"Merlin, so you're a Controller!"
The three Free Beings looked at Merlin from top to bottom.
"Aruba, did you bring Merlin to the Central Region Major Cosmos to let him join the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"
One of the Free Beings asked.
Aruba nodded and said, "Of course. Merlin has just become a Controller and needs to familiarise and understand everything about Controllers. We're all Free Beings, so if we can help Merlin understand his Controller special abilities as soon as possible, then he'll be able to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance."
Aruba then explained to the confused Merlin, " Merlin, new Controllers or Free Beings usually have their alliances. For example, in the Central Region Major Cosmos, there's the Central Region Controllers Alliance as well as the Central Region Free Beings Alliance. There are many benefits and many advantages to Controllers and Free Beings alike. That's why I recommend you to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance. Generally, once you belong to a part of the Central Region Major Cosmos, you can't join other forces."
It turned out that the top five Major Cosmoses such as the Central Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, and Northern Region all had their forces. Once Merlin joined the Central Region Controllers Alliance, he would automatically become one of the members of the Central Region Major Cosmos forces and unable to join forces from the other Major Cosmoses.
"What are the advantages of joining the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"
Merlin did not immediately agree and probed for more information.
"Haha, Sir Tyron, the Absolute Being of the Central Region, is the strongest among the top five Absolute Beings. Joining the Central Region Controllers Alliance allows you the opportunity to gain some understanding and experience of Controllers from Sir Tyron himself. Furthermore, there are many treasures for Controllers including Latitude Cosmoses with weak or incomplete wills. As long as you make great contributions to the Central Region Controllers Alliance, you'll be rewarded handsomely."
Aruba carefully introduced some advantages of the Central Region Controllers Alliance. There were even broken Latitude Cosmos' wills. Merlin understood from what Aruba said before that a Latitude with a broken will could be easily devoured by a Controller to directly improve his strength.

It was clear just how precious such a Latitude Cosmos would be.
Of course, to obtain such a Latitude Cosmos, the price would be very high as it was not that simple.
"Alright, then I'll go to the Central Region Controllers Alliance and take a look."
Merlin nodded in agreement.
"We'll go as well. I heard that new members are rewarded very well. The better the performance, the more rewards."
Thus, the group of five left the mountain and flew away.
In the Central Region Major Cosmos, ripping apart space was not allowed. It was very difficult and even impossible to rip this space. After all, the Central Region Major Cosmos was too powerful and the space barrier was naturally abnormally strong as well. According to Merlin's estimation, even if he brandished the Illusory World's full strength, it would still be very difficult for him to tear the space of this Central Region Major Cosmos.
However, the five of them flew very fast and quickly came to a huge city. In it, most were ordinary people.
The gate was unguarded so Merlin and the others flew in directly. When they landed on the ground, everyone gave way respectfully. Free Beings were still top existences in the Central Region Major Cosmos and were far from being comparable to these ordinary people.
"Do these ordinary people have the chance to become Free Beings or Controllers?"
Merlin's heart moved as he looked at them.
Aruba was slightly taken aback but sighed. "This is Sir Tyron's Latitude Cosmos. If they want to become Free Beings, they'll have to completely break this Latitude Cosmos' natural order. As for Controllers, they still need to control this world. Although that could happen, it's still very improbable. Even if such a person appears, do you think that Sir Tyron will just hand over the Central Region Major Cosmos?"
After a pause, Aruba continued. "For example, if such a person were to be born in your Latitude Cosmos, would you be so magnanimous as to let him break the natural order?"

Merlin was immediately relieved. Indeed, there would never be such a person in his Latitude Cosmos. To become a Free Being, one had to break the Latitude Cosmos' natural order. For the Latitude World, it would be a debilitating blow which might cause it to fall apart.
Therefore, if there was such a person, Merlin would do his best to suppress him. The same was true for the Central Region Major Cosmos. Even if there was such a person, Sir Tyron would not allow it.
"In other words, if you want to become a Free Being, you must be from a naturally formed Latitude Cosmos?"
Merlin asked thoughtfully.
"That's usually the case but there are also some special cases. For example, some Controllers may be unable to pay attention to their Latitude Cosmos due to various reasons such as sleeping or other reasons. In that case, those Latitude Cosmoses can produce a Free Being or Controller. However, such a scenario is very rare and is considered special cases."
Aruba's words made Merlin smile. If such a thing happened, the Controller was too unlucky. Their own Latitude Cosmos ended up being put to use by another person.
However, this also reminded Merlin to pay more attention to the situation in the Illusory World in the future. Although it did not mean that the people in the Illusory World could not be strong, they must not be strong enough to threaten the world's natural order. If there were such people, they must be nipped in the bud.
"Merlin, we're here. Right in front is the Central Region Controllers Alliance."
Merlin looked up and saw a very large building that did not look too impressive. There were not even guards outside. However, when he saw the gate, Merlin felt odd. It turned out that the gate also had a special power. Besides Controllers and Free Beings, ordinary people could not enter it.
"Swoosh."
The five of them passed through the gate and smoothly entered the Controllers Alliance hall.
The hall looked magnificent and extremely large, even larger than the entire city. Merlin was shocked at first but immediately realized that they were not in the same space anymore. They were in an individual space and the gate was just a passageway.
In the hall, most Controllers were grouped in twos and threes. When they saw Merlin enter, their gaze swept toward him briefly before paying him no attention.
"Are there this many Controllers and Free Beings?"
Merlin was a little surprised. They had not encountered a single one earlier and only saw ordinary people. However, everyone here was either a Free Being or a Controller.
"Haha, that's natural. This is the headquarters of the Central Region Controllers Alliance. It's naturally incomparable to other places."
Aruba said with a smile.
"Let's go and join the Central Region Controllers Alliance!"
Thus, Aruba and the others led Merlin directly into the front of the hall where several Controllers were blasely lounging in their chairs.
"Dear elders, we would like to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance."
"Hm? You want to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"
One of the elders opened his eyes and glanced at the five before focusing on Merlin.
"You?"
"That's right, Merlin has just become a Controller and would like to apply for membership of the Central Region Controllers Alliance."
"Yes, our Central Region Controllers Alliance is the strongest. You'll know after joining."
The elder revealed a smile.
The elder was about to say something when a flash of light suddenly burst in the hall where a man in a golden robe appeared.
At the sight of this man, the three Free Beings beside Aruba suddenly stiffened. They glared intently at the golden-robed man.
"Naya!"
The three Free Beings shouted through gritted teeth.

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.
