The story is about a virtual reality game where the male MC was a beta tester for the game. It begins with him selecting a very cold region. Where there are not much players. The village he was at was very small and snow a lot. He intentionally choose this area because of the lack of competition. At some point he heads to the summit of a mountain through the struggle of rain and wind. There is a hammer or something at the top with pulsing lighting. He touches the hammer and gains special powers. He also begins his own village. First he builds a cabin and somehow in a quest saves two female NPCs. which lets him claim the land. Then he builds a large house and purchases NPCs. The quest he gets to save the two girls goes something like they are travelling priestess or something and are capture at the NPC lord’s town because they are so beautiful. One of them escape who encounter the MC who accepts the quest and goes to the village and saves the other Girl. Plus kill the Lord there as the Lord had killed the two girl’s comrades and was a villain. It flashes back to the real world every so often. In on instant it talks about the MC going to this meeting where all the beta testers get together to talk about the game. The main speaker (hosting the meeting) likes the MC. The last chapter I had read has him heading to a town and about the enter a cave or something; having found a party of players to party with… I found this story in Royal Road but for the life of me cannot seem to find it again. I vaguely recall it being called dragon something or thunder something. I cannot recall the sequence of event but the important points are as followed
Virtual Reality Game, village, very cold region... umm.. Legendary Moonlight Sculptor? Just ignore this post
He wrote himself into the story as the MC? This ^ And also are there any reviews, beyond "5/7 great read!" ?
