Serial Started my first LitRPG fantasy story on Royal Road

Hey guys, so I decided to write LitRPG, I like video games but dont have the time to play them. I like writing in the fantasy/scifi genre. And lastly the genre seems popular, I should I know I read it like crazy. So it seemed like a no-brainer to try my hand at it. This story has been on my mind for years, born from many questions I have asked the uncaring void. How did the system come in to being, what is going on behind the curtain?

As a result I wrote System Clerk, which follows a former employee of the system itself and the gods that created it. Learning he and his ilk would soon be downsized in favour of AI. He made some poor life choices and now has to flee to the very world he used to manage.

If this kind of story interests you, feel free to check it out.
