After you play my roguelike, you can turn your LitRPG adventure into narrative form…
I’m keeping a log of everything that happens in the game then feeding it to GPT-4 to generate a narrative. Still very early days, but it looks promising to take LitRPG to the next level…
Subterranean Gardens of the Verdant Exile
Alex awoke with a start, disoriented and puzzled by the Subterranean Gardens of the Verdant Exile. Enveloped by the vibrant flora, he tried to recollect his past events, but his memory remained clouded. Piquing his curiosity, he began his exploration, trusting his instincts and relying on the lessons engraved within him from the preceding chapters of the LitRPG saga.
Within moments, he discovered a Potion of Spirits and a Healing Potion, neatly placed beside a copy of LitRPG Audiobook Chapter 6 and a clump of Wizard Weed. As he gathered these valuable items, Alex felt a deep connection to the celebrated heroes that walked before him in similar tales.
Moving carefully into the Library of Lost Souls, the staggering enormity of the chamber was mesmerizing. As Alex’s eyes darted through the dust-covered shelves, he imagined each tome resonating with forgotten knowledge, waiting to be rediscovered. He marveled at the esoteric symbols adorning the books, chills creeping up his spine as an unseen voice echoed through the infinite, engulfing darkness.

As he journeyed through increasingly enigmatic rooms, Alex’s keen intellect and dexterity allowed him to navigate and overcome the ominous environments that attempted to curtail his progress. The singing voices in the Feywild Garden—a mournful testament to generations of lost souls—both haunted and inspired him. He allowed himself a moment to pause and reflect on the intangible beauty of the scene.
Subsequently, he cautiously entered the lair of a long-ago vanquished lich. As the dank, foreboding stench of decay permeated Alex’s senses, he felt a relentless, ethereal gaze on him. A sense of unease accompanied his every step, but the tales of prior adventurers emboldened him to continue.

His triumphant victories against formidable foes—Gloom Gakis and Luminescent Lurkers alike—proved both his mettle and his gritty determination, advancing him to Level 2. With each subsequent encounter, Alex continued to strengthen his abilities and adapt to the ever-changing challenges that faced him.
Despite the foreboding atmosphere of the chambers, filled with whispers, scratching noises, and ethereal echoes, Alex refused to give in to fear. In the treasure chamber, he thought carefully before reaping the rewards, mindful of the luring dangers. The richness of the world he traversed unfolded before him, his heart brimming with the boundless potential that awaited.

Adorned with the experiences of countless adventurers who undertook similar tales, Alex faced the final challenge with a pounding heart. Mustering up every ounce of courage, he chose to approach the powerful wizard in the sanctum with humbleness instead of hostility.
As he stepped back into the sunlit world above, the tales of his daring exploits would forevermore be woven into the annals of LitRPG history. And though his hands were now empty and his HP dwindled to a mere sliver, Alex emerged from the depths of the Subterranean Gardens not defeated, but renewed. He had forged his own legend, and the saga continued. ---- Above generated from game logs… ROOM 3 (Big, Strange, Wizard’s Sanctum)
You step into a large, irregularly-shaped room that seems to be the sanctum of a powerful wizard. The walls are strange, with oddly-shaped angles and jutting out corners that seem almost like they were constructed by magic rather than by normal means. It’s dark in here, the only light coming from flickering torches mounted on the walls. As you enter, you hear the sounds of singing coming from somewhere deep within the room, and you can’t help but be a little frightened by the strange noises that seem to be emanating from all around you. As your eyes adjust to the dim light, you notice a fancy painting hanging on one wall, depicting a group of adventurers facing off against a powerful dragon. The painting seems to shimmer and move slightly, as if it’s almost alive. You can’t help but wonder if it’s enchanted in some way. Suddenly, the singing stops and you hear a deep, menacing voice coming from somewhere in the room. “Who dares to enter my sanctum?” the voice booms. “Identify yourselves, or face the consequences!” You can feel your heart racing as you try to come up with a response. What will you say to this powerful wizard?
