In a world where virtual reality gaming lets players shape their own stories, Nick desperately wants to join the beta test for Omen Galaxica's revolutionary AI update. There's just one catch - he needs a partner who's never played before. Enter his mother Amanda, currently on bedrest during a difficult pregnancy. Together, they must rebuild the destroyed village of Donner's Beck while defending it from a notorious player-killer intent on wreaking havoc. But as virtual and real worlds blur, both Nick and Amanda discover that games aren't just about escape - they're about connection, growth, and finding your place in a rapidly changing world. A heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and finding meaning in unexpected places, perfect for:
- Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z (and boomers who know)
- parents and teens and people in-between
- gamers and people who love but are baffled by people who game
- dragon, AI, and pizza enthusiasts
A pregnant mother joins her teenage son in an AI-expansion-beta of a multiplayer-online-role-playing-game
... What could possibly go wrong? :)
Spoiler: Not toooo much ^^
Still:
There's struggle, there's crisis.
There are epic moments! (... Death by spoon! :D)
Most of the time, though, it's just cozy as if taken from life. (... in a fantastic but down-to-earth way.)
I really liked the book back then on Patreon on the author's homepage, hence the high star rating.
P.S. Addendum to the content:
The story does not only take place Ingame; but it connects the different parties and is the common thread and the main playground in the book.
