The Hacker’s Path
In a world where virtual reality feels more real than life itself, one gamer must battle for his freedom—or be lost to the game forever.
Laurence, a lifelong gamer searching for an escape from his monotonous reality, eagerly joins the beta test of a groundbreaking cyberpunk MMORPG. Armed with a cutting-edge VR headband, he’s thrust into a hyper-realistic world where high-tech marvels intertwine with ancient magic, and the line between reality and virtual is dangerously blurred.
Assigned the role of a low-level hacker, Laurence is tasked with completing ten perilous missions, each unlocking new powers and unravelling the secrets of the game’s mysterious world. As he delves deeper, Laurence realises the stakes are far higher than he ever imagined.
As his abilities grow, so does the allure of the digital realm—until Laurence is faced with a life-altering choice: return to reality to play his MMORPGs, and lose everything he’s gained, or stay in the game and risk losing himself forever.
Will Laurence break free from the game’s clutches—or will he be consumed by the digital world that now holds him captive?
For fans of Ready Player One and Neuromancer, this thrilling cyberpunk/litRPG adventure will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page.
