Jobs in real-life has evolved to serve meaning in a digital world we now live in, connected to pods. 

People play games as a means of living, not just a getaway anymore.

You play as a contestant in this global event game, called Glory Games. 

Players compete for prize pools in an alternate digital dimension called the Glory Lands. 

Your journey begins in the school of Glory Lands Town, which you hone your skills to prepare you for the upcoming competitions. 

Will you make friends or foe? Which faction join? Will you act in integrity, or will you act to survive at any price?
