“Ughh......”
Along with the uncomfortable sensation that made all of his five senses go crazy, his consciousness was removed from [ Philippine Lore ].
When feeling came back, and his sight was restored, he wasn’t inside that forest anymore.
“...My... room…?”
He took off his gaming headgear, opened his eyes, and stared at the ceiling above. It has been a while since he last got up.
Looking at the ceiling, Rain couldn’t help but gave a wry smile as he touched his neck. He was covered in sweat.
D*mn it, to think I met several ridiculous monsters on my first time in the game!?Can it even get any better!?
Thankfully, he had the wisdom of the ancients and managed to somehow survive!
But still …
"Haaa."
Looks like he was really completely worn out mentally that he was forcibly kicked out by the system.
Rain, couldn’t help but let out a sigh in bitterness from having to be kicked out by the system instead of dying.
He was already prepared for death at that moment, so he wasn't in the least concerned about having lost his life, but who would expect he actually won and survive against that stupid wolf.
Just what happened to him inside the game?
His body just move on his own and most importantly his movement were so amazing he couldn’t forget it. Did the game alter their body and turn it to a superhuman?
Or maybe .... did it possibly have to do with his so-called Ancient bloodline that AI was talking about?
That can’t be …
Oh well.
Rain got of his bed and fiercely stretched his back and waist.
He couldn’t affirm his thoughts and so, he doesn’t want to think about it any longer. Besides, he had a very good time inside that game.
It was just too real.
The sensation, the interaction, the fight, the anxiety, fear and excitement, as well as the monster’s behavior and attitude; all of these were too real to the point of absurdity.
Just how can a human create something like this?
After lying down quietly for a long while, Rain touched his sticky body and felt unbearable. After twisting his body, he then got out of his bed, took off his clothes and went for a shower.

After bathing in the ruthlessly cold water for a long while, Rain finally emerged out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
He threw his dirty clothes into the washing machine and turned it on. He then changed into a set of new clothes as he opened the window and looked at the darkened night sky.
The busy streets were far from his home, and because of this, Rain sported a light smile.
A quiet night calms a person’s heart!
After spacing out for a while, Rain rubbed his wet hair; it was about dry.
“But still, I’m really unlucky meeting those monsters …….”
Muttering, Rain turned on the computer. The computer buzzed to life. As soon as it connected to the internet, as routine, he accessed the game’s website. [ Philippine Lore ]

At this moment, the [ Philippine Lore ]’s official chat room had exploded.
- F*ck I died!
- Me too!
- I died just after entering the forest lol >.
- This game is too sadistic!!! I couldn’t even last for two minutes after entering the forest!!
As expected, chat room is in merry. Various curses and swearing about their deaths piled up like a mountain on the chat room.
Rain looked at all the comments and suddenly felt a bit better about his situation. It seems like I’m not the only one who met misfortune~
- Man, being a mage suck! I’m alone and was killed the moment I met a monster.
- That same goes for knights, f*ck my defense was like it was made from paper. Three hits, no four hits … I died!
- Just like what I’ve thought; Mage, Priest, and Beast Tamer was a stupid choice in the start of the game. If you have
no companions then you are literarily a goner! This class is good if you have someone with you!
- I agree with this view. Although these class will certainly become a powerhouse after leveling it high but for now, the game had just began, class with good defense and offense like knight was still better.
- 100 Likes for you.
- Holy Sh*t, what the heck is this game? I was actually killed the moment I stepped inside the forest? Is there no justice in this game? *Flips all the tables*
After that, the opposing side came out.

- To the previous poster: This was not the game’s fault. In my opinion, the game was just too real that is hard to believe. It’s too godly if you ask me. I’m even wondering how someone can create a game like this … amazing.
- Godly reply from the one upstairs!
- +10 Like
- That’s right! This game was just too real! That is why we can be killed by strong monsters we just met. This is not fiction or stories like those in fantasy novels, this is reality!
- This shows how hard reality is! What a godly game!
- Ditto!
- That’s right! How can it be so realistic!? It isn’t scientific! Really too unscientific!”
- Ditto+100!
- Ditto+120!
- I agree! That is why this game is so much fun. I’m looking forward to my next enter; I’m definitely not going to get killed easily!
- Cheers for the post upstairs!
A heated discussion exploded!
Everyone started to heatedly discuss. The center of focus was none other than [ Philippine Lore ]
This game was pretty scary and bizarre after all!
The game was just too difficult but still gives very new and exciting experiences as well as adventurers.

