Nico Bradley, a 29 year old game developer, logs into newly released VRMMORPG Blade Vale Online to test the Amusphere II, the latest virtual reality gaming device to hit international markets. The device is designed to be completely safe, but just over a month after the game's launch Bradley and thousands of other players find themselves trapped in the game at risk of real death. Bradley, known in the virtual world as Cyril, is determined to escape and uncover the truth of the seemingly impossible death game. However, he'll soon find himself locked in conflict with a dangerous player killer whose ambitions of conquest may be Cyril's death.
