Welcome to Night City
(2024)(The first book in the Revenant Online series)
A novel by Michael Anderle and Bradford Bates
Alex was a gamer.
Gaming wasn’t just a lifestyle. The essence of his favorite hobby was woven into his DNA. At least, that is what his parents liked to say after he pulled an all-night slaughterfest. The hordes of Morlock never saw him coming. What his parents didn’t understand was playing games was Alex’s chance to be the hero.
Gaming was his opportunity to be adventurous without taking risks.
Back in reality, Alex always felt like a different person. He wasn’t the kind of guy who could pull off heroics. He was more likely to end up on the ground with a bruise shaped like Randy’s fist than strike up a conversation with a member of the opposite sex. A problem Alex never seemed to have behind the keyboard.
The release of Revenant Online was going to change everything
Revenant Online wasn’t just a video game. The new system was more like submersive reality. In essence, Alex would become his avatar. Revenant Online would allow him to experience being the hero he always dreamed of. He wouldn’t be clicking his way through fights with his favorite mechanical keyboard. For the first time, Alex would be fighting the battles himself.
Will Revenant Online be what Alex needs to break free from his shell, or just another opportunity to hide from reality?
Genre: GameLit
