shanks is overrated

Sorin Makarov was the undisputed best player in the revolutionary VRMMORPG Astria as well as its number 1 guild-master. He crawled through the leader boards, made friends with unsavory people, started wars and created mountains of virtual corpses to be where he is. And he is successful. He has political power, money, women, and all of the other joys of life. But he has a problem, he's unhappy. Sorin sees the world in a grey monotone that only playing Astria fixes. After giving his corporate sponsors the finger to escape the confines of the guild, his building is struck by lightning, throwing him back in time before the game launched. "Worlds number 1 player and guild? Let someone else have it. I just want to enjoy Astria my way." ... Currently I am drafting up how this novel will shape so I will constantly update older chapters. A few things though. No harem 'planned'. The whole novel will focus more on the single player part of Astria and have little to do with player and even less irl conflicts. Grammar and plot hole feedback appreciated. No update schedule yet. This is purely for my enjoyment and I thought I would share with others. Enjoy

After centuries of conquering the world, defeating heroes, and torturing poor souls (because it’s his job), the mighty Demon Lord (Kayn) has had enough. The constant screaming, the hero attacks, the drama—it’s just too much. So what’s a legendary overlord to do when world domination gets way too exhausting? He quits. Yes, that’s right—Kayn packs up his evil cape, walks out of his dark fortress, leaves his minions awkwardly standing by the gates, and heads to a quiet village to open an inn. Why? Because he’s tired. He’s tired of the constant destruction. He’s tired of dealing with heroes who have no idea how to mind their own business. And honestly, he’s just here for some peace, quiet, and maybe a few naps. But being an innkeeper isn’t exactly as relaxing as it sounds. Kayn's inn quickly becomes a hotspot for mischief. There’s the local hero who insists on 'challenging' him (even though Kayn is clearly just trying to enjoy his coffee). Then there are the villagers who refuse to stop asking why he never smiles, and don’t get him started on the weird monster outbreaks that just keep happening around the inn. Will Kayn ever get the relaxing, hero-free life he so desperately craves? Or will he be dragged back into the chaos of his past, whether he likes it or not? One thing’s for sure: Being a Demon Lord is a lot easier than running an inn.

Cries and sobs echoed all around, and he sat alone in a corner, silently weeping. Today, he had lost his only support—his mother. From childhood till now, she had been his whole world. His father had passed away before he was even born. The relatives had long turned their backs, and now only the neighbors were there, offering him condolences. But some pains are too deep for words to heal. He wasn’t just carrying his mother’s coffin on his shoulders—he was burying his entire world.

My top might have ridden up a little and I just could not possibly stop myself from grinning whenever I caught him staring "Does someone love my tattoos?" I asked with a teasing smile and a silly look plastered on my face "They are beau--ti--ti--ti--ful--ful" he stammered and held the steering wheel tighter "Cats got your tongue or are you just nervous around a sexy thing like me" I said and purred, enjoying how he was getting red. He was a tough one, he refused to stare at me, he just kept his focus on the road. "Awww, am I not tempting enough to steal your attention?" I said mocking how focused he was.

"Aww you are looking all red and stuff" I teased and poked him for added effects. "I had no idea boys could be this red" I added and continued to tease him with my laughter 'I think he has had enough teasing for a day'   my subconscious reminded me. I turned to look at Sebastian, he was red and was gripping the wheels like his life depended on it. He really makes teasing easy but not fun, he is not flirting back, making me look like a whore 'You are one' my subconscious reminded me again, I gasped and smirked 'Am I?'

I sort of miss Regina, sorry my room, I might be asleep right now or trapped in a book, got to keep straight A's.

I asked "I have brought you to your doom...
