Previously on Emberstone Farm…
It all started with Adventure Incarnate. Originally a simple multiplayer farming game, it was bought by a Chinese video game company who turned it into a full-fledged MMORPG with Eastern-flavored fantasy martial arts on top of the original core farming mechanics.
Violet, a veteran player, was chatting with her old friend in the game, GodIAm, when he offered to let her log into his hacked Adventure Incarnate character. GodIAm claimed to have duplicated every useful or valuable item in the game.
The moment she logged into the game on GodIAm’s character, she was transported into the world of Adventure Incarnate that had somehow become real.
Fortunately, she had 2,147,483,647 of every item she could ever need. However, many items could only be used by a player of the appropriate level and she started off as level 1 in all skills. The items she produced herself were tradeable, but the ones GodIAm had duplicated were not.
Armed with a mysterious System, Violet set out to build her farm in the western continent ruled by the White Tiger clan.
The world of Adventure Incarnate was large and multicultural. The original game was vaguely medieval fantasy Europe, but there had been several expansions since then. The continent Violet was transmigrated to was based on the Chinese legend of the Four Auspicious Beasts - the Azure Dragon of the East, the Vermilion Bird of the South, the White Tiger of the West, and the Black Tortoise of the North. There was a fifth, central area, but that game expansion hadn’t been released in Adventure Incarnate yet.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
The people in the White Tiger clan’s territory had Asian-sounding names, and the food, clothing, language, and architecture were Chinese-inspired.
She recruited several people to help her out: three farm hands named Lari, Kharli, and Mo, who share her access to the System. She also hired staff to run her household. Fengying, her housekeeper, is married to Deming, a celebrated maestro in the kitchen who is also called the Demon Chef because of his fiery passion for the culinary arts.
Her life is simple and satisfying, and she enjoys her recurrent dreams of a cute blue dragon who calls her "Mom."
Violet regards the local warlord, Shuye, as her Farm Guide, the friendly local leader who helps the farmer in Adventure Incarnate with settling in and selling her crops and other items.
Throughout the two years she has been farming, Shuye has been shocked by the many strange things that happen around her and Emberstone Farm.
Her odd but extremely powerful abilities are greatly valued by the White Tiger clan, and the farm’s products are highly sought after, especially the pill she made that cured the clan member's fertility problem.
She saved Prince Baiyu, the only child of the ruler of the Westerlands, from a chronic illness, and they are currently dating.
She has a second farm in the southern part of the continent, which is partly desert. There, she and her three apprentices practice regenerative farming. A secret portal in her living room connects her to the Chitinous Caverns, also called the Mines.
An upcoming World Event is the battle with the Demon Boss.
