About this listen
Resurgence. Hands down the best Virtual Reality Massive-Multi Online Role Playing Game. Ever. There is no comparison between Resurgence and any other game, or Altcon and any other company, as any of the thousands of beta testers will attest. Any beta tester but Alex, anyway.
Alex knows Resurgence is more than a game, and that others have likely died so Resurgence could be released to the public. The truth weighs upon him, though the mystery of AltCon's true endgame is the real cause of his frustrations.
While Alex secretly works to discover the reality behind Resurgence - and AltCon's intentions - he is not alone. With the tight-knit squad of players he has come to see as friends, Alex must overcome the array of challenges in the game in order to discover the truth.
Even though Alex must work in secret, he’s not as alone as he believes. Substantial forces outside the game are stacking up to confront AltCon, too, all trying to answer the same question: can Altcon be stopped?
This is a new release of an edition originally published by Joshua W. Nelson.

Pay to play. Since the beginning of gaming this has been the norm; you pay the company and you can play their game. So, it's no surprise that Alex Stanton was living every gamer's dream. It was the opposite for him. He was getting paid to play. The latest in virtual reality gaming, in both graphics and hardware, was being beta tested by the largest retailer of online gaming, AltCon. But before they could go live, they wanted serious beta testers. So serious, AltCon was willing to pay and ensure their lives revolved around the Beta, and the Beta only.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its System. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills. This AI turned these concepts from fiction to fact. It's easy to become intoxicated with leveling up and becoming stronger. To some, it's too good to be true, like living out a dream. For Daniel, however, it's closer to a nightmare.

Felix's life on Earth had become a series of dead-end jobs, ruined relationships, and rotating apartments smaller than most postage stamps. By all accounts, even his own, he was a coward. Too afraid to move forward, to take risks. Yet when given the chance to choose between risking his life or walking away from a deadly encounter, he didn't hesitate. Moments before his untimely demise, Felix was snatched from earth and thrust into a magical world known only as "The Continent". Empowered by the "System", he learns that he can strengthen himself through combat and dedication.

Unfortunately, the zone fell out of use centuries ago, and no one told the monsters they were supposed to take it easy on the Noobs. Even worse, the only new player around is Jim. Jim has been given an opportunity, and he'll do his best to take advantage of it.

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

Great read for gamers and fantasy lovers alike!
In this second book, the plot continues to develop in enjoyable ways. Those who have played MMORPGs are sure to be filled with nostalgia. This novel is feel-good and chalk full of silly humor.

Did it again! Great Read!
Nelson gives such a fresh take on the litrpg genre. Where most take the "sucked into a world as real as ours and can't escape" route, Nelson takes us on a traditional MMORPG journey filled with nostalgia and laughs. Interesting plot- great fun!
Highly recommend!
