Dawn of the Dauntless

In the year 2029, a mysterious tech company named Primordial emerges, rapidly overtaking the global tech industry.

Alongside Portalis, Primordial releases Dawn of the Dauntless, a VRMMORPG that promises unprecedented freedom and immersion.

Among the millions of players, one group rises above the rest 'The Heartless Guild', an elite coalition of the world’s most dedicated gamers. Though their name suggests ruthlessness, they treat NPCs with respect, believing the game world to be more than a mere simulation. Convinced that Dawn of the Dauntless is a gateway to another reality, they even form bonds with NPCs, some going as far as marrying them.
