“Wai… wait a minute! No matter what… this is pretty bad isn’t it!!?”
“Don’t worry about it. Or what? You hate it? Don’t tell me you’re a, you know, what they call a herbivorous guy?”
“Who are you calling a herbivorous guy!?”
Louise covered her mouth giggling; her natural charms were all showing, “Well, you don’t look so happy that you can sleep with a beautiful girl like me. And so a herbivore, however, if you aren’t one and really happy to sleep together with me then shut up and let me sleep, okay? We’ve already sleep together for almost eight years.”
Don’t call yourself beautiful!
“Just what I had said earlier, that story is already old! We have already graduated from high school and can be called proper adults. Something like this … Anyway, I’m happy that you believe and trust me but this is still bad in all sorts of way.”
“It’s nothing. I believe in you, that’s all.”
Louise…
Louise’s trust moved Rain’s heart. However,
“Don’t worry, I trust you because the truth is… even though you put on such a tough act all the time, you’re actually just a really spineless guy… that’s all.”
“NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!”
This girl! I take back what I had said before… this girl is a demon!
“Hmph, so be it. Not like I’m interested in such things, do whatever you want.”
“Ah, so you are really a herbivorous guy? No interest in the opposite sex and as a human being, disgusting. In short, they should just go and blow up somewhere … is that right?!”
“That’s way too harsh! Do you have some kind of grudge against herbivorous guys?!”
“Enough joking and sleep. I’m tired, I don’t want to sleep in my room, it’s too lonely and didn’t you know I just experienced my first death today.”
This girl …
Only then did Rain notice. Louise seemed to be shock by her first virtual reality experience. But it seems like she was also extremely tired.
“Haa, fine. Good night.”
However, that is that and this is this.

Calling me a herbivorous guy was a mistake. This bro knows how to take advantage.
Rain pulled the blanket and entered. His hands touched Louise waist under the blanket as he hugged her.
Louise did not shirk away from him.
“Hey.” Louise uttered.
Rain did not dare breathe. His hands were still by her waist, and his leg was still on hers.
Louise smacked her lips, “What are you doing?”
Rain did not know how to answer, so he did not speak.
“Don’t go around touching and sleep.”
But outside his expectation, Louise only reprimanded with a sentence.
Rain’s body had been tightened, awaiting her fury, but he never expected those words. What did it mean? Why didn’t you beat me up? Why were you so calm?
Louise wriggled around while her back was facing him. The towel on her body slipped even more. Now her entire smooth back was revealed but still, she carried on sleeping.
The bed was filled with the fragrance of a woman, which of course came from Louise. Her body’s warmth was even constantly emitted, so it would be a wonder if Rain could carry on sleeping.
His heart began to turn itchy like a cat’s claw.
Rain’s heart was beating, but he was also emboldened. This time, he began touching on purpose. He was moving his palm on the girl’s waist!
Flesh!
The feeling was really good!
Louise remained motionless, but she said, “Sleep. Stop messing around. I’m sleepy. If you don’t stop, I’m going to tell Auntie what you’re doing.”
These words were like buckets of cold water that extinguished Rain’s hot body. Hearing this threat, Rain had no choice but to obey.
Who is the scariest in the world? Is it the monster wolf or the spider from the game?
No! Without hesitation, Rain would answer; it was his mother!
And so, he just held Louise body on his embrace and decided to sleep.
Before closing his eyes, Rain couldn’t help but looked at Louise’s beautiful, quiet and gentle face. If this could continue forever, quietly staring at her, growing up together with her, having children together, growing old together, how good would that be?

However, such things were still too early for both of them.
In the end, Rain gradually fell into a deep sleep.
— —
Morning.
It was a brand new day.
Rain got out of his bed. He did not do anything last night, so he could not suppress the fire in his heart.
Alas, this was life.
Loneliness was where the shoe pinched!
Rain pulled the blanket and found out that Louise was gone.
After checking the surrounding, Rain secretly moved the pillow to his nose and smelled it. It was filled with the fragrance of a girl’s sweat. Of course, it wasn’t really especially fragrant, but it was a smell that made his heart at ease.
Then, Clang!
He then heard some sounds coming from the kitchen.
It seems like she had also woken up earlier than him and was in the kitchen preparing breakfast.
After sleeping as much as he needed, when he woke up and came to the kitchen, the meal prepared by Louise was producing steam on the table.
“Louise.”
“You are awake?”
“Yeah, what are we eating?”
“Fried egg and longganisa.”
“Nice, then I’ll go wash up.”
Hm, being taken care of is really not a bad thing.
Now that he finally experience living alone, he was touched at something very trivial.
Moreover, it wasn’t empty words whenever he said it was delicious. He felt sorry but it was definitely more delicious than his mother’s food.
The meal was nutritiously balanced and at the same time tasty, so it was a perfect meal.
And if she just acts like a proper girl, then she’ll be number one wife material.

