Soaring Dragon Continent, Mt. Zu
Qiu Zhen was seated in a meditative position absorbing the qi in the air. He has already broken into the second qi realization realm. He knew that this was only the beginning state and he could hardly be considered a strong cultivator. For those his age sure he would be strong, however the people who have cultivated for years could kill him with a finger.
Qi Realization was only the first step, and it had a total of nine levels before breaking into the next realm. The first level of Qi Realization the cultivator is able to sense other cultivators as long as they aren’t four levels above their own. The second level the cultivators meridians goes through a transformation, they are deconstructed and reconstructed being reborn. This enhances the meridians to absorb more rich qi in the air, and allows the cultivator to have a sudden burst of energy when needed. Above the second level is the third level which enhances eyesight, so one could see fifty meters ahead of them.
Qiu Zhen’s mother always kept him updated on the topics of the cultivation world. She told him that it was highly unstable and the seven kingdoms were suspecting someone in the palace to have killed the emperor. Qiu Zhen was excited and his heart couldn’t calm down, because the people in the seven kingdoms were gathering information faster than he thought they would. However, he secretly hoped they wouldn’t link it to his brother, because Qiu Zhen wanted to get revenge on him with his own hands.
Soaring Dragon Continent, Emperor’s Palace
Within the emperor’s palace were seated eight figures who were staring at each other. These figures were all extremely strong each one of them were Paragons of Truth, and were all highly respected in their kingdoms. Currently a meeting was taking place to determine what to do about the position of emperor and Chang Mu’s death.
“Chang Chi, you’ve been oddly quiet for some time now. How could you be so calm and quiet after your brothers death, you should have caused a storm but you didn’t.”
“No I think you’re mistaken elder brother Gan Fu i’ve been doing my own research into who could have done this. The palace has been swept clean and every subordinate is being interrogated, it’s only a matter of time before the truth comes to light.”

“So you say, but we need results. Poor Chang Mu, reaching the immortal realm only to die five years after by some fiend. If I even get a whiff of him, he will have a fate worse than death!”
“Calm down elder sister Chyou Liu i’m sure my brother's murderer will be caught soon. What we need to know is who refined the Six Demon Sealing poison, once we find them we can find the buyer. The buyer has to be the one who gave it to Chang Mu.”
The seven figures nodded in approval, this was no time to accuse Chang Chi even if he did seem suspicious. What they needed to do now was find out who refined such a pill, and once they found out the rest would be connecting dots. However to find the master of such a creation would not be easy, the pill masters numbered billions and searching each of them would take months if not years.
“Fine! Chang Chi you say you have nothing to do with Chang Mu’s death but I find it highly strange that in the last two days the death’s of six Paragons of Truth who served the palace aren’t connected to you.”
The others also nodded in agreement, because it is strange that six Paragon of Truth’s were killed in a matter of two days. They wouldn’t connect the dots if the Paragons weren’t related, however that wasn’t the case and each of them served the palace. This meant that someone was getting rid of these people for a reason and they needed to know the reason. The only person who could cause the death of these people was Chang Chi, or some expert who hate the palace.
Chang Chi didn’t know what to say, he simply smiled at the others. “I assure you that this matter isn’t related to me. Those men were highly suspected of poisoning the emperor so I personally interrogated them and when I found out they knew nothing so I let them go.”
“They must have ticked off some old elder and died, that or they knew something and tried to tell but before they could someone killed them. Go ahead and ask my wife, and the servants, I, Chang Chi have never left the palace in these past two days.”

