ArchSpire [Psychological Progression LITRPG]

"It’s fun to pretend. It’s always more fun to pretend. And it doesn’t matter what position in life I find myself in. I’d always rather pretend. Make me a slave, and I’ll portray myself a king. Crown me, and I’ll search for the garment of the unfortunate. The grass is always greener on the others side. As long as I breathe, I’ll always want what I can’t have. I suppose I’m not the only one who feels that way, because too many of us had little trouble accepting ourselves as guinea pigs after we realized what ArchSpire really was. We were promised just another VRMMORPG, I was, at least, but I’m glad it turned out to be something much more. I still can’t believe all the hardships I endured, people I hurt, things I did – all to become what I was never meant to be – all to be free." ~ Tian Impo★ Ruoxing Ruoxing, a sophomore majoring in computer science, was shunned from his wealthy family a year ago and has decided he will make a name for himself. Now, he finds himself invited to ArchSpire, a VRMMORPG claiming to have created "perfect immersion", but on launch day he realizes that the world he's entered insists on blurring the edges of reality and refuses to let go of him... Twenty-five unique floors await to be beaten while Ruoxing desperately holds on to keep up. As if a world with dangerous threats and challenges wasn't enough, Ruoxing gained the attention of a rather dangerous player who had already set his eyes on dominating their own world, before deciding to dominate this one as well... Godlike Admins, ruthless floor bosses, traitors, manipulators, psychopathic sadists - Ruoxing has no choice but to outsmart each and every one on his way to the top!Even if NPCs and Players alike keep mentioning the weakness of his... Soul... What to expect: - Slow to Medium paced - Multi POV (with a clearly defined MC) - Dynamic and gray characters - Light LITRPG - Philosophy  - - - - -  ArchSpire will now and forever be a story of victory and overcoming - because those are simply the stories I like best.
