Game is life-but what if your life turns into a game?

Raiden believes he's a real person, but everyone sees him as an NPC. As such, he finds himself trapped in the popular Hyper-Virtual Reality game named "Defiant Sins Online," an expansive, artificial world filled with grand quests, harsh dungeons, unjust laws, and deplorable players. 

Haunted with an existential glitch, Raiden's only lead are fuzzy memories that suggest he's the world renowned esports player named Tristan Park. But there's only so much he could find out. The frustration drives him to form his own clan and strike a deal with several player companions-in exchange for investigating his existential crisis, he'll help them progress throughout the game.

However, it would be a brutally hard journey, both virtual and reality alike. With secretive corporates abound and unforgiving dungeons in the way, it will take Raiden's clan everything to gain the truth and glory they seek.

Even punished with an unfair penalty and chained to Lvl 1, Raiden's odds are ever stacked against him. How could he win if he couldn't level at all? He would have to rely on nothing but his innate intellect and prodigious reflexes to lead his clan to victory.

Not only that, but underneath his soul lies a dark, anomalous force, threatening to invade his consciousness. Raiden must find his identity soon, or risk losing it entirely.

Despite all the confusion, one thing's for sure-Raiden would do whatever it takes to find the truth, even it means achieving the impossible.



Good for fans of Final Fantasy, DND, SAO, King's Avatar, Monster Hunter, Rising of the Shield Hero, 7 Deadly Sins, and Westworld.

NOTE: This is the rewrite/reboot version of my original Project Anima story. The other one is outdated, so please read this instead.

Lines Between Fate by EmSaghari
22 parts Ongoing
Raiden, a young writer and a hopeless romantic, spends his days crafting stories as an escape from the cruel reality he faces. Bullied for being gay and disillusioned by love, he pours his heart into a novel about his ideal man-Sebastian, the perfect lover who exists only in the world he writes. In this fictional realm, Raiden loves him unconditionally, creating a utopia where Basti finally feels safe and cherished. But as reality continues to break him, Raiden's faith in love shatters. Overcome with despair, he decides to give his story a tragic ending-one where love is an illusion, and even Sebastian, the perfect man, cannot save him. In his final act, he writes about his own demise, mirroring it in real life by standing on the edge of a bridge, ready to end it all. Just as he prepares to jump, strong arms pull him back. Raiden turns, stunned, to see Sebastian-the very man he created-standing before him, real and alive. Confused and terrified, Raiden realizes his story has come to life, but the tragic ending he wrote still looms over them. As Raiden and Basti navigate this surreal reality, Raiden is faced with a terrifying question: Can he rewrite their fate, or is their love doomed to end in tragedy as he once believed? As he rediscovers hope and the true meaning of love, Raiden must make a choice-to embrace the love he once thought impossible or let his own story destroy them both. Can he change what's already been written, or is fate irreversible?

| 𝟏𝟐𝐱 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 | An ex-gamer enters a virtual reality ruled by a rebel AI in order to rescue her younger sister and shut down the death game. * * * Eight years ago, Mori Fukutomi held the rank of number two player in the tactical hero shooter game SniperX. But fate and her parents had other plans and Mori now works as an accountant with her dreams of being a pro gamer long since buried. Games like SniperX are old relics in the face of virtual reality tech and their latest gem, Facing Fear--a simulation designed to analyze the psyche of its players and adapt itself accordingly, creating a safe terrain for players to take risks and discover themselves. Until FEAR, the AI governing the virtual world of Valor, decides the thing humanity fears most is death. Despite the rising death toll and Facing Fear closing its doors, when Mori discovers her sister Shiori is trapped in the game, she does the unthinkable. She goes in after her. But she'll soon discover they're not the only ones desperate to make it out alive and there are worse things in Valor than the monsters. There's more to FEAR than fear itself. ✧ 𝐅𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐲 ✧ 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 ✧ 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 ✧ ─────────────────────────────────── Completed: 4-23-2023 Word Count: 35,000 - 40,000

𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐊 𝐎𝐍𝐄 - 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 only has 7 chapters available because this book is now available FOR FREE on kindle unlimited!! Books 2 & 3 will be in full! ----- Blurb for book 1: 𝐃𝐘𝐋𝐀𝐍 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐒 I messed up - I messed up in typical Dylan fashion because I could never stand up to my Dad, I just couldn't be the Alpha that I was meant to be, that my older brother would have been proud of. Instead I was the Alpha that locked his mate away for a crime that I didn't even know if he actually committed, I thought about rejecting him because he was a man and I'm not gay and I refused to give into the bond and love him back. I felt insecure around Raiden because he's a feline. I was insecure because he's stronger, faster, more dominant and I hated how much my body gave into him - how much my body wanted to submit to him because I'm an Alpha and Alphas don't submit. So I caved and I tainted our bond, I hurt him beyond repair and when I just couldn't deny the bond anymore, I found out just how hard it would actually be to gain his trust back - to get him to want me again. Our bond ended with my mistake but our story began with my redemption.

