《Book 1: Demonic Wolfsbane》Chapter 4: Fugitive
Advertisement
Kaleb walked the busy streets until he found a small inn tucked in between two big buildings, as he walked in he scanned the crowd for any suspicious people.
Other than the normal looking hooligans and low-lives he didn’t see anyone who was too interested in him walking in to the inn from the street as he went up to rent a room and ask the innkeeper for the news around town.
After paying a couple more copper, thanks to the loot he got from when he searched the Chief’s daughter after he knocked her unconscious, he was able to hear about a group of people that just came into to town not to long ago searching for a person’s whereabouts.
Walking up the stairs and then turning left he entered his room, he walked in and then closed the door behind him.
Once that was done Kaleb decided to try and get as much rest and relaxation as he could safely and quickly before leaving town.
BANG BANG BANG a couple hours later someone banged on Kaleb door startling him awake, shaking his head to clear away the sleepiness he suddenly jolted awake when the person behind the door shouted. “Open up, we got reports of a criminal in this hotel.”
That voice was belonged to the Village Chief’s son Elder Eli, jumping up from the bed Kaleb looked around, after seeing there wasn’t any better hiding spots he decided to hide under the bed.
Just as he finished hiding the door crashed open, and as he lay there, he heard footsteps entering the room and soon all he could hear were people walking all around the room.
Elder Eli looked around the room, noticing that there were some scuff marks around the bed, from it being moved, and then he motioned for everyone one to be quiet as he spoke a bit louder than usual as he said. “Looks like no-ones here.” And then he immediately flipped the bed over exposing Kaleb’s hiding spot.

Kaleb scrambled to get up to his feet and then he ran for the nearest exit, a closed window, but before he could get closer a foot kicked into the hollow of his leg, behind his knee, knocking him down on the floor to one knee, then Elder Eli rushed in front of him and grabbed him by his scrawny neck and lifted him up.
“Well well well look who we have here, looks like I found our runaway criminal, I sure am going to have fun torturing you in the dungeons, before we all tear apart your flesh piece by piece as we devour you alive.” Elder Eli said smiling evilly.
Kaleb’s face would have paled, if if wasn’t turning red from a lack of air since he was being choked out by Elder Eli, he couldn’t believe he was about to be killed and worse he was going to become food for a bunch of mangy mutts.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
