Clay is running out of options. He can sit back and let the ZERO virus kill him or he can make the gamble of a lifetime.
The world’s most advanced virtual reality video game, Arcane Kingdom Online, is now accepting new players in a one-way ticket to digital reincarnation. But here’s the catch: the process isn’t guaranteed.
Worse, the game is buggy beyond belief, and a patch is far from done.
Even worse than worse, no one has seen the game’s creator in years.
So yeah: the odds aren’t great. But if the alternative is mutating into a mindless flesh-eater on an increasingly depopulated Earth, might as well give the game option a try, right?
