How Do I Sign Up?
Jenny Jive, influencer, video blogger, and top-rated entertainer in the VR world, gained billions of followers based on her antics ... She felt thrilled and exhilarated. With her ego pumped up, Jenny created more VR entertainment.
One morning, Jenny connected to see her show’s recent praises and upvotes. She lost millions of followers ... Another girl captured the spotlight, mimicking many of Jenny’s signature traits. Yet, over the top, indescribably captivating and much more immersive.
“Who is that? Unbelievable! That stealing bitch!”
Jenny answered a virtual-neural chat request from Douglas R. at ‘Trending You Studios.’
“This is Jen!”
“Hey Jen, love your work. But I noticed you’re losing fans. :(“
“OMG, Tell me about it! That stupid woman is plagiarizing me! I mean, if I could sue, I would!”
“Don’t worry, Jen. We have something for you that’ll blow your mind.”
“Oh, tell me!”
“Are you sitting down, Jen?”
“No, I will ... Okay ...“
“Jen, you won’t believe it, but the other girl is entirely virtual.”
“What? Is she some kind of AI? That’s against casting policies!”
“Oh, no, Jen, she’s a real person, but her consciousness got uploaded.”
“That’s ridiculous ... I mean, that’s crazy. Why would she do that?”
“Oh, Jen, she’s perfectly sane, very wealthy, and has everything she’ll ever want.”
“But how? That’s weird. So unreal. She’s not really real! I mean, who paid her?”
“That’s why I’m contacting you, Jen. It’s one of the services we offer at Trending You Studios. We offer millions of dollars for you to upload your consciousness.”
“Why would I do that? It sounds so creepy ...”
“It’s fine, Jen, there’s much more to it. We run a consciousness exchange program. Our clients pay us millions of dollars each. We then match them up with a new host and make the swap. Usually, they’re an elderly or terminally ill person, and almost always super-rich.”

“But, won’t I be dead? How can I exist virtually, forever?”
“You won’t, Jen ... when the time’s right, we can find you a new host and pay them, like you, to make the swap, especially after you’ve earned billions.”
“Okay ... but how’ll that help me to become more famous?
“Well, Jen, with your consciousness uploaded, there’s no limit to your creativity. You can build virtual worlds for others and become the most famous. You can create an entire universe far beyond your current neural hookups.”
“Oh, hmm .. that’s true! What she did was remarkable! How do I sign up?”

Path of the Outsider
Path of the Outsider is the story of Roland, a university student...who's also gained the ability to travel to and from Hristomver, a world filled with magic and barely stepping into its own age of enlightenment. As the Outsider, he acts as adjutant and advisor to Madeline, a Magister in service to the court of the Kingdom of Straskey, where, in that capacity, he is able to bring the wonders of the modern world to Hristomver. But the times are changing. The Kingdom of Straskey is but a fragment of a greater whole, one of the five splinter kingdoms that were born in the catastrophic fall of their parent state of the Strovian Realm. And from these Kingdoms, men and women, both opportunistic and dutiful seek to reunite the Realm - by the pen, or by the sword. The wheel of fate turns, and no Outsider is exempt from being caught in its wake. And as the tides shift, Roland must grapple with his unique position, and find his trail to blaze, across Earth and Hristomver...
