No Game No Life

Luke West, is a 21-year-old college slacker, has two great passions in life—gaming and skipping class. But if there’s one thing he truly despises, it’s rodents. Rats, in particular. Creepy, sneaky, and downright disgusting. He can’t stand the sight of them. One fateful day, on his way to pick up the latest game release, Luke is hit by a truck. Just before the darkness takes him, he catches a glimpse of something impossible—a rat grinning at him. When he wakes up, it’s not in a hospital bed. No, it’s worse. Much worse. He’s been reincarnated as a rat. A creature he’s hated his whole life. Forced to live among the very vermin he loathes, Luke is determined to survive, plotting a way to escape this nightmare. But the more time he spends among the rats and other beastmen, the more he starts to see the truth: maybe it’s not the rats or the beastmen who are the problem—maybe humans are the real pests. Just when he’s coming to terms with his new life, he learns of a brewing revolution. The rats and their fellow brethren are planning to rise up and overthrow humanity. War is coming, and Luke must decide where he truly belongs. Excerpt: “If I get out of this alive, I’m going vegan,” Luke muttered, scampering through the sewer. “Who’s alive?” a rat beside him snickered. “You’re one of us now. Get used to cheese cravings.” “I hate cheese,” Luke hissed. The older rat raised a brow. “Oh, sweet summer child. Give it time.”

Allsium takes virtual reality to the ultimate level. It is not a social network, nor a massively multiplayer online video game, but an experience as real as life itself. In Allsium pain and pleasure feels as if it were real, so leaving the safety of virtual Earth is a price few are willing to pay. Those who do so will travel to the so-called illegal worlds, dangerous planets that pay homage to the golden age of video games and cinema, where they can obtain unimaginable powers: abilities that exceed human limits and magics that can be developed by choosing a path. However, the bravest adventurers must be very careful, as losing their lives in Allsium will make it impossible to access again, so they will no longer benefit from the system in a real world that is still recovering from the disasters of World War III. Gunner has formed a virtual group together with Greek, Dagon and Zen. After long and painstaking preparation, they decide to travel to the outlaw worlds of Allsium in search of the power offered by the trails. These can lead them to master incredible abilities and, incidentally, to take revenge on a society that has turned them into outcasts. But this will only be possible if they manage to take advantage of the Allsionist plan: the creation of a breach in the system that connects virtuality with reality. Evolution takes the final step. Welcome to Allsium.
