《Revival Factory & Other Novellas》Revival Factory (Ch.14)
Advertisement
He left his house with raised pockets when sun showed its semi circular shape from the hills. Boone remembered address of the post office.
The place was not very far from where he lived but he had concern on something else.
What could be the consequence of writing multiple times to Revival Factory? He was well aware of Crowman. Does he kill anyone who tries to overuse their facility?
Is he the guardian of Revival Factory or he is someone who spies at people who write for the factory?
He couldn’t make any sense out of it. Believing in Woman in Blue's words didn’t seem wise because Boone was not erased as per the rules. All he believed was that the red beaked freak had killed his wife.
Boone was unwilling to take a cab. He took all the stress on his feet.
About an hour later, he reached nearby the post office which looked as normal as any other post offices. Nothing was out of order.
"Boone!" a person called his name from behind.
He looked back to see who he was.
Boone regretted it in a second. Someone put a sack over his head which swallowed him like a snake. He began to slide upside down on a slippery tunnel which apparently had no end to it.
Boone felt thud on his back. He was lucky to not have damaged his vertebrate.
The same man who had put the sack over him was looking down at him. There were some other people with him watching the spectacle as well.
"Who are you?" Boone asked one of them.
"Irrelevant question, Boone. Let me ask you some relevant question." A man in Tragedy mask knelt to speak to him, "We did not revive you. How did you come back from death?"

"You are from Revival Factory?"
"Looks like he knows more about us more than I had thought." A crow faced with red beak entered inside the room.
He is real! Boone's eyes widened.
"Where am I?"
"You are dead again."
"What?"
"I was kidding. You are in Revival Factory." The creature with red beak gave him his hand.
Boone caught the charcoal like black arm. Thin fingers wrapped around his hand and pulled him to his feet.
"Crowman?" Boone wanted to know.
"No. I am Red Demise."
"So you have heard of me as well?" Crowman came from the same door. He looked identical to Red Demise but had black beak, "Looks like you know about a lot. Why don’t you tell us about yourself too?"
"How did you get your life back?" man masked by Tragedy invaded his personal space.
"The Woman in Blue revived me."
"Ah, she wants to kill you for good. I should have seen this reason coming."
The wooden masks, with perpetual same expression, watched each others in silence.
"Boone. I am sorry but you can't go from here." Crowman said.
"You're making me a prisoner?"
"This is a factory. Not a prison. Don’t expect shackles but don’t expect freedom either."
"Work for us." Red Demise spoke with his beak which did not move.
"Work?" Boone was about speak up against them till a thought spur in his head.
If I stay here, I can revive those medieval ghosts and save myself.
"Okay." Boone mumbled, not telling them about the thing which had happened to him last night. If he told them he was being followed then the factory men could even kill him, "What will be my work?"
"Mopping the floor, of course." Crowman told.

But with the age of VR, everyone still dreamed of that next step, the next level of adventure. And after a hundred years, it has finally arrived. The first consoles, known as Seeds, mass distributed among the people, with such realism that they no longer qualified as a Virtual Reality, but as an Artificial Reality.

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.2
Technically abandoned. I will be reposting an updated version of the story one chapter at a time. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.

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.
