OVR World Online

In the bleak not-too-distant future, most people have fled online to OVR World Online. Zachary 'Zee' Jones could never afford to become a player — until he was arrested for a crime he committed to save his mother's life and included in the Inmate Player Program. Jacked into Gygax, a high fantasy game world filled with knights, magic, and monsters, Zee quickly learns that just because the world is virtual doesn't mean the danger isn't real. Can he find his fortune, forge allies, and unravel the mystery behind the game's confounding sentient AI called the Doctor?

Zee and his friends didn't expect that after surviving the recovery of the legendary First Player's Sword, OVR World Online would announce it to the whole world. It's a powerful one-of-a-kind item that everyone wants. To make matters worse, they've reached Level 5 and must depart the Orientation Zone — and outside the OZ, Player-vs-Player combat isn't just allowed, it's encouraged. As high-level bounties start to be posted, Zee quickly realizes it won't take much for him to be knocked down and have the Sword ripped away.
