'The Secret World Online' is a world of cultivation, magic, kingdom building, ancient legacies, ancient powerful beasts and other strange concepts. A virtual world where a system exists to guide you through the vague prompts and skip most of the boring things. Everyone wants access to this new VRMMO. Going into beta phase, Jack Hunt strangely receives an invite from an old friend. Not knowing what he’s doing, he gets absorbed in the virtual world as he founds his own village, meets new people and kills mystical beasts. Slowly he unravels the truth about this so-called ‘virtual world’... This is a story that I'm working on after getting inspiration from reading 'The Lords Empire' in particular, then various other Wuxia/Cultivation novels I have read previously. My first proper attempt at writing a long story and learning/feeling as I go, so don't expect high quality nor much editing, so if you read it thank you so much! (Rough early chapters, it improves later on. I'll remove this message when I have rewritten them)

Ahh! School had ended and it is time to go home and relax... Who am I lying to? I have tuition after school every day, being forced to learn some useless facts with a bunch of idiots with the risk of being killed by a back scratcher. You don't know what tuition is? Count yourself lucky, but if you are curious… Come and join a colourful cast of characters as they give you the most inaccurate representation of what a tuition center is! An adventure filled with laughs, love, friendships, perverts, and stupidity. Not so sure about the friendship and love part, but the stupidity and perverts are one hundred percent correct!

A dungeon suddenly appeared that engulfed an entire continent, leaving but thirteen countries surrounding it. At the bottom of the seemingly endless dungeon, a gigantic EYE

In the world of Althera, fate itself seemed to have chosen its leading actors. Heroes received blessings from the gods, gaining powers that transcended the limits of mortal capability. Regressors returned from the future bearing memories of the world's coming destruction. Reincarnators carried knowledge from their previous lives, creating wonders that should never have existed in that era. Even the Novel Readers who found themselves drawn into this world possessed knowledge of its secrets, its pivotal figures, and the storyline that would determine the fate of the continent. Each of them possessed something that made them extraordinary. Something that granted them an advantage over everyone else. Yet there existed one being who possessed none of those things. His name was Alunaris. He was not a Hero chosen by the gods. Not a Regressor who knew the future. Not a Reincarnator carrying knowledge from another world. Nor was he a Transmigrator who knew the story of this world. Alunaris was the very first being ever born in Althera. Long before the gods forged their kingdoms. Long before dragons ruled the skies. Even before the concepts of magic and fate were known to the world. While others relied on blessings, systems, knowledge of the future, and hidden information, Alunaris possessed nothing but himself. Yet there was one secret that no one knew. If the gods were the creators of the world... Then Alunaris was the Witness who had watched that world come into being. And as countless individuals burdened by fate began their struggle for Althera’s future, they slowly came to realize a terrifying truth. The being they had considered the most ordinary among them all... Was, in reality, the oldest existence, the greatest mystery, and perhaps the one closest to the origin of the world itself.

Writer: "Hello, there." He said to you—reader. "Don't worry. This whole 4th wall-breaking thingy, won't be the main theme of this novel. I promise" he said winking. "And like your first time, it's gonna end real quick." He said holding his laughter. "Anyways, If you are looking for a novel: full of bad parodies, jokes that don't land quite right, and gore scenes that might make you question the author's sanity. And of course, without forgetting to mention, a bunch of Jojo-like characters, meaning: Hot, and beefy dudes—by the way, I'm one of them.—that will make you question your sexuality, I can assure you that. And all of it covered with cringe; and when I say cringe, I meant it, a lot of it. If you are looking for that, and somehow, wasn't locked up in an asylum yet. Oh, boy! Do I have a novel for you? Oh! I almost forget to say; so I'm gonna say it now, for some reason, the author of this "thing" decided to only introduce me—the main character—in the story later on. So it gonna take some time for your boy here, to show up. But don't worry, I will show up—inevitably, at some point, I think. And one more thing, my name is Writer and the author calls himself Author; so if it gets confusing in the future, blame that uncreative pile of garbage, not me."
