"Well, that was troublesome", Rishabh looked at the police station behind him, before leaving. He get to nearest store, purchased some equipment, while going outside, some players tried to follow him, but with increased in number of challengers, more dogs appeared.
Inside the forest,
Rishabh opened up the live stream.
"Good Morning, everyone. I am your host, Pinaka. Many of the players, wanted to explore the world outside, looking at the fantastic city where we all started, a perfect combination of magic and technology."
"But that aside, in the forest, you will be needed to be constantly alert. Although, beasts here are very keen to general strength of there enemy, there are many who are perfect predator, who know there assets the best", as he completed the sentence, he threw a pebble like vial towards the few stones lying in the ground.
*BOOM*BOOM*
After series of explosion, several cried could be heard. A rabbit like beasts appeared, instead of the stones, full of sharp teeth. Looking at them, Rishabh said, "they are the Shaw tooth, a beast good at disguising itself."
He explained everything about the beasts, while fighting against them, without looking at any viewers.

Tusil one of the player, who started playing Dreamland. He also faced the same trouble, as other players, which is to explore the world outside. Looking at the forum, which is recently created, he come across 'Pinaka's showdown' a channel which recently started livestreaming.
Looking at it, he said, "now anyone can make video, of him being outside…", he mocked and almost scrolled it down, when he saw another post, of Pinaka's defeating the dog.
He went back, and opened it. Soon, he saw a man, standing among the dust, and followed by the series of shrill cry of the beasts, followed by few jumping on him, while opening its mouth wide.
He was engrossed in it, when one of his friend appeared, "What are you…", he become struck, watching the action sequences, in front of him. With rise in VR games, action and superheroes movies almost depleted, because now people could enjoy it, while being immersed inside. They can, perform some actions, and play the role of hero, which they once dreamed off, and this led to the rise of new stars. Just like movie studios, guilds gained popularity.

Slowly viewership of Livestream, started to rise, as Rishabh explained every single details about the beasts he hunt down, and received some rewards too.

Rishabh continued to stream, each alternative days, earning enough to buy some VR helmet. Bringing it, he gave one to his mother, whose injuries are almost healed.
"Why did you brought this? One is already enough", she asked.
"Mom, have you heard about the Dreamland?"
"Isn't it the game, which is popular recently. Many customers in the game, usually talked about this, inside…", she said everything which she have read and heard.
"Well, I played that game, secretly. And earnt some money through streaming. Do you know, the skill inside is applicable to the real world, otherwise how could I who have never entered the kitchen would cook such a good dishes…", Rishabh started to persuade her to start playing the game. Even the support role is good enough for that.
Finally she gave in, and chose to try it out. After registering her, she entered the game. Following her sons instruction, she entered the Artisan Guild office, after looking around the city. She wanted to become a singer, and chose to give it a try, remembering the word, Rishabh have said, "Mom, you don't have to worry now. In the game, you could start your life once again, so do whatever you wanted to do. Leave the money problem to me."

A week passed by, during this time, Rishabh started to work on forum posting various things like details on monsters and strategies he know about. He also researched a lot to improve the streaming. Many players successfully manage to defeat the Guardian dogs, and get approval to go outside.
After requests from the audience he chose to go for question answer session, at weekend.
"Master Pinaka is online, I was waiting for really long time. You really made you No. 1 follower sad. wuwuwuuuuu…." as soon as Rishabh opened the live stream, he saw players comment one by one.

