A gamer has only one chance to escape the glitchy dreamscape of The Game or risk losing her mind... and her life.

Meet "The Game": software that induces an online dreamscape where players can complete quests, pass missions and achieve everything they ever wanted. With nearly 12 million players on its launch date, it's the biggest success the corporate gaming community has ever seen. Even with the few hundred pirated players that managed to sneak in for a free ride. 

When the servers crash, hundreds of gamers are trapped inside The Game's now glitchy fantasy world and according to a random message mixed with rumour, their only chance at freedom is reaching a moderator. 

Newb player, BAD_KITTY_69, is separated from her boyfriend and teammate DASHING_WILLIAM_19 hours after the glitch that disconnected them from the menu system, rendering them unable to save their progress or exit The Game. 

Kitty teams up with a stray player to head for the moderators on Bang-Bang Island's infamous Arena. But as her and LUCY_FUR_666 make their way over the changing rifts of The Game, Kitty begins to realise that Lucy is not all he seems. And every rift brings new surprises, new terrors, and a deeper understanding about what's really happening inside The Game.  

As the glitches start to become more frequent, the players still trapped inside have to begin accepting the fact that they might be trapped in The Game forever.

Death Drive by LowHale
31 parts Complete Mature
In the near future, most work has been relegated to machines and people are content to spend their time immersed in virtual reality, something they cannot get enough of. Thomas Walker, an ex-racecar driver who blames the hidden algorithms that run society for losing everything that is important to him, finds himself at the center of a string of bizarre vehicular attacks and becomes assured that someone is out to get him. Meanwhile, Lucas Bennett, an anxiety-ridden software engineer, is contracted by the leading artificial intelligence corporation in the US to decipher the inner workings of their flagship AI that have become incomprehensible even to themselves, a job that he is very invested in since he considers technology the solution to his personal as well as mankind's timeless problems. Unknown to the public at large, the CEO of the company is bent on unleashing the full capabilities of that AI to handle every single aspect of society and individual lives. When all hell breaks loose, the two men and those close to them team up to survive and fight back against the horde of vehicular attackers and the Intelligence behind them while also clashing together over their views: is artificial intelligence a way to humanity's salvation or doom? Betrayal abounds, nothing is as it seems and the traffic is a real killer. The story is complete and I will be uploading 1 chapter around every Friday. If that seems too slow for you, you're welcome to get the book at https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B2Q3KNSW

The US has collapsed in the wake of a new civil war. Corporations rush to fill the gaps and provide services to the citizens in exchange for control of areas of the country. Zero is an Auditor working for a corporation that claims to have an infallible identification system; even in a world where more than just a name can be stolen. When a job goes sideways, Zero finds himself the target of a manhunt. His only choice is to turn to a friend; an unstable hacker with an impossible job for him. **If you would like to listen to the book instead of read it, it is being admirably narrated by Stories After Midnight on YouTube. You can find the first chapter here: https://youtu.be/M_dwy-Stzcw
