Humanity Online: World Sanctuary

After an accident leaves pro-gamer Eric Lieu both mentally and physically scarred, he’s forced to leave the pro circuit and any chance he’d ever have at being the “best.” In real life, socially-awkward loners whose facial muscles only seem to recognize “surly frown” and “smug-ass smirk” as expressions don’t get to rule the world. But then eccentric genius Zhao Jianyu launches Viren’s Refuge, the first full-immersion VRMMORPG, and Eric decides to join this game of Gods and monsters to rise from the ashes even stronger than before. Citing his belief that “Games belong to the Gamers,” Zhao Jianyu refuses corporate investments and offers an unbelievable deal to hardcore gamers: Play for Shares! The first 10,000 players to buy the insanely expensive VR gear and game subscription will receive stock in Zhao Jianyu’s private company. Furthermore, once the initial 9 Mythic Realms of the game are defeated, the Final Player Rankings will determine who inherits the company. Zhao Jianyu does all he can to make the playing field equal against the corporations determined to exploit his game, but it will be up to the gamers themselves to prove that those who enjoy the game the most will always be the ultimate winners. With the help from a quirky cast of friends Eric definitely didn’t ask for (and can’t understand why they keep sticking around), Eric is determined to win the game for the gamers and help Zhao Jianyu realize his dream of a world safe for all types of people—even the loser loners. But with so many real-world stakes, will Eric be able to survive long enough to prove the true worth of a gamer?

Hello my lovely Chaos Minions!

Thank you so much for sticking with me for the last 7 months of insanity. It's been AMAZING, and I've loved every minute of it. And now, I have FOUR pieces of crazy news.

Big News ONE: I am afraid the time has come: Premium is here. I know many of you were hoping I'd be able to just sell the book hardcover and call it a day, but unfortunately, my contract with WebNovel doesn't work like that, and I have no say in making that a reality. I managed to hold off this long, but once I hit chapter 100, it was all over. I made sure they wouldn't put any of the chapters you've already read behind a pay wall, though, so don't worry about that.

TWO: WebNovel changed its rules recently, and now every new novel is required to use "Privilege." I'll be using only the lowest-tier 1-coin privilege for 2 chapters, so don't worry about it costing you a ton extra or anything, but I'm afraid I can't get out of using it. You, of course, don't need to purchase privilege to read my book! All chapters will be made available as more chapters release. I will be trying to write shorter chapters so they come out faster and don't cost too much, but I don't know how that will go. If you have to use Fast Passes for my longer chapters, I completely understand! If you can no longer keep reading because it's too expensive to pay for my book a chapter at a time, I also understand, and I'm so sorry. Hopefully one day WebNovel will decide to publish my book and you can buy it then!

Even if you can't keep reading, please feel free to join the Discord and keep up with the Chaos Community that way. Invite Code: hqJDEew

THREE: In other crazy news, the "Zeus F*cks the World, Both Literally and Figuratively" podcast is officially a GO! Some of you are aware I've always wanted to record a podcast where I tell the insane myths and legends I studied in college and put into my book, and now, it's actually going to be a reality! More details to come soon!

I also plan on hosting "Sessy Sessions" (either videos or live-streams, depending on my internet connection) where I discuss all things Writing and Literature, and I even plan on streaming while I write chapters so you can see how incredibly insane my brain actually is and how ridiculous my so-called "process" is. Next month, I'll post all my writer-related social media on Discord and also on my main WebNovel page and in an Author's Note.

FOUR: Finally, I am officially calling for any reader (or friend of a reader) who takes Art Commissions! I'm looking to commission a new Cover for the novel, as well as some fan-art pieces to turn into give-aways. If you are interested, please reach out to me on Discord (Seshata #9875) or comment with a link to your art.
