《A virtual reality game according to a martial artist otaku》Chapter 2
Advertisement
After running 100 laps, doing some meditation and eating in-game, Kira logged off and ate in real life and got ready for school. He had successfully increased his stamina by another 20 points.
The next day, during break and lunch, Hajime excitedly talked about his experience in the game. "OH MY GOD IT IS SOOOO EPIC!" He talked to no-one in particular "The game made me kill 10 rabbits and 2 wolves for a quest. I'm already level 3! What about you John?"
"Me? Well I am still level one but I am currently in an adventurer training center in my town, upgrading my skills." The day went on as usual, with Hajime still talking on about he was a level three with 13 kills under his belt.
Logging back on, Kira was greeted by the cold floor of the training hall. Getting up, and going for a jog seemed like a logical solution to the martial artist- he wanted to improve his stamina. After some time the trainer appeared and grunted in approval. After waking the other trainees in a not so gentle way, he approached Kira. "Hey Kira, what are you doing here?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well its just that you are obviously skilled, and I wouldn't be surprised if you have already killed someone, but this place has no meaning towards someone like you. You already know how to swing a sword correctly, the meditation that you were doing earlier to increase your stamina regeneration, these all show that training in not for you."
"You are correct, but I read in novels that you can increase your stats in a training center."
Smiling, the trainer replied "Don't you think you can't do that outside? The point of a training center is to teach a person how to fight; you already know how. You are already a man. Therefore, I honourably discharge you from the training center. You have completed the training and therefore receive a sword of your choosing and a prize on my attitude towards you."

Beckoning the shocked Kira to follow him, the trainer opened a door to the armoury. "Choose one."
Inside the room there were swords ranging from claymores, short swords and long swords. 'These aren't for me.' Looking around, Kira spied a traditional Japanese sword: A katana with a orange edge. Grabbing it as though it was his precious, Kira walked out.
"You have a good eye Kira. That sword is a good weapon and will not break easily. Anyway. Now onto my prize. Usually a person will receive one prize; you are the same but different; you get a choice." As soon as he said that, three books appeared.
Choice number one: Your weapon can extend up to four meters, impaling anything in it's wake.
Choice number two: Your weapon does 200% damage with increased chance of a critical hit .
Choice number three: This is a passive skill. Your weapon becomes a growing type weapon, growing with the user; the stronger the user, the stronger the sword.
'Well I don't posses word magic but the extend ability seems pretty attractive however the growing weapon just takes the cake. Reminds me of a certain Dao, where it grows with the prince.'
"Choice number three please." Kira thought it was the best choice; he was familiar with a katana and this one felt as though it had more secrets. Throwing the book towards him, the trainer told him to follow. As soon as Kira touched the book, it opened and disappeared. *Ding* a notification sounded.
Congratulations: You have learnt a new skill.
Skill name:Growing weapon
Skill type: Passive
Skill description: Your weapon becomes a growing type weapon, growing with the user; the stronger the user, the stronger the sword.
"Nice." Kira said to himself. Following the trainer, he was led to the same room he was when he entered; the reception. "Hey sister, give this one the standard after an amateur becomes a man."

"Alrighty. Here you go." The girl in the red dress gave Kira a cloak and a badge. *Ding*
Congratulations: You received adventurer's cloak and badge, which show that have completed the training! You receive 50 experience!
*Ding*
For being the first adventurer to complete the training, you are awarded 100 experience and 50 copper coins!
'Even more nice!' He thought to himself.
*Ding* 'What!? Another one?'
Congratulations on leveling up! You are now level two. Please distribute you stat points. Stat points available:5
"Please distribute two stat points into strength, one into agility, one into mana and one into health."
'This is the best stat points for a magic swordsman.' Kira thought to himself. He glanced at the time. "Ah shit." He swore. "I am late for tai-jitsu!" Quickly logging off, John rejoined reality.

Second Wind, legend of Pandemonium (Finished/Incomplete)
The developers of the worlds leading VRMMORPG Edge Online have decided to shut down its servers after over a decade. Shugireth Darkstar, the leader of Pandemonium, Edge Online's top guild, suffers from a deadly disease and his end is near. He hasn't left his VR pod for 5 years, as the medical nanodroids at the hospital takes care of him. Without Edge, he will die, because his physical body has already been all but destroyed by the sickness. Seeing no light at the end of the tunnel, Shugireth Darkstar, the Master of Pandemonium, stubbornly stays behind as the servers shut down... If that was all, we could end this story right here. However, that was only the beginning of the legend of pandemonium. The prelude to the movement, if you will. Shall we see what happens next? -------------- Some notes from Me (The author, gasp surprise): I first wrote this (100k) as an experiment. I saw the advice about having foils for overpowered MCs, and I watched quite a few lectures on writing. I wanted to test things out for myself and see if I could carry a story through other ways than only relying on physical conflict like some thrillers do. Thus this might lean a bit towards slice of life with a romance subplot, but I don't want to give my story away so read it if u want to know more. This was basically never intended for anyone else's eyes but my own, and written to explore writing as a process. This wasn't my attempt at writing a good book, but it turned into something that I think might interest some people, so I decided to pop it up here. It is slightly old so my style and writing skills have advanced considerably since I first started this thing. Having said that, I think it's pretty readable, but I am very interested in how other people will receive this. Please feel free to criticize it and just in general shoot me some feedback on what you think. It contains light Litrpg elements, not heavy table spam, it's just the basis of the world. Although I like that sort of thing, this was written before I even knew of Royalroad and hadn't considered litrpg much. Some of you may recognize that it was slightly inspired by Overlord. Also, the Tags for sexual content and traumatizing content are there as a precaution on all of my stories pretty much, even if my story does not contain any of that at the moment. I can't really know what the future will bring, but in the case of this story I do know a little bit, since I wrote 100k words before posting it here. And I just posted it on a whim because I figured some readers on Royalroad might enjoy this story.
