Vanti's POV
I woke up tied to a support beam of the house. Idiots, don't they know I'm to smart for them? I took out a knife from my shoe and cut the ropes. I yawned and walked up the stairs to the door. I tried opening it, but it was locked. "Looks like we're doing this the motherfucking hard way" I said as I looked for a giant hammer. I didn't find one but I did find an RPG. I laughed manically. "This'll do~" I said as I aimed for the door and pulled the trigger.
Tyler's POV
I was discussing plans with my best friend Craig, with delirious of course. "What are we gonna do with him?" Craig asked. "I say we beat the shit out of him until he coughs up where Evan is!" Delirious suggested. I nodded. "I like that plan, but this is Evan we're talking about. He looks exactly like him and he may be as smart as him" I said. They both nodded. "Tyler's right. We should probably check on h-" before mini could finish ya sentence a loud explosion shook the whole house. I immediately reacted and ran out of the living room straight to the basement door. There was smoke everywhere and I couldn't see anything. I coughed while waving off the smoke as a dark figure emerged holding something. "Bitch. You can't hold me down. I'll always find a way up." Vanti said while holding an RPG. Ugh! I told Evan it wasn't a good idea to store those in there! Or maybe I forgot about them either way it's bad. My first instinct was to tackle them down, but I had a better way. Maybe he has a big ego like Evan does. "Ah...you're pretty strong" I said. Vanti looked surprised for just a second before glaring at me. "Of course I am. What do you take me for? A weakling who can't stand on his own two feet?"

I smirked. "You're smart too. Smarter then our Evan" I said. Vanti looked confusingly at me. "Why do you say our like that?" I heard footsteps behind me and I slowly walked forward. "You're also super attractive~" I said while grabbing his hand. Vanti stepped back a little dropping the RPG without noticing. I got really up close to his face and whispered,"you may act tough, but you love to get dominated right?" I felt him shudder and I pushed him into the two people behind me. Brian and marcel caught him holding onto his arms. "YOU MOTHERFUCKER!!" He screamed as Brian and marcel dragged him away. Craig came up to me. "Wow Tyler! How's you do that?" I smirked and flexed. "Nobody can resist my charms" we both laughed as we followed Brian and marcel.
Vanti's POV
That motherfucker! When I get my hands on him I'm gonna year him to shreds! Tear him to pieces! Stab him in the guts twelve times!! Brain and marcel threw me in a room and closed the door. I screamed and started breaking things in the room. I broke the lamp, I broke a photo, I broke the windows that were sealed off, I knocked down the wardrobe. I WAS DESTROYING EVERYTHING!!
Brian's POV
"Damn. This guy is seriously mad" marcel nodded. "It's kinda hot" I said. Marcel rolled his eyes. "I'm gonna talk to Anthony. Maybe he can get Evan back" marcel said and walked away. I smiled heard this Vanti guy calm down. I opened the door slowly and see him laying down on the bed with his hands on his face. I came in and slowly closed the door. I locked it with a key I had just in case he tried to escape after he attacks me or something. "Stop standing there you idiot" he said as he snapped me outta my thoughts. I turned to look st him and he was sitting upright and with eyes glaring me down. Evan never had this much anger in him. He didn't have any anger in him at all. "Such anger for such a small thing" I said. He flipped me off and I licked my lips. This'll be fun.

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.
