Synopsis
It is the year 2124 and the world has changed. Natural disasters and wars, but also advancements in sciences and arts. Still, even though things change, their core aspects are often the same. Entertainment is no exception.
A good example would be Project Revelations by DEM Entertainment, the RPG to end all other RPGs. Using the most advanced technology available to man, Full Immersion Sarcophagus, PR isn't simply another game but a whole new world—one with its own races, cultures, languages, and religions. A whole new world to explore.
They have decided to remind everyone what 'RP' in 'RPG' stands for, making it clear their greatest focus was on players' ability to roleplay their characters, whatever they may be. And people love them.
Dariusz Zargar, Commonwealth's resident of Iranian descent, is one such person. With love for RPGs and any roleplays fostered by both of his parents, he couldn't stay idle, awaiting the moment of PR's release. But when it turned out one of the possible methods of character's creation was whatever the player imagined, not bound by the rules of this new world…
“And I do mean anything. As long as both Grand Director and I deem it interesting enough, it’s fair play. So, go wild.”
How could he resist that? And if everything is possible, why not make his ancestors proud? It certainly would be unique.
…although, in hindsight making his character a follower of an ancient Iranian religion maybe, just maybe, wasn't his brightest idea.

First Web Novel ever, yay.
So, what can you expect from this work? Well, worldbuilding for one. That includes races, history, languages, religion etc. etc. often based on/inspired by some of the more obscure mythologies/cultures, most notably Zoroastrianism and Slavs though not only.
As far as Characterization goes, I'll try to keep it real. So no romance unless it makes sense, harems are almost certainly not a possibility because of how difficult it is to write a good one etc. Also, don't expect MC to suddenly start killing everyone and feel completely unaffected after; that's not how any of this work. Does it really matter it's a game if everything feels so real?
