Reeling from tragedy, Lance trades reality for a cutting-edge VR game, ignoring his pastor’s plea to face life head-on. Dropped into a goblin-infested canyon with his sharp-witted AI, Cletus, he fights to survive—only to stumble upon a strange box whispering of secrets. In a nearby town, he meets Borgakh, a ruthless orc priestess who promises destruction.

Outmatched but determined, he joins an unlikely crew of fellow Christians—including a disabled inmate, a former welfare recipient, and an over-educated healer—to face the growing threat. When a cryptic trail leads them to a dragon’s lair, the beast reveals a glimpse of the world’s ancient stakes—raising the price of survival. Together, they grind levels and forge bonds, but a potentially deadly glitch blurs the line between game and reality—trapping some and testing all. With faith as their anchor, Lance’s crew must decide: log out and lose all they have accomplished, or stay and defy Borgakh’s wrath. This is LitRPG with soul—where battles shape heroes and hope defies the odds.
