"What?"
I am pretty sure I died , how come I am still alive.
Well it is not the time to think about that, as I look around and see a place what most people would consider hell. Cries of agony sounded from afar.
Well done Frank you are now in hell I thought to my self. I did not want to look around, since I heard someone approach me from behind.
The steps of the unknown being made the earth shake, so I was a bit scared to turn around but just a little bit I swear. The earth stopped shaking and I could feel a gaze penetrating me like daggers. Whatever chooses to approch me is now standing right behind me.
It would be rude to ignore him, I better make a good impression. Shivers run down my spine as I slowly turn my self to face the unknown being.
"You gotta be kidding me" -me
Infront of me is a huge old man with scares on his whole body. He stand there half naked wearing only short pants. He has grey hair and a long beard like Gandalf. Aside from his huge muscles he has crimson red cat like eyes. I am stunned for a moment, he is at least four meters tall.
"How are you doing? Everything alright ?"
"Hmm you don't seem to be afraid of me"
"Why should I? Are you not like your average geezer"
At this remark the whole earth began to shake.
"Pah you puny mortal you stand in front of the mighty god of madess"
What? He is for real? I can't believe that the god of madness is standing right in front of me. Juding how I end up here after dying, he must be the real deal. The thought that my imaginary god is real, puts me in a state of pure joy. Maybe know I can get some answers to my quetions.I must act wisely.

"Exuse my rudness,my lord"
"Hm I shall forgive you, for you didn't know"
"My Lord I have question, where am I"
"Your at my domain the underground. You were supposed to go to the earths hell but since Satan is a friend of mine he made an excaption. Your escaped hell so be thankful."
He is right, this might be good. Yes, no hell, the best thing ever. Thinking that I slip a smile. The god of madness noticed it and said,
"Don't dare to think that you are going to have it easy,lets get down to business."
"Anything you want my lord, your wish is my command"
The god of madness on that remark began to laugh hysterically, as expected from my lord.
"Before we get down to business my lord, why did you choose me."
"That's easy, for thousends of years no one prayed to me, after thee great war the god of life Chadreah forbid everyone to worship me. She sealed me to this place and put me into slumber. I was asleep for a long time. Your act of worship made me wake up."
"It is great that I was useful."
"Don't be humble, there were many strong men who tried to awake me by sacrificing humans, but your sacrifice was pure madness. I have seen alot, but killing innocent cats is something I have never seen.This is maybe why I have awaken."
"So what are your plans?"
"Great now lets get down to bussiness, I will reincarnate you into a different world. There you have to get strong enough for the task I'll be giving you. I won' tell you the task yet, as you have to get strong enough. You should tell no one, that you worship me, as it will only cause trouble. Only when you are strong enough to defend yourself you can praise my name. Thought I won't tell my name yet"

"As you wish my Lord,I am grateful, but can you give me a little advantage."
"Good idea It would be bad not to give you any since life will be harsh from now on. Tell me what do you desire. I can grand you any power."
Now we are talking, in my old life I imagined having different sorts of powers and I knew wich one I wanted.
"You are so kind my lord,If you would be so kind and give me the power to create anything I desire."
"I can't grad you god like powers. Creating anything you desire is only possible if you are a god,but I could give you great strength, if you desire so.
Strenght. Doesn't sound bad but only a fool would take strenght. I need the power to create anything I desire. That would be the best power to choose if you could have one.
It is even better than immortality. If you are a Immortal and get stuck in a place, you gonna have a lonesome time, not that I care about relationships with humans. How can I get the power? Think. That's it, this will work for sure.
"What about converting materials to something I desire?"
"Hohoo That would be possible, you are some strange kid. The others always wanted powers like great strength or more magical power. I will be thrilled to see what you will do. I'll grand you the power you wish. Anything else you want to say before I send you to your new body?."
There could be few things, like wanting to be born in a nobles family. I was suppose to go to hell, so i don't dare to upset my lord. This is my second chance and I don't want to ruin it.I'll better ask something that's not too unreasonable.
"My lord , do I keep my memories of my former life?"
"Yes, you do, don't worry"
Now thats what I call after life, I am maybe the luckiest soon to be alive man. I doubt that many have escaped hell. Oh thank you poor cats I have killed,your deaths were not in vain., at that thought I slipped a large grin on my face.
"Hohoho, now show me what you are made of."
"You will not be dissapointed my lord, you will see." I say as I smile.
He points his fingers at me and says
"Are you ready?"
"I was born ready, hell yes"
I think of the many possibilities I will have. In my former life I was a fat and useless guy. This time I will be the strong that crushes the weak. I will try to get over powered as quick as I can, so I can crush humans instead of cats.
Killing Humans is better that killing cats, because some humans deserve to die. Like the evil bullies that made my life rough.Whatever, I can save my thoughts for later as I see my god emitting a red aura. Through his fingers the red aura spreads onto my whole body. I look at my feet seeing it dematerialize, yes Its finally beginning,
I bow to my god before dematerializing completly. Before my eyes are dematerilezed I see a smiling god of madness, it was one of the sincere kind.

8 164The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic
