Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.
The rules regarding NSFW links have been updated. See here for details.

A New Lifetime in a VRMMO

BY wdango

Kayaba Akihiko lost everything, long before the deathgame ever began. His wife. His unborn daughter. And on launch day, even his memories.

Now stranded as just another player inside his own VRMMO deathgame, Kayaba doesn't remember his past, or the impossible weight of what he had to carry. What remains is only a quiet ache, and a world full of people he has yet to meet.

In forgetting who he was, he gains the chance to become someone new. As he navigates the world of Midgard Online, he slowly relearns the simple joys of life, through small but genuine connections with the people around him.

What does joy look like in a world like this? Will Kayaba ever regain his memories? And will he ever have to face his past, or the consequences of his sins?

A cozy comfort piece.
