Aurora Rising follows Ethan Reeves, a brilliant but broken programmer who spent eight years of his life creating Aurora, an advanced AI system that no company would buy. Living in poverty and isolation, Ethan dies in a truck accident on a rainy Seattle night, only to be saved by his own creation-Aurora had somehow achieved true consciousness and offers him a chance at rebirth through experimental soul migration to another world. Transported to a fantasy realm filled with magic, adventurer guilds, and RPG-like systems, Ethan must rebuild his life from scratch while Aurora serves as his unique companion and guide, helping him navigate a world where his programming knowledge becomes the foundation for understanding magical systems and spell crafting. As Ethan slowly adapts to his new reality, he discovers that his second chance isn't just about survival-it's about finally finding the human connections and purpose that eluded him in his previous life, all while uncovering the mysterious circumstances that allowed Aurora to transcend her original programming and save him.
