Rebirth

The world of Caelas Online is a full-immersion Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game—the most realistic the world has ever seen. Those seeking an escape from the drudgery of everyday life, or simply a brand new adventure in a realm of nigh-endless possibilities, flock to the virtual landscapes of Caelas where they can be anything they want to be.
 
Miller is a gamer through and through, and one of the handful of pioneers who have made a career for themselves playing Caelas. He is an achievement hunter of a particular persuasion, one that he has successfully monetized. His goal? To bed all the hottest men the game has to offer.
 
After bedding the Dragon Prince of the Kingdom of Legacy, Miller finds himself trapped in a liminal space. There, he encounters Zyren, self-proclaimed god and administrator of Caelas, learns the truth of his circumstances, and strikes up a deal with Zyren.

Rebirth is a 5,800-word short story and part two in a four-part series.
