A young, well-known journalist prepared to livestream the Siege of Tyo, both on YouTube and his own website. He already had over ten million viewers in chat, waiting for the stream to begin, breaking his former record by a huge margin. Finally, the time was right, and he began the stream. "Hello to all! I'm Raphaëlle Bacqué, AKA 'Pro-Streamer.' I'm live from the siege camp outside Tyo, the planetary capital of the planet Era, in the critically acclaimed VRMMORPG you all know and love, 'Horus!'

The next morning, Apophis returned to the hotel after finishing his morning jog. Antanria was happy to see Apophis again and jumped into his arms. Apophis didn't want to get too attached to an NPC, so after a quick hug, so as not to act too cold, he put her down. Then Apophis ordered them the best breakfast of the hotel, a real feast that cost more than 1,024 GC! It was quite a lot of money to spend on a meal, to be sure, but Apophis was feeling especially extravagant that morning. After they finished…

Warning: This chapter is rated R18 for violence. *** The beam of power from opening the chest had attracted a large squad of players who soon arrived at the crater where Apophis was standing. This group was led by "Joy," the player who had executed the poor Tyotting in front of everyone. His squad was composed of a hundred players, including twenty who were at least lvl 5 and so had unlocked their class. The squad looked excitedly at Apophis standing still in the center of the crater. There had…

Apophis woke up sweating, wondering if everything he'd just experienced had been a simple nightmare. But he barely had time to catch his breath before receiving a notification. System: Congratulations on completing No_Value-rank quest "Survive!" Final grade: S+ Reward: Chest (Artifact) An artifact chest?! Chests, unlike most item drops, contained particularly old items–ones which made even the lost Zetark look young by comparison. Chests locked their contents in a temporal bubble, providing the…

"So," said Cortana, "'you' are the anomaly! You were not supposed to be able to penetrate here, so how did you arrive here?" Apophis, his head still spinning because of what he had just experienced, stammered. "I… I ..." "Ah," said Cortana, "I see! I'll adjust your adrenaline level so you can answer." She snapped her fingers and Apophis quickly felt better. He sat down on the floor, took a breath, and said, "When I logged in with my new game booth, there was an update. But it wouldn't update…

System: Your soul has been destroyed. Apophis's heart pounded. His hands shook. What would happen now? This wasn't a simple character death which one could return from. This was permanent, like dying in Ironman mode in a dungeon. System Notification: Your Passive Skill has activated. A beam of light illuminated the whole room, and a familiar face appeared. It was the Goddess Varda Elentári, who had appeared mysteriously before his party in Gravedigger's Tower! Varda Elentári waved her hand and cast…

Apophis opened his eyes. A wave of absolutely incredible relief ran through his body, for he was still alive! Then he received the following notification. System: You have entered the Raid at lvl ??? No_Location difficulty. That was a strange and glitchy notification, but far better than being dead. Apophis gathered his wits and inspected his character.

Alexander settled into the game cabin and put the feeding pipes into his mouth. Though it was weird to think about, the cabin could feed the user's body food and vitamins during long play sessions. It was an important safety measure. Since he had changed his client platform from VRI helmet to game cabin, Alexander re-entered his username and password, then connected. System: Welcome to the Galaxy of Horus! The game needs to update. Please log out. "Ah, shit," he grumbled. Then he paused. "Eh, where's…

By the time Alexander disconnected, it was midnight. He grabbed something to eat, took a shower, and went to bed. His alarm clock rang at 8 AM, waking him up from sleep. Though he was eager to spend time with his family, first Alexander consulted his finances. He'd just sold 120,000 GC for 560,000 credits… that is, the equivalent of thirty-five years of the salary his father earned. Very satisfied with this result, Alexander went down to have breakfast with his family and to tell them the good…
