Description

It is the Future. The realm of online video game entertainment has grown, creating vast and wonderous worlds for people to explore and enjoy. This is the story of Kaleb, a young gamer, and his adventures in the latest Super-Hero Virtual reality MMO: Modern Age Online. Join him as he takes on villains (both player and NPC), joins forces with other player heroes, and even deals with some of the bureaucracy of being a hero in a perfect virtual recreation of the world. No cheats, no guides, just one newbie Super-Hero against the forces of villainy in his new virtual home. Notes: 1.) While not my first time writing, this is my first time throwing anything I've written at the tender mercies of the internet. All criticisms welcome. 2.) Just to inform people early: There is no evil corporation looking to control the world with VR, there is no Krueger-esque "if you die in the game, you die for real.", and this isn't a story of some OP harem-loving god of the system. Nothing wrong with those stories this just isn't one. This is a simple story about a guy playing a game and finally 3.) This story is extremely rough, i did very little editing, this is just me gauging interest really. oh, and English is my 1st language, if for some reason you find that important. Thank you to everyone. (Book Two on Amazonhere) (Book Three on AmazonHere) Both books should be available through Kindle Unlimited.

  • So far good, the author keeps it based kind on in reality of superheroes and everyone don’t just have the mc being mostly lizard as background information as the story goes on I will add more.

  • This is by far the best videogame story I've ever read. It's far and away from stories like SAO. His regualar releases boggle the mind, and his characters are diverse and fun. His system is well thought out, and I find his lack of a blue-box to be refreshin…

    Modern Age Online has motivated and inspired me to start writing again, and maybe become a RRL author.
    My one gripe is that Kaleb is a little too lucky (both good and bad), but it isn't annoying enough for me to take away anything from my 5 stars .

    Modern Age On Line is a great game/story that consistently keeps growing, with a good pace of action, crafting, char development, world building and story telling.
    I like it so much that sometimes I wish we could play this game IRL. I could lead a gang using some shady business real easily. Hell yeah!
    (Update at chapter 91)
    Story keeps growing steadily taking us to new directions we didn't considered before and it feels great. New characters come and go while old friends still having a great part in the fun.
    All we know for sure is that we will enjoy every part of it. Cheers!

    Though the synopsis might not sell the story to you in to much detail so I'll sell the story for it.
    It's great. Read it now. Doesn't have a hundred chapters, doesn't need to. The tiny amount of mistakes in grammar it may have are a blip in how good this story is.
    Never have I seen a plot like this, yes it's a VR story and there are a hundred and one different story's you can compare it to, but I promise it being a VR are were the similarities stop.
    The main character isnt invisible yet he can still kick ass is probably what sells it for me as Well as it being extremely detailed and realistic( as realistic as a fantasy superhero story can be).
    It doesn't rip of superhero movies or comics it has its own thing going for it, though it does have Easter egg characters like the jellyfish in the chapter "the room that stops the party".
    please read this story, I just started reading it and I'm already hooked and dying for the next chapter, I believe this story deserves a ton more attention then it has.

    This story is just... fun.
    Nice, relaxing, fun.
    It’s about this guy named Kaleb who starts playing a new VR game called Modern Age which is about Superheroes and stuff and pretty much just tries to have fun.
    Like any Gamer should really.
    That’s pretty much the plot.
    Is it weird that this is like, the first of this kind of story I’ve read where the game immediately doesn’t turn out completely FUBAR?
    None of that kind of stuff here.
    So far at least.

    Rather then go on for paragraphs and paragraphs about how good this story is I'll go in the opposite direction. The grammar is decent but I occasionally run into misplaced or missing words that can sometimes confuse me for a second.
    That's it.
    No really. That's the only negative thing I can find in this story. Everything is fantastic except for that one niggling detail. If you are looking for a super hero story, then you MUST read this. Hell, even if you AREN'T looking for a super hero story, you should still read this!
    I picked up this story from recent posts on a whim! Don't let a whim stop you from reading this! Read it! Now!
    Oh, and a note to Mr. Author since I'm sure you'll read this... PLEASE POST MORE CHAPTERS! I NEED TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!!!

    A nice surprise to find another hidden gem on the site. Nice concept, pace and humour.
    Light hearted, funny and decent world building alongside strong crafting and occasional punch ups left me binge reading.
    Another one eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

    This is a fun and interesting story with good humor and a very refreshing and interesting take on litrpg. The character and world building is excellent as well and is not a thin veneer nor too much frosting on a cake (yay mixed metaphors). Do yourself a favor and read this and get it to the front page.
