An apocalypse is coming to Odeatha, a world filled with magic and fantastical creatures. Many monsters appeared out of nowhere and terrorized the people. So, the higher-ups of the many countries decided to use a special magic that lifted some of their lands and buildings to the sky. 

But the wizards didn't realize the big flaw of that magic. The buildings and lands they had lifted were destroyed, and many people died.

That was the backstory of Grand Azure Online. This new VR game boasts a combination of fantasy RPG, colony building, management, and survival elements.

Adventure in the blue sky? Build a floating base? Defend it from the myriad of threats? Taming fantastic beasts as your allies? Forming a colony that would have a massive impact on Odeatha? People want to try out those unique features.

One of them is Alan Rhodes, a young man that very excited to be a beta tester of the game. Unfortunately, his life is in a downward spiral because he lost his job. He decides to sell his VR device to make ends meet.

Before that, he decided to get a small taste of that game by becoming a mage. He went on a little adventure in the sky and met new friends. Sadly, he had to leave the game forever in the end.

But something strange happened. Alan and the other players couldn't log out. 

Is that fantasy realm going to be Alan's new life?
Can he survive? Can he uncover why he and the others are trapped there?

Would his life be any better in that world?

Grand Azure Online

Alan pressed a small egg-shaped device to activate Brunch's alarm. After that, he fired a bright orange ball upwards using his water blast.


The seller in the previous city said, that thing was for celebration, like fireworks in Alan's home world. However, Alan bought it for a different purpose. That thing will explode after a few seconds in the air to reveal his and Celia's location.


"By the way, you two aren't from this world, are you?" Sylrieth guessed while looking at Alan. "The story about this forest is famous all over the world, but you don't know it. Your Servant is also surprised by healing magic."


"Not that I've never seen that healing magic, though." Celia shrugged, not caring anymore if she was still considered only a servant. "There was a concussion…. I had a wound on the inside of my head a week ago. A healer cured me with that magic…. I just didn't expect that it could be used on external wounds… Errr…"
