Description: [edit] [history]

In the realm of gaming, Zachary is unstoppable—a prodigy who conquers MMOs, MOBAs, FPS's, RTS, and fighting games with the prowess of a world champion. But outside the virtual world, the 23-year-old's life is a series of missteps: unemployed, a college dropout, and still living under his mother's roof. His daily routine is out of sync with the rest of the world, and despite his unparalleled skills with a mouse and keyboard, in real life, he's far from heroic.

But fate has other plans.

A seemingly ordinary trip to the gas station thrusts Zachary into the mystical realm of Peratha—a world where prophecies, magic, and political intrigue are as real as the games he's mastered. Suddenly, the skills he's honed behind a screen become his greatest assets in a land where every challenge is a test of survival. But as he navigates this new world, shadows gather, and a sinister force plots against him, threatening not only his life but the fate of an entire kingdom.

In Peratha, there's no respawn. Zachary must draw on his gaming experience, face real-world stakes, and rise to become the unlikely Hero of Peratha.
