Bridge Quest

Karl is worse than a newb. He doesn’t even like role playing games. Still, they did give him a choice: totally immerse or die.  Now Karl is on his very first adventure into the gaming world of Bridge Quest. It’s a world so real that it’s hard to tell the difference between NPCs and the players; where tastes, smells, sounds and experiences are so vivid you forget you’re in an artificial world. Except for those pesky popups and stats charts, Karl discovers he’s having more fun than in real life. 

Only one person can wield the sword called Orc’s Bane, a sword so mighty that the one who possesses it is destined to rule Innis Torr for 1,000 years. Yet the sword will only serve one master, a person it chooses, and Orc’s Bane has chosen Karl. Armed with the sword of prophecy, Karl must now convince the rest of the warring kingdoms and cities that he is the chosen one. But it is no easy task as he struggles to overcome jealous kings and princes, sorcery, and magical beasts.

Back in the game, Karl quickly learns that his friends are imprisoned and the evil assassin and nemesis Kevin now occupies the throne in a kingdom far from united. Graft and corruption permeate the land and highwaymen roam at will. Having already experienced Kevin’s treachery, Karl conceals his return until he can liberate his team, soon discovering there is a traitor among them.
