Path Of War - Path Of War, #1

The year is 2025. A devout Christian named Arthur Bennett wins a lottery to participate in a revolutionary virtual reality experience at a high-tech company called Elysium. The program utilizes a unique VR pod to immerse users in a world based on a popular cartoon series. As the other participants-a mix of personalities with varying degrees of knowledge-prepare to enter the simulation, Arthur remains the only one who has never indulged in the series.
Upon entering this new world, he discovers an unsettling truth: pain is excruciatingly real, despite the creators' claims of a dampened pain response. Arthur finds himself trapped in prison, unable to log out, and demanding to be released from the program. Calls go unanswered, and the virtual world becomes a nightmare where hunger, thirst, hygiene, and even death are real.
