《Icy Vendetta》Ch 3: Mozart on Keyboad
Advertisement
### Mozart on Keyboard ###
In a room far away from Zero and the hospital a man is silently cursing under his breath. He has been typing continuously for the past 3 hours trying to get into the firewall of a game called Mythica. The idea is simple get in retrieve the information and get out. But the advanced AI puts up so many layer of defenses and so fast that he is unable to go in.
Being the world's best hacker it baffles him. It took him less than 60 seconds to get into the Pentagon servers but more than 3 hours just to get a login prompt. Suddenly he gets a pop up.
"STOP!!! It is too much of an effort for us to duke it out. If you stop now I will grant you any one wish other than personal information. It can be only in game though."
It took Thirteen less than a second to understand that this was the AI who he was so vigorously trying to hack.
"I will hold you to that and will send someone to collect on my behalf.", replied back Thirteen grinning from ear to ear. From what he could find out from the underground community this game was virtually unhackable and realized he was the first person ever who made the AI sweat a little.
The smirk on his face immediately dissipated when he found that his cellphone was blinking to alert a new caller. Unit had a lot of unwritten rules and first amongst them was that "You never let the General go to voicemail".
"My chambers. NOW.", came the short order.
"General I was in the middle of something can I come in 10 mins.", replied Thirteen solemnly.
The incoming shout was so loud that he had to hold the phone away from his ears "I don't care if you are naked and stroking yourself. I want you here NOW!!!."

Well the General always had limited vocabulary thought Thirteen and then with a deep sigh proceeded to the stinky Basement.
He stopped in front of the door and took a few deep breaths trying to figure out what explanation to give to the General. As a golden rule of thumb everyone knows that the General was aware of everything so it wasn't wise lying to him.
"Come in before I break the damn door and bring your ass inside.", said the voice from inside the room.
"Hello General. I was just trying to take in some oxygen before coming in inside Sir.", replied Thirteen. He was the only one who ever dared joke in front of the General.
The General unfortunately was not in the best of moods. He gave Thirteen a look which could have made a tree shrivel in fear and then growled
"If I want to listen to a jackass speak, then I would rather listen to politicians who try to suck up to me. Report about Zero's situation".
Thirteen took about 2 mins to brief the General about everything he knew.
The General's face darkened. Even with the gruff exterior he considered each of the Unit as his family and their families as his own. He liked the Taylors; having spent a couple of Christmas at their home. Although he had already gotten the word from Yuri it still bothered him that the situation was this grim. He knew that if Zero went on a rampage containment would be the last of their worries.
He ordered Thirteen to give all possible cooperation to Zero but to act as his restraint when things went too far.
It took less than 5 seconds for Thirteen to break into the Drak guild's website. He found out that most people kept their RL identity a secret and not even the guild leader knew about it.

He also found out that the guild leader and other co leaders were over level 300 and considered to be the strongest players of Mythica.
He was about to give up on this avenue and search other means when he saw that the guild has hired a public relations officer to represent them in real life.
"Well Mr Stanson how do you do. I am afraid I will be arranging a meeting for you with Zero."

Pawns of God
Five Lines PitchJoin Mark in his fight against a God and change the game's destiny! Delve into a slow-paced story focused on the progression of the main party and the development of the world. Mark himself will be narrating his life inside the game, and to a much lesser extend outside. Guild building, economy, and strategy are the central pieces of the novel. Mark is not overpowered, he will have to build his own power through action-packed battles, trials, traumas, love, and death. Accompany him, the healer and the strategist, an agent of chaos, in the adventure of his life. Without further preamble, I will let Mark take the mic. SynopsisHi! My name is Mark. This is my story, my life as I live it day after day. I’m in my thirties, and there’s nothing I love more than playing online games. I’ve just joined the action on the newest VRMMO game, Pawns of God. An immersive experience you can play while sleeping. Of course, as a game that takes pride in its long development and technological advances, everything inside seems and feels real. Beware, this is not a game-turns-real story. I love my own world and I would detest being summoned into another one. If that ever happens, I’ll just quickly take my life and be done with it. I play with my friends, in a party of 5. We have taken several roles, but lately, I've come to love being a healer. It's my secret ambition to someday be the shotcaller. I am not overpowered. If there is any bug or exploit in the game, they are yet to be discovered. Anyhow, for a game of this scale, the company is pouring all of its resources into test servers, QA, and beta tests. I don’t expect to find any, so I’ll be playing the game just like any other person. I must say, though, I am easily distracted, as you will immediately notice once you start. I'm working on it, I promise to improve! I am no hero. Being in my 30s, my heart is too old for this shit. I wouldn’t mind being one, of course. Who hasn’t dreamt of it? Either way, I’m not doing any grand quest to save the world. Whatever the game throws to their users, I’ll be there to experience it. Most of my life, at least the interesting parts that I’ll be narrating, happen inside the game itself. Rarely, there will be some IRL (In Real Life) chapters. You’ll understand, however, that as a freelance software developer, there is not much I can entertain you with when outside the game. Did I say I love games? Well, I’m also a fan of LitRPG literature. You know, journeys of magic, relationships, personal development, items, skills, discovery… In the spirit of not overwhelming my public, I’ll condense each chapter into circa 1500 words. You might have noticed some tags over this story, let me elaborate. I like to swear. I’m not shy when it comes to cursing my enemies, friends, or even myself. When there’s blood, I tell it as I see it. And… it hurts to admit it, but I’m not a casanova. Of course, this doesn’t mean that I won’t ever find love. So, in case I do end up finding it, let’s keep my sexual options open. As for traumas, none yet, but the future is vast and unknown.

The Shattered Universe Saga - Deus Vult Alpha from Omega
This is book one. Rick West, a wounded Marine with a very unique past is transported, with a significant portion of Earth's population, to a new universe. One that is shattered and yet to coalesce under a divine law. This is the story of a military man who begins the saga immature, rough, careless of other’s feelings. A young man whose focus is on getting laid, fighting, and winning at every turn, regardless of cost. He gets caught up in a strange occurrence, along with a billion others, and finds himself in an oddly familiar place where life is lived as a timed-event role-playing game. He discovers that within the shattered universe he is a Mystic Player, a Marshal, a figure of power, potential, and probability. If he wins, he may even able to wrestle unto himself the very throne of heaven. Rick starts to build his Pantheon with his most trusted companions, friends, family, and a harem of strong and talented women. He faces challenges within himself and others, and also must lead his faction into battle with men and monsters. As Rick and his companions progress through the adventure games within the pocket universe, he develops a greater understanding of his humanity and the qualities of what makes each of us uniquely valuable. He grows mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, without really noticing how he is leaving his old existence behind. Striving against him for truly ultimate power are a thousand others with the same potential, the same possibilities. All are aligned on the spectrum from the brightest of minds, the lightest of hearts, to the darkest of souls. All Mystic Players, be they Monster or Marshal, share one characteristic. They thrive in chaos. And a shattered universe is a universe in chaos. At the end of the Saga, will the winner be someone worthy of emulation and even, if it were appropriate, of worship as an exemplar of divinity. Will the title granted to the Final Victor be EXEMPLAR, or will the title be DESPOILER? That is the question.
