Synopsis

To win means to attain endless wealth, boundless honour, unsurpassable status, and a chance to enter the promised land of Eden.

To lose means to remain trapped inside a murky, poisonous hellscape.

Victory or Defeat. Heaven or Hell. The Ascenders Cup will decide your place.

---------
Aether, (pronounced Ether), is a twenty-six-year-old, odd-jobs man. Faced with a sudden financial crisis that threatens to destroy his familiar life, he joins a group of teenagers to participate in a Fully-Immersive VR Arena Tournament that promises him wealth and much more. As desires and dreams, ideals and morals collide, Aether's journey is bound to change him forever.
