Sebastian is just a fifteen year old boy trying to pass his GCSEs. When his best friends Alister and Sophia sign the three of them up to beta test a new gaming system that is supposed to be more advanced than VR itself, Sebastian couldn't be more excited. But the three of them find that this new gaming technologyis more than just VR. The three of them are frozen in time, with machines that have transported them into a medieval MMORPG. Oh, there's also another thing: if you die in the game, you die in real life. Uploading twice a week: Tuesdays and Fridays.
