Hey Peeps, Author Here! As I conclude Volume One, I thought I should explain a few things. First, I will be moving to Daily Updates. My chapters run on the longer side, so only one chapter a day for now. This novel doesn’t fly through plot like some others, but if you like well-developed storylines, vivid imagery and action, and high-quality writing, this is the story for you! I have the entire storyline mapped out, and MC will always be moving toward that final epic climax. Though it includes all the fun gamer story tropes, one thing that makes this novel different is the weaving of world mythologies throughout the storyline. From weapons to mobs to game maps, real mythical or legendary elements come into play. I also include some historical or mythical context in the Author Notes from time to time, if that kind of thing interests you! I try to balance action and deep or dark elements with humor, so it’s the kind of story that is both gritty and giggle-inducing. There will not be a harem; MC falls fast and hard for a badass FL, though there will be other female characters in general (SAO-style). The romance will be similar to SAO, in that it exists and is fun and leads to its own misadventures and social awkwardness, but it’s not what moves the plot. I hope you enjoy Humanity Online: World Sanctuary!

As a gamer, this book really speaks to me. Author actually captures what it's really like. Also, it's funny as f*ck. Author also has great language and grammar!

This story is a wild adventure of epic! With a MC that makes you feel as if you’re sitting on your best friend’s couch, watching him play games late at night and a complex structure that engulfs the reader in its world, you won’t want to put it down. It’s evident the author has put a painstaking amount of research into video games, monsters, VR and Asian culture. This is a story that places you in the middle of a death game and you aren’t sure if you’ll survive the next boss fight. Extremely well written and deserving of your read.

Alright. This keeps my attention, completely. Love every second I spend reading this, like all good books takes me completely out of my world and transports me into a different one.

Seshata has hit their groove early on in Humanity Online: Viren’s Refuge. Readers closely follow Erik Lieu in first person, present tense as he dives into the world’s first and greatest VRMMORPG. An elite gamer, his running narrative reveals him to be equal parts confident (bordering on arrogance) and vulnerable (humble enough to know when to laugh at himself). And readers will laugh! His self-aware, at times self-conscious, at times self-deprecating, cynicisms leave no one unscathed. His incisive wit (read: snark) dissects a well-planned world rich in detail, historical lore, and ripe with future potential. And not just gaming potential! The stakes are high in Viren’s Refuge with a sweetened pot provided by the games originator. And for Erik, making his way to the top is about more than just being the best — it’s personal, too. Action-packed cinematic sequences meld seamlessly with plot-turns and character exploits in chapters written so well they virtually read themselves aloud to you. This book is perfect for anyone who has ever sought the answer to - do video game Gods have a sense of humor? Or - what happens if the Chosen One loses his trousers? I can’t wait to find out, myself!

The author is giving their all in the world development of this tale of a forcefully retired pro gamer on his rise back to the top in a new, experimental VRMMORPG. Their extensive knowledge of video games is coupled with their love of mythos and lore. I wait with bated breath for every chapter.

I Can Extract Game Items

August Clementine was once Reacher, a wealthy and thrill-seeking businessman who had everything but satisfaction in life. After a fatal adventure, Reacher awakens on a parallel Earth, in the body of the destitute and troubled 19-year-old August Clementine. With his new identity, August finds himself burdened with debt and responsible for his beloved younger sister, Sophia. Desperate to change their fate, August immerses himself in Enders Light, a cutting-edge VRMMORPG that blurs the line between virtual and reality. In this fantastical game world, players can bring specific items that meet certain requirements into the real world and even gain a fraction of their in-game abilities and strength. Stuck at level 12 and unable to progress past his starting village due to a rare armor shortage, August must rely on his wits and determination. A breakthrough comes when he retrieves a mystical purification stone from a river teeming with magical aqua beasts and uses it to cleanse an ancient, corrupted altar. His reward includes the legendary Fruit of Corruption, a priceless item with the potential to grant supernatural abilities in the real world. Caught between the allure of selling the fruit for financial security and the temptation of gaining extraordinary powers, August must make a choice that will define his and Sophia’s future... "What? I gained the ability to extract any item from the game into the real world without restrictions?"
