What happens when a young man with bad luck receives the opportunity of a lifetime? 

After receiving a strange email to beta-test a game for $1000, will you venture into the world of Races: Online and meet multiple Fantasy Races? Will you embark onto the path of becoming one of the future Heroes and Adventurers by enrolling in the Kraelonia Academy? Will you seek to build your village or perhaps aim for the crown instead?

See the world through the lenses of the main protagonist and other characters:

Han Jing - a twenty-something young man who receives the email and becomes a Player. Live as a Student at Kraelonia Academy by night, but return to the real world by day and discover the world one lives in has its own secrets lingering beneath its surface.

Timothy Cook - an NPC (?) from Rockfall Village who also travels with 'Han' to Kraelonia Academy. A young man with a fiery personality and the [ Firestarter ] Skill to match, after losing his mother during the Demon Lord's attack, does he have anything left to do? The allure of magic calls to him, but what if he sinks deeper than he could possibly go?

A world of Classes, Levels, Swords and Sorcery... hop into the Races: Online server and start your quest today!

Or maybe meet up with the other Players offline?

Races: Online ( VR Smartphone App )

"You try to sound like you're different from your parents, but you're also not risking that much, aren't you, Han?"

"That's…" Han Jing wondered if they knew what it exactly felt like being compared to one's parents' negative attributes. Like most kids, he grew up being proud of his parents and his father… but somewhere down the line, you realized that they were human like yourself.

Prone to bad decisions and mistakes.

Mistakes and faults in characters that Han Jing swore he'd avoid because he'd seen how it affected them. Now that Odele pointed it out? It was like pouring acid on a fresh wound… and then stabbing it with a sword.

"I guess I'm kinda like them, but I guess most people are." Han Jing laughed it off and scratched his head. "You know that cheesy line about becoming what you've sworn to avoid? Wow, now I finally get it."

"You humans and your awful references," The Demon Lord muttered underneath her breath.
