《Guns in another world》Letter
Advertisement
Hearing the knock at the door, Fionn took a cage from his spatial ring. The cage was large enough to hold a mouse, but as Fionn inserted his mana into it, its size steadily increased until it was large enough to hold a puppy.
This cage is a special relic that allows one to store a living creature inside his/her spatial ring; Fionn purchased it yesterday for an extremely high price; the price was so high that it caused him heartache, but it was necessary because hotel authorities would not allow him to take a beast inside his suite without it.
Fionn proceeded to the entrance after putting the mutated creature inside his spatial ring while simultaneously removing the barrier that was covering the suite from inside.
As he opened the door, a hotel employee greeted him, stating, "sir, someone sent this package for you just now."
"Oh, thank you," Fionn said as he shut the door behind him after accepting the package.
The package was shaped like a little box. Fionn opened it and found a letter and a medallion. Fionn opened the letter and began reading it with interest.
The letter was written by Rebecca and goes as follows: "I know it's strange to write you a letter so soon after meeting you, but I have a fantastic news for you that I don't have time to tell you in person. The Myriad Treasure Auction House is holding an auction tomorrow, and the main item on sale is the coordinates of a newly born Chaos plane. You should be well aware of the value of a Chaos plane, even if it is a newly born Chaos plane. The auction will begin tomorrow afternoon at 4pm, so be prepared. If you don't have enough crystals on hand, contact me before 10 am. I've sent you a noble's medallion, which you'll need to enter the noble's district, I'm hoping you'll be able to buy the coordinates.

Fionn's eyes gleamed with excitement as he finished reading the letter. "I have to get my hands on the coordinates," Fionn thought.
Fionn inspected the date and time on the letter; it had been written the night before, "so the Auction is today," Fionn reasoned.
He then picked up the medallion and examined it. It was golden in colour and had a carved imprint of a soaring eagle on it. At first sight, the medallion appeared to be nothing out of the ordinary, but when you touch it, you can tell the material it was created of is not ordinary.
"Let's see if I have enough crystals," Fionn thought as he began to check his spatial ring. After a moment, he sighed, "I may not be quite as rich as I thought, I might be able to purchase the coordinates, but I'll go broke after that."
He checked the time by glancing out the window; it was around 9 a.m. "I still have time, but borrowing money from Rebecca isn't a long-term answer to my financial problems; I need to find another way to become financially independent." Fionn thought.
Fionn began walking back and forth in his quarters, contemplating a way that would earn him crystals, suddenly he noticed his relic, which was silently laying on the floor.
Fionn grins because he just had an idea. "Let's get the plan in motion," he said.
30 minutes later..
After freshening up, Fionn went downstairs to the hotel cafeteria for breakfast.
The cafeteria was not particularly full, because it was past the time for breakfast, but there were still quite a few people dining.
Fionn headed to an isolated table after filling his plate and began eating his food swiftly.
While he was eating his breakfast, a young man approached his table, sat down in front of him, and asked, "Do you mind if I sit here?"

Fionn stares at him, quizzically, and says, "You're already sitting."
The young man was dressed extravagantly, he has flaming red hair and could be regarded plump, at first glance, one would think him to be a person with whom you can joke, his overall appearance could be considered pleasing to the eye
The young man chuckled and added, "I spotted that medallion on your neck, if you don't mind, I have a business proposal for you."

BEER RUN
It was his turn to walk down to the corner store and buy the beer. The big game was about to start. Jason left the apartment a normal twenty something with a pocket full of one-dollar bills from the guys and a mysterious artifact he dug up in the field next to the apartments the day before, which he planned to show his college professor on Monday. Little did he know that within the next few hours, Jason would be running from demons, who crawl up out of the ground, with his favorite erotic starlet, Penny Tickles, and rubbing an artifact that only seems to grant one wish every twenty-four hours.

The 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
