Pyresouls Apocalypse

When the virtual reality game Pyresouls could not be beaten, it turned very real, unleashing an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. Years later, Jacob Windsor fights with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth — until an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time offers humanity one last hope. Jacob takes the plunge into the past of Pyresouls, where every player is out for blood and the monsters are more vicious than anything on Post-Collapse Earth. Armed with future knowledge and years of battle experience, he has every advantage — but the choices he makes could darken the timeline even further.

The tutorial is over and the rules of Pyresouls have changed for the worse. Defeating the Burgon Beast should have ended things, but it was only the beginning — the future Jacob has seen is devoid of all life but a single Pyre, and beating the next boss will only stave off the Collapse, not prevent it. Back in the past, the Gnawing Hunger roams free, monsters run unchecked, and otherworldly beings pull strings behind Pyresouls, twisting every challenge Jacob faces. Trapped between two timelines and haunted by a second life he cannot remember, he must uncover the dark truth behind Pyresouls before the future becomes a grave.
