Both Simon and Katherine are the best of friends, but one day when Simon gave a try with a peculiar product featuring special virtual-reality equipment, suddenly Simon couldn't Katherine anywhere and assumed that she had gone missing after seeing a group of strange men. Realizing that time is running out, Simon had no choice but to use the newly acquired virtual-reality gear, enter the game world of 'Otherworld', and do whatever it takes to get back his beloved Katherine.
Fans of science fiction and virtual reality will find this story a blast to read, especially with an intriguing take on having the main character filled with flaws, the addition of humor in a otherwise serious story, and the ideal conflict between morality and the danger of being obsessive with virtual-reality technologies.
