''Erebos'' is a young adult novel written by Austrian author Ursula Poznanski. Nick, a teenaged boy, is a normal student at a school in London when a game called "Erebos" starts being passed between students. Everyone who has the game is very silent about it, and before it's passed to somebody else, said person has to promise not to tell anyone else about it. The rules of the game are very strict: Don't talk about it, only copy it when the game tells you to, and you only have one chance at playing. If you die ingame or break a rule, you can not join again.
When Nick starts the game, it at first looks like a typical fantasy RPG. However, he soon notices that the [=NPCs=] reply much more realistically than in other games, including the ability to answer logically to questions the player asks them. Aside from the ingame quests, in order to reach the next level, the player is tasked with something to do in the real world, and is unable to play until said task is completed.

!! Erebos contains examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Nick isn't too fond of Brynne, who has a very obvious crush on him. [[spoiler:He is tasked to go on a date with her by the Messenger.]]
* AdultFear: Many students who get hooked on the game stop coming to school, causing one of the teachers to worry about just what exactly is passed around.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The tasks for Nick include carrying a box from one place to another, taking a girl out on a date, and [[spoiler:poisoning his teacher]].
* ArtificialIntelligence: The [=NPCs=] and the game itself, reacts so realistically one might doubt it's all just programmed. [[spoiler:There is, in fact, nothing supernatural going on, only some very advanced AI programming.]]
* CharacterLevel: A new player starts at Level 1. To reach the next level, you either need to battle an opponent in the arena, or do an out of game task for the Messenger.
* DeepImmersionGaming: When Nick plays, the POV shifts to Sarius, Nick's ingame character.
* DigitalAvatar: The ingame character is fully customizable. One player actively models his character after Nick and names it LordNick.
* IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: One character in Erebos is named "[=LordNick=]" and looks like Nick does out of game. [[spoiler:In the end, it's revealed the character belongs to a boy from Nick's class who looks up to him a lot.]]
* LevelDrain: Can happen by battling other players. Both decide what they duel for, usually levels and gold; the winner takes it from the loser.
* RareRandomDrop: Wish crystals. They can be used to ask the Messenger for almost anything, and are '''not''' limited to in-game wishes.
