Long Island was not the first virtual reality game or to say a VRMMORPG. Not the one which changed the world and became a legend. No, it was made when there were lots (quite a few) of virtual reality games already on the market. Each game had its own unique AI feature, its own unique adventure, promising everyone a chance to become King, if not a God. In such a time Long Island was made. Just a little different, just a little unique. Swamy was starting his own adventure, in life and in game. Note - Thanks @DameCarnelian for the cover. Just so people don't get confused, that ship is not Raka's ship :)

Year 2228, Earth was finally abandoned by humanity. Its surface can no longer contain life. It wasn't war that destroyed our mother planet. But peace. Overpopulation has rendered us with too much material needs that we've gone too far. The Exodus began, with thousands of fleet scattered in the cosmos. Along with the discovery of a powerful impulse that can penetrate space itself, called Blink. Blink was used to carry messages no matter the distance into each of the human fleets in the blink of an eye. Scientist also studied it to learn how to bend space. With billions of people in their hibernation pods. The travel to their destination will take thousands of years. A company thought of creating a virtual reality where people can spend their time while in suspended animation.

Adam is a neet, a bum, a good for nothing lowlife living in his parents house at the age of 30. No job, no friends and no girlfriend. He spends all day in front of his computer playing video games. One day due to some freak storm, a lightning strike hits his house and electrecuted him while playing an mmorpg game. When he regains his senses, he wakes up in a Post apocalyptic world. The thing is he also realize that he somehow got a game like system power. He can now view his stats. He can store items in his storage window. He gains abilities and skills and he can also level them up. But his ultimate power is the ability to save and load his progress.

Luck has always been something of a strong suit for Benjamin Cooper. Little things, mostly; finding a lost item just in time for its rare, intended use, just barely skirting around a summer monsoon, dodging a musket ball by a hair's breadth, or having the exact amount of forgotten coinage in his pockets to pay a tax collector: standard, in Ben's experience. Today, though, things are going badly. Very, badly. - Reginald Birchwood is the son of a man who is the Cardinal of a religious order of healers, in public, and a very accomplished order of supernatural predators, in the dark. He does not believe in luck, and does not feel he needs it, not in *any* conceivable situation. Until he meets Ben Cooper, an ordinary 'Salt', and *extra*ordinary *idiot*, bumbling about blindly in the dark with a Demon on his shoulder and no fear of what Reginald knows for certain lurks in the shadows, and yet he is *somehow* still alive, and *happy* about it!

A demon named Astaroth and a boy named Kushiro will have an adventure that no one knows where they're adventure will go. Is it to the happy ending Or it will become the worst tragedy of all?...

A young college student gets killed and accidentally saves the world. As thanks, a group of gods decide to give him a second life. They send him to Elrich, a world with monsters, demons, and where adventures await. However, his goddess liaison is a bit of an airhead and messed up his reincarnation. What sort of place awaits him in this world full of danger and uncertainty? This world is harsh, not at all the fantasy fluff and harems he'd imagined. Will he be able to keep his sanity with death around every corner? This story has LGBTQ friendly themes. It touches on drug use, child molestation, rape, children committing murder, death sentencing as a form of punishment, and questioning one's sexual identity. There are some harsh themes, since this is meant to be a harsh world. Some themes touch upon the MC directly, the others happen to secondary characters. I try not to go into too graphic of detail and I believe that this story is 16+ friendly. I promise that these themes tie together in the end to make a cohesive whole and are used to provide back story for later developments.

It was the year 2065 and a game only exclusive to a device called CraniaSole was made. MagMa Online or Magic Mania Online quickly gained popularity and had over 50 million players after its 2nd month of release. The game featured a realistic "Battle System" and a unique "Skill Creation" system in which players can go and create their own skill sets within the limits of their level and stats. It also featured a "Skill Over Level" system where players with enough skills can take down higher level mobs or players without disregarding their Stats, making the game even more interesting and attractive to the gamers. As our protagonist, Ren Miller and his friends tried to play the game, some sort of an unknown and unexplainable phenomenon transported them and the other 50 million players into Pristonia, the world of MagMa Online. Now living in the game world, they have to adapt, learn, and explore whatever lies into their new world along with the new rules, laws, and logic that differed way far from Earth. Quests, adventures, raids, battles, explorations, and many more await them as they tried to live in the unfamiliar world. Will you be able to follow their journey up until the end? ---------------------------------------------------- • This Is My First Original Story Published And My Main Language Is Not English So Grammatical Error/s Are To Be Expected • • I'll Try To Upload Every Week So Stay Tuned! • • I'd Take Suggestions For The Story, Just Comment And I'll See What I Can Do • • This Is An Original Work, Copying Or Posting This Anywhere Without My Consent Or Permission Is Prohibited • • Chapters Take About 2K Or More Words But May Change And Vary Along The Continuation • ---------------------------------------------------- Most Impressive Rankings: #55 Futuristic (Somewhere In Jan 2019, Short Lived) #1 Onlinegame (01/16/19) #1 Gameworld (01/02/19, 02/06/19)

A gateway to a long-awaited, always-online virtual island (an 'Autonomous World' or 'Permaworld') has opened for those who've found a key. This includes Dan Harvester, a guy who lives in a run-down apartment with his cat and runs a gaming channel. He's almost done playing and testing VR games, but this one could be his final chance to - truly - level up. What can it promise to him, and all its very first 'pioneers'? 'Fountellion'...is said to be 'natural' game-world, a N.E.P. world (Naturally-Evolving PermaWorld) full of artificial life that mimics the laws of our own natural world, with its shaping force of evolution. The game promises to be more than an open-world survival experience, for there are seven 'Insights' scattered and every player can find their own path to them. How much will Dan be changed, by his own search? A game-within-a-game or a simulated homage to the natural world? A complete vision of a 'metaverse' design which overgrows or salvages addicted players? There is only one way to find out: Tune in and experience Dan's 'avalogs'. For only by completing them and the fragments from the development, may you too discover the vision and legacy of 'Fountellion'... Notes: Please be aware this is speculative sci-fi, and includes outlines for an actual game-world within the story. The project is also decentralised and open source.

[Under Heavy Editing] "The whole world is against me, but I refuse to run away anymore. I will face them head on." Marty Rider is an unpopular high school sophomore. Since he was a kid, he only had the virtual world, which he could escape via VR equipment, as a company. It caused him to get obsessed with virtual reality, and people started discriminating against him due to his obsession until he was at the bottom of the social ladder. Furthermore, when a revolutionary, hyper-realistic, hack & slash style VRMMORPG titled Realm of Order Online gets released, he descends farther down the social ladder. When he first entered the game, his character got spawned in the game world without anything; giving him a massive disadvantage. Soon, he fell behind everyone else in high school, standing out like a sore thumb in the group more than before. Due to that, he got discriminated even more as he grew more and more obsessed with the game every passing day to catch up with the others. But he always messed up, resulting in him getting farther and farther behind than others. One day, while being chased by one of the bullies in the game, he accidentally encounters a boss who is way out of his level, and he is forced to fight the boss with every fiber of his will and being to survive. In the end, he wins, and-with a new companion that he looks up to on his side-starts to advance toward glory that he righteously deserves and struggles against great obstacles that yearn to kill him or to drag him down from his rise. But after a massive update that made the game more immersive, he gets separated more and more from reality as he fall deeper and deeper into the world of Realm of Order Online. The world has turned against him, and now he turns his back on the world. This is the story of a victim of reality who slowly gets addicted to the virtual world of a videogame.
