Synopsis
Benate is a living AI, but his world isn't anything like our own. Imprisoned inside a learning, procedural game world with bizarre rules, with monsters and escalating dangers, he must survive with his wits and the limited game interface.
But as hard as the challenges which he faces may be, the reward is even greater. Because if Benate can win the game and reach the mythical and mysterious heights of Tier 5, then maybe, just maybe...
He could leave the game world he's trapped in and join the real one.
Now, with the reluctant support of his ex-partner Automatic Moderator, and a blooming and forbidden IRL friendship he has discovered within an ancient TechSupport channel from a bygone age, Benate has a chance to stay a step of the game.
But will his plans survive the danger? Because an unexpected, dark threat is brewing deep within a far away zone. And unless Benate can outwit this deadly foe before its too late, not a single AI player-avatar will be safe.
