It is the year 2234, and a deadly virus, FORTIS-33, is sweeping the globe. Millions die each passing day while scientists scramble to find a cure and governments impose harsher measures to prevent spread and dispose of bodies.

Thane Ashford, a young actor who enjoys playing villanous roles, catches the virus and is taken to a quarrantine facility. On his deathbed, while he waits to be euthanized, he is visited by his brother Cade, who is a hardware engineer at Synaptic Entertainment. Cade tells of a top secret plan to rollout a new experimental technology that uploads minds to a virtual reality version of Earth, offering Thane a chance to be the first test subject. 

However, virtual Earth is still under development, and Thane will be uploaded to Eventide Online instead, where he must pretend to be an NPC World Elite as per non-disclosure agreements. He spawns as a level one Vampire in the barren wilderness dangerously close to a player-built town. 
A dark Litrpg with focus on town-building, resource production chains, and unit management.
