Status unknown2021
At the end of his life, retired veteran Charles has spent his twilight years watching old movies and waiting for his grandkids to call. When his old friend introduces him to Crossroads, a groundbreaking VR world, Charles discovers he can move without pain and — most importantly — spend time with his family again. His solution: build something in the game worth visiting. Armed with a magic staff of inexplicable power, Charles sets off to find a place to call his own, accidentally becoming an NPC quest-giver, the villain of epic storylines, and an unlikely patriarch in a virtual world that might fill the emptiness of his real one.
