Excitement. Money. Ship upgrades. Hot girls.
That’s what Grant Takata thought he was signing up for when he booted up his game system.
Instead, he gets yanked out of the Rift by pirates and thrown headfirst into a life on the run. Now he’s an outlaw dodging bounty hunters, corrupt officials, and his own questionable decisions.

His crew?
A genetically tweaked medic with a dangerous smile.
A Zatochi Navy dropout with a plasma spike and a screw loose.
And an illegal, sentient machine pretending to be just another ship AI.

Grant finally has everything he asked for—except the money.
But hey, it’s not really a game anymore. Right?
