Escapism is not just about running away from reality; rather, it's about creating a better, more tolerable reality. *** Alex Buolin has dreamt of being a protagonist ever since he watched the Japanese show Blade Art Online. Though if you were to ask him, he wouldn't be able to give a simple, definite reason as to why he does so. B.A.O. was a show about people being trapped in the VR game they were playing—a show filled with action, adventure, and characters that Alex fell in love with. Inspired by the premise of Blade Art Online, Alex created his very own VR game: Holyug Online. Except, instead of being unwillingly trapped by the Game Master, he himself is the Game Master. And on the day of the official launch, he took the major step—an irreversible move that'd influence many people in their respective ways. Ding!

(not BL) • Progression. • Strong MC, but not THAT overpowered. • Tower climbing with each floor having a challenge of its own. • Fantasy world with a game-like setting...obviously, because the story technically takes place inside a game. • Interesting guild politics. • Adventure genre in future chapters. (around ch. 150–300) • Some memorable but not quite lovable characters.(of course, it depends on the reader) • Enjoyable action scenes as well as a simple yet unique power system. • The first two chapters may be a bit slow, but please—it gets better. *** Warning: This novel contains sensitive topics that might be uncomfortable for some readers. I'll try my best to use these topics for storytelling purposes only, but caution is still advised. Also, quick P.S.: My naming sense kinda sucks.

In plain terms, I can pull out a one-yuan coin anytime I want… and throw it. “You’re provoking me?” The Earthsplitter mugger blocking the road stared at the suspicious hooded guy in front of him—who had just fished a single coin out of his pocket, like he was tossing spare change to a beggar, and casually flicked it onto the ground.

From that moment on, there was no “talking it out”—only hostility. “I’m screwed… I think I’m about to die. (-_-)”
