Trading Card Games aren't quite the same in the virtual world.

Cas decided she needed to take some time for herself. No following her best friend, Jupiter, on whatever hair brained idea he had. No jumping into danger in a fantasy virtual world. She wants to get back to basics. And what's more basic than a trading card game?

But when you move a card game into virtual space there are some pretty big changes. Add in the natural greed of humanity and there might really be something to this Virtual Reality Trading Card Game.

Fountellion: Echoes of Bleakmuse by Ademc77
10 parts Complete
In a cyberpunk future where the Earth is on the brink of collapse, the virtual world of 'Fountellion' offers humanity a final chance to confront a rogue AI and reshuffle its own imbalanced priorities. Can a game really achieve this? But this is no ordinary game. Fountellion is artificially alive, its ecosystem evolving, its seasons shifting, and its balance hanging by a thread. Raze, a disaffected player from the neon-drenched streets of London, stumbles upon a mysterious key that grants them access to this strange, untamed realm. Guided by the enigmatic Greenwise, Raze must re-navigate the island's regions, each tied to a forgotten aspect of the human spirit. Along the way, he will unlock Insights - powerful truths about nature, survival, and his own soul. But Fountellion is not without its dangers. The Bleak Lord Muse, a shadowy NPC figure born from humanity's ambition for control and power, seeks to corrupt the island and bend it to its will, which extends beyond the game itself. His Stokers - twisted, stolen avatars - hunt those who stray too far from the path, draining their Energy and turning them into soulless servants of Bleakmuse's unknown designs. As Raze progresses, he must choose: Will he succumb to the lure of control, or will he embrace the wisdom of the Insights and restore balance to Fountellion? The journey will test his survival skills, his connection to the land, and his very humanity. In this immersive, postmodern world where nature and technology collide, 'Fountellion: Echoes of Bleakmuse' is a gripping tale of discovery, danger, and the search for meaning in a world on the edge of destruction.' ----- Fans of cyberpunk, virtual reality, and environmental storytelling will be drawn into Fountellion, and beyond...

What would you do if you found yourself trapped in a video game as an NPC with seemingly no hope of returning to the real world? Having grown up without parents, Daisuke finds himself in a perpetual cycle of poverty as he tries to survive in the bottom rung of society. When the world's first VRMMORPG, Sehreneti Online, is released to the public, he decides to take a gamble by borrowing a buttload of money from some shady people to propel his hack-selling side hustle into the big leagues. After nearly getting his leg twisted into a pretzel for failing to pay off his loan on time, Daisuke decides to put his plan, Operation Jupiter, into action. Although a cool-sounding name, he didn't seem to be in Lady Luck's good graces that day. After uploading the code into his capsule and commencing the startup, everything goes haywire, booting his consciousness into the virtual world. When Daisuke comes to, he finds himself as a newborn fresh out the meat oven-and, of course, his circumstances are far from ideal. Apparently, he is still poor, but instead of being an orphan, he is now the son of a prostitute in the slums, with seemingly no connection to the game system or the real world. How will Daisuke overcome this trial, and will he be able to return to the real world? If you enjoy GameLit and LitRPG light novels such as Sword Art Online, Solo Leveling, The Rising of the Shield Hero, and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, then you'll definitely enjoy this epic tale!

Zombie Apocalypse meets the Gamer. to make it a bit different, I decided to create a new kind of zombie with its own rules. hopefully, the zombie will become more dangerous and open up new possibilities. So basically, this is a story of an underdog guy surviving the zombie apocalypse... and the unrequited love of the woman he loves. I am not a native speaker of the English language, it's actually my second. Grammar might be a problem. I accept every comment and review provided that they are constructive. I've been told that my genre is actually called LitRPG. Without further ado, ENJOY!
