Centuries have passed since Earth became uninhabitable, and what remains of humanity has migrated to outer space—to the twelve colonies, each home to generations of survivors. Survivors who have forgotten their own history, whose livelihoods hinge on the outcome of a game.

ZodiacOnline.

A sprawling, seemingly limitless MMORPG rife with references to the world their ancestors left behind, ZodiacOnline has become the virtual battleground upon which all contests are fought and won. The prize? Precious, life-altering resources.

Enter Livian Vermillion and Penjamin Coral, citizens of ZODIAC-1. Elevated from relative obscurity after years spent toiling among the lower ranks, Liv has been given one mission: secure the Gateway Keys and make something of the Pen, the privileged son of the greatest General their people have ever known.

Unfortunately, that will not prove as easy as it sounds, as the differences which divide them prove difficult to overcome and outside forces conspire to keep them apart. Most challenging of all, however, may be the game itself, which seems to have taken an unprecedented interest in the pair—all in the name of correcting the mistakes of the past before humanity loses its chance at a future.
