Synopsis

Matt Kelsey was an accountant who hated his job—until aliens accidentally destroyed the Earth and scanned a million humans into an MMO. Join Matt as he journeys through the mish-mash of an Earth starter-zone, makes new friends, discovers he hates squirrels, and almost dies a bunch. At the mercy of the owners of host servers and Continuance patents, will humanity survive, thrive, get deleted? There’s a big digital universe out there—if Matt, and whoever else is left, are allowed to join. PS - There’s a guy who got turned into a cat and a girl who tames a pet beaver (yes, there are jokes). What to expect- A main character who isn’t instantly powerful or an expert gamer—good thing he has a party - POVs: 85% Matt; 15% Lars or Sharkie (and one chapter from Kurtis) - Hitchhiker’s Guide and DCC vibes at times, can get silly/absurd and has sprinkles of references (the AI built the zone in a hurry using Earth's internet) - Warning: Characters can die (at least one does), despite the AI naming one of their skills “Plot Armor” and the digital environment - Branching classes/magic system, class specialization (evolution) midway - No stat sheets/boxes, in-line stats as is plot-relevant Update (Oct 31, 2024): After significant edits, incorporating your feedback as well as that from several rounds of beta readers, this story is headed to publication at the start of the new year.
