《Loser of Tarinath》Note from the author
Advertisement
Hi all,
I thought I would say a little about the story you are reading, and explain a bit about the formatting.
The concept of VR life has been done quite a bit by now, but I wanted to try my hand at building a story around the idea, and you have been reading the result. This work is not meant to be something you would pay money for, so I have been making the plot up as I go along, which you've probably noticed.
Feedback is always appreciated, positive or negative, though I would most like story or plot related criticisms or praise. I find the whole text entry system on Royal Road to be aggravating and aren't interested in spending the time figuring out how to make it work for me. I have been copying and pasting from Pages into a text editor, then into this webpage. It strips all the italics and bold print out, so a lot of emphasis or highlighting is lost. The stat pages and such are in italics in my original, making it a little easier to read.
Jake has actually turned into a bit more of a hero than I had intended, but what can you do? I am considering following a different character for a while, a mage, one you haven't met yet, so you might see that down the road.
Anyway, I appreciate you taking the time to read my story and hope you take the time to leave a little feedback.
Thanks,
S. Zaplosky

... And My Skillet
A long time ago, a child was born under the great blue sky. Many a Dwarf grumbled at the auspicious event, tugging furtively at their beards at this ill omen. A year later as the expedition had begun digging into the virgin hills of their new home, the grumbling of the doughty mountain people rose to a disbelieving furor when the yearling passed over the ritual offerings that would determine his lot in life. Instead, the as of yet unnamed child crawled over to a skillet fresh out of the fire and begun picking at the rock bread, unconcerned with the heat. Shouts turned into laughter, frowns lifted into craggy smiles. Upon placing a handful of the bread into his mouth, the infant’s face grew so grim and stony not even the eldest of the present Dwarves could match him. There was a durable ore within this babe, of that the Lore Keeper was sure. Yumly Ironhand was thus named, the beginning of his great tale immortalized on the rune walls of his clan’s history. “It’s pronounced Yoom Lee and no, rock bread isn’t a misnomer.”

Summoning America
Entirely cut off from Earth, the United States finds itself in a scientific impossibility: the entire country, including the continental landmass and separated states and territories, was transported to another world. Unlike Earth, this new planet boasts phenomena unknown to science. Magic reigns supreme in this new region of the universe, bolstered by the natives' own scientific progression. Monsters roam wastelands and dungeons, subsisting off unfortunate travelers, local fauna, and sometimes even entire towns! Ambassador Samuel Anders is tasked with contacting the various nations and entities of this new world. Despite his best attempts at diplomacy, the arrogance and hostility of the natives prove to be an unnavigable barrier. War is the only alternative. Eventually, fears surface regarding an ancient evil: the Ravernal Empire. How will the United States handle the threats of this new neighborhood? What magical wonders will its adventurous citizens find? This Summoning Japan inspired work will follow the United States as it is summoned to a New World. The story will begin with the United States’ initial encounter with the Rodenius continent. Although starting similarly to the original story, Summoning America will begin to diverge greatly as the war against the Lourian Kingdom comes to an end. For the context of this work, I expect that you have already familiarized yourself with the original piece, “Summoning Japan” also known as “Nihonkoku Shoukan”.
