Genesis Online

Kevin was a young man enjoying college life when a car left him unable to walk. Convinced by his best friend to play Genesis Online — a game where a revolutionary AI adapts the world to player actions — he is soon lured by the prospect of earning real money. But he quickly runs afoul of a player determined to control as much of Genesis as possible. Kevin must recruit other disenfranchised players to stop him.

Genesis Online has added land ownership and settlement-building. Using gold earned in his last adventure, Kevin buys a plot of land with dreams of building a town that will help him afford a neural interface for his recovery. But other players — inside his guild and out — have their own plans, and he must work to prevent theft of his supplies while also dealing with guild members who threaten to undermine everything.

An old enemy has claimed a magic lamp and used it to add siege mechanics to Genesis Online — rival guilds can now declare war and attack each other's cities. If the attackers win, they take ownership of the defeated settlement. With few details on how the new system works, Kevin must build defenses, train with his guild, and recruit allies to protect the town of Prosperity from an enemy determined to get revenge.
