《Cruxborne Legends》1: Alpha Testing (1)

Who is this Markus Reeves?
Well, he was a competitive ESports gamer during his childhood and a little bit of his early teenage years. He played games like League of Legends, World of Warcraft, RuneScape, and many other titles on a professional level in a team alongside other teams during competitions, but things didn't last for long.
The reason why? It all happened because of the classic trope of slipping grades in school due to his excessive amount of time learning new mechanics in each game's update. His parents were understandably furious after receiving his latest report card from his school and pulled him out of the competitive leagues, but it was not without cost. This action doomed their financial abilities hard.
You see, with each competition won by him, his entire family was able to afford living in a modest home and spend money lavishly every year on his tuition fees. They were not too terribly rich since each competition's prize pool varied, but this one before he got pulled out had a five MILLION dollar payout. If they were just a tiny bit more greedy and didn't put too much stock into his failing grades a week before the competition was due to begin, they wouldn't have lost out on their entire livelihoods.
That all happened five years ago, but it wasn't the worst thing that happened to him. No, that 'honor' goes to the day he lost both his mother and father.
Unlike a certain famous orphaned boy with a lightning scar, Markus didn't lose his parents to some arsehole with a stick. He wished that was what he had happen instead of what really happened to them. No, how he lost them was a freak car accident involving a semi-truck. Even he didn't know why he was the sole survivor of the incident-albeit just barely surviving by the skin of his teeth-but that made him far too depressed to do anything else.

That event happened just a little over a year ago now on his 17th birthday. Today-however-was still his 18th birthday when Markus decided to check his emails.
As for why? Well, he had applied to various places online for job interviews, but with his credentials at the moment being somewhat inexperienced, he saw multiple rejections. Some didn't bother to respond to his email!
Before he could leave his inbox and go browse YouTube for videos from his favorite creators, Markus received a rather unusual email. It was from the company "Reality Interactive" and it was about an offer to test their flagship game called "Cruxborne Legends" for free.
He never heard of this company or game before, so he clicked open the email with his interest piquing.

Release Schedule: 5 chapters/week, from Monday to Friday (01:15 PM, GMT-3) Throughout the years, countless powerful beings rose and fell. As powerful as they were, their lifespan had an end. The universe is fair. Beings whose power was enough to shatter planets in countless pieces wailed in the cosmos, feeling that while the universe being fair was a blessing, it was also a curse! They trained for thousands, even tens of thousands of years to reach their current strength, but just like mortals, their lifespan also had an end! Countless galaxies away, within Earth, a young man shook his head before looking at the moon worriedly, ''What's the use knowing this... I must deal with my problems, right? Sometimes, knowing everything isn't that useful...'' He, who can see everything, do everything and be everything, was troubled. The universe is fair. That's the only thing most living beings agreed, not expecting unfairness to appear. Diverting his gaze from the moon, the young man looked towards his farm with calm eyes, ''Well, well. I wonder what surprises you'll bring me, my creations...'' This is a story about a lazy creator trying to deal with his problems while getting to know himself better.

8 172Its Where My Demons Hide
I enter my brother's room to find it wrecked and his favorite bunny into shreads. A gasp leaves my lips when I look at the mirror to find a note all in red. ' I have shane. If you want him to be safe and not into pieces surrender yourself to me. -your loving father and master. ' "Grey! he has Shane! we have to do something! " I say " I know! let me think what to do!" he growled back. " Hey, I have a plan. Do you trust me? " he asked. I was taken aback by his question. Sure he always saved me but.. did I really trust him? Wasn't he just my imagination? " Do you trust me Blaze?" he asked again, softening his tone. No he wasn't my imagination. He is here to protect me, he was always there. " I do" I say softly. " OK then I have a plan. Don't worry we will get him back" he says. I could almost feel the mischievous plans he was devicing. _________________________________________

A school getting summoned. A young man being left out and his cheat ability.The tale of a mere human rising from the bottom, to the throne of the strongest demon country of this fantasy world. What hardships will he encounter along the way?Tagged [18+] for Strong Language, Sex, Violence.There's also brother-sister incest. If you dislike that sort of thing, please refrain from reading this.More Information: I didn't put Comedy in the tag because I don't know if my humor would amuse readers. Though I said "hardship" it won't hurt your heart as much as Tate no Yuusha manga. Also, I'm not too used to western novels, resulting in me only being familiar to Japanese WN/LN. That's why please don't diss me for using 'honorifics' and Japanese things in my story.
