《The Gamer》It Begins
Advertisement
Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Metal, Lightning, Time and Space. Eight natural phenomenon each goverbed by a different race.
The Elder's those that came before, decreed that the races were never to change, for example the Naiad of the Water could never become a Phoenix of the Fire.
But that would all change on 25th July 2018, the day I died.
Maybe I should backtrack a little my name is James Margret (don't ask) Simmons, a sixteen year old london born male that lives in colchester, I was walking home from my part-time job at Subway when I got a phone call, not really thinking I stepped out into the road whilst answering, what came next was rather bittersweet. A car going about 20 miles over the speed limit hit me side on, i flew over it getting soem pretty sweet if painful air time before being hit by a second i was dead on impact.
Now i know what your thinking if I am dead how am I telling you this well hold on to your hats kids because this is wheee it gets interesting.
There was a bright light and I appeared in an old-school cinema theater, it seemed to have been abandoned for some time as everything had a thin layer of dust. Out if curiosity I looked around a bit before taking a seat, I can freak out about dying later now is the time to be calm and collected.
As I settled down the screen flashed twice before writing appeared.
Ok so I don't remember my previous life sometimes a reincarnation remembers their first life at least they do in fiction but that doesn't seem to be the case here but I can think more on that at another time and if he was prime minister I may even meet him that'll be trippy if I work it out before hand.

After mentally running through the positives and negatives I decided that whether or not I was offered The Gamer ability I probably would have chosen yes but with the Gamer, I definitely selected yes.
You have selected yes, you have gained 1 free stat point to put anywhere.
Please choose your race
Gallifreyan- rather avaerage in the long run, basically a longer living human, this race has +2 to 2 stats and basic proficiency in one skill (you may be able to eventually evolve this into timelord if you follow the correct timeline).
Timelord- The lords of time itself this race's lifespan varies greatly due to their regeneration feature and are incredibly intelligent- +3 to intelligence and regeneration feature.
Alien- create your own race, planet and culture with appropriate stats and abilities and we will incorporate them into the whoniverse.
Dalek- mutated squid in tanks indiginous to the planet Skaro these xenophobic monsters are incredibly tough to kill, and wish tonkill anything not dalek- this race gains +3 to constitution and the emotional xenophobic murderer feature.
"Game will I be able to return to whoniverse if I die?"
If you choose to.
"Then for my first playthrough I select Timelord."
The screen flashed once
Timelord selected please apply stats.
Strength:1
Dexterity:1
Constitution:1
Intelligence:(1+3)4
Wisdom:1
Charisma:1
Luck:1
Points:(5+1)6
Please note that had you chosen no you would have still been reincarnated here but both race and stats would have been randomized, you would not have remembered your life as James Simmons and you would not have had the gamer feature.
"Thats a terrifying thought." In order to survive my physical and health stats should be what I focus on so I'll put points into strength, dexterity, constitution and luck.
Strength:(1+2)3

Prodigy- +2 to intelligence and wisdom.
Lucky number 13- gain 1 additional regeneration
Negotiator- +4 to charisma and luck
Warlord- +2 to strength and dexterity and basic knowledge on weaponisation.
This took some thought lucky number 13, negotiator and warlord are all incredibly beneficial. Weighing all the pro's and con's as well as what i knew about Doctor who I quickly decided against Lucky number 13, by the end of the 12th doctors run he wanted to die but decided he was needed so put the needs of the many against what he wanted and regenerated, I didn't want that so no, The Time war is coming so warlord may be useful. But at the same time negotiator offers some massive boosts...hmm "Game do you have a coin I can use?"
Why?
"I can't decide between Warlord and Negotiator"
I will grant you both now if you agree to either redeem or kill Davros.
"Agreed"
Done...fetaures applied
Reincarnation sequence initiated....

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.

Being Frank
**Author's Note** This was my 7th attempt at writing this story. I've worked on the story since 20 years ago but my writing style and skills haven't been satisfactory to me. So after working as a digital content manager for 2 years and after a very long deliberation I've decided to drop this 7th attempt and start on my 8th attempt. This 8th attempt will be the same story but starting from a different point in the timeline of my story. Thank you for your support on this 7th try, it is only due to your reviews and comments that I have the confidence to work hard on my 8th attempt. I started on my 8th attempt with the intention that my 8th attempt will be the final one as I'm a lot more confident and content with my where my writing skills are currently at. Volume 1 In a world filled with magic, war, giants and other awesome races lives Frank. Who being Frank is somewhat of a hermit. He loves to tinker with various contraptions trying to bend the laws of magic to his will. Through his successes he has garnered some attention; unwanted attention. If only that was all there was to it. .... war is coming Volume 2 Frank was born as a normal child, born in a normal family. His father was a scientist and was busy working most days. This is also why Frank was especially excited when his father decided to take an extended holiday to travel to Asia with his family. But their trip turns out to be one from which there is no going back. Writer's notice: I will continue to participate in the NaNoWriMo every November till I finish all that I have planned to write. I expect to have this story finished in 14 years approximately.Update:I was unhappy with how I had first written the first and second volume but am leaving the editing and finishing of those volumes till later and have started on the third one. The chronological order so far is 2-1-3. Might fix that too later.
