The prison authorities, seeking to introduce recreational activities for the inmates, decide to allow select prisoners to participate in the game as a means of passing the time. Eager to escape the monotony of prison life, Alex eagerly takes up the opportunity to join the immersive virtual world. To his surprise, he discovers that his notoriety as a master thief has caught the attention of players within the game. They started offering him IRL means to reduce his prison sentence in an exchange on a daring quest to retrieve valuable treasures scattered throughout the virtual realm. With a hidden class known as the "Shadow Hunter," Alex possesses unique skills and abilities that make him an invaluable asset to the players seeking rare and precious items. As he delves deeper into the virtual world, he finds himself entangled in a complex web of alliances, rivalries, and dangerous quests that blur the line between the game and reality.

Along the way, he forms unexpected alliances and confronts his own inner demons, questioning the choices that led him down a path of crime. * For anyone wondering about the romance, it will take a long time as this is not the focus of the book.

What Happened Here?

The player from the Death Coffin Guild was no more, having stood no chance against Alex in the fight.

"This guy probably recorded everything to show to his guild members… Forget this nonsense, I'm not intimidated," Alex muttered.

In the recorded footage, Alex's face would be visible, meaning the guild leader would recognize him as the renowned player, Shadowborn. He hoped his reputation would deter the Death Coffin Guild from further confrontation.

Having never heard of the Death Coffin Guild before, Alex assumed it was a small or medium-sized organization at best. They didn't seem the type to provoke trouble with him.

"If things go terribly wrong, I can always ask for Fried Bacon's help!" Alex thought.
