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

"I have a buff that makes you stronger in a few moments," Bunny smirked. "It will remove the limiter in you for a while."

"That buff definitely has a devastating side effect, right!?" Celia exclaimed. "Please, don't do that, Al!"

"I haven't even told you about it." The witch laughed. "Well, I'm not going to remove the limiter completely. You will only faint until tomorrow."

Alan hissed. "Just tell the truth, Bunny."

The witch shrugged. "I'm telling the truth. You know I can't lie when you order me like that, right?"

Alan narrowed his eyes at the approaching crimson wyvern. That beast's eyes were already glowing red, and its body was emitting something that looked like streaks of electricity but black in color.

Before long, it would get to a sufficient distance to shoot fire.

"I won't fall for your trap, Bunny." Alan took a few steps back from the edge of the land. "You want me to fall down as soon as I pass out, right?"
