Castlebound Adventures: Rats in the Cellar!. Castlebound Adventures, #1

Bound for adventure, shackled to the real world. When Neil Blithe scored a coveted advanced copy of Castlebound Adventures, he knew his life would change. For the first time in his life he had a real chance to get on the leaderboards and make his mark. After waking up on a tropical beach and experiencing the illusion-shattering immersion, Neil finds himself on a low-level adventure in the earliest bounds of the game.
But when he tries to help a young boy find his cat things take a strange turn, and the game starts feeling strangely real. And when things start going even worse at his job than they had been, and he becomes the focus of his demon-possessed boss, Neil finds even more reasons to leave the real world for the all-compensating world of Enthera. Faced with his own weaknesses, will he have the courage to fight through the challenges? Or will the real world be too much for him?
