《Tales of The Heroic Kingdoms》Not a Chapter - Author's Note And Apology
Advertisement
Hello, I am SmilingBlueWolf!
First of all, I'd like to start with an apology. Please forgive me, as I have not been able to update the series as I wanted. I had surgery and other real-life problems and commitments, but I will not bore you all with the details.
However, I have not given up on this series, and I will not. I'm very attached to it. I have other ideas and projects but I will not get to them until I finish Tales, and that will take a lot of time and effort. I'm not sure how long I envision Tales to be, but with at least ~2500 words per chapter it will go far beyond Japanese style Light Novels and into Chinese Web Novels territory, at least size wise.
I understand my English is far from amazing but that will not be an obstacle. The novel can be rewritten, edited, improved and learned upon, and this is one of the main reasons I'm writing here on RR. I'm not afraid of constructive criticism and I even welcome some guidance on my grammar weak points. Such being the case, I plan on resume the novel in the next days and keep the schedule of at least a chapter a week at random intervals. Without some sort of monetary support, this is the best I can do.
Regarding the novel itself, I have been busy at work finishing my proper scene list. It will work as guidance when reviewing and allowing for easier edits, the spotting of plot holes, unconscious foreshadowing, and inconsistencies that will help me improve long-term, including story and grammar wise.
To anyone that wishes to begin reading my novel, I suggest that you read at least until chapter 7 before making your own conclusions. At least the first four chapters should give you a general feel and allow you to understand if my style is good enough for you.

As for the future, my readers can expect plenty of action, strategy, character development, war, politics and base building. I dare to say that if my skills allow me to implement my vision right people will be hard-pressed to find a similar novel out there. By that I don't mean a masterpiece, but I hope it at least will be a very enjoyable read for everyone that like the genre!
To my readers, using their precious time to support this novel, I can only thank you all for everything. I will endure and write the best I can, for as I long as I can.

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.
