Man Made God

Game on! Ever since various world governments signed the World War III Armistice, the virtual world has become even more important than the real world. Adam does not care for the virtual world. His only concern is curing his terminally ill lover, but with Aris on the verge of death, he is running out of time and hope. When a woman called Fayte comes knocking on his door with a proposal, he is all too happy to accommodate her. She will cure Aris of her supposedly incurable disease with experimental technology that has never been tested.

Game on! Adam is the first person to reach level 10 and leave the Village of Beginnings, but before he can even reach the Sun Continent, the vessel he’s on is attacked by pirates! Age of Gods continues to be the most realistic game he has ever played. Nothing about it is like the old VR games of yesteryear, and he isn’t just talking about how oddly real the non-player characters act.

Aris has come out of cryosleep. She begins her rehabilitation IRL and also begins playing Age of Gods. While she is leveling up to leave the Village of Beginnings, Adam and his party enter the ruins of a magic academy destroyed in ages past. Their goal is to find a hidden class for Fayte. But climbing floor by floor through the ruins of the Magic Academy is a far more arduous task than any of them could have realized. The closer they get to the top, the stronger their enemies become, and what they find after reaching the end may not be a hidden class at all.
