Citizens go dormant for years at a time — minds uploaded, bodies suspended — while a cosmic horror called the Maw drifts closer, a vacuum of existential void destined to consume everything. Roland Kurt, desperate for a life that feels real, logs into Dens and Wyverns, a virtual sandbox. When a mysterious entity begins shattering the game's boundaries, Roland is thrust into the role of defender, navigating a glitching world alongside a reckless young powerhouse and a scholar. As the line between simulation and reality blurs, Roland uncovers that the dangers leaking into the sandbox are aimed at the very soul of humanity.

Given the opportunity to enter Tempest Online as the warrior Abalonious, he finds a dream come true — until a simple quest spirals out of control and he and his companions discover they are unwittingly caught in a battle between dark gods and the forces of light.

With his virtual existence on the line, he and his allies must put everything at risk to prevent the catastrophic collapse of the simulation they now call home.
