A Glitch in the System

Zephaniah Kote is a gamer, coder, and hacker, but he is not a murder investigator. After completing his latest job, he is looking forward to flirting with his favorite barista while he waits for the release of the fantasy virtual reality game of the decade: Fabula. Unfortunately, when he meets with the people of Riverlight Incorporated, the creators of the upcoming Fabula game, Zephaniah finds himself involved in the middle of a crisis. One person is dead and two of Riverlight Incorporated’s executives have become trapped in their own virtual reality game. And he's the person they want to solve the murder, before the game goes public. Forced to enter the Fabula, Zephaniah chooses a Ranger class as the most suitable for exploring the world. His search for the missing executives soon leads him to the medieval city of Altour, where he has to level up fast enough to be able to investigate even the toughest of zones: those ruled by the Thieves Guild.
