In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs.

The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing.

Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory.

With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter.

"Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred.

"We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added.

"Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added.

Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. 

But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so.

Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now!

I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured.

New Eden: Live to Play, Play to Live

It had been a little over an hour now since the tournament's first phase had started. Astaroth was still exploring the tropical forest.


He guessed that if there was a hidden zone, this place was the most likely entrance to it. Tropical jungles were renowned for their mysteries and confounding terrain.


So he refused to go into another zone. By now, they had already taken the first hundred players down.


A little under four hundred players were left to kill before phase one ended. At this rate, it would take another four hours or more.


It all depended on how safely the players eventually proceeded. If the players left when there were only one hundred left to eliminate, hid, and extended this, hoping to be last, then this could go on for a long time.


Astaroth was kind of hoping that would be the case though since he wanted to find an Easter egg. As he mused about the possible hidden treasures he would find, Astaroth heard a muffled voice from somewhere near.
