[Aeulheim] is one of the last surviving keyboard-and-mouse MMORPGs in a world dominated by Virtual Reality a.k.a Full-Dive Games. Due to it's last update, the players magically found themselves residing in the bodies of their game avatars.

With Game Moderators being unreachable and log out function being disabled, the players spent their first few days fearfully trapped in a game they once loved as they witnessed the deaths of fellow players. News soon spread that resurrection is possible. Apparently, they only needed to set cathedrals located in major cities as their spawn point. A few days later, this news was confirmed as a dumb/brave man who ventured too far from the safe zones died and revived on the same night

The confirmation of the revival function brought drastic changes. Players soon became relaxed. They continued hunting monsters and amassing gold while others were killing fellow players and and ruling over NPCs.

While others were engrossed in the game, Blake had long thought that the game had hidden some secrets. The NPCs, The Monsters, The Items, The Players. Everything is linked through the Will of Aeulheim, which is technically the game system. Countless Secrets are hidden on plain sight and the clues can be found with a simple call of the "Status" or "Inventory". 

"This is not a simply a game" he said.

Items? Gold? Equipment? Skills? Class? Ranking? Quests? Titles? Soon, most the players will find out that these things are only secondary. They couldn't rely on these things permanently.

Monsters? Bosses? They are nothing compared to fear of changes that came along with the game.

Respawn? Resurrection? Revival? Immortality? Soon, they will despair as they realize that the thing they relied the most on could not even help them against the greatest threat to their very own Existence.

My writing speed is slow and I don't have much time on my hands so I'll only post updates 3x a week. The temporary schedule would be M/W/F. Any updates might be released earlier or later depending on the circumstances.

This is my first writing experience so I'm open to any criticisms and suggestions. Just comment it and I'll do my best to slowly improve my chapters.

Power Stones are welcomed but not necessary. Comments/Reviews are greatly appreciated

The Warden of Aeulheim

High-forged = A term used by players to describe a character with exceptional equipment.


Aeulheim uses a forging system to upgrade weapons and equipment. It is not rare for a player to use the same equipment acquired at level 10 all the way to maximum level. In fact, most players over level 70 stick to their equipment and rarely switch gears unless it is economically feasible. This is because a weapons level, grade and quality can all be upgraded through the forging system. 


The dreaded "Durability" system and supposedly "enhancements" that degrade or even break a weapon does not exist in this game.


Poor Wooden Staff is the name of the equipment. It consists of "Quality Modifier" + "Item Name"


Level 1. This is the level requirement to wield the equipment. This is also referred to as the Item's level. Aside from level 1, all Item Levels are in multiples of 10.


Main Attribute: this is the Basic Stat of the Equipment. In the example, the maim attribute is MATK +4.


Enchantment Grade: 1. This refers to the grade of enchantments attached to the item. An Item can have a maximum of 3 enchantments but Level 100+ items unlock an extra enchantment slot for a total of 4 enchantments. In the example  the enchantments are Lv1. Increased MATK+2, HIT +2, and MP.RES +3.


Enchantments can also be grouped into two, those with a level and those without.


The modifier "poor" in the name indicates the quality of the equipment. Quality has 10 ranks where each rank improves the main attribute of the equipment. The forging process uses Sapphire Stones and success rate can be further boosted by using Crystals.


The equipments Level can be upgraded through the use of rubies and success rate can also be further increased thru the use of Crystals. Keep in mind though that as the level of the Item increases, the Level Requirement also increases.


The Enchantment Grades can be upgraded through the use of emeralds and success rate can also be further increased thru the use of Crystals. The grade Ranks are simply Grade 1 to Grade 10. Enchantments with levels could be levelled up by using Platinum which will be introduced later in the game
