《I Am the "God of Death", Whatever That Means. (Original)》The Pit. Part III. Chapter 40
Advertisement
A loud shrilling noise blares throughout The Pit as a woman stands in the middle of it. Blood is painted on the walls and the smell of iron lingers in the air. Cynthia stands in the middle, soaking in the power from the death around her. The Gnomes were easy to kill with a few quick swipes of her Scythe and Cynthia easily took out the metallic creature who won the last fight.
It shocked her a few times everytime Cynthia slashed it but they weren't enough to hurt the newly powered maniacal woman. Seeing a shining door on the side of the arena, Cynthia walks over to it curiously. It doesn't have a handle but it definitely looks like a door. A bright red light is flashing above it.
She touches the door and it opens without warning with the door sliding into the wall it is connected too. Cynthia is puzzled by this but continues into the room, looking for the God who chose Cynthia to be his hero.
Once entering, the shrilling noise gets louder and louder and the sounds of footsteps echo throughout the hallway that Cynthia is now in. There are many but they sound weak and distance but Cynthia can barely see anything in the dark hallway. A loud thumping sound also echoes throughout the hallway followed by faint screams. The smell of blood drifts into Cynthia's nose from down the dark hallway.
She becomes increasingly intrigued as the smell of blood becomes more and more potent as if it is coming closer and closer to her. The loud thumping sounds have stopped but the footsteps haven't but they have changed. It is now just one pair of footsteps and assuming she will be in a fight, Cynthia readies her Scythe.
The power that came from the death of all of the gnomes is surging through Cynthia and she feels completely unstoppable now. A tall shadowy outline of a figure comes into Cynthia's view and she prepares herself. Crimson red eyes appear on the head of the unclear figure.

Instantly, Cynthia could feel a connection to this person, like she has known him her whole life.
'This must be him... The one I've been looking for... The one I will call God!'
You have gained a new follower!
The red eyes in the darkness squint at the new message appearing in his head. Vert doesn't understand what just happened or what it caused. Vert turns around to make sure no one is following him but the only person he can sense in the person in front of him. A girl's voice breaks the silence in the hallway.
"God of Death... Is that you?!" Cynthia cries out as she begins running towards the red eyes in the hallway. Vert lets out a confused 'huh?' as the girl runs closer and closer towards him. Not being able to see at all, Vert makes a light source out of a ball of lightning. A girl covered in blood is running towards him. Cynthia stops right in front of Vert and looks at what he looks at, eyeing him from his head to his toes.
Vert's once white outfit is nor stained an alluring crimson and his brown hair needs a nice trimming. Cynthia can feel the power from within Vert and can feel herself start to tremble a little. Ever since she became a Hero, Cynthia has become very power hungry since she was so weak for most of her life and seeing so much power in one person makes her daydream about if she had this power.
"Who are you again?" Vert says in his plain but smooth voice.
"It's me! The one you choose to be your hero and gave this Scythe to! Cynthia Faron!" Cynthia says in an enthusiastic tone. Vert looks at Cynthia's right hand and can see his Scythe that he had lost.
"Well fuck." Vert says in annoyment as he has no idea what has happened or what the consequences of his actions will be.

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.
