Rather than die a slow cold death of age, Brooke volunteered to die a quick experimental death of upload into a virtual world. Good news! The upload took! But when she chooses to participate in a game on Beta.Earth, things start to go weird. First she gets swept into a minor rebellion against an AI god, and then, after a pleasant second childhood, a NPC steals one of her names.She's been reborn a mermaid, renamed Dyaku and given a quests by the AI gods as she scrambles to figure out what the hell is going on, as nothing in this game is exactly what it seems to be.

------------------

Dyaku is a LITRPG fantasy featuring a complex world, single character narrator, and lots of world building. Once out of the Second Section (which is the second childhood) there are adult situations, and somewhat graphic sexual depictions*. There is traumatising content, though this is not a grimdark novel and it will be limited. There is action, there is comedy, there is adventure on the high seas. And the low seas. And the deep seas. Come, swim with me and find out.

*I've not decided how graphic yet, but it's not going to be a fade to black.
