Prologue - Remnants of the Past
Waiting in a dim hole searching for the way out. In spite of all that I can't believe that I'm stuck in here, in this dark cavern having no physical body. I can't think about my name, or the faces of my colleague, my companions, and family. All things considered, as though I think about my parents any longer. I can't recollect the majority of their countenances any longer, yet despite everything I can review what happened before I got here.
-oOo-
I was ten years of age when I flee from home. Being mishandled by your guardian(parent) was the most noticeably awful thing done to me,and I was the only child. I pondered in the city for a considerable length of time, and found the countryside, a wide open place where I discover a homestead land. I figure out how to get some assistance from the proprietor of the ranch, yet I have to work for nothing in return for haven and sustenance. When I was sixteen years of age, the ranch was sold to a rich man, and I have to move out and find somewhere else to sit tight. I went to the city and fortunately affectionate an occupation, and rent some old appartment. Here I got the chance to meet individuals that I can call family. I could be a typical young person, having a decent chuckle, going out with the guys, and play some computer games. In my nineteenth birthday, my companions got me a Virtual Reality console as a present and it was the happiest day of my life. Having no game installed to it yet, it was upon me to purchase a VR gaming card for it.
I got my bank card and went to the closest bank to pull back some cash. I realize that a VR gaming card is costly yet I can't exhaust my savings. After I have my cash I rapidly went to a VR gaming shop to purchase the gaming card. When I entered the building I rapidly search the first person shooter to RPG. I just let out a sizable chunk of air in disillusionment realizing that I can't manage the cost of a solitary gaming card. As I was looking down at the floor, something got my attention. It was an old box under the racks of the Gaming Cards. I thought to myself that someone must have dropped it, when I lifted it up, I took a look at it and read the title of the game. The Dreamland of Sword and Magic 'Helarion'. Perhaps it was the first rpg game for the VR console as the container was extremely old. I saw that the cost was moderate, my eyes was currently brimming with life. "At least I can use my console even if it's the oldest game". When I got to the counter, the clerk was looking at me with a confused look ,and she said that she didn't had a game like this before. She scanned the bar code and the price appeared at the monitor. I told her that it was my birthday and this was the first game that I will buy, the clerk listening to my words wrapped the VR gamming card and sold the item for free and told me a Happy Birthday. She said that if I ever need another game card, she would give me a fifty percent discount, yet I was a blockhead and turned her down. I expressed gratitude toward her and left the building. I purchased some cup noodles at a convenient store to eat for tomorrow morning. When I returned home, I ate some cake that my companion baked for me. After that I quickly set up the VR console. The Vr gaming card was all gold in shading, it appears like that it was newly made. I immediately installed the game, I was waiting and sitting tight for it to be done as I read the introduction and the brief world history.

"Helarion, a world loaded with myths, beasts, mystical creatures, war and conflict. A world where no one but you can spare it from the Demon Lord." and a cluster of different words that doesn't generally make a difference.
As a *ding* sound was heard, the installation of the game was done. I briskly set down at my bed, and wear the VR console as I start the machine.
As my cognizance was being hauled out of my body into the game, I fell sort of mixed up, and I can't feel my physical body any longer. At that point I was welcomed with the title of the game, same with a wonderful soundtrack to it. I command the system to start the game, and I was welcomed by a lovely young lady. In spite of the fact that I was expecting that the game will be more pixelated on the grounds that I suspected that it was an old game. Be that as it may, the presence of the young lady before me was fairly genuine. "Welcome Hero to the universe of Helarion, I am the God of All, the maker of the considerable number of Gods, this world, and the animals that live in it. You just have one mission, that is to spare this world from the Demon Lords and keep up the balance of this world. Be prepared and have good fortune, as the world is in your grasp."
After she said that, I was sent to a room with a body. I modified the presence of it, and picked a mage class. The game begins in book one, the Great war of Helarion. It was incredible that it has action from the begin, the mission was to help the King and slaughter the attacking Demon Lord. The game said that there were no less than seven Demon Lords, and the one that we're going to fight was one of them. We marched to where the Demon Lord and the devils was, as we walk and execute beasts I was experiencing the instructional tutorial, Status menu, Hp, Mp, how to utilize aptitudes, use skills et cetera.
It was going incredible and I'm having a good time, the war begins and I'm killing a ton of cronies, and picking up levels. My part was only an apprentice mage, yet I can say that I'm the most capable one of the considerable number of disciples. Boisterous blasts can be listened, and metal to metal clashing. There was likewise a considerable number of magic spells being thrown that shelled both sides. As our strength was winning, the Ruler(King) and his squad *including me* was going to slaughter the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord was stating his last words, and was sitting tight for his demise to come. I was somewhat eager, and chant my strongest spell, and shoot it at the diminishing Demon Lord. When it associated and made an enormous impact, I gained a lot of levels ,and a screen appears before me.
Congratulations on killing the first Demon Lord.
You got a new title.
When you utilize this title,
a boost of stats will be added, and
you will gain new strength.
After the notice box showed up, the sentiment of the game was gone, and to some degree it feels realistic. I can now feel the warm air, as the surroundings was more detailed and real, however I simply overlooked it as I was excited for my new title.When I was reading the notice box, I heard the King shouts as loud as possible. "Kid, keep an eye out." Suddenly I felt torment from my back, and I hack a sizable chunk of blood. Three mysterious bolts hit my back, making me tumble to my knees. A High Priest was recuperating the injuries, yet I heard that it's futile, as the bolts were cursed, and only death anticipates me. My companions were in wrath, and look for the Demon who shoot the arrows. I was confounded, in what manner would I be able to felt so much torment, this is only a VR game. I shouldn't feel this much pain, it was getting harder to breath, my comrades and the King was conversing with me, however as my sight diminishes out, and little by little my hearing was gone, I could just pondered internally.” Is this seriously happening? am I truly going to pass on?”
My consciousness was gliding in a vacant space. I don't know the amount of time passed, however it feels like an eternity. At that point I saw a light, I float as quick as I can to draw close to this light, and when I drew close to it, I understand that it was a wisp.A blue wisp, and its body was carrying on like a smoke that transmits the blue light. It only has a head, thin body and arms. All of a sudden it opened its eyes that was just a brilliant light, and when I took a look at its eyes, my consciousness was being sucked into it. I attempted to fight it, however it was getting increasingly hard to escape, and when I was going to get consumed, I shut my eyes in apprehension.
What's more, when I opened my eyes, a blue notice box showed up.
You are now a newly born wisp.
-oOo-
What's more, here I am, searching for a way out at this hollow. I can hardly imagine how this transpired, I was simply playing a VR game, turned into a hero, however I got killed in the process, and now I'm stuck being a wisp. Stuck in this hollow, and can't find a way out.
I was going to get crazy, yet a superb thing happened. I finally found a light, the exit to this cave, I rapidly glide and as was going to get close to the way out, I stop and take a good look at the outside world.

