Synopsis

My name is Allec Renn, and I was born with ALS.

Even with our modern technology, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cannot be treated or cured. I’ve been bed or chair bound since I was a kid. The advent of Virtual Reality technology has given me a chance for a new life. Or rather dozens of them. Heh.

I’m an avid gamer, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

In the games I could be what I wanted to be, who I wanted to be. A mighty warrior, a powerful spellcaster, the charming rogue. The crafter. The builder. All of those and more have helped to greatly alleviated my problems.

But a new game is coming out; one with the power to change the world. It uses a brand new technology, based around the first ever deep immersion Dive Pod. With it there is no more game lag or graphical limits. It is being heralded as the greatest breakthrough in Virtual Reality technologies since its founding.

And the first and only game for it: Universe Online.

No longer will players be stuck on a single large world to explore. No longer will there a limit to what you can do, what you can be. Fly spaceships between the stars, conquer planets, create custom technology. Mine, Build, Destroy. Explore. Rule.

This is my story, and my path in Universe Online.

The Weirdest Noob

★ 4.26

Arthur Stone

Merkwürdige Dinge geschehen in der Zweiten Welt, einem multinationalen Online-Rollenspiel gigantischer Ausmaße. Auf einmal sind Neutralitätsabkommen und sogar Freundschaften vergessen. Ehemalige Verbündete schleichen wie Wölfe umeinander herum, und bald klirren ihre Schwerter aufeinander, schwirren Pfeile durch die Luft, und magischer Donner grollt über dem Land. Eine weltvergessene, völlig wertlose Mine wird zum Schauplatz erbitterter Kämpfe. Ihre niedergebrannten Ruinen wechseln mehrmals täglich den Besitzer. Jede Straße der Provinz wird kontrolliert. Niemand darf die Städte betreten oder verlassen, ohne seine Identität überprüfen zu lassen. Die Schwachen leiden unter der anhaltenden Gewalt durch Invasoren aus dem Osten, und die Starken...Die Starken setzen alles daran, den Schuldigen zu finden: den seltsamsten Noob, den die virtuelle Welt je gesehen hat.

Stuck in the Game

Christopher Keene

After a terrible car crash puts seventeen-year-old Noah Newbolt into a coma, he is hooked up to the innovative Dream Engine—a virtual reality helmet that immerses the player in an online fantasy game. The Dream Engine keeps Noah’s mind alive while doctors frantically work to heal his body, but his death in the game could result in irreversible brain damage.

While Noah learns to navigate the Dream Game, his girlfriend, Sue, suffers injuries from the same crash. Then the doctors’ attempts to connect her to the game result in her apparent death. When a mysterious avatar drops notes suggesting the last remnants of Sue’s consciousness are being held prisoner in the most dangerous part of the game, Noah takes it upon himself to rescue her.

He allies himself with a group of high-level players to help him in his quest, but his rise through the ranks earns him a bounty. With top players across the world gunning for Noah, can he stay alive--and awake--long enough to save Sue and escape the game?

Re-start

★ 4.16

Dan Sugralinov

At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who’s struggling to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (whenever he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge.

On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player.

Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they’re far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is playing one of the most epic RPG games of all times.

Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life?

Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?