The air was freezing.
The cave was quite dark and eerie.
Still, there’s only one question Rain wanted to ask, and that is: Why did I end up in a monster’s nest when I woke up?
Going back from the moment he logged inside the game, Rain couldn’t help but become confused.
— —
Because Rain was forcibly logged out inside the forest, he should have also respawned inside the forest…. Right?
That should be the case, however …. Where am I?
“This place is…!?”
When Rain opened his eyes the moment he entered the game, all he saw was darkness and when he closed it, all he saw was… darkness as well.
Why is this?
The first thing that popped into his mind was that he had become blind or something. Or maybe it was some sort of side effect from the thing happened to him when he was fighting that Big Bad Wolf.
Of course, he couldn’t rule out the possibility of him being enclosed in a small dark room.
However, the thing that he was assured of was that something was binding him. Although he couldn’t see anything but it doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to feel anything.
His body can barely move. He felt that his two arms were tied behind him.
Even if it could, there’s nothing he can do.
To be honest, having both of his arms tied behind him was a first for him. The feeling was uncomfortable and hard to describe…let’s just say that it makes you feel that you would die through no blood circulation instead.
Then fear hit him relentlessly as he panicked. That couldn’t be help.
Unless you’re a blind man yourself, anyone would panic when they were in a completely dark environment.
As soon as he realized that, his body started trembling.
…Cold.
So cold.
Maybe it was due to his sense of sight being robbed, but his sense of touch, hearing and smell became keener.
“Is anybody out there?”
He tried to call out, but didn’t get any reply other than his faint echoes.
“I repeat, is there anyone out there?”
He tried to call out again, this time with a louder voice.
Then, a screeching sound could be heard from somewhere. A sound that could make anyone felt a chill whenever they hear it.
“Screee…”
It was a reply like he wanted but …. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like a positive one. Then a weird bad stench assaulted his nose coupled with creepy rustling noise.
What was that?!
Whatever was that, Rain knows that it was not good.
“…Dammit. Don’t get cold feet!”
He scolded his frightened mind.

8 210The Beta Test
Our nameless narrator participates in a beta test for an early VRMMO game Meridian 60. That's not the real name but it captures the spirit of the adventure given the chronological and contextual era of the game. His character is unique and special but purely for mundane reasons and not because of any inherent or social significance. The first chapter which is mandatory to submit a story on RR serves as a bit of a prologue with some exposition, although I limited that to a reasonble level. I plan to begin releasing additional chapters starting Thursday, to align with the 48 hour submission approval process and also because I have something to do Wednesday. I haven't written anything but the summary and first chapter, nor have I plotted anything out. This is because my plan is to release roughly 34000 words a day, 10 chapters of ~12.5 pages each, for 3 days at which point the story will be complete. I'd have liked to plan for more but handling the interface tables and so forth needed for a data heavy litrpg slows down the writing process. 100k words is a bit short, a standard pre epic fantasy 300 page spec fic novel, but this is mostly a writing exercise and I am considering a longer project if I can maintain the pace. Probably do a different concept, maybe a dungeon core, over 5 days, since a 500 page novel is more common these days. Slight subversion of VRMMO stories Stat heavy/crunchy No paying your bills by gaming No out of game conspiracies No angst, interpersonal drama, or damsels/dudes in distress Schedule is 30000 words a day excepting the first chapter, a limitation of RRs fiction submission system Fantasy, high magic, male lead, no party, guild, or harem No gore, some profanity, no sexual content, and no current plans for anything traumatic

8 136On Venus and Mars [Vol. 1]
"Most people say their first words when they're one or two years old. The grown-ups would get all excited and they'd tell stories about that day years later.
