Kaden Smith always wanted to escape his life. He had a dead-end job that barely allowed him to pay rent and fuels bills. He didn't have a girlfriend or a pet and he was estranged from his family. He just wanted to be... someone.

And then the new fantasy VRMMORPG , Artaia Online, comes out. A game that not only lets you use all five senses but also has "sentient" NPCs. But there's a twist. And no, no one gets trapped in the game. Well, other then the seventy year olds who can't find the log-out button.

Join Kaden as he adventures through the world of Artaia with a gnome barbarian that watches too much anime, an old man who likes puppets too much and a talking penguin that thinks he's a war veteran.
