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

During the trip to the west, Alan managed to collect many chunks of ground to enlarge the base. So, Celia decided to plant potato seeds next to the small building that was being built by Alan.


"I don't know if the potato seeds in this world are the same as those in our world. The seller said that these things can grow in any season as long as there is enough water and fertilizer." Celia shrugged after finishing watering their small field in the morning. "Hopefully, what he says is true."


"We can only hope." Alan, tying a plank of wood to their new hut, replied. "We can't rely solely on hunting."


"Yeah." Celia massaged her forehead. "I can no longer eat those flying rabbits."


It wasn't every day that they could find animals to hunt. So, they have to rely on their dwindling supplies.
