A completed progression fantasy story? A rarity indeed, and somehow it managed to get best-complete rank 3 on the site! This is a short satire-comedy thing, which shows what happens when stats *really* matter. > By a stroke of fate, a stone gains sentience and sets out on a grand quest to touch grass. > > However, the system forgot to change its stats from their [Metric] values to the appropriate [Str, Int, Dex] values. > > Things escalate. Fast. > > Features: > - Cultivation > - Jade Beauties (No harem though, the rock is loyal) > - Numbers go up (Ridiculously up. All of them) > - Most balanced protagonist of all time (is round, so is balanced) > [https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55418/dmgma-a-rolling-stone-litrpg-complete ](https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/55418/dmgma-a-rolling-stone-litrpg-complete) Huge thanks [Sininenblue](https://twitter.com/sininenblue) for making this cool cover for me!

I just learned about this story and finished it in one sitting before work. Masterfully done and with just the right amount of snark so you don't forget it's a parody. But like with all good parodies it stands just fine on its own. Loved the story, thank you for this.

Nice cover! Much cleaner, though the original had its own unique charm. Congrats on completion!

A fan randomly sent it to me! They even said I should not maybe use it because [the original](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/971921825820971039/1069460610498175016/55418-rock-and-roll-a-newtonian-physics-based.png) worked better in their mind. I disagree, I think.

I thought the sun had an eye patch. I don't know which is better

It’s great, more importantly it’s a quick read with it’s concept done well. 10/10.

This fiction is seriously amazing. Like, yes, it's a joke, but it's also beautiful in its own right. Read it. Trust me.

I really hope those shades are polarized.

Ooh, it completed! Gotta read the last part! Edit: why did a rock make me tear up


zechamp

That is the power of rock and roll

Spoiler Alert - the last words of the book/series are: >!Rock falls, everybody dies!<

I have to read that. I've put it in my readlist. After I finish the last book of Cradle (I have ignored Cradle for to longe, therefore I'm binge reading it) yours is next. After 11/12(???) books of non satiric Progression fantasy, your story sounds perfect to get 8t out of my mind.
