The Arcane Anomaly Online
By Robert King
Synopsis
Ethan Bellweather, a cynical software engineer with a penchant for debunking online conspiracy theories, stumbled upon a peculiar Discord server. Populated by individuals roleplaying as powerful mages and ancient warlocks, they spoke of forgotten lore, arcane energies, and ritualistic practices. Ethan initially dismissed it as a harmless LARP, another outlet for escapism in the digital age. However, as strange occurrences begin plaguing his city – spontaneous weather anomalies, unexplained surges of energy, and whispers of mythical creatures – Ethan starts to suspect that the 'roleplayers' might be far more than they seem. Drawn into their world, he discovers that magic is real, hidden beneath the veneer of modern society, and that he might be the key to preventing an ancient conflict from resurfacing.
