Eternum

Moving to Kredon for university, the protagonist and his best friend arrive in a city consumed by one topic: ETERNUM, a hyper-realistic MMORPG run through neural implants that make the virtual world indistinguishable from the real one. Beneath its polished surface, ETERNUM has no rules—black markets, trafficking, data theft, and worse thrive inside it while governments look away. The deeper the protagonist goes, the more certain he becomes that something beyond corruption explains the silence from those in power. What his role in all of it turns out to be is up to the player.
