Isamu "Sam" Haruto has always been the kid being picked on, whether it be for his Japanese heritage, or his diminutive height. Frustrated by life, Sam has turned to an alternative; a virtual life, inside the first ever VRMMO, Dragon Companion Online. In there, he hopes to meet companions, friends, and explore a world of adventure.
The story follows Sam, as he struggles with social anxiety and bullying in the real world, as well as his adventures as a great Rider, with bonded dragon Midnight, through the virtual land known as "The Night," a monster ridden country filled with people who need help to bring rise to a great civilization.
The new VRMMORPG DragonCrest Online was one of the top rated games in history and players flocked by the millions to purchase the console. I, Kaiser Griffin, was one of the lucky persons selected to be a beta tester, and boy am I glad. The world of DCO gives us a place to explore unnatural powers and be as free as we want to be. But unknown to us, this world though seemingly virtual and unreal is more than it looks like. Fantasy soon becomes Reality, the real world becomes nigh impossible to differentiate from the 'real' one. My friends and I are at the centre of this whirlwind of change, riding the wave of destiny to fulfill our purpose. But we soon see Dark forces beginning to take root and friendships being destroyed. But we won't sit around and let this happen. So read on and let's explore DC online!
