Prisoner of the System
Ian is an inmate at San Quentin Prison when the System arrives.
The System arrives on the day of his prison transfer. Championship VR gamer Ian turns disaster into a second chance at freedom, reluctantly accepting the System's brutal demand: lead or die.
Transformed into a hulking orc and thrown into a deadly tournament to determine leadership of his cell block, Ian navigates a prison turned battleground, forging shaky alliances with rival gang leaders to survive.
Guided by Otis, a snarky orc assistant who mocks Ian’s axe swings as “lumberjack chic,” Ian battles mutated beasts and advances through the System’s paths. He must escape before alien invaders descend in six days, then reunite with his wife and daughter. But Ian fears they’ll reject the monster he’s become.
Ian must unite a crew of orc inmates, conquer monstrous guardians, and break out of the prison—before the aliens enslave them all.
