When her friend's celebrity crush, in full Viking cosplay, sits down for lunch at the same restaurant, Aaliyah is determined to introduce her friend to the man. Instant attraction turns to anger, and instead of asking for an introduction, she sees red. Aaliyah challenges Vik, with his piercing blue eyes, on the meaning of his tattoos.

Given a chance, and a lot of charm and convincing, Vik hastily explains the true meaning of his marks. He invites Aaliyah and her friends to come see what he means.

Vik had already chosen to embrace his Viking persona for game-play when magic forced the shift on him.

Magical forces, using the power of online video gaming, are opening portals between worlds. That same magic causes Vik and his friends to shift into their berserker forms when called to do battle against invading hordes of orcs and goblins.

It was supposed to be an afternoon of fun and mayhem, but Vik realizes too late, 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.
