Things had been going so well, lately.
-1828 Health. Beholder's Eye drains -1 Mana.
Honestly, I felt I’d really gotten stronger.
And then of course…
This world just lays on the beatdown.
I mean, who creates a room with no mana in it??
-1828 Health. Beholder's Eye drains -10 Mana.
That right there is sadistic.
Rustle.
Utter lies. My partner in crime isn’t even able to admit she had anything to do with this, silly future Dryad.
“Mr. Gatewood, I don’t think we can hold out for long. It’s eating the mana we throw at it too now.” Tevril said. She’s the newest addition to Team Tree. It took approximately five years to learn Common Beast Tongue, probably because the language is so twisted.
It definitely was not because I am an idiot.
Nope.
-1828 Health. Beholder's Eye drains -100 Mana.
…ha…Ha…HA.
Haaaaaaah…thank god Trees don't feel pain like humans due, I'd probably be dead of shock by now otherwise.
I really didn’t want to try this. It's not really an attack, more of a Final Strike type move...
-1828 Health. Beholder's Eye drains -1000 Mana.
Experimenting with things outside my body is fine. Something goes wrong there, we can likely survive.
-5869 Health from Critical Strike. Beholder's Eye nullifies White Mana Flameshield.
That hurt dammit, alright, I’ve been kind.
I’ve been generous.
Now I’m just really pissed off.
Activate, Expiriment #91!
-10000 mana, White Mana Flame has merged with Truefire Domain. White Mana Domain created.
Please...let this work.
-1819 Health. Status: Burning. Near Death.
...Now would be a good time...
Growth has activated consuming White Mana Domain.
Yes!
Inherent Mana Manipulation has twisted effects of Growth.
YES!
Skill: Mana Augmentation gained!
Fire is my Domain.
Flame my Calling.
Blood Burn.
There is no time to hesitate now. No time to watch the health lowering from my desperate gamble.

I overload the mana to explode Artifact#1 behind me to provide propulsion and launch myself at the enemy.
Bzzzzzzzt!
Hissssssssssss!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Level UP!
Thank god that worked.
Level UP!
I don’t feel so hot, now heh. Time to take a short nap. I'm beat. I'm also on fire, but hey, can't have everything.
“Gah, turn of the flames or I can’t help heal! Old man! Hey! OLD MAN!” Tevril shouted, waving her hands at me.
Bleh. Such a noisy woman. Why did I think it was good to have a second companion again?
“Smother” Tevril spoke, her words embodying a Spell of Air. She's grown much stronger the last few years.
Ooooh, that feels nice, at least I’m not on fire now, good thing I have a second companion for this stuff!
I don’t think we can recover from this though. Trees don't feel pain like humans, but when 70% of your body is on fire, it still hurts baaaaaaaad.
…
…
…Ruuuuuussssssssttttttlllllllle.
Yeah, sure, I’ll leave the rest to you, sleeptime now.

8 82A 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.
