Getting Hard (Rise of a Tank)

Herald Stone always built tank characters in every MMORPG he played. To be unkillable—that was his first Goal, a simple childhood dream. However, the turbulent realities of life put an end to his gaming days.

Years passed, and Herald Stone, now having attained success and stability, was presented with the opportunity to redeem himself...to fulfill his first Goal. Trivial? Childish? Others might think so. But Herald Stone always fulfilled his Goals—every single one. No matter what. Immortality beckoned in Mother Core Online, and this time Herald Stone would answer.

Choosing a long-forgotten race, hidden away in an unknown region, the rise of an immortal tank begins. This is the tale of Herald Stone Getting Hard.

After five years of hiatus, I revived one of my original stories published on RoyalRoad. For those not familiar with the original, the main character here is far from the typical in LitRPGs, or web novels as a whole. This is an intentional experiment as a drastic breakaway from the norms.

Also expect a different take on the LitRPG system, including strategies involving skill builds and synergies that steadily become more complex while remaining understandable and do not involve heavy use of numbers. Aspects of the real world are also shown, such as the evolving technology, how the VR world affects society, and the like. 

Although this is under VRMMORPG, a sub-genre of LitRPG that seems to have fallen out of trend at present, this story couldn't work if it was in any other setting. This is a very different, yet somehow familiar LitRPG novel.   

Cover by me, when I still knew how to draw years ago.
