How to write an effective opening line for a story?

------------ Check out my new LitRPG, VR novel, Paragon Online! ------------ Athena, Zeus, Aphrodite, Hermes... These were all figures Alex only ever saw in books and status, so HOW are they now his neighbors?! Alex was a very ordinary young adult, stressing out about his financial situation and desperately trying to make ends meet. While awaiting his gig money deposit, he stumbled upon an email about a certain 'God Recruitment for the Pantheon!!'. He responded to the email to kill off his boredom and satisfy his inner otaku! "We're going to the Underworld?!" Chosen by Hermes to become a god himself, Alex has to navigate his new immortal self and find his place in the pantheon! This is an alternate Olympus, and the plot sometimes takes precedence over sticking completely to original myths. This book is an adaptation of Greek mythology, and for those who don't know much about it, don't worry, everything is explained as the plot progresses!

A god is bored. This is never a good thing, especially if you are chosen to relieve that boredom. Two people that argue over a fan-fiction are selected to enter a world this god created and prove their arguments by living them! One, a male that realizes that this brutal world is a chance to live out his desires, the other, a female that holds up Earth's values and morals, believing that just because the world changes, a person does not change their personality. This story follows the male's point of view.

Also, this is a work of fiction. Names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are either the products of the author's imagination or used in a fictitious manner. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.

# SPIRITENERGY #RELAXED #GODDESS “Lin Changan, you don’t want to get forced to marry a person, right?” a gorgeous young lady asked as she put a Slave Contract in front of Lin Changan. Lin Changan was in complete desperation when he received the Emulator System which allowed him to simulate his life. After each simulation, he could choose to either gain a talent, a realm, battle experience, cultivation, or part of the memory from the simulation. “You have rejected the Slave Contract and were killed in the Underground City by a love rival.” “You have chosen the talent, Live a Hard Life.” “At age 22, your sick junior confessed her love to you and you rejected her. That made her hate you and she poisoned you to death.” “You have chosen the talent, Complete Poison Immunity.” “At age 24, you were killed during the monsters’ attack.” “You have chosen the realm and have gathered the Star Power.” “At age 24, you fought the monsters’ attack as a general but still died in the end.” “You have chosen the talent, Restlessness.” “At age 24, you fought the monsters in the front line but you have exhausted your spirit energy…” After countless simulations, even the slightest move Lin Changan made could shake the entire world. “Simulation begins.” “You are now invincible.”

Power, Power, Power. Everyone wants it. No one wants to lose it. It corrupts, It performs miracles. It causes untold devastation. Power, the aim of all madmen. The thing that allows them to enable their impetus. I want power, and with where I'm going, I'll need it to ensure my survival, after all there's much of it up for the taking.

A story about a guy who gets 3 wishes and reincarnates in Legend of Korra as an earthbender prodigy. I always wanted to write fanfiction and the idea for this story kept popping up in my head so here we are. My main goal right now is to upload a chapter at least once a week and that becomes a lot harder when English isn't my first language. Besides that please be gentle with me as actually posting this took a lot of courage for me. I own nothing besides the OC.

Fate, the world's first true virtual MMO. Where realism and fantasy meet. And where fates are shaped and legends are born. Hurricane is a famous game studio, but it has been years since they last released a new game. Amidst dwindling sales and news articles discussing its fate, Hurricane holds a press conference in the main auditorium at G3, the world's largest gaming convention for the first time in years. Here they announce that after almost a decade of silence, their new game is finally ready to be revealed. Follow as one of the greatest guilds of Fate is born, watch as new players burst onto the scene and old legends re-emerge. Come experience the world of Fate! ----------------------------------- Release rate: 3 Chapters a week. I'll do some extra chapters if we hit top 50 or higher. Probably. Scheduled releases on: Mon, Wed, Sat. More chapters may come if I get enough patrons on patreon. I may also be generous and simply release extra chapters if I feel like it. But don't expect that too often ;) ----------------------------------- This novel is primarily about gaming in a VRMMO. The MMO is the main setting of the story. There will not be unnecessary drama in real life. There will not be weird subplots about the implications of VR technology. This is a novel about an MMO setting and I plan to keep it that way. Do be warned that the first ten chapters of vol1 (Fate Revealed) is almost entirely worldbuilding and character development. Hopefully everyone can enjoy the first volume all the same! ----------------------------------- Please review and support the novel! I plan to do my best to keep the quality high ^.^ (And if you could donate, I can spend even more time on the novel and less working on other things :shamelessplug:) Discord: https://discord.gg/9Xrp5H3 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thegameslighthouse ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/lighthouse
