The Gam3 by Cosimo Yap a.k.a. Ephemerality is a Web Serial Novel which follows Alan, a college student entering the galaxy-spanning virtual reality of the Game.The series begins six months after aliens show up at Earth. The robotic Enforcer fleet abolishes all crime, solves poverty, and hands out Capsules that individuals can use to log in to the Game. Alan is told at first that the Game was built by the Precursors as a virtual reality substitute for war, as attacking and controlling a planet in the Game gives control of that planet in real life. However, Alan begins turning up clues that this explanation is a lie, and the real purpose of the Game is a dangerous secret.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Gam3 is presented as a Video Game RPG writ large, with a lot of emphasis on game mechanics, abilities, and levels. There is also frequent discussion on the 'reality' of the game, both in terms of how detailed of a simulation it is, and how a player's actions in the Game will have a far greater impact on the real life of a planet than anything that happens outside the Game.Has a sequel called New Gam 3+.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Oh yes. Eve and Titan are bad enough, every other AI in the Game seems to have its own agenda, and that's not even including the integration of viruses or (possibly) the Game itself.

Awesomeness by Analysis

comment
Awesomeness by Analysis: Alan's AI Eve is dedicated to this, constantly scanning everything in the surrounding environment for threats and guiding Alan during combat. She typically expresses her observations to Alan as probabilities of different events. In many cases is effectively Prescience by Analysis. This becomes problematic when it turns out that using an AI as a crutch means that your own personal skills depreciate in rapid order. It then boomerangs when Alan's taught to do so himself.

The Alcatraz: That'd be the Abyss, sitting within what's probably most of the central planet of one of the biggest empires in the universe.

Academy of Adventure

comment
Academy of Adventure: New players can pay to attend academies, which power level them until they can be competitive in the Game. The original and most prestigious is just called The Academy, and takes up an entire solar system. Alan is lucky enough to be granted access to the academy through the Black Rose Guild yet the book ends before he enters.
