Rise of the Elementae

Darius DeGray is a major otaku, who also happens to be one of the most dangerous men alive in the US military. With his only family dead he's alone in the world, except for his best friend Críostóir Birns. Críostóir, otherwise known as Cris, is a buddy he met while on a trip to Ireland. He's also an otaku. Together they typically shun the world around them and play MMOs until one night, strange glowing symbols appear on Darius's screen. Darius is enveloped in light and transported to another world, gaining strange abilities in the process. With no idea how he got there and why he was sent, Darius must set out on a journey to discover the cause of his unexpected adventure.
