Revenant Online

Alex was a gamer. Gaming wasn't just a lifestyle. The essence of his favorite hobby was woven into his DNA. At least, that is what his parents liked to say after he pulled an all-night slaughterfest. The hordes of Morlock never saw him coming. What his parents didn't understand was playing games was Alex's chance to be the hero. Gaming was his opportunity to be adventurous without taking risks. In reality, Alex always felt like a different person. He was more likely to end up on the ground with a bruise shaped like Randy's fist than strike up a conversation with a member of the opposite sex. A problem Alex never seemed to have behind the keyboard. The release of Revenant Online was going to change everything. Revenant Online wasn't just a video game. The new system was more like submersive reality. In essence, Alex would become his avatar. Revenant Online would allow him to experience being the hero he always dreamed of. He wouldn't be clicking his way through fights with his favorite mechanical keyboard. For the first time, Alex would be fighting the battles himself. Will Revenant Online be what Alex needs to break free from his shell, or just another opportunity to hide from reality?

The lines between gaming and reality have started to blur. Alex never expected a game to change the way he looked at life, but the launch of Revenant Online changed his perception of the world as much as himself. The old him would never have the courage to make a move on a girl, but this time he was determined not to let the opportunity slip through his fingertips. Inside of the game, he wasn't just Alex, the high school outcast. He was a tank. The man who led his group into battle. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Alex was the bulwark between the darkness and the light. The Unifier was coming. There was no reasoning with it. There was no bargaining. The Unifer served one purpose. To exterminate every living soul. To unite them all in death. Alex and his friend weren't going to let that happen. Follow along as Alex battles treacherous enemies, masters newfound abilities, and confronts his growing feelings for Sana in both realities.

Love, gaming, and danger collide. Alex never expected to fall for his best friend's sister. Then they started playing Revenant Online together, and everything changed. Killing monsters and solving mysteries as a team made him see what he should have seen all along. Sana was more than Ben's sister. She was the woman who captured his heart. Revenant Online was the spark that lit the fire of their relationship. It would have been easy to think the game was all that made them fall for each other, but their lives in the real world were becoming just as interesting. Keeping secrets from his best friend, hounded by mean girls, destruction of property, and the chance to be interviewed on their favorite online gaming show was almost to much for a teenager to take. Alex wasn't sure what was next for them, but he knew it would be exciting. It was time to log in and find out.
