In the year 2036, artificial intelligence is as ordinary as electricity—powering homes, writing essays, and replacing entire industries. But when Playtoon Co., a mid-sized South Korean tech company, unveils UPRAISED, the world’s first full-dive MMORPG, everything changes.
Unlike anything before it, UPRAISED doesn’t just simulate reality—it evolves with it. Taste, pain, freedom, consequence—every sensation is real. And for Lukas, a 24-year-old convenience store clerk in Manila stuck in a loop of routine and quiet frustration, it’s more than a game. It’s a way out.
Haunted by the feeling that life is passing him by, Lukas spends his savings on a NeuroDrive capsule and dives in. No plan. No class picked. Just hope. But the shadows welcomed him—and soon, so did the blade.
But UPRAISED isn’t a fantasy playground. It’s alive—with adaptive AI, ruthless players, and a system that doesn’t always play fair. When Lukas is unexpectedly flagged as a Red Name—marked for death, hunted by players, and feared by NPCs—he learns the hard way: in this world, every choice has weight, and every mistake has teeth.
This isn’t just a second life.
It’s the only one that ever felt real.
And as Lukas rises through the chaos, he uncovers a deeper truth: UPRAISED is more than a single world. Hidden within its code are sealed realms—forgotten, forbidden, and waiting. When the first portal opens, it won’t just be a new expansion.
It will be war.
Will be uploading 2 chapters later. Stay tuned. Thank you for the support!🎉
Now thats going somewhere! The writing style is good, especially during the battle, and I like that theres a lot of skills at work. I think the end was such an unexpected cliff hanger. Anyways, if you like power fantasy with a discreet mc then this is def the stuff for you!
First impressions: The premise is interesting and the MC is one of the better ones when it comes to slick gamer types. About the only nitpick is that there are a few spots in the early chapters where the same info is repeated a couple of times.
TRASH, DO NOT READ! TRASH, DO NOT READ! If it is trash, why is it 5 star? It was to get your attention. Now that I got your attention. What to expect: Good settings and system so far. It has that sao vibe to it, he class from the start is the most interesting. 15 different starting class? That's unheard of. Most tend to start with the basic like warrior, archer, thief, etc. There's even the scythe class to start, if only Lukas choose scythe!
Hey everyone! I’ll be uploading 1 to 2 chapters every day if I can. Thanks for checking out Upraised and I hope you’re enjoying the story so far. Feel free to leave a comment or drop a review — I’d love to hear what you think!