Overlord - A More Experienced Player by SleepyWalkerYN
29 parts Ongoing Mature
The story of a player who decides to enter the world of game reviewers. Playing the new VR-MMORPG that just started, YGGDRASIL, he will start an adventure through the servers, getting allies, participating in dungeons and helping other players. However, his past is completely obscure and insane to imagine, with himself having slight flashes and not being able to remember with complete clarity. While his future is far beyond making him a simple player, a simple human. Will he get great results so his consequences don't destroy his career in YGGDRASIL? Or even in a New World? ====================== DISCLAIMER: "Overlord" isnt my creation. Please, go read the original novel or watch the anime if you want to see the original story of the series. This is just a Fanfiction. I don't own Overlord's Characters. But there are some OCs, since there arent so many information about the moments where Ainz was still known as Momonga in YGGDRASIL. Along side with other characters that are just EasterEggs from different series, that arent in the original Overlord. The only character that I can confirm that is 100% mine is the OC MC. ======================= {A/N: This fanfic was a thing that everytime I tried to do but didnt have courage, since Overlord as a whole have a LOT of informations. But after reading so many other Overlord fanfics like "Overlord: Reborn as an NPC", "Overlord: Origin" and "Rise of the Jester" (Those are really great fanfics, I recommend to read if you like the series. They and other more are in my "Overlord" ReadPaste here in my Wattpad Account.) I had an Inspiration to try and write this. Because of the Title, yes, this has something to do with my TBATE fic as well, but you dont need to read that to understand this one. All information needed will be in the fic, without other sources. "A More Experienced" is the name I'm giving to all my fanfics with all of them having a thing in common. Have fun!}

Okay, I'm not gonna drive my potential fans away with a boring Bio. And with that being said, let's get into this Sexy-Ass Intro... In a World... (Yes, read this in the cool narrator voice.) Where real life blows and everyone is sucked into the world of Virtual Gaming, Three Badass MF's breakthrough the plagued darkness and straight through the Heavens!! ... Okay, now for The Real Intro. With so many advancements in technology in the world, at this point, Virtual Reality has become the actual mainstream way of life.

Not A Mob, Not A NPC Either by Mr_Rinzuri
17 parts Ongoing
"Don't make a bet you'll regret later." That's what Felix thought as he stood in disbelief. A reincarnator from Earth, he'd been playing Argonaut Online, a brutal, realistic survival FPS, when the new update-Guns vs Magic, a collaboration with the popular light novel and anime Tales of Endelos-pushed him over the edge. He'd made a foolish challenge in the forums, and now here he was... in another world. Not a mob, not an NPC. Definitely not the main character. All he had was the ability carried over from the game: Weapon Box Summon. With it, he could pull any weapon from his inventory or purchase more from the in-game market. "Dammit," Felix muttered, clenching his fists. "This world... whoever sent me here... I'll survive no matter what. No one's going to dictate my fate-" [Mission! Enroll at Aethergarde Academy Reward: ?? Failure: Death Time Limit: 21 Days, 4 Hours, 47 Seconds] "Fuck it!" he shouted. PS: Cover was AI generated. Thank you [Redacted] for generating it to me.
Rimelion: The Exploiter by MarekSusicky
81 parts Ongoing
What is reality? I was John-now Charlie, a woman with a VR game tester's cunning and a professional whiskey enthusiast's attitude. But then AIs have risen, and my job evaporated faster than last night's drink. Just when I hit rock bottom, this punk kid-barely old enough to shave-dropped a bombshell: "Reality's just a simulation." Sure, buddy. I laughed it off. Until I woke up twenty years in the past. Now, thanks to a hacking mishap, I'm a regular girl in reality-with a debt and an attitude-navigating Rimelion, the VR game I once mastered, as Charlie, an elven priestess with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Seriously though, fighting in high heels? Will I claw my way up the nobility ladder? Dominate the rankings? Outwit the government and their plans to exploit us all? Maybe. But something's off. The game feels too real. My memories don't line up, and everyone has their own version of what's true. Simulation? Reality? The lines are a blur-and I'm stuck in the middle. If I want to stop a dystopian future, I'll need allies, both in-game and out. Oh, and avoid ticking off the AIs hunting me for bending the rules. Survival's a long shot-but I was never one to play fair anyway. *** What to expect: - Light LitRPG story with an emphasis on strategy and world-building - First-person perspective (and occasional close third POVs) - A witty protagonist with a conversational sarcastic, humorous and often self-deprecating voice - A sci-fi world with mysteries sprinkled with fantasy elements - A rich game world system with kingdoms, rules, exploits, and challenges - Supporting characters with personal goals Schedule: * Posting on RoyalRoad and Scribblehub, here after bulk is done
