Shadow Realms Online: Book One: Lost Harts
Jack and Asil Hart, a married gamer duo, join a secret beta test for the MMORPG sequel to their favorite RPG. Along with five other participants, they’re placed in strange rune-inscribed pods. Instead of a typical “VR demo,” they awaken in a medieval fantasy realm, separated and uncertain how they arrived.Jack assumes it’s the most immersive simulation ever, leveling up and battling monsters with reckless confidence. On the other hand, Asil quickly realizes something is wrong—the pain, the changed appearances, and the absence of modern trappings hint at real danger. Each acquires a magical journal and unlocks a class, allowing them to wield genuine powers. But in a world with lethal enemies and no reset button, the stakes are higher than any game they’ve ever played. Their only hope is to find each other and uncover the truth before it’s too late.
