Hollowed World
In the near future, a revolutionary new VR game, Hollowed Worlds Online, blurs the line between reality and the digital realm. But when players discover they can't log out without defeating a villain, the stakes become life and death. Among them is Rupert, a high school going boy haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his brother two decades ago. His only clue lies within the game itself a realm where villains from a long-forgotten creation of his brother's now roam free.
In a cyberpunk city teetering on chaos, Rupert must navigate dangerous alliances and uncover the secrets buried within the game. Unlike the marked Adaptors who display their power through glowing symbols, Rupert is unmarked, and his skills lie in his wits and deep understanding of the game's underlying code. Teaming up with other trapped players, he faces sinister forces in both the digital and real worlds, inching closer to the truth behind his brother’s disappearance and the origins of Hollowed Worlds Online.
In a world where reality and virtuality merge, Rupert must outsmart not just the game’s challenges, but the true masterminds pulling the strings.
