Description

Technicallyabandoned. I will be reposting an updated version of the story one chapter at a time.

When the System came to Earth, it changed everything.

It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike.

What had once been fantasy was now a reality.

People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest.

"Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation"

It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers.

Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars.

All it asked of them was for their help.

Help with what though?

The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard.

On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary.

That this was the day everything changed.

Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world.

However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, theTutorial.

(Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.)

A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find.

Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system.

Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!...

With the system's arrival so too does great danger come...

The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system...

Please note, I don't own the art.

Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you.

This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.

Honestly its a really great system and story that pulls in a lot of great stuff from across the internet. But the problem is it is moving way too fast. He's been in the system less than a week at this point and has already done so much and gotten so many absolutely broken skills and spells for very little work or sacrifice. This has led to character development in general to fall by the wayside and made everything feel kind of undeserved. Add on the fact he doesn't need to be moving that fast because time dilation is already in effect and it kind of ruins things. Honestly I would recommend a rewrite or at least add chapters between each of the current ones where the character does more average stuff while heavily training skills and exploring the dungeons.
For the purpose of the advanced review requirements the grammar is fine with only a handful of typos here and there.
The mc has barely ok character development but everyone else has next to no character.
Style is great as the status screens and general system are good but like I said the story itself is too fast paced which ruins thing.

The idea for the story has a lot of potential. But it really does seem like how the story has been executed is lacking. This system is interactive and intelligent. That opens up so many doors to interesting ventures. But the story is both dragged out and rushed. We're on what? Day 4 of the tutorial and he helped found a church? It's okay to do things over larger timeframes. He Who Fights With Monsters did not take place over a month or even six. We lost whole weeks to time skips because those times did not need to be shown, only known that they happened to some extent.
