## Plot

It's the year 2051, long after the legendary gunter Parzival won the notorious Egg Hunt. BL00DSHED is a normal 15 year old teenager living in downtown San Jose. Him and a few of his friends, Walker, UltroidDestroyer, Enclaive, and 9inety9ine were not interested in the egg hunt. Rumors have been swirling about a mysterious network of hackers and ex-IOI employees that have been working in the shadows to ensure the OASIS falls back under the control of the corporation, known as the Left Hand of God. And when the High Five's avatars are suddenly locked out of the OASIS and BL00DSHED and Walker land onto a newly colonized IOI planet, the 5 friends begin to suspect something isn't right, and decide to seek answers themselves. Together, they go on epic adventures across the OASIS, and fight to save the reality that was nearly stolen away from them 6 years ago.

* 9inety9ine/Madison Reeves

A 15 year old South American-Caucasian(though not specifically stated where, hints throughout the book point to her being Colombian or Argentinian) girl living in San Jose.

She can be very insecure, but also gets very aggressive when someone threatens her friends, particularly Matt. Her avatar is a slim, lime green 3D girl, with a comic aesthetic, large anime eyes, and curly dark green hair. She's a very responsible person and hates missing deadlines. Madison and Matt have known each other since preschool, and have a very deep bond. She and Sophie are also best friends.

* UltroidDestroyer/Jackson Blackwell

A 15 year old Australian boy who lives in Sydney, but is in California to visit his friends. He is the voice of reason among the group, and prefers to think rationally and critically rather than jumping right into situations that are out of his control. However, he decides to join his friends on the quest to save the OASIS, as it is one of his only outlets he can use to communicate with them. His avatar is a large golden knight suit with robotic enhancements.

* Martin Sorrento

The new head of IOI after the death of his dad, Nolan. Like his dad, he is cool, calculating, and prepared to obliterate everything and everyone that tormented his dad, including Parzival, who he blames for his dad's death at the hands of a heart attack from stress.

* i-r0k

i-r0k is back, and he's reclaimed all the 10 years of shit he had stored in him by becoming a hunter and killing for sport. After Martin Sorrento approaches him, he reluctantly accepts, as Nolan was his old friend.