Dinner was sumptuous. It was fresh noodles with egg. Of course, it was the ‘Lucky Me’ branded instant noodles.
Not like Rain has no money, it’s just that Rain had gotten used to eating instant noodles as it was easy to prepare without exerting any effort. Add water then … done.
Rain eats the noodles heartedly but he suddenly heard someone rang the doorbell.
“Who is it?” Rain asked.
“Rain, its Louise.”
“Oh, I’m coming,”
Rain raised his bowl and swallowed the remaining soup. He got off the sofa, walked to the door and opened it.
“What are you doing here?”
A beautiful girl was standing outside the door. She was holding a pretty big basket.
Louise flicked her hair charmingly, “Came to deliver some of these~”
She smiled as she raised her hand showing a basket of food. Inside was cooked rice, Kaldereta, and Chicken Adobo.
Kaldereta was a goat meat stewed with vegetables and a liver paste. Vegetables may include tomatoes, potatoes, olives, bell peppers and hot peppers.
While Chicken Adobo involves of course chicken meat, and vegetables marinated in vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic which is browned in oil and simmered in the marinade.
Not waiting for Rain to respond, Louise entered her way inside, closed the door, put the basket on top of the table and sat comfortable on the chair. “Are you hungry?”
“I just finished eating”
Louise glanced at the bowl on the table and made a wry smile.
“Instant noodles again?”
“What’s wrong? It’s good.”
“Whether it’s good or not doesn’t matter. The problem is, eating too much instant foods is dangerous to your health.”
Listening to her scolding, Rain only shrugged his shoulders.
“Fine, sit down there. I haven’t eaten yet so join me.”
“But…”
“No buts, come on. Aunte asked me to look out for you so no questioning.”
Without any choice, Rain once again sits down. This was already a normal occurrence inside his room.
Rain had known Louise for many years, and between them they have already formed some sort of close connection.
Besides, his and Louise mother were very close with each other and so they couldn’t help but spent their childhood together.
Rain and Louise’s lives were intertwined for more than 16 years. Although they weren’t lovers but they were certainly
more than a sibling. They know everything there is to know about each other.
Because of this, Rain’s mom fully trusted Louise and asked her to take care of him when Rain wanted to separate and live alone.
Rain’s mom was a quite a worrywart. Because she felt that Rain leaving alone was quite dangerous, she urged her husband to buy an apartment in the high-rise building. She said she wanted the apartment for her and Rain to live together and take care of each other to give their parents a peace of mind.
And because of that, Louise was now living in the second floor, above Rain’s room.
Why did their parents think they could take care of each other?
Didn’t their parents feel since they were adults, an unrelated and unmarried male and female living together was a concern?
But Rain didn’t actually refuse. For him, Louise was like a sister so why not?
Rain’s carefree childhood years and his awkward adolescent years flew by and cemented in his memories was an image of the girl who shadowed him.

NOVA INTERIT.US
It's 2063, and the town along with much of the nation are in disarray. The decay started years before the Great Event. Our town still had hope thanks to the five families, who'd created a blockchain based water distribution system for the locals, a valuable secret hidden from the Global Water Commission and their network of mercenaries. Earlier in the mid-2040's, right after the state secessions of Idaho, Montana, and Texas, the Global Council of Water Commissioners made their deals and moved into towns throughout the country. They called it "the integration." The Commission and their contractors integrated with municipal water departments, using their organized network to invade like parasites on local services. It all coincided with the 29th Amendment to the United States Constitution, later referred to as the Regional Trident Plan. Nova is a story about survival, power structures, the turning of relationships, and the networking between people and the systems to which they belong. It’s about A.I. blockchain possibility, and its potential for human betterment versus our detriment. It’s about the question of whether or not we need to be saved from ourselves, and by who or what? The Great Event at the end of the first chapter might just be what actually saves us. The epilogue will take place in 2517. This scene is fully sketched and the full arc of the novel is set. I expect to finish Nova Interitus by summer of 2023. This is realist hard-sci-fi dystopian fiction. I hope you find Nova to be a challenging and consuming story. This is not something I planned to write. It all came to me in a dream and I haven't been able to stop writing it. This Royal Road posting is basically a beta test with chapters and drafts to get some feedback and see if there's any readership for this narrative. For the full experience read Nova on Substack. I will be narrating a podcast version later this year there. https://novainteritus.substack.com/

Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