"No. 1 fan, when did you become one, I am his no. 1 fan."
"…..", looking at the comment Rishabh felt like someone tickling him. There banters become funny. Looking at his genuine smile, everyone become shocked.
"Well, that aside, I will answer some of the question, which you had asked earlier. So, lets begin", Rishabh said and took out the list of 10 question.
So here's the first question, from someone with IGN The Lion's Daddy, "Why did you manage to learn the skill faster than anyone…."
"Well, I have answered this question earlier. I know some martial art from before, not only that, I practiced the martial art skills thought here in reality too, and they were effective, not as much as they are in game, but some of the minute ailment of mines are already healed. So do try it, artisans are most benefitted from it."
Then, he moved to next question, which was, "Why are you so strong?" followed by a video of hunting the Stibits (creatures from last livestream) which is hunted by him, and other players who used similar strategy and the one applying that is a dwarf.
"Well, I am a bit of special case here. I have an advantage here, my race makes me ten times more powerful than normal human at same level, similarly condition for levelling up is also ten times more harsher than normal human. Due to this, I hunted a lot of beasts, and already have knowledge regarding how to deal with them. Slowly the player there will get powerful too", he said and moved to next question.
About an hour later, when the he almost reached the last part of the question list, Rishabh said, "Well, friends I think we have some company", and visual shifted around him, where various crocodiles have gathered around him.
Standing up, Rishabh used the sword, and jumped high, gathering mystic force in his leg. He blasted of the crocodile, he landed on, but it wasn't enough to destroy the skill, entire ground started to shake, creating ripples around him, throwing the beasts in air. After which he made turned around, while releasing mana from the sword, full of mana, burning everything around him.
As the fight ended, Rishabh turned himself to the camera, wiping the blood from his sword, he said, "I thought about your requests, and would take one player along with me, for a week and would perform two livestream session on Monday and Saturday. The player within the city, be ready for the new adventures."
"Fu*K, God Pinaka is just OP"
"I got goosebumps, from every single move of his."
"How much do I need to train, to fight just like him"
"Do we have to have powers like him…" and many more comments appeared.
Inside the dark room, various people in suit are looking the stream in big screen. As it ended, one of them said, "do you think we would able to recruit him?"
"I don't know about that, but this session, is it just a coincidence?" one of the man asked. To which there leader replied, "I don't know whether he knows about us, watching him or not, but what I do know is that, we need to send someone to talk with as soon as possible, if possible who is of high rank, and good in chat with him."

8 132Known Danger System 42
The world has changed. Who will survive? Jax had hardly a care in the world, life was good. Then the System hit and it hit hard and now it seems like there is only one way to survive. Kill or be killed. That is what life is like when everyone around you views you as a source of potential experience. - This will be a work in progress, it is also my first try. I hope to create something which everyone can enjoy. I have a lot of ideas and appreciate reviews and insights. If you have advice then please share. If you see mistakes then please inform me and I will correct them. I have gained inspiration from a great deal that I have read on RR and elsewhere. Thank you.
8 242The Gambit
The kingdoms have rarely experienced peace, with kings and rulers warring against each other on any percieved slight. With explorers riding the waves to find new lands and merchants eager to set up trade routes while profiting as much as possible. Would the status quo still hold up? The veil is already weakining as more magic and horrors seep through the gap. How would the world deal with the sudden increase in the limited resource of magic? With the times changing, barren lands become trade hubs and the power shifts. The system holding it all together, is in a fragile balance, would a single death break the balance and cause the most devastating war the people have experienced. The direction of the story : The story will not contain any main protagonist, rather multiple protagonists and antagonists with the protagonists having bad some character traits and the antagonists some good ones. I plan to make a story of flawed humans, so if you are looking for OP MCs you would not enjoy it. But I still hope you give it a try. This is my first time writing and I am doing it to get better, so any suggestion or criticism is welcome. I am a university student, so do not expect a robust upload schedule, I'll try to put out 2 chapters a week, but there might be some delays. I apologize for it in advance. P.s. English is not my native language, so there might be some errors, though I tried to mitigate them as much as possible.
8 101The Saga of Geir Røshjert
"His name will never be sung, son. Skalds and bards like me will never tell his stories to the mass. But only us and us alone will keep telling his story, his actions, his saga. For he is the man who started all of this." This is a story no man in Lumenter will ever hear, no man except for an Arnesen, for his stories are dull and generic to the ears of the masses, except for us, because he is the very reason why our people traveled this far east, why kingdoms in Erisgi fell and rose, why I... even existed in the first place. He is Geir, son of Arne, called 'the Stranger' by the people. But what he truly is, is a fiery red heart that beats inside every Eyklandian, Arnesen, and me. Røshjert (My Submission for Royal Road's Writing Competition in June 2022)
