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

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.

Resurgence is hiding a secret. It’s taken Alex months to find it…but find it he has! There is only one problem: It might just be an unbeatable force that he can’t defeat on his own. Luckily, Alex has never been without his group of friends, ready to join him for any challenge.

Da ihm Ravens besondere Gabe hilfreich erscheint, bittet er den Hexer, ihn bei diesem Fall zu unterstützen.

Resurgence is going to war. The beta players have finally reached the endgame. That means something entirely different for Alex and his friends, however, as they are the only ones who know the secret behind Resurgence and the company responsible for the game—AltCon. Assuming all the pieces fall into place and time stays on their side, they very well could be the omega players.
