Log-in or die.

Those are the only choices left for Clay Hopewell. Contaminated with the ZERO virus, he offers significantly less than twenty-four hours before he bites the dirt. With no cure available, there’s only 1 option left: digitally reincarnate himself in the most advanced virtual reality game ever, the mysterious and newly released Arcane Kingdom Online.

But cheating death and gaining immortality isn’t that simple. If Clay survives the risky cognitive upload procedure, he’ll still have to contend with a dream world teetering on the brink of problems. Worse, a quarter of the in-game inhabitants hates his beginning race, he can’t unlock the mage course he wants, and a malevolent glitch threatens to upend the very living of his brand-new reality.

If Clay doesn’t learn the guidelines of his fresh environment quickly, his second possibility at life is a lot even worse than his initial.
