The words were blurted out by Sesa before he could realize that he spoke out aloud. Right there, in front of his eyes, stood a mysterious person. Firstly, the environment is completely strange, the sky itself had three different shades and the person opposite his position is strange as well. He wore a pale white outfit, even his skin appeared white and pale. It was like facing an apparition. The most notable feature of the mysterious man was the mask that covered his face. It was the very same mask he received from the old geezer. The difference, however, is that this mask has six tiny bulbs glowing. At least two each lit up in color in correspondence to the three colours of the sky. Something of an idea popped in Sesa's head but it was to unbelievable to say out loud.
????: I know what you're thinking?
Sesa: Is that so?
????: I may look the part but I am not. I was not born of you. hehehe...
Sesa: Huh!!?
????: Nor am I apart from you. That is to say, I'm simply an amalgamation of your true feelings. My existence is nothing but a manifestation given by this mask.
The mysterious man raised his right hand, placing it on the mask. The mask did not have anything like a string attached to it, holding it in place. On the contrary, it fit his face like a glove. Steadily the man removed the mask revealing his true appearance. Sesa on the other side stared attentively, eyes opening wide at the man unmasked.
The feeling was vague since the time the ghostly man spoke in his own voice. It wasn't just that, the attire of the mystery man appeared similar to his own, the only thing left was to see who was under the mask. Sesa was speechless. The eyes of the mysterious man was black and at the centre of the darkness, crimson pupils stared back at him, a wicked smile appeared on that man's face. 'That face is definitely my own.' Thought Sesa.

????: Welcome Sesa, this world belongs to you. This world is the inner realm of your, lets call it your 'sacred gear'.
Sesa: Sacred what now!!!
????: I'm not repeating myself.
Sesa: But you sai-
????: Yes.
Sesa: Then that mea-
????: Yes.
Sesa: How?
????: My existence is a culmination of your feelings. How I'm supposed to know?
Sesa: ....
????: I only know what you know, as well as the inborn knowledge of the sacred gear.
Sesa: I see. soooo...What do I call you?
????: Second Sesa
Sesa: Lame!
S.Sesa: HAHAHA..that you are! Lets get to the good stuff.
Second Sesa finished his sentence then lifted the mask in his hand, he threw it in the air. The mask flew up to a certain extent and stopped, it didn't drop back down. It actually rotated in the air, moving about the space between the sky and land. Second Sesa stated, "I knew that will happen", he crouched down and plopped himself back. He lay on the ground with limbs spread out.
Sesa looked at his other self on the ground and began contemplating everything that had happened since waking up. 'This is the realm inside my sacred gear. The main point being mine. There's no need for me to be courteous here. My true feelings is also laying on the floor'. Sesa determined, he to layed himself on the ground, folding his arms back behind his head. Both Sesa stared up at the sky watching the mask floating in circular motion. Second Sesa spoke soon after.
S.Sesa: The sacred gear's name...is called 'Mask of Deception'.
Sesa: Doesn't sound very sacred.
S.Sesa: Hahaha, right you are. Right, the Mask of Deception has six abilities, th---
Sesa: SIX!!! Doesn't the original Ddraig have 3 of 4 or something?
S.Sesa: Something... Stop disturbing me.
Sesa: Right.
S.Sesa: Right... From what I understand two abilities are subtle, two are passive and last two are active. The first ability is called Doppelganger. It's the reason I was manifested. This ability has two effects to it. One is that whoever you determine as a target will perceive an illusory form of yourself. The illusion which is me can only appear in the diameter around you. How large the circle is with you at the centre depends on your own power. The other effect I like more, if you for whatever reason you lose consciousness, I get to take over your body. hahaha. Well, at that time all limiters on your body will be removed and I can waste away your stamina, mana and life force either to make a kill or make an escape.

Sesa: Wait! How come you have a will of your own?
S.Sesa: I don't. I am what you truly desire. In the outer world you will make decisions and compromise your true feelings, even forget them but the Mask of Deception will maintain the truth as a constant reminder of who you are.
Sesa: ....
S.Sesa: You'll figure it out. Next abilities are called 'Concealment' and 'Camouflage'. Concealment is simple, it will hide your aura, power etc. Concealment can also hide your identity from others. That is to say if someone who knows you comes to you looking for you, they will only sense familiarity but won't be able to identify you.
S.Sesa: Camouflage is simple also. It doesn't make you invisible but blends you to the environment, even if you're seen you won't be anything worth paying attention to. Unless you cause it yourself. This ability also enables you to be perceived as anyone other than yourself.....hahaha...you can even enter the girls locker room as a naked guy but they will only see just another girl...hahaha.
Sesa: Hahaha...
S.Sesa: Hehe...Okay... Heh...The last two abilities are.... Mimicry and Impersonate. Mimicry allows you to copy whatever you perceive through your senses. Hear a sound and you'll be able to do it to. See an action, you can copy it as well. Unfortunately Mimicry can only help with the physical. You can copy a spell incarnation but without magic it will be just wasted breath.
Sesa: Damn!
S.Sesa: Yeah...
Sesa: And Impersonate?
S.Sesa: Impersonate is easy to understand. As far as ordinary people are concerned, the previous abilities are flawless. However, the problem lies with the supernatural beings. You can use Concealment to hide your presence but that's all you could do. If you disguise yourself as a devil, how long can you keep it up before someone finds that something is off. You're just human after all, no demonic power. But if you use Impersonate to absorb some devil essence then the Mask of Deception can fake it. This is more useful against those whose calibre is based on their bloodline or lifeline, you will be able to disguise yourself as another's existence.
Sesa: Okay...Doppelganger, Concealment, Camouflage, Mimicry and Impersonate....That's five. You said six abilities?
S.Sesa: That right, The sixth is Detection.
Sesa: That's it.
S.Sesa: It's more sensitive to hostility. Can also sense lies.
Sesa: Shame, no combat ability. So how do I leave this place?
S.Sesa: Hahaha, no combat ability... Will your way out.
Sesa followed his doppelganger's advice, he closed his eyes thinking of entering the outside world. The feeling of moving in an elevator engulfed him and when he opened his eyes again Sesa found himself standing in front of a body of water. He swung his head left and right no one seems to notice him but this place... 'This looks like the place where Asia was kidnapped', Sesa remembered while checking his pockets. He pulled out his phone grinning like an idiot. It was clear he was up to something, He tapped on a red app with a white triangle on it....currently offline....
Sesa: Huh!!!!
S.Sesa: Hahaha...Check the upper right of the screen.
Following Second Sesa's direction the new sacred gear wielder saw an X symbol there, what does that mean? Sesa knew. He looked at the sky and screamed.
Sesa: DAMN IT, I DON'T HAVE A JAPANESE NETWORK!

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.
