The story of the Hostel and Resource Simulator
Subtitle: Forts, Finance, Farms, Factories, Factions, Faith, Foundation and Fighting.
I have always like 4X games, but everything changed when I tried this 8F game. I was addicted and did not plan to stop.
I have never played a game that was so different from real life, but so alike. It was when I realized that paper currency from some computer-generated NPC had serial numbers attached when it hit me. The game tracked the serial numbers on the virtual currencies in the game. Game developers do not just add boilerplate and unnecessary content to be processed when players receive no stimulation from it. What started as me thinking of a city simulator ended up being what ever I could imagine.
I could live life on the country side breeding horses or playing match maker as a village chief. Turning a region into a vineyard could lead to either death from bandits or becoming an aristocrat in one fell swoop. I even tried counterfeiting and other nefarious things in the game. The game had some exaggerations, learning magic or becoming god for example. Monsters spawn randomly, events where the environment mysteriously improve, non-renewable resources can now regenerate, or portals open and allow waves of monsters to invade like a tower defense. It reminded me of that game where you are only having fun when you lose, but this game still allowed the unexpected. You could just teleport away from danger or become a skeleton or spirit after death and start a new adventure as an undead wanting revenge on the dragon that killed you.
However, I did not know.
This was an alpha test and something had plans for me to try the beta next. I was taken from my reality and placed in an Alternate Universe (AU).

The world is filled with war, martial arts, cultivation, dao, magic, psychic, and other energy forces. I wake to find the previous me who lost everything. Everything was in ruins or tatters; whether it would be family, loved ones, dreams, or even my situation. With my only allies being a fiancee I do not trust and my personal magical ability, I decide to rely on my new memories.