I Need Time
An action, adventure, mystery and strategy story about a strong male lead. Author note: First time author, good amount of buffer chapters (over 50k words) so I will not drop this book anytime soon. This book will mostly be from the perspective of the MC. On average +5k words will be published per week. I have not chosen some of the genres and tags as I do not wish to give away parts of the story. I added the content warning tags as there will come a time for profanities, gore and maybe "traumatising" content. Though, in my opinion the content will be mild if not light. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER***** Synopsis: A college ICT student transmigrates to another world filled with magic and learns magic from a dragon. MC uses modern knowledge to develop magitech technology. MC starts his adventure using the technology he develops! Saving princesses, fighting hidden criminal organizations, learning how horribly medieval peasants live, reasoning with uneducated narrow minded people, investigating the nature of magic and searching for gods... Story review: A fantasy/sci-fi story filled with some common cliches yet presents somewhat original ideas and a few unexpected twists & turns here and there. This novel also explores a few of the commonly ignored topics concerning medieval fantasy like hygiene, culture, education(ignorance, narrow mindedness) and the fact that everybody is short because magical crops cost too much. Modern knowledge in such a setting can often times revolutionize the world if the protagonist is not an idiot or weak willed or thinks something stupid like he should not intervene in a society that systematically practices unequality of opportunity, slavery and other nasty things, of course sometimes the protagonist can be just unlucky by being enslaved, etc. In our case we are granted a protagonist who had an initial stroke of luck, learning magic from a dragon instead of struggling for years without it or randomly dieing. After that his luck goes down the drain. It is arguable whether the princess is a good stroke of luck or not, I digress. Anyway the challenges the protagonist must face will grow and no more luck or helping hands. After gaining enough power and security the protagonist will change the world for the better or at least give it a stronge push onto the right track. He will make a lot of lives better but things are never so simple and there is much more to this world than meets the eye... Missing genres & tags: Fantasy, Sci-fi, Magic. *****SPOILER*****SPOILER*****

A Tale From Azaad
Desperate and wandering, a young lord stumbles upon unknown knowledge that can help to overturn his peoples’ destiny. But can he rise to bring the prosperity his people need, or fall before it can ever take shape? AN: I hate writing synopses, so I'd recommend reading a few chapters before making a decision. Also, it's tagged as an isekai but those tropes don't appear. Warnings: I mention them, but there are a few chapters that are really gruesome. Furthermore, the innovations and advancements don't come into play until a lot later, though the framework for it all is built up early. Inspirations: South Asian history, Tales of a Reincarnated Lord and some of the histroical and kingdom-building stories on RR are inspirations for this work. If you enjoy politics, clever strategies, nation-building and technological advancement, then this story might interest you. Schedule: New chapter every Saturday at 3PM PST.
