Sludge Knight

Classic Hardcore. Real Life Death. They said MMOs were dying out, but they were just missing one horrific ingredient...  Welcome to a world of endless war; dungeons, monsters, and perma-death, streamed live to a doom-crawling future where cruelty is currency and survival is pure entertainment. Players risk their real lives for obscene wealth. Chat screams for endless blood. Billionaire tech-feudalists rule the game as gods with stock portfolios.  But they didn't account for something going terribly, terribly wrong.  Deep in the filth of a backwater bog, the long forgotten bones of a dead, glitched-out mage rotted into the mud…  ...and the mud woke up. As player-driven kingdoms butcher each other for views, coins, and clout, SLUDGE crawls, slithers, then shambles its way toward sentience—learning to wear flesh like armour and wield stolen souls like steel... …to become the KNIGHT they need to tear it all down.  [*SLUDGE KNIGHT will see new episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday. Volume 2 will resume in early May.]
