Synopsis

When given a chance to join one of the top guilds of the VRMMO Otherworld Winston jumps at the chance.

However, he soon finds out that when they hired him as a guild farmer they weren’t talking about killing goblins.

Forced into working fields for the next three months Winston decides to make the most of it.

Watch as he becomes the greatest farmer in Otherworld.

AN: I update once a week in the 3-5k word range.

This is a Spin-off of my Kill 10 Rats story. It takes place 3 years after the launch of the game, with a completly diffrent charater. This book focuses more on guilds, economy, and crafting than on adventure and epic conspiracies like the other book.

*****************************

Sorry about the formating on all the system messages. The first site I had this posted on doesn’t have as good of formating tools, so everything is just in brakets. I’ll try to pretty everything up as time goes on.

Tunnel Rat: Causing Trouble in Two Worlds

★ 4.78

The Walrus King

Volumes 1 to 3 of Tunnel Rat are Available on KU. Volume 4 will be coming out in Fall of 2025

https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0D98TW5F2?maas=&ref=

Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of steel and concrete. He spends his days repairing the machinery that keeps the habitat livable and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body move about through the small tunnels and air shafts that are his world. He's as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he keeps running. He likes to fix things, which is good because he sometimes breaks things.

But lately, he's been getting bored, and for a super-genius, that's a bad thing. Luckily, the criminals he escaped from are back. Stealing everything from them will keep him busy, especially when he steals a new MK7 immersion pod used to enter the world of Genesis. Milo has always lived in the tunnels, and now he's a Tunnel Rat in looks, not just name. He wants to go deep into the world and find the ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below.

He'll find new mysteries to solve, new friends, things to fix, terrifying creatures to aggravate, and things to break. Hopefully, he fixes more than he breaks, or this new world might be in trouble.

And thanks to the artist of that handsome rat for inspiration. Find more of her work here: https://www.deviantart.com/watch/memymine/deviations

Might as Well

★ 4.63

Sam went for a walk, with the goal of acquiring delicious baked goods. His journey landed him in the past of another world, with a set of memories that didn’t really belong to him. Making use of those memories, and his gaming knowledge, he joined the newest VRMMO, Magic Unbound, ready to enjoy his time in a game that was simply a pipedream in his original world.

Join us, as we read about Sam’s journey through the game and life as he transforms from a lone gamer into one surrounded by friends. Read as he deals with annoying villains, scheming edgelord gamers, and secretive assassins!

I will endeavor to stay true to the MMO genre while taking a few liberties to make it more interesting. However, this is closer to Slice of Life than anything. There will be drama, action, horror, humor, and everything in between, but I would call this entire thing a guilty pleasure reading (and writing).

I got bored with all those VRMMO novels that start out as VRMMO novels, then escalate into martial cage fights, alien invasions, dream dimensions, or whatever. I also don’t like how in several novels they take real-life skills into the game and the game is like: ‘Aight, you do you, bro!’.

This novel will keep the real world and the game world separate. Also, to me, it seems that many VRMMO writers have never played any MMO or other video games, or heard about things like patches, pacing, and vertical or horizontal gameplay.

The schedule is Tuesday/Friday!

Modern Age Online

★ 4.54

Zrail

It is the Future. The realm of online video game entertainment has grown, creating vast and wonderous worlds for people to explore and enjoy.

This is the story of Kaleb, a young gamer, and his adventures in the latest Super-Hero Virtual reality MMO: Modern Age Online. Join him as he takes on villains (both player and NPC), joins forces with other player heroes, and even deals with some of the bureaucracy of being a hero in a perfect virtual recreation of the world. No cheats, no guides, just one newbie Super-Hero against the forces of villainy in his new virtual home.

Notes: 1.) While not my first time writing, this is my first time throwing anything I've written at the tender mercies of the internet. All criticisms welcome. 2.) Just to inform people early: There is no evil corporation looking to control the world with VR, there is no Krueger-esque "if you die in the game, you die for real.", and this isn't a story of some OP harem-loving god of the system. Nothing wrong with those stories this just isn't one. This is a simple story about a guy playing a game and finally 3.) This story is extremely rough, i did very little editing, this is just me gauging interest really.

oh, and English is my 1st language, if for some reason you find that important.

Thank you to everyone.

The Quest Giver [An NPC LitRPG Adventure]

★ 4.54

A. Stargazer

A young man yearning for adventure must confront the harsh reality of a world that might not be the real one to begin with in this LitRPG fantasy adventure.

For Prince Hail Teoran, there’s never been a greater hero than his own father, a true living legend who came through the gates with his fellow Travelers years ago to rescue the continent of Lagrea from the forces of darkness. Unfortunately, when the young prince actually meets his dad for the first time, he turns out to be, well, a total jerkweed.

Naturally, Hail is crushed. That is, until he’s visited by a seemingly all-powerful administrator who explains that Hail, his mother, and everyone in their world are part of a game the Travelers are constantly playing. But that doesn’t mean Hail isn’t special. In fact, as a product of the union between his Traveler father and NPC mother, he’s an ever-evolving AI—or native player character—which means he has the ability make his own way, seeking adventure, facing danger, and occasionally screwing up in truly epic fashion.

This series is being published by Podium Audio. Book 1 is available on Amazon and Audible. Book2 is available for preorder on Amazon and Audible. and will be published February 13th, 2024.

Assassinate Wonderwind (OPMC, Romance)

★ 4.85

Matizu

Aiden lives in Wonderwind, the world’s biggest VRMMO. He dropped out of college, ditched real life, and invested everything into a career as a cold, calculated virtual assassin targeting the richest players in the top-500 leaderboard—every kill executed to perfection.

Until his headset glitches mid-mission.

One flicker, one lag spike, and suddenly rent’s due, and his landlord’s about to kick him to the curb. Aiden realizes his next job might be his last. He logs into a high level area, Ray Dragon Falls, severely underleveled, equipped with utter trash gear, and prepares one final assassination.

He just didn’t expect to fall for his target.

Spiteful Healer

Hi everyone!

The heavily edited version of this story is slowly making its way over to Kindle Unlimited and Audible. The first book is set to release on Oct 28th, with more to follow! As a result of the Kindle Unlimited Exclusivity deal, though, I'll be forced to 'STUB' the books on Royalroad and Patreon. I promise it's worth it, the edited versions are way better thanks to the great team of editors at Portal Books! Any content cut from the books will remain on RR as side stories when possible!

Audible US: Book One - Narrated by Christian J. Gilliland

Thank you, everyone, for reading my stories and supporting them, and I hope they continue to keep you entertained!

Some rise to the top in search of fame. Some want power.

Others do it out of spite.

Eli Winters was never interested in playing The Shattered World, thanks to his deadbeat father, Makaroth, the number one player. But when his best friend convinces him to try it out, a heat-of-the-moment bet presents a chance to finally get some retribution. Eli now has one goal: to become more powerful than his dad, win the bet, and force him to delete his character.

The problem? He’s six months behind, only level 1, and the top players are already over level 100. However, through hard work and lots of trial and error, Eli discovers a secret weapon, a unique skill that will boost his experience gains massively.

But there’s a catch. He’s not allowed to deal any damage whatsoever.

In a game where killing is the fastest way to level up, he’ll need to get creative. Picking a healer class is probably a good start...
