Insomnia by NickHill21
51 parts Complete
What would it be like to share dreams with friends? How useful would it be to get work done while dreaming? In Somnus, a virtual reality universe generated from users' dreams, all of that is possible. But Esme Trahan has discovered a way to exploit this fantasy paradise for personal and financial gain: from within Somnus, she has the ability to break into people's minds and absorb their memories. Thus far, she has managed to keep her unethical, voyeuristic, tendencies a secret. But when an individual known only as the Knightmare begins using those same abilities to torture and destroy his victims' minds, including that of her own brother, her desire for vengeance threatens to expose her to the world. Investigating the Knightmare's true identity, Esme is forced to confront his cult of rabid followers, a tenuous political system controlled by social media influencers, and the secret behind her unique abilities.
Guarded Hearts by blossomcotton13
7 parts Ongoing Mature
A life of isolation was not something you were prepared for the minute you dedicated your life to dauntless. Scoring 100% dauntless in your faction test was something rare and special that turned your life into something you never would've imagined as a little girl from Amity. You're strong, smart, stealthy and a brilliant soldier, dedicating your life to train as a mercenary, where only the people who are dauntless with every being deserves to be. But you aren't just a solider, you're human too, something people fail to remember. Your friendly and cheerful personality is a stark contrast to your work, something which tends to confuse people you come across, something which caught the attention of a particular dauntless leader that can't seem to get you out of his head.

80 parts Complete
In which an introverted healer learns to deal with the greatest horrors of his life - socializing, dungeons, and psychopathic NPCs. Season 1 of Eliona's War *** Seth Veregin doesn't know the first thing about video games. But when he's gifted a beta copy of Eliona's War - a Virtual Reality online game that's the very first of its kind - he reluctantly gives it a try. Thus, Severance the healer is born. All he wants is to quietly explore on his own without having to deal with other people. Unfortunately for him, there's a few problems with that plan. Not only did he choose a class that's in high demand, but some players just won't take no for an answer. And the game NPCs? They definitely have a mind and an agenda of their own.
YouTube Hunger Games by author144
22 parts Complete Mature
All our favorite YouTubers have just been invited to beta test new technology that allows a four dimensional interactive world. The secret is out when they get there that the game they get to play first is a simulation of the Hunger Games. Most are excited to try this, and everyone is even more excited for their interviews to speak about just how well they will do. Honestly, most are glad that it's not something scary like Five Nights at Freddy's, or Amnesia, because it couldn't be more terrifying than a horror game. Could it?
The Golden Experience Point [Part 1] by MRP-Miyuji
200 parts Ongoing Mature
Jobs, hobbies, lifestyles-the world has advanced to a point where nothing can be separated from VR anymore. And now, a VR game was released using the most cutting-edge technologies; its name was "Boot Hour, Shoot Curse." Our protagonist had no choice but to play solo during the closed beta test, but once the game officially launched, she made lots of friends (but not necessarily the player's friends), formed a huge clan (but not a clan of players), and matured as an individual. The title of this story was just completely random, at first. In the middle of writing the story, the title finally became relevant. While coming up with the story, the game's name was also random. There was no wordplay involved. But just remember: Curiosity killed the cat~ The star of this story does whatever she wants and treats all other players simply as sources of experience points.

Like the Dawn by LacheMooney
36 parts Ongoing
Tess begins her dream sailing peacefully along a pristine coastline; it's not long before a storm approaches, capsizing her. Normally the dream would end there, but this is a dream unlike any other. When she wakes up, she's still in her dream and discovers that here, her sign language has power. Back in reality, college-student Tess faces another storm; death, and the debris it leaves in its wake. Tess's Aunt Valentine, the woman who taught her ASL and practically raised her, is dying and treatment isn't working. On top of this, Tess is finishing her degree in English with hopes to make her mark on the world through her poetry. Oh yeah, and she's working in an art gallery for a family friend, Alice, preparing a new exhibit featuring the invisible beauty of trees. It's a hectic life to balance. And now, she keeps having the same dream in a living world. Every night she returns to find the world changed, whether its creatures of her subconscious she calls Tones or an oddly intuitive boy who claims to be her guide. Then there's the monster her Tones call Amiko who seems to want her dead. Tess is starting to think this could be a nightmare instead. As she dives further into the dream, she loses her grip on reality. She can do anything, conquer it all, but can she find a way to save her aunt?
