Aetheria Online was more than a game—it was a revolution.
A virtual world so vast, so immersive, that reality itself began to feel dull by comparison. Its full-dive technology promised second world, letting players see, feel, and live inside its breathtaking landscapes. 

Within days of launch, billions had joined. Governments were forced to issue temporary shutdowns of schools, offices, and even trade networks as the world went silent… and logged in.

The media called it “the second dawn of civilization.”
Some called it “a digital drug.”
But to Max Thorne, Aetheria was something else entirely—a lifeline.

Max lives in a cramped apartment on the outskirts of Tokyo with his mother, spending his entire day working on freelance web design projects that barely pay. Every morning begins with overdue notices; every night ends with his mother’s tear over another unpaid bill. 

Her once-bright hope has been worn down by exhaustion and worry.

When Aetheria Online launches, Max sees a chance—a way out of the endless cycle of poverty. The game promised fortune.

Fame can be built. Sponsorships, contracts, and streaming deals are already turning unknown players into overnight millionaires.

His mother doesn’t believe in it.
To her, Aetheria is just another fantasy keeping him from “real life.”
So she gives him an ultimatum: three months.
Three months to prove the game can actually change their lives—or give it up forever.

Desperation drives him into the digital world. And the moment Max steps into Aetheria, he knows this isn’t just another world—it’s a living one. Nations rise and fall. Guilds wage wars that ripple into reality. Gold here can buy influence out there.

But as Max climbs higher—fighting monsters, forging alliances, and uncovering secrets buried deep in Aetheria’s code—he begins to realize that the line between virtual and real isn’t just blurred… it’s breaking.

And when it does, the world will never be the same again.
