While the revolutionary discovery of Advanced Dive Virtual Reality (ADVR) lead to the birth and trend of VRMMOs, 18 years old Hayate Palmer only cares about his future for his younger brother rather than living out his fantasies in a virtual world. However, when Kazuki convinced him of playing Isekai Online, he decided to give this trend a try for his brother's sake. Yet what they don't know is that they are stepping not into a life-or-death or some kind of world-changing prophecy, but a special adventure that discovers the life of the game's AI and their brotherly love.

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 :)

[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.

The Real World has become monotonous. Everyday it's the same thing, work, eat and sleep. New adventures and fantasy has become a thing of the past. The imaginations of the people have dulled and main streamed. Boredom has taken over the youth as game after game became easier to play and usually have the same parameters, such as beat the boss, or save the princess and complete the story line, but, not anymore. Starlight International had a vision of revitalizing the fantasy of the entire planet and threw all their resources in creating the most diverse game ever to hit the markets. 10 Years after their announcement to challenge and change the gaming industry, Starlight International rolled out Divine World Online, a virtual reality game which changed the face of not only the game market, but also every other departments of the world. Boasting a full mind saturation system the game enables the player to truly experience the game as if he/she was present inside a new world. In just a few weeks the number of active players reached the 8 digit number. In a few months it became an absolute necessity to play the game. Due to the time difference in game of 4 days to 1 day in the real world, schools now held classes in game for longer hours using private servers; Armies, Navies and Air Forces have requested private customized servers where they can practice combat tactics in different environments, Companies now had meetings and practice trading techniques in game and testing of new methods to be used in the real world has become a trend. 1 Year after the game’s release, everyone was and is playing the game now. Everyone, but a small orphaned boy of 16 who is busy lifting boxes for a convenience store in order to get some money to buy food and survive the harsh realities of the world around him.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the Republic of Arcrade and to the glory and the growth of this everlasting Utopia." -Arcrade's Pledge of Allegiance Arcrade was built after a virus outbreak that swept across the Earth. This nightmarish epidemic was later called the 'Annihilation.' Scientists tried to create a cure for this virus, but nothing worked. As a result, 70% of the humans on Earth were killed off, leaving the civilizations to crumble. But years later, a country rose from the ashes of the Annihilation epidemic. Groups of people from all over the world started to build a new country where a country called China once stood. And they named this country 'Arcrade.' For a long time, technology started to advance, and the populations grew and prospered until the ruling class and the major corporations became blinded by profit. The government started to corrupt, and the major corporations started to spread their greedy hands across Arcrade. This led to the decline of Arcrade. A class system was created, smaller companies started to die off, normal or poor citizens became poorer while the rich became richer, and criminal organizations started to grow powerful. Then, a person emerges. To yakuza syndicates, he's known as the Demon. To mafia organizations, he's known as the Dreadful. To the gangs and thugs in alleyways, he's known as the Deadly. His name is Damien Hunt. After his parents were killed and his little sister taken away by the gangs of Arcrade, he vowed to himself to bring his sister back and to slaughter every criminal in the country until he finds her. Soon, a person emerges from the shadows to make a deal with him . . . (Warning: Gore) {A/N: This book is connected to the LitRPG (Game Fantasy) universe that I'm creating, but you can think this as a standalone Cyberpunk 'series' if you want because the connection will be vague.}
