Aaliyah almost chokes on her lunch when a trio of Vikings walk into the same restaurant where she’s catching up with her best friend. Vikings? Here? Aaliyah wants to make a joke, but her bestie is nearly speechless. One of the men is her celebrity crush. Determined to introduce her friend to the man, Aaliyah saunters over to their table, but instead of asking for an introduction, she sees red and challenges Vik on the meaning of his tattoos. Blown away by the intensity of the stunning stranger, Vik hastily explains the true meaning of his ink. He invites Aaliyah and her friends to come see what he means. Vik had already chosen to follow the path of the Norse Heathen, and embraced his Viking persona for gaming long before magic forced the shift on him. Magical forces, somehow rooted in video games, started opening portals between worlds. When called to do battle, that same magic caused Vik and his friends to shift into their berserker forms to fend off invading hordes of orcs and goblins. It was supposed to be an afternoon of fun and mayhem, but Vik realizes too late that he may have put the feisty, beautiful Aaliyah in danger. Cosplay takes on a whole new meaning when Viking gamers have the power to shape shift. You don’t choose the berserker life. The berserker life chooses you.
