Path Of War

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular anime. As the other participants—a mix of personalities with varying degrees of anime knowledge—prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in anime. Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. He eventually finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the world of ninjas becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are all real. Angered that he was deceived, he abandons all sense of logic and vows to become a villain no one would have ever anticipated.

Preface

A word before we begin.

This is not your typical Sunday school tale. If you've read the original work, "Conquer the Ninja World," you'll notice that some elements have been taken from it, revised, and implemented into this story.

"Path Of War" carries vivid imagery both beautifully written and quite brutal to read for certain audiences. Meaning, this book does not cater specifically to our Christian readers. While it may be Christian-themed, that does not mean born again Christians should read it.

All your feedback from a lot of the books we've released in the past has been accounted for. To make this journey memorable, we've tightened the pacing and taken some of your comments to heart.

And know this: this is not mere fanfiction. Under protective laws, it stands alone as its own novel. We do not profit from someone else's work, nor do we promote our work in a manner that would offend or get us into trouble.

This novel is well over 300,00 words, which were freely written for your entertainment. Believe it when we say that we know what we're doing.

Furthermore, we would like to apologize since this novel has only been lightly edited and not proofread. However, there is seldom mistakes. Chapters 1-4 are somewhat proofread. From chapters 5-127, majority are rough draft chapters and are likely to have one or two misplaced words. From chapters 128 and 175, they were all proofread thanks to a reader who subscribed to our Patreon.

This particular reader has gotten well-over forty advanced chapters before their initial release. If you decide to become a member, you, too, can get access to unreleased content and authentic designs for all major characters.

While it is not necessary to become a member, your benefits on Webnovel are strongly limited. The link to the Patreon can be found on the author's profile page.

If you find an error and feel the need to point out a correction via a comment, we won't mind making the changes.

Apart from that, old chapters may be updated to ensure a clean read with little to no grammatical errors.

For those unfamiliar with the author's style of writing, he solely focuses on the main character's point of view and will only transition to another character based on the flow of the story. He will always use apostrophes whenever he writes someone's thoughts. An example being, 'I think this book deserves five stars.' Apart from that, he uses orthographic variations from the Oxford English Dictionary (OED). (i.e., Honour (British) vs. Honor (American)).

By opening this novel, you agree to all of its contents and may not take any action against it.

If your reviews or comments are bad, both the author and I will remove them. Not for the sake of keeping the novel with high ratings, but because we genuinely can't tolerate users who leave biased comments without adhering to the tags. That's like writing, "This MC's stuck up and mean," when the description clearly states "villain."

The genre of this novel is Christian fantasy/sci-fi, but it doesn't shy away from gruesome scenes. The world we live in is full of darkness and evil, so we urge those with a frail mind or weak heart not to read if they can't handle the heat.

Last warning before you start: We won't shy away from violent scenes. If you or someone you know has suicidal tendencies, please contact your local church or police station and seek immediate help. There's a light, and that light is in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
