The incredible phenomenon of the “Sear”—a Breakdown—shook the world. Playing your favorite online game—be careful when you fully immerse yourself in the virtual! There’s a good chance your consciousness will throw off the shackles of your flawed body and remain in another reality forever. Woe to whoever gets stuck in “Tetris”! But you wouldn’t envy those who, hundreds of times a day, are forced to burn in the armor of tank simulators…
But can you really call someone lucky who intentionally uses the Breakdown phenomenon and voluntarily plunges into the boundless world of sword and magic?
Gleb didn’t get time to think. The doctors’ death sentence flipped the last page of his life calendar. What should he do: quietly fade away, crossing out the remaining days one by one, or risk everything by choosing to undergo the Breakdown?
The stakes are set—life on zero. Gleb’s choice is to play in order to live!