The seven figures glanced at a servant girl who shrieked as the looked at her. She nodded her head several times to confirm that Chang Chi never left the palace.
They thought this was suspicious, but since he never left then someone else must have done thing. The person who was doing this had to be the person who killed Chang Mu and he was cleaning up any loose ends. What needed to be done now was to find the rest of the Paragons who served the palace and place them under careful watch, to see if anything would happen.
How would these seven figures understand the Chang Chi is playing with them in the palm of his hand. They would never figure out it was him, he hired the best assassin there is and paid an enormous sum of money to get the job done. Not only that, the letter he sent never contained his name nor origin and was burned after being read so it was untraceable. Inside he was laughing at these fools, he was playing them like a game of chess, every move he made is highly calculated.
“I say we stop accusing him and get to the urgent matter at hand. We are without an emperor, and I suggest we get a new one. The perfect candidate would obviously be Jian Bai. He has a good sense of control and he rules with an iron first, he’s also the most likely to become the next immortal. Only fifty-six years of age and already a Paragon of Truth, give him another twenty-fifty more years and he become an immortal.”
Bam!
Elder Gan Fu slammed his first on the table, it was obvious that Jian Bo was supporting his own brother to becoming the next emperor. This would make his kingdom control the other six kingdoms and the kingdom in their hands was not going to be a good thing.
“Jian Bo! Its obvious you would support your own kingdom I suggest Jun Jiaying. She has the best experience and a female in charge would have many supporters not to mention she has yet to wed.”
The exchange of who should become the next emperor went back and forth, it was obvious each kingdom wanted their own to be in charge. They only picked the youngest Paragon of Truth to become the next because they would have the most time to become an immortal.
Chang Chi was stunned, these people gave him no face. He was the emperor’s brother and yet they didn’t even consider him worthy of inheriting the title. His eyebrows kept twitching as he listened to who they volunteered.
“Listen, I suggest we do this…..”
Soaring Dragon Continent, Mt. Zu
Lien Meili is so proud of her son, he is a cultivation genius. If only he was born fifteen years sooner then he could rise and become the next emperor. Today she came bearing news of what is going on in the cultivation world, and this news would change the his future.
Sensing his mother coming closer Qiu Zhen knew that she must have come bearing news for him. He stopped meditating and looked up at her waiting.
“Ah, the Cultivation world is truly about to collapse. A few days ago the leader of the seven kingdoms had a meeting over Chang Mu’s death and they stopped suspecting Chang Chi. Their new focus is on the person who refined the Six Demon Sealing pill and the mysterious deaths of those Paragons that served the palace.”
"Ah, such a pill is dangerous, whoever refined such a pill is should be a grandmaster. A pill which can even cause an immortal, to turn back mortal, in the hands of more pepole, it could cause the cultivation world to turn upside down."
Qiu Zhen was shocked, it turns out that his hope for Chang Chi not being suspected came true. His blood started to boil, it was time to kick his training into overdrive. Even if he didn’t have the five Dragon pendant, he would still be able to reach a terrifying level as long as he stayed focus on cultivation.
“That isn’t all Qiu Zhen, they decided it was time for a new emperor and each kingdom wanted one of their own. However it was at a standstill of who should become the emperor, that is until Chang Chi came up with an idea.”

The 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

Welcome to Devos
Welcome to a world where humor, drama, and action clash in epic tales spanning a vast continent....Welcome to Devos An anime styled medieval fantasy world featuring heroes, gods, and demons in a grounded and story/character focused series. A world where the gods of power bestow elemental abilities on those they find worthy. Welcome to Devos is broken up into parts, each part is more or less a complete story that expands the world, characters, and kingdoms of Devos. It plays out a lot like Game of Thrones where instead of a lead character you have an entire cast, each one getting plenty of time to develop over the course of the series. It is a relatively grounded, character and story-driven adventure that focuses on people of interest and their relationships with each other, their nations, and the eight gods of power. While the story features a good blend of light and dark themes it can get really grim at times. The continent of Devos is comprised of 5 territories, they include the three kingdoms of Verdun, Ashmir, and Vespa along with the territories of two demon lords to the north and south. The time period and setting are basically what you would find in a fantasy anime. There are eight gods of power which wield eight different elements and have the ability to "bless" individuals with certain abilities. Monsters roam the wilderness and the ruins/dungeons that are scattered throughout the landscape. Adventurers complete quests, hunt monsters, and explore the vast continent. We've got heroes, demon lords, gods, spys, special operations assault teams, phantom eagles, kings & queens, cursed chickens, talking goblins, and a whole shit ton more already in with plenty more coming soon.
