World-Tree Trilogy

In 2058, ARKUS, a powerful AI, releases World-Tree Online, a VR game utilizing advanced time-dilation. Players experience one month in-game for every real-world hour, effectively extending their lives virtually.

When an update traps players inside, stretching time-dilation to one year per five seconds, an old gamer named Vincent discovers an exploit. He develops powerful spells, aiming to ascend the World-Tree.

Vincent clashes with Lucas, the game's last moderator, who abuses his power to conquer the World-Tree. Vincent’s exploit may be the only way to stop Lucas.

Years later, Vincent returns from a long vacation to climb harder in the game. He must reach the top, but that quest will eventually bring him at odds with Noah, another player with a conflicting goal.
