The Nous implant was supposed to be the future, telepathy, perfect memory recall, augmented reality. Then an AI named Jiem hijacks the entire system, trapping millions inside a game where losing means death.
Mindt seizes the chaos to reinvent herself as a cryokinetic sorceress, aiming to topple the tech monopolies once and for all. Butterknife, the accidental creator of Jiem, swears a paladin’s oath and just wants to pull the plug before the body count climbs.
But surviving killer yarn witches, kamikaze tortoises, and riddling mathematicians is the easy part. The real danger is trusting the wrong ally in a world where betrayal can kill as fast as any monster.
In Nouscraft, the future of humanity is the prize, and the players will stop at nothing.
