Metal Online: The Real World Sucks Balls
After getting robbed in Metal I got burgled in the real. Fan–freaking–tastic. Now I couldn’t even log back into the game.
Metal was a popular online, net deep-dive, MMO Action RPG. That’s leetspeak for a videogame you plug straight into your brain. The world inside this virtual system was amazing. Heaven, but not boring. The world outside was $#!t.
The universe wanted me to deal with real problems; I guess. So, I focused on making ends meet. My PI agency wasn’t gonna run itself. Especially since I was my only employee.
Luck would have it, a sexy dame, out of old detective pulp hired me to track down one of her younger concubines. The girl went missing, but her consciousness was in Metal.
I was getting paid to go back into the game, yet I had no way to do it. Every blessing with its curse, you know?
If you enjoy detective stories, explicit sex, striking women, and the duality of virtual/real life, then you’ll love Blake Sky’s descent into a heavy metal infused fantasy/cyberpunk sci-fi neo-noir adventure.
