(View change, Sarah)
Sarah is chanting something in a cave "Holy light come forth at once, rid the world of this foul evil and cleanse its soul from this realm, HOLY LIGHT!" Sarah is currently in a cave on a quest to defeat all the undead in here so that people can begin mining for resources in it. She has two other people with her that she found randomly her first day becoming an adventurer.
Sarah is a duel mage along with her first class, swordsman. Meaning she can use two types of magics, she can use holy magic, and water magic. Her special class's name is heavenly water mage, it's not that common but that doesn't mean she isn't the only one who has gotten it in the world. The second person in the party is Reggy, he has a pretty good class too.
Reggy's class is talented swordsman mage, what this means is that he is innately talented at swordsman ship and his progress with it will increase really fast. But not only that, he also has a special magic that is quite rare, sword enchantment magic. What that means is that he can alter swords with magic, making them able to be stronger, or shoot fire spells, etc.
The third person in the party is Clara, she has a pretty good class though not as good as the other two, its still pretty good. Clara's class is the huntress class, meaning she is extremely good at using bows and small knifes, and she is also extremely good at cooking due to her getting used to hunting and her class improving her cooking skills a bit too.
The four undead Sarah just chanted at all fall to the ground and turn to ash after a white light flows over them. Then Reggy is seen killing some undead as well, he chants "Oh great fires of endless volcanoes, heed my call and enhance my sword's capabilities, DAMAGING FLAME!" (Author note, Damn that was a cringy chant I'm not gonna lie I'm sorry for killing everyone's brain cells with that.)

Reggy's sword lights on fire and the metal glows red and he seems to be doing a lot more damage now that his sword is like that. Reggy kills six undead and then looks towards Clara who is a bit further ahead from Reggy and Sarah. Clara shoots 5 arrows with her bow and they all hit their marks, the heads of five undead.
Everyone celebrates once the undead are, well, dead. I say "Alright, now we just gotta go collect our reward, let's head on back and get it and then we can go get something to eat before we each head our separate ways." They both nod in agreement and then we start to walk back to the adventurers guild, but on our way back someone comes running up to us shouting,
"EMERGENCY, MISS SARAH AND HER PARTY, THERE'S AN EMERGENCY, HEAD BACK TO THE GUILD IMMEDIATELY AND GO TO THE GUILD MASTER'S ROOM RIGHT AWAY." I look at the two others and say "Alright, let's hurry then." Then we begin to run instead of walk like we were a minute ago, it seems something very bad is about to happen.
We arrive at the adventurer's guild in a few minutes and then head straight to the guild master's room. I think to myself about why we were called here but I just cant seem to figure out why. The guild master's name is Yaosi Quantum. Yaosi speaks up as soon as we enter the room "Ah, good you three are here, please sit down I have something extremely important to talk to you about."
We sit down just like Yaosi asked and lean in and listen closely to what he is going to say. Yaosi coughs and then begins "Ahem, as you are aware of, the land of Satoos has no demon lord right?" I say "Yes that is correct, if I remember correctly the last demon lord was killed a few years ago and we haven't had one since."

The guild master sighs and says "If only they taught you kids the truth in that damned school instead of a bunch of bullshit lies. Then we would have been able to prepare for something like this and hell you might have trained harder than you do now at that school." Reggy says "What do you mean by taught us the truth?"
Yaosi sighs again and then says "We actually do have a demon lord, his name is Rein Strevus, he is the late Triton Strevus's son." We all gasp at this information and then I say "But wait, if this is true then why didn't he come after anyone for revenge or even attack anyone at all or do anything bad?" Yaosi nods and then says,
"Actually, Rein doesn't mean us any harm quite the contrary in fact, he likes humans and doesn't hold any resentment towards us and also wishes to protect us." Yaosi pauses for a moment and then continues, it seems that he loves to explain this "Rein is actually friends with quite a bit of people in Satoos believe it or not."
Clara says "So he is like an angel and less of a demon lord?" Yaosi nods and then says "Indeed, actually the few people who know about his existence here have taken to calling him the angelic demon lord of protection." Yaosi coughs and then says "But enough talk about Rein, its time we talk about why you're here."
Yaosi pauses for a moment before swallowing some spit and continuing "A new demon lord has awoken in Satoos, and since a new one has awoken he is even stronger then Rein, and that's not all, when we tried to gauge the strength of the new demon lord with a power appraising crystal, the crystal turned pure black and then released a dark purple and black mist for a few seconds."
Yaosi swallows again and then says "T-Then, the crystal shattered, we could have sworn that we saw a glowing purple face in the mist before it dispersed, and not only that but the man holding the crystal, h-he died for some odd reason, we don't know the cause of death, he just died, his eyes rolled to the back of his head showing white pupils and then he died."
I speak up "So I'm assuming you want us to go fight the demon lord since we are the strongest here, and kill him if we think he is a danger to everyone?" Yaosi nods and then says "That mist, it was evil, pure evil, I-I don't know how to describe it, but I want you to go and kill him, no matter what because even if he isn't going to do anything to us yet, he will surely do something later."
I say "Alright, where is this demon lord located, we will go after him right guys?" They both nod at me and then Yaosi tells us the location of the demon lord and we start to walk out of the room. before we completely exit he says "Oh and one more thing, for some reason Rein isn't wanting to help us get rid of this demon lord, he's probably cautious due to him being stronger than him."
He pauses for a moment and then continues "So you won't be getting any help here, so be very careful and do your best, there's no telling what may happen, go tomorrow, it would be best if you waited until then, after all you will have to prepare."

The Misplaced Dungeon
The gods on four worlds were in trouble, or rather the clique that had taken over those worlds development and refused to listen to the established but less powerful gods already in power were in trouble. Their mismanagement was causing four previously lush and pleasant worlds to become harsh and inhospitable. So taking another leaf out of world building 301 they arbitrarily decided to seed the worlds in question with new dungeons they could control or at least influence. One fine day Azurea, self declared Goddess of dungeons on those four worlds discovered a fascinating world; it was teeming with life, literally overburdened with teeming billions of sophonts. Even better in her view many were atheists and due to the rapidly expanding population many of those were brand new souls. So without further ado she soulnapped one hundred of them for her cliques experiment. This is the story of one of the randomly selected beings, a sixteen year old girl with anger management issues, in fact Mary Silvestre has been diagnosed a borderline psychopath by a lazy school system.

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.
