Prologue: Humans, The Pitiful Race
I have lost faith in all humanity
Humans, a group of beings that lives on the Earth. Living in a world where they can't understand even after living on it for thousands of years.
A group of beings that creates societies to feel protected from external threats.
Even so, many suffer because of this as they can't protect themselves from their own kin. And just like them, I'm suffering right now.
It's funny, I've always had a deep-seeded loathing for Humanity, yet I always tried to get along with everyone, and be nice. I was always smiling when facing this world where the past has shown us that evil only begets evil. The only way we can help each, and ourselves in the process, is to help each other as we do in times of crisis.
However, we chose to satisfy our own selfish desires instead of the common welfare. We kill, hurt, maim, abuse and use, for either entertainment, to further a goal, or just because we can. And, when we see other people suffering, we ignore it as if it wasn't our problem. As if the society was made to protect a few selected individuals.
Didn't we create societies to avoid these tragedies?
How many have died due to this broken system? How many lives, be they insignificant or full of potential, have been wasted because someone else decided that they were worthless? Why the common folk have no say in most of the matters? Why the scientist who could have changed the world in their way to the success must be exterminated for the well-being of the ruling class?
An the beginning of every civilization, there are stories of how the man started out as being peaceful. But it turned violent and selfish because he let himself open to the voices and words of outside influences who only wanted him dead or under their feet.

Just look at our current civilization. Humans arguing about abortion and human rights. Yet, they can't save a single dying child or a poor old man who is starving.
Certain individuals can manipulate people into believing that one 'race' is superior to another and must annihilate his enemy whose only crime is that of existing. Creating in that way the worst system to save these enemies, the “equality.”
Every human lies, cheats, and steals to benefit himself and his family or people, regardless of the consequences.
If you were to give a human an advantageous position, most of them would slaughters for amusement, or makes fun of those who are in worse positions than they are.
So when you read this, please explain to me, why do we have a right to exist?
Just remember why I sacrificed myself. Just remember me, my best friend, my loved Sarah. I will leave their side for a better future.
Protect the world that I love and hate now that I am no longer in this world.

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.
