《Living in my Own World!》Prologue
Advertisement
If you had told me a day ago or even an hour ago that I would be stabbed and thrown into my world, I would've probably called you crazy.
And yet, here we are, in some very grassy plains near a town that had some walls on its sides.
For this to make sense, I'd have to go back to the beginning, when I was on my way home from the office.
My game, Eternity Online, was very successful. Because of this, I had to get an office with employees and such to help me keep it alive and maintained correctly. It wasn't that I couldn't do it myself, but I decided that limited stress is the kind of stress I enjoy. You can't do everything yourself, or so I was told.
So here we are, 15 minutes away from the office walking down a very dark alleyway. I wasn't afraid because I've done this route a lot of times, and therefore got less and less scared of it.
In hindsight, I should've probably gotten a car with all the money that was coming in, but what could you do.
As I was listening to music on my phone and walking down this alleyway, I spotted a man not too far away from me, just far enough that touching was impossible.
The man just looked up at me and stated, "You better drop all the valuables you have on you or things are gonna get dirty."
I stepped back on reflex and began sweating slightly. This had never happened to me before, and I was also alarmed at the thought of dying. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"I only have a couple of dollars and my phone on me. Here, take it." I said, tossing my phone on the ground.
"I know who you are. Don't you dare try to lie to me, Jacob Ward. I know you're the CEO of a massive corporation, you should have more than just a couple dollars on you," the robber said.

"I don't have any more on m-" Before he was even finished speaking, the robber ran up to him and stabbed him in his chest, and, not having time to react, Jacob slumped to the ground immediately.
I didn't even finish my game, I thought while sighing.
I closed my eyes in defeat, taking one last look at the sky before taking my last breath.
Yet, a few seconds later, he felt the sun on his body, and he was confused once more.
When he opened his eyes, he immediately saw a blazing sun beaming its light down onto him, a beautiful grassy plain all around him, and a small lake behind him.
He was confused, yet happy. He was wondering if this is what death is like, but then he realized he was a 15-year-old version of himself, which didn't make much sense, and everything felt so real. Also, the little display in his vision made him think this was similar to his game due to how closely related they looked.
He noticed a bar with HP and MP next to them, red and blue respectively, under his name. He realized that these were very similar to what his game looked like, if not the same.
Status, I thought. I did this to see if this was my world since there would be a specific thing I would be looking for. When the screen didn't come, I was confused. Then, a prompt came up.
NOTICE:
You currently do not have access to this feature.
Requirements:
- Skill [Status]
I stared at the prompt blankly. I never made the status screen a skill, but maybe it was a good idea. I decided to try the backdoor that I implemented because of distrust in the office. I had given many people administrator privileges in the game, so I had to make sure that I could revert it whenever.
Admin Panel, I thought. In my world, most of the actions which are not related to magic are done through the mind.

NOTICE:
You must enter the admin password.
Username Jacob, password JacobIsUrBoss13!!#$.
NOTICE:
Welcome, Jacob.
Command line has been prepared for use, user rank is Super Administrator.
I chuckled at my password, knowing that everyone at the office would groan at it if they saw it. I had made the command line instead of a panel because it was easier for me to use, and I found it a lot more fun than just a panel with buttons. Proceeding to open the command line, I began typing commands.
> debug.testmode 100 Entity.ELDER_DRAGON 10
> notificationmode commandline
Debug has been enabled, you are now level 100 with the statistics of an Elder Dragon, with a multiplier of 10.
Notifications have been limited to command line and will show up as messages only.
I did the first command just to test that I could do it, and sure enough, I did. The latter was just to make sure it wasn't going to hinder me on battles or anything like that. I didn't really want to be too over the top, so I decided to change myself to an above average level, but still good.
> debug.setrank 45
> debug.statmultiplier 5
> debug.give ITEM_MONEYBAG{amount = 1000000}
> debug.affinity = ALL
These commands would set my rank to 45, make my statistics like intelligence and luck 5 times higher than a normal person's, give me E$1,000,000, equivalent to almost 1 billion USD and finally give me every magical affinity. Intelligence and Wisdom are the main things needed to be a Mage. I also decided to get every skill, too.
> skills.grant Jacob * 10
At this point, I decided that no one could kill me and that would be no fun. So, to make things more interesting, I decided to wipe my memory and only keep a select few that could help me in fights, and also, to make the skills come gradually by leveling and such. To do this, I had to set a name for every memory and keep it. I also decided to make it so that I am immortal and can grant immortality too, and that would be a kept memory. To do this, I had to change bodies.
Looking at the sky, I knew that this would be a fun adventure, especially since I can be evolved into a God at some point to help some people.
With my final goodbye given to the world, I kept the memory of immortality skills, the world map, the AI and how to use it and finally about most if not all spells if I had at least a tiny bit of knowledge on them.
> user.switchbodies KEEPMEMORIES=IMMORTALITY,MAP,AXIOM,SPELLS RACE=EVOLVED_HUMAN CLASS=UNIVERSAL BODYQUALITY=GODLY STATS=GOOD MULTIPLIER=3 AGE=2Y ACCESS=1
With my preferred body set, all I had to do now was enter the command and I would be forgetting mostly everything, and it would only come back when I truly needed it. My Evolved Human race allowed my new body to handle the power it would be getting and would have a lot of mana. My body would have 3x the normal speed of leveling and statistic increases. In general, it would be easier to live, and easier to protect the family that I will have, The access to the admin panel, if I ever figure it out again, is pretty limited, but there is a way to get back to Super Administrator if I need to remember it. I've also given the AI instructions that will bring that certain memory back if I am ever in critical condition without a chance to live.
Hopefully, I won't be needing it. I want a challenge, but I don't want death.
With that, I entered the command and everything went black.

Getting Hard (Journey of a Tank)
Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be immortal—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days. Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer. Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the journey of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone...getting hard. Schedule: Mon-Wed-Fri-Sat, 10am Central/ 3pm GMT. ~1.8k-2.3k words per chapter. Also published on Scribblehub. My other ongoing story: REND | Royal Road Expect a focus on building a true tank in MMORPGs. Heavy game elements and numbers are present. But actual math will take a backseat to strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable. The main character is atypical in LitRPGs or web novels as a whole. He might take some getting used to. Character arcs will develop over a long period. What you see now will be different as the main character changes. The start of Getting Hard is slow-paced (more so than others of the genre) and includes world-building and character development before focusing on the LitRPG.
