《Building an army in another world》Chapter 17 – Guard commander
Advertisement
As we move further into the town the crowd surrounds us but moves out the way as we move towards them. Each of them looks as if they don’t want us to be here.
“Corporal once we have got medical treatment we will have to leave as soon as possible. It looks like we are not very welcome here anymore.”(E)
“I agree ma’am. It does not feel that we are welcome.”(V)
As we reach the centre of the town there are knights in front of us forming a shield wall with their commander in front of it. When we reach them our lorry stops. I dismount the vehicle following behind the corporal.
“Where is lord Wolfram?”(guard commander)
“You're not going to introduce yourself first? Never mind he’s in the back vehicle at the back.”(E)
“Bring him out immediately?”(Guard commander)
“Fine, corporal bring Wolfram here.”(E)
“Yes ma’am.”(V)
The corporal goes to get Wolfram from the ambulance.
“Now are you going to tell me who you are.”(E)
“I am guard commander sir Vulmar Helexidor.”(Vu)
“I will just call you Vulmar. What do you mean when you say Lord Wolfram?”(E)
“You do not know? Lord Wolfram is the supreme commander of the armed forces of the sand elves. That includes the army and the town guards.”(Vu)
“He is I didn’t expect that. Is that why he was in the desert?”(E)
“That is because Lord Wolfram does not like to talk about it. He is very humble about his position.”(Vu)
“ma’am.”(V)
turning around I see that the corporal is back with three other soldiers. Two are carrying the stretcher and the other is the one who stayed in the ambulance with him. They move between me and Vulmar and put Wolfram down on the ground. Upon seeing Wolfram's condition Vulmar runs over and kneels next to him.

“What happened to him, he’s one of the strongest fighters there is.”(Vu)
“We were fighting sand wolves and he went to find the leader. I don’t know what happened when he found and killed the sand wolf leader.”(E)
“If it was able to injure him this much it must be more than the usual sand wolf or it could be something stronger that is leading them.”(Vu)
Standing up Vulmar bows towards me.
“Even though you were the one who told him to find the sand wolf leader you did not know this would happen. Thank you for bringing him back and giving him the best medical treatment you could.”(Vu)
“Don’t worry about it he is a friend who has helped me multiple times of course I would help him when I can.”(E)
“I still want to thank you is there any way I can?”(Vu)
“At the moment all we need is medical care for our wounded and maybe supplies we plan to make out own base but we need materials.”(E)
“Medical treatment can easily be arranged. The materials might be harder as you and your men are not the most liked at the moment.”(Vu)
“That could be a problem. Shall we talk about this later and get the wounded treated first.”(E)
“Yes let's discuss this later.”(Vu)
Vulmar turns around and gives orders to his men who immediately split up to complete them. Half an hour later a group of medics arrive to tend to Wolfram and the wounded soldiers. No w we have to wait to find out what happened to Wolfram.

Continue Online
Follow Grant Legate’s trials and tribulations through: Memories, Made, Realities, Crash, Together. Memories: A man broken by despair and depression, Grant Legate finds himself in a once-in-a-lifetime situation after receiving an Ultimate Edition copy of Continue Online. All he wishes for is a distraction from the thoughts plaguing his waking hours. He dives in headfirst, unknowing of the AIs intentions. They offer him the chance to play as one of their own, a NPC deserving of a proper send off. What he discovers during the journey shakes Grant to his very core. Made: No longer playing as a Local from the world of Continue Online, Grant Legate’s adventure can begin. The Voices offer him a unique title along with a test and reward. To start—he'll have to survive underground horrors, old girlfriends, become a warrior. To win—he must become an imp familiar and kill another player, one with a dozen tricks up his sleeve. Realities: Worried for his sanity after poor in-game choices, Grant Legate’s sister, Liz, blocks access to Continue Online. With no way around the restriction, he ventures into a new world—a VRMMO game based in space—called Advance Online. There he must help his companion AI, Hal Pal, overcome an identity crisis, race to the center of the universe to bring back his true love, and figure out where he stands on the scariest implication of all; AIs are bringing the dead to life. Crash: Grant’s prior adventures tie together and he finds himself back in Continue Online, as Hermes—in jail. He's forced to experience life as a digital convict and earn redemption points to gain his freedom. Each in-game death pushes his goal of helping his friends out of reach. The AIs Grant’s grown to love, trust—and sometimes fear—are facing extinction, he holds the key to their survival. Together: The game is no longer about adventures in a new world or exploring fantasy lands. Grant’s digital wife faces deletion, along with everyone else he cares for. He, and those who know this is more than a game event, search for clues to salvation left behind by the game's creators. Even if he finds them all, the Voices have one last task for their messenger. A sacrifice.

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
