Three days ago, Jack Mitchel saved his life. By dying.

He dodged a world-ending bullet—in the form of an extinction-level asteroid cannonballing toward Earth—by successfully uploading his mind into the brand new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. Unfortunately, he’s also stumbled headlong into a secret conspiracy to sell off virtual real-estate to the ultra-wealthy, transforming V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age.

Stolen novel; please report.

Jack expected to live out his new fantasy life in peace, but now he and his misfit-crew of rebels are the only ones standing in the way of a Tyrant-Emperor and his regime from taking power. If Jack’s going to game the system and protect his friends from these rising threats, he’ll need to make some shady allies, develop his formidable Shadowmancer powers, raid some ridiculous dungeons, and embrace the aid of a morally-questionable In-Game Goddess. Thankfully, everything isn’t quite as hopeless as it seems—Jack has a plan. Sort of. With only a handful of supporters, he’s going to get the jump on the bloodthirsty Empire by snatching one of their key cities right from underneath their noses … Well, he’s going to try.
