《Another World Online》 Prologue First name Declan, last name Decter. Username? Lantern. That''s me. Im a game developer. Im currently working on a new VRMMORPG called "Another Earth Online". My dream is to create a second life, for me, for everyone. The game is almost finished. Im currently working on a "Country" and "Realm" system. To explain this basically, a Country is a bunch of guilds uniting together to create a country. The realm is the same thing but it''s countries uniting. I had a lot of fun creating this with my friends. I can still remember the first time I actually programmed a VR-P0D. It was a normal night at the office the day that happened. I was just finished making the Country and Realm system. I had nonstopped programming for an entire week without sleeping. I don''t know how''s that possible. [Hey, Declan. I''ll take the night shift don''t worry. You nonstopped for a week programming this game.] [Thanks, Be sure to take care of the game. She''s my life''s work.] I left the office and crossed the road while carrying my bags. I felt sleepy, so I couldn''t helped but to close my eyes while crossing the road. I didn''t even realize that a truck was about to hit me. When I opened my eyes, I was in a totally different place, or should I say world. It was unbelieveable. I was in a hill. The place looks similar to Detero Hills. A place that I created specifically for admins to hangout in Another Earth Online. I gasped and a menu showed up in front of me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level : 1 (Sys.Admin.Changeable) Health : 100 (Var.Admin.Changeable) Mana : 100 (Var.Admin.Changeable) Race : Human (Typ.Admin.Changeable)Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. Title : Admin (Rwn.Admin.Changeable) Class : Warrior (Typ.Admin.Changeable) Strength : 1 (Sts.Admin.Changeable) Dexterity : 1 (Sts.Admin.Changeable) Willpower : 1 (Sts.Admin.Changeable) Luck : 1 (Sts.Admin.Changeable) Current Location : Special Admin Hangout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It''s the Status menu that I made. The extra line of code there can only be seen by admins. Sys indicating the type of variables. Admin indicating the person authority. Changeable means I can change it. Am I in my own game? This is overwhelming. Perhaps I should figure out what to do first. I tried to open my Skill menu by thinking about it but it doesn''t work. I tried waving my right hand and the menu popped up near the Status menu. Perhaps it''ll only work if I move one of my hand or body part and think about it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Authorize.Admin) Ban Mana use : 0 (Authorize.Admin) Kick Mana use : 0 (Skill.Admin) Kill Mana use : 0 (Skill.Admin) Teleport Mana use : 0 (Skill.Admin) Admin Barrier Mana use : 0 (Skill.Admin) Check Mana use : 0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Level one characters shouldn''t have skills but due to the fact that im an admin, I have "cheat" skills. The Admin Barrier supposedly grants you an invisible undestroyable barrier. The Check skills allow you to check other player stats, the check skills is usually used to search for cheaters in the game. I clicked the code on the level status to try to change it. Another menu popped up. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bick back back buck bick?! Back! Bick! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh, this is one of my friend pranks that was made. I didn''t realise it''s still here. Back means yes and Bick means no. I clicked yes and typed the desired level I want to be. I typed 500. 500 is the level cap of Another Earth. Maybe I can be Overpowered like that one anime called "Overlord". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere in Bahagur Realm.... [This skill....He is here. Our supreme lord. The Owner Of Life And Void, Lantern.] To be continued.... Chapter 1: The City Little Helper I changed my current class to a normal wizard. I also changed all of my stats to a bit overpowered. My current STR is now 999, DEX is 999, WIS is 999, and LUK is now 999. I mean who wouldn''t do that? I discovered a command prompt while tinkering with the system. Originally, a command prompt is used to test out a new feature in the game. I typed "give.Lantern.0009DFBB" to test out if it works. An item fell from the sky. It''s a Flawless Barenzah, one of the rarest type of diamonds in Another Earth. I continued to type commands in the prompt. I gave myself "The Staff Of Deity", "Robe Of Wanderer", "Habas Gauntlets", and "Boots Of Elkwood". The Staff Of Deity grants me 70% Magic Effectiveness and an Immortal Effect. Due to The Immortal Effect, the staff won''t let me die as long as I hold the staff. It''ll be helpful. Robe Of Wanderer grants me an 80% Mana and Health Regeneration. It''ll become helpful if I ran out of mana, though I''m not sure what the Health Regeneration would do since I have the Immortal Effect. Habas Gauntlets and Boots Of Elkwood grants me 50% Speed and Time Perception. The time perception is a toggle skill. If I toggle it, I will see the world slower like quicksilver. All of the items I have is an Admin level Item. Currently, there is 7 level of item rarity. Common, Uncommon, Rare, Unique, Forgotten, God, and Admin. An admin item is only accessible and equipable by admins only. Such as me of course. I opened the Equipment menu and equipped all of the items I spawned. I kept the Flawless Barenzah just to fill my inventory menu. I tried to open other menus such as the Map menu. (Note: I currently don''t have a map for this novel so, if you could do make it. That''ll be lovely. I''ll credit you in every chapter <:D) I can the map that I made with my friends. The map is based on earth''s continent. There are currently 8 Realms, more than 20 countries, and more than a hundred guilds existing. What the hell happened? I just woke up here and it''s like 200 years has passed. I clicked on a random country called "Asienodni". A menu showed up again.

