Hal Mason's still going to find surviving the System Apocalypse challenging. While bringing in his latest fugitive, Hal's payday is interrupted by the translucent blue boxes that herald Earth's introduction to the System - a galaxy spanning wave of structured mystical energy that destroys all electronics and bestows game-like abilities upon mankind. With society breaking down and mutating wildlife rampaging through the city of Pittsburgh, those who remain will sacrifice anything for a chance at earning their next Level.

An diese Tatsache wird Mo Meng ein weiteres Mal erinnert, als das Namenlose Restaurant vor einer neuen Herausforderung steht. Magie und die Älteren, die sie nutzten, kehren in die Welt zurück.

Was als Möglichkeit begann, gemütlich die Jahrzehnte zu verbringen und ein paar Gäste zu bewirten, ist nun zu richtiger Arbeit geworden.

In Toronto gibt es ein besonderes Restaurant. Sein Eingang besteht aus einer einfachen und schmucklosen Holztür, die mit einem farblosen Hochglanzlack bestrichen worden war und versteckt zwischen Mülltonnen und einer Feuertreppe liegt. Es gibt weder ein Schild noch sonst irgendwelche Hinweise darauf, was sich hinter der Tür verbirgt. Falls es trotzdem jemandem gelingt, das Restaurant aufzustöbern, findet er eine veraltete und abgenutzte Einrichtung vor. Wenn man sehr großzügig ist, könnte man es durchaus als gemütlich bezeichnen.

Matt Fang has won the battle. He's got a new town, a whole new race of units to control and a lot of catching up to do. He's still stuck in this strange realm, one of the last defenders of humanity against an enemy he doesn't understand. Only contest. Still, he's got a job to do, even if it's not one he trained for. At least ruling a magical kingdom is better than punching in at the office.

Caleb Hanson assumed the most exciting part of his field trip scouting in Northern Minnesota would be a rare bird sighting. Instead, he was abducted by hive-minded hexapods and forced to be their children's teacher. Not the worst way to ride out the end of the world.

Now, he'll have to bend his values or watch his students die.

Given a chance at immortality, can Wu Ying grasp the fleeting opportunity? Long Wu Ying never expected to join a Sect or become a real cultivator.

Die galaktische Hauptstadt Irvina ist ein Ort komplexer Politik und alter, verkrusteter Machtstrukturen. John kann weder Ungerechtigkeit noch Bürokratie ausstehen. Als er in der Hauptstadt ankommt, findet John eine Welt, die ihre eigenen Bürger so ungerecht behandelt, wie sie das bei den Menschen getan hat. Jetzt muss der ehemalige Abenteurer entscheiden, ob er für jene kämpfen soll, die das nicht selbst können, oder ob er ruhig und friedlich seiner Systemquest folgen will.

Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance. Having to save the world after being reincarnated is rather enjoyable. In a soul-crushing responsibility kind of way. For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense in a magical realm might just be what he was re-born for.
