The Hatred of the Dwarves

In a future where the bounds of artificial intelligence have eclipsed human imagination, quantum computers with intellects vastly surpassing
human capacity have birthed a new reality.

This world, a digital frontier unlike anything mankind has ever seen, has been generously offered to humanity.

Among the privileged is Ben, who secures one of the coveted "Q-Caps," devices that allow for long-term immersion into this virtual universe.
As he starts his journey, all he desires is to level up quietly as a novice and navigate through the beginner quests.

But fate has other plans.

Ben's simple aspirations are quickly upended when he finds himself caught in the midst of a deep-rooted conflict between the light dwarves and their enslaved goblins.

In this world, the lines between friend and foe are not just blurred—they're nonexistent.
Ben is forced to question everything around him, including the very nature of his existence in this digital Eden.

Is this immersive universe a mere playground for humans, or do the AIs have a more sinister agenda hidden behind their creation?

As Ben delves deeper into this virtual labyrinth, he must uncover the truth behind the AIs' motives and decide what role he wants to play in a world where the digital and the real collide.

Join Ben on a journey of self-discovery and intrigue, where every decision can alter the course of this virtual reality, and perhaps, even the future of humanity itself.
