In 2035, society thrives on technological advancements and a shift toward creativity and leisure. With AI-driven robotics automating labor, people pursue art, science, and personal fulfillment. The world blends American minimalism with Japanese elegance, its clean streets and neon-lit skylines humming with progress. Yet, amidst this near-utopia, one man feels left behind.
Jace Calder, 33, drifts through life without direction. A loner working at a robot-run noodle shop, Jace dreams of adventure and making a name for himself. He longs to be admired and loved but remains stuck in monotony. His life takes a turn when he learns about Eternium-a revolutionary virtual reality game like nothing the world has seen.
Accessible only during sleep, Eternium redefines reality. Nine hours of sleep equals 30 days in-game, where players explore a vibrant, player-driven universe free to create, connect, and conquer. While logged in, they exist in their peak physical form, unburdened by real-world limitations. Eternium offers not just escape but the chance to reinvent oneself.
Drawn by its promise, Jace invests his savings into joining the game's digital revolution. With the help of his famous and confident friend Mason Tanaka, Jace prepares to enter a world where he hopes to finally become someone. But recognition isn't as easy as he imagines.
Within Eternium, players shape the game's evolution. The central hub world changes through NPC influence, while portals lead to limitless player-made realms. As Jace navigates this universe, he uncovers a deeper mystery about Eternium's enigmatic creator, its purpose, and its impact on a world increasingly reliant on escapism.
Eternium 30 Days is the precursor to the events of Eternium, exploring the origins of a world that would change lives forever. It's a story of transformation, ambition, and the blurred lines between reality and fantasy, set in a world where nine hours of sleep could change everything.
