Preface

Hello! I’d just like to quickly preface this by saying that while the Portal Fantasy/Isekai tag is there, this story is only technically a Portal Fantasy (notice how there is no Reincarnation tag). In fact, I’d say it’s a Portal Fantasy with a double technicality. A Portal Fantasy**, if you will.

Nevertheless, I do hope you check it out. And if you didn’t know, this is my first time writing a LitRPG, and my second ever story. It’s inspired by the first Web Novel I read, Kumo Desu Ga, Nani Ka?, as well as others I really liked like Apotheosis of a Demon, The Wandering Inn, and Azarinth Healer.

This story is very slow paced at the start, but I assure you, it does progress! I hope you read it at least until it gets going! Anyway, that’s enough rambling from me, I hope you enjoy it!

“The Devil will play his tricks on the fools, and the Beast shall once again feast upon the weak that invade its lands. All will be destruction. All will be death. They will learn quickly that there is only hell.”

The first of the black raindrops fell from the sky, the precipitation wetting the barren lands with life, yet corrupting the pure, white surface into a dark ooze.
