Teen Magical Realism

Everett Starner is a nobody. He doesn't play sports. He's not smart enough to stand out in school. He's not really good at anything except video games, which would be fine ... if they didn't randomly trigger his epilepsy.

He becomes the somebody he can never be in real life. It's fun at first -- his clan amasses top-notch loot and rises in the ranks. Everstarr makes a name for himself: Lord Starr.