Whoa those are some hellish option. I don''t even wanna know what the Other Options are. I clicked teleport and everything went bright. When the brightness fades away, I''m suddenly in front of a fountain with a statue of one of my friend. I guess he''s considered a god in this city.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. I looked around and there are people with ragged clothing gathered around me to watch me. what is this feeling, I feel overwhelmed. Do they never see a person teleported before or Teleportation is considered a high-level skill? Or is it something else? I left the scene and walked around the city. While snooping around the city, I discovered that this city is in a bad condition. The walls are obliterated. The buildings are ruined. The condition of this city is basically poverty. A man wearing a knight armor greeted me. [Hi stranger. You came to this city in a bad time.] [Bad time? What happened to this city?] [Acirema attacked us. Either way, I recommend you to leave this city.] [Can I do something to help?] [Yeah, maybe you can help us rebuild this city. Talk to Mayor Rowald if you wanna help the labor.] [What about money?] [That''s if you have a lot of money. Either way talk to Rowald in the Market District.] [Ok thanks.] So, this city has been attacked by a neighboring country called "Acirema". I should help this city with cash. I went to the Market District to talk to this Rowald. The Market District is in a good shape even though this city has been attacked. I found Mayor Rowald ordering the labor to fix the wall. Mayor Rozwald is a pretty fat and old person. He wears a black garment and top hat. [Are you Mayor Rowald?] [Yes. What do you want?] [Im here to help with the repair of this city.] [Great, We need all the help we can get. You should start helping those men rebuilding the walls.] [No, I mean by help is through cash.] [Cash? We need one billion denars. Do you have that much?] I quickly opened the command prompt and typed "give.Lantern.000000f 1000000000000". I think I overdue it, but who cares? One trillion denars dropped from the sky covering the mayor in denars. The mayor is shocked. [What? How did you do that? It''s one trillion! You helped us a lot stranger! We can even add some improvements because of you! Much thanks for you friend!] [Don''t mind it. I''m just helping out the townies.] [Who are you?] [Me? I''m Lantern.] [Lan-tern?] Crowds started surrounding us. I left the scene without a word. It feels good to help. I find myself a hotel to stay for the night. I stayed in room 237. The hotel is pretty nice and creepy, though I don''t remember the name. I decided to test some skills outside the city. I found a slime monster. A slime is pretty hard to fight contrary to the mainstream RPGs. I tested out my Kill skill on the monster. It immediately turned to dust. I got a little bit of EXP from it. I found another slime pretty quickly. I tested out the Admin Barrier and let the monster attacked me. It turned to dust again as soon as it tried to attack me. I forgot to change the title of my character. If someone checked my status, It would have been a trouble. I changed my title to "Wanderer". I returned to the city after I changed my title. Surprisingly enough, the city is in a good shape now. I saw some high leveled wizards leaving the town. It looks like the mayor hired those wizards to repair the city. I saw the mayor running to me while shouting my name. [Lantern! Lantern!] [What?] [Don''t "What?" me. You''re a great help! You''re a hero!] [What did I do? I just provided you some gold.] [Some? Some?! It''s one trillion denars, you dimwit! You can buy a realm with that! Look, come on we invited you to an official ceremony!] [No. I''m tired. I want to find myself a nice and cozy hotel.] [Don''t worry! We''ll even provide you a mansion if you want to! Just come!] [I told you. No. And I don''t need a mansion. I''m a wanderer.] [Man, are you serious?!] [I am serious... Old man.] [Ugh, fine then. Suit yourself! I''ll tell the nobles that you''re busy. Just be sure to drop off my house in the Bay District if you need anything. We owe you a great debt.] [Ok then. Bye.] I find myself another hotel to stay. I slept for a couple of hours before teleporting to another city. Looks like I made too much noise in this one. Chapter 2: Peacekeeper This time I visited Acirema. The neighboring country that attacked Asienodni. I plan to stop the war between Acirema and Asienodni by talking to the king. When I arrived there, it was night already. There are many guards patrolling the streets. There are barely any commoners left at night. I opened the map menu and clicked Acirema. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What do you want to do?

