Synopsis

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

Detective Agency of the Bizarre

A door unfolded before him. Evil thrived, and whispers spilled from within. The resentful compound eyes flickered and vanished, the presence longing to burst out was blocked inside, and the alluring murmurs echoed in the ear. The sticky, pink brain mumbled something. A figure cloaked in a yellow robe watched from a distance. A dark green presence, smelling of blood, roared. A string of wondrous soap bubbles released friendliness—and many, many guests.

The rules of fair play in detective fiction are quite interesting. Firstly, the narrative should be clear enough for the reader to follow the investigation process. There should be no sudden twists that are not foreshadowed in some way. Second, the detective's actions and thought processes should be reasonable. They can't just randomly guess the solution. Third, the setting and the characters' actions within it should be consistent. If there are some special rules in the world of the story, like in a locked - room mystery, those rules should be adhered to. This way, the reader can engage with the story on an equal footing with the detective, trying to piece together the mystery using the same information.

To follow the rules of fair play, writers need to be careful about introducing new elements late in the story. If they do introduce something new, it should be related to what has been presented before. They should also put themselves in the reader's shoes and think about whether the reader has enough information to make a reasonable guess. Like, if a murder weapon is suddenly introduced at the end without any prior mention, it breaks the rules. Writers should also make sure the detective's methods are believable and not overly contrived.

The rules of detective fiction typically include a clear and engaging mystery at the start. For example, a strange death or disappearance. Then, there's the rule of fair play. This means that all the necessary information for solving the mystery should be available to the reader, even if it's not immediately obvious. Red herrings are also common. These are false clues that mislead the detective and the reader. But ultimately, the solution should be logical and based on the evidence and events presented in the story.
