Tritania, a MMORPG fantasy digital dreamworld, has been around for over a decade. It's known for its three floating continents, its in-game language, and the legendary battles that were waged there some years ago.
Madoka and his female friend, Tamana, have gone just about as far as an avatar can go in Tritania. They were near the highest level, part of one of the best guilds around, had battled everything from dragons to warlocks on all three continents, and honestly, they were bored with their success. So they decided to become "resetters", players who start over at a lower level just for the challenge.
Then the unthinkable happens.
Madoka watches as Tamana takes her life in a Tokyo subway. He scrambles to find what's left of her in-game avatar in Tritania, only to discover that she's been kidnapped. Something sinister is happening to people around the world, and whatever it is, it is attacking them from within the game. As Madoka tries to get to the bottom of this, his brother, a young Yakuza crime boss, does everything he can to make Madoka's life a living hell. And that's not the only thing after him - NPCs are gunning for him as well.
The real world, a digital world, a digital world playing out in the real world: the thin line between dream and reality is pixilated in Fantasy Online, a LitRPG series that blends fantasy, cyberpunk, sci-fi, and humor into a psychological tour de force.
Note: Posted on RoyalRoadsL are pre-edited chapters of Fantasy Online. The final release will be edited by my longtime editor, George C. Hopkins. I will repost edited chapters as they become available. For more of this world, check out my other litRPG scifi series The Feedback Loop.
