When Ethan Connelly, god gamer, is invited to the Project Aeon beta program, he is over the moon. The latest and greatest next-gen MMO powered by the world’s most advanced adaptive AI game engine to create an immersive neural network experience? Sign him the heck up.
But the game is harder than he bargained for when he realizes that other players have a headstart and his Battle Magus abilities are limited by his miniscule mana pool. He can’t compete with the established mages at their own game of giant mana fueled sorceries, he needs to find an edge.
He needs a game-breaking build.
Something that can close the gap between their Firestorm Infernos and his simple Magic Missile. And find it he will, because Ethan was built for this.
But what if his build breaks more than the other players’ advantage? What if it actually does break the game? What will the game’s AI do to stop Ethan?
Which will break first: the game or Ethan’s mind?
Genre: Fantasy
