Qing He High School:
A renowned school is known to have the best teaching standards and highest enrollment rate in Imperial City.
Ye Wan Wan studied overseas and returned at the age of 16. She didn't take the entrance exam and shouldn't technically have been able to enter Qing He.
She was only able to enter due to the fact that her dad was the acting chairman of Ye Holdings at the time, allowing her to enter through the back door, so to speak.
She had already been in high school for 4 years, from the ages of 16 to 20, yet she had yet to graduate.
Initially, she didn't do well in school because she had fallen in love. Her teenage heart was with Gu Yue Ze, who was tall and handsome.
She spent all day thinking of how to please him, wrote him hundreds of love letters, and even folded a thousand paper cranes.
After all that, her grades suffered due to this boy.
The morning glow from the sun shone brightly on her green wig. Ye Wan Wan stood in front of the gates of Qing He High School and looked at the four enormous words "Qing He High School" overhead.
She made a commitment to herself in her heart——
No matter what, this time nobody is going to stop me from studying hard!
She entered the familiar yet unfamiliar school grounds, with two paths lined with big old trees and air filled with a crisp scent of grass.
Further up was a row of vintage, red-tiled buildings, with the speakers broadcasting melodious music and groups of students carrying their schoolbags engrossed in chatter while making their way to class...
After so many days of being reborn, this was the first time that Ye Wan Wan actually felt alive again.

Glancing at the azure blue sky above her, she almost had the urge to cry.
She didn't even care about the strange looks and whispers around her.
Compared to what she had gone through in her previous life, school gossip didn't hurt her one bit.
"Whoa! Who is that! She gave me such a shock that I nearly knocked into a tree!" a boy swerved away from a big tree with a face filled with shock.
The girl at the side replied in a high-pitched voice, "You don't know her? She's Ye Wan Wan from F class!"
"Damn! SHE is Ye Wan Wan? Really, seeing her for myself is better than hearing about her a hundred times from other people."
Another girl said with disgust on her face, "Never mind that she puts on such heavy makeup and dresses weirdly, but her grades are atrocious as well. It's been 4 years and she still hasn't graduated. I heard she has quite an indecent personal life, always skipping classes to fool around. Why is a person like this not expelled yet? She's a disgrace to Qing He High!"
One of the students interrupted, "Maybe they couldn't expel her! Apparently, she comes from a wealthy family. Didn't she enter through the back door?"
The girl scoffed, "Oh please! Shen Meng Qi said that Ye Wan Wan's father embezzled money and was fired. He's even in a buttload of debt with the loan sharks!
Apparently, her days are numbered here. I heard the school decided to convince her to drop out.
After all, the top management leader will be coming to observe today and if he finds out that our school has this kind of student, then our decades-long prestige will be destroyed!"
The few onlookers around them rejoiced, "Finally we don't have to be in the same school as a girl like this!"

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.