It''s an information screen. It indicates various information about the country. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: The Kingdom Of Acirema Population: 200.000+ People Leader: King Acirema Status: War with Asienodni (70-30) Winning Dukes: Duke Yao, Duke Tao, Duke Bao, Duke Lao.

Read the official version and support the author''s work. Condition: Average Command Center: Topaz Palace ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like I need to go to Topaz Palace to talk to King Acirema. I asked one of the guards the way to Topaz Palace. He pointed me the way to Topaz Palace. I followed the way but something feels off. Something feels like watching me. I looked back and a shadow figure passes by. The figure is slim and holding some kind of weapon. It hides itself in a nearby building. I waited for the the shadow figure to show itself while shouting to it. [Hey man! If you''re the guard earlier. I recommend not following me!] The figure didn''t respond. Instead, he showed himself. It''s a slim man wearing Leather Armors. He pulled out a sword and chanted something. The sword glows and he tried to stab me. The Admin Barrier of course, stopped him. He immediately flew to a nearby house, destroying it completely. I doubt he can get up after that. I continued my way to the palace and met two guards guarding the main entrance to the palace. They stopped me from entering and told me to state my business. I told them that I needed to talk to King Acirema. They whispered something and escorted me to inside the palace. The palace is spooky. It looked like a real Demon King lair. The room is dark and huge. There were spider webs in the ceiling. And the worse thing is, the smell is really stingy. King Acirema is sitting on his throne with a bored look. His subjects can be seen peeking from a room. There are many guards with golden armors lining up near him. [What do you want from me, Traveler?] [I want you to stop the war!] The room bursts into laughter. The king himself laughed hard. His guard and advisors soon followed laughing. [Im sorry, Im sorry. I couldn''t help myself.] [So, Why should I do that?] [Uhh, Because you need to!] The king laughed again but this time only the king laughs. The atmosphere turned grim. The king face showed an ambivalent face. [No.] [Why?] [Because I don''t want to. Guards! Kill this Joker!] Acirema ordered the guards to attack me while grinning. Every guard on Acirema''s side charged at me with their spear. It looks like I have to show that this is not a plea, but a demand. I decided to test out my Kick skill. I opened the skill menu and pressed Kick. A menu popped up indicating the targets. The targets are everyone on the Palace except King Acirema. I clicked Yes and all of the guards and advisors to King Acirema disapeared. King Acirema''s face turned bitter. [You see....This is not a plea from Asienodni. This is a demand from Admin.] [Ye-yes! I''ll stop the war! Just- Spare me!] [Of course.] [May I- Know your name?] [Sure, It''s Lantern] I left the palace with a proud look. I feel badass for saying that. I teleported back to Asienodni. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Somewhere in Acirema....... [Dang it...That man... Who is he?] [He''s a threat to Octobian. I will find him and kill him.] Chapter 3: Creation of a new guild 1 The streets of Asienodni is all empty. There were no guards and commoners left. I walked around back and forth thinking on what should I do next. I feel unsatisfied, yet I don''t know why. I decided to go to the Bay District to visit Mayor Rowald. The Bay District is crowded with nobles. Mayor Rowald is one of the prominent ones in the Bay District. The funny thing is, he''s not noble by blood. Other nobles say he gained nobility through a deed. So technically, I''m a noble like Mayor Rowald because I helped the city. Not like I want to be one, being a noble is troublesome. Too much dramas. Mayor Rowald mansion is haunting me. Everything about the exterior of the mansion is scary, I even got shivers just by looking at it. Mayor Rowald''s butler welcomed me with no expression at all. I gulped and straighten my face. [Welcome Sir Lantern. Mayor Rowald has been expecting you. This way please.] I followed the butler to the inside of the mansion. The interior is better than the exterior. The inside is neat and looks beautiful. The hallway has many decorations. I realized that I was all alone in the hallway now. The butler disappeared. A voice called to me. [Lantern! Here you are! We still owe you a great debt you know. We are thinking of giving you a title of honor! Like, The Savior or.. The Champion Of Asienodni! Kukuku.] [The Savior? That sounds nice. Hehe. But I don''t need the title] [Why are you so humble? First, you gave us one trillion denars then left without saying a word. Second, You declined to come to a ceremony. Third, you declined a title of honor! Friend, you don''t need to be so humble you know. Well, what brings you here?] [Ahh... I need a place to stay?] [A place to stay? Why don''t you just ask for a huge mansion? Kukuku.] [Nah, I''m busy.] [Busy doing what? Stopping another war?] [How''d you know I stopped the war?] [Everybody knows! A messenger from Acirema and said that King Acirema has stopped the war! And guess what else he says? You stopped the war! Looks like we owe you again.] [Hehe. I didn''t think King Acirema would say that.] [Hey, is the rumor true?] [What rumor?] [King Acirema sent every leader a message. The message was: Admin Lantern.] [Really? Hahaha...] The room became awfully quiet for a while.Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. [So, it''s true?] [Yeah..... Don''t tell anyone] [Ok then.... What are you gonna do now?] [Im thinking about changing my name.] [Well, tell me if you need something. The butler will escort you to your room.] I''m glad I told someone that I''m an admin. Though, he''ll probably tell someone that I''m an admin. I feel relieved. I followed the butler to my room. The room is pretty big for a guest. The bed is a king-sized bed. I jumped to the bed and fell asleep pretty fast. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I remembered creating guild when testing the guild feature. I searched for the name of my guild in the map menu. I found the guild. But the name is altered. It looks like someone has hijacked my guild. In the game, you can actually raid a guild. If you won the raid, you can take control of the guild. You can change the name, but not the logo. The territory of the guild is automatically yours. The name of my guild is used to be "Nimda Guild". Now It''s "Flare Clan". I''m gonna make my own guild and take over my old one. This is gonna be fun. I plan to use the name of my old guild. I already came up with the logo. The logo of the guild will be a red shield with white stripes and 6 stars circling it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- After I woke up, I immediately talked to Mayor Rowald in the dining room. [Oh, you''re awake already? Here have breakfast.] [Thanks. I wanna ask you for a favor.] [Favor? We owe you. Go ahead. Ask for anything.] [I want a bit of Asienodni''s territory.] [For what?] [I wanna establish a guild.] [A guild huh? It''s been a couple of years since a new guild has been established.] [For a guild. You''re gonna need 10.000 sq to 50.000 sq wide land. You see, I can''t do that. You have to ask the king. We''ll go to the palace right away. After breakfast.] [Thanks. I owe you one.] [Really? It''s quite the opposite. Kukuku.] After I ate breakfast, I went to the palace of Asienodni with Mayor Rowald. The palace looks almost the same like Topaz Palace. The color scheme is the only different thing about this palace. The king is a good friend of Mayor Rowald. Mayor Rowald told me that they have a long history. The king is a pretty slim man with white hair. He''s one of those kings who just likes to enjoy life instead of war. [Rowald. What brings you here friend?] [I want to introduce you to a friend of mine. All of you probably knew him. He''s Lantern.] The subjects and guards of the king started whispering to each other. I can hear one of them says "He''s the one that has been rumored, admin." [Quiet, please...So, you''re Lantern? What does "Lantern The Peacekeeper" wants from me?] [Peace-Keeper?] [Yeah Lantern. You have a nickname now. All of the nobles are starting to call you that.] [King. I came here to ask you for a favor. I want 10.000 sq of land. It''s for establishing a guild.] [Lantern The Peacekeeper is establishing a guild? That''s interesting. What will be the name of the guild?] [The name will be Nimda Guild.] [I wish you good luck Peacekeeper. I am granting you 10.000 sq of land.] [Oh, Lantern! You did it! Now you just need members for your guilds. I can collect a couple of player for you.] [No, I will find it myself.] [Again, with the humbleness. Fine. I know you can do it. *whisper* Cause you''re an admin and stuff.] Now, I just need to find a couple of members for the guild. I will need to make an alliance between other guilds to establish a country. This''ll be fun. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ...Near the main gate of Asienodni... [Hold it! State your business!] [Ssssshhhhh....Say no more. You''re dead before you even know it.] [Insolence!] The guard attacked the wizard by throwing his spear to him. The wizard calmly smiles and caught the spear. A menu popped in front of his face. He adjusted something. The wizard threw the spear back to the guard, but with slower speed. The guard just laughs and caught the spear. He didn''t know that the spear was heavily enchanted. When the guards touched spear, he turned to ashes. To be continued...
