Months have passed since Tyler’s battle in the Main Branch of the Stormchasers, and factions from all over the Flooded City swarm to the site of Tyler’s old home. A trio of Adepts—each more powerful than the last—have been sent to hunt him down, but they’re just the scouting party.

Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given. His reward? Constant agony and six figures of medical debt. Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes up in the midst of alien ruins, barely able to stand and faced with a swarm of vicious monsters. He must accept a Curse just to survive—forever sealing his magic within his body and rendering most forms of power completely inaccessible to him. But with the upside of an enormous mana pool, Tyler finds himself thriving—even if it’s only with the force of his relentless physical might.

I arrived at The Obsidian Marrow as a Null—a hollow space where magic goes to die. I didn't realize I was the one who was going to devour it all. In a world governed by blood oaths and ancient lineages, being a "Null" is a death sentence. At the elite Obsidian Marrow, I’m the lowest of the low, a girl with a void where a soul should be. I was supposed to be a sacrifice—a battery to be used and discarded by the elite of the Iron Vow Society. But the mountain has other plans. And so do the three monsters who rule its shadows. Draven, the Alpha of the Shadow Beasts. He wants to break me,...

In this world, everyone starts with no memory and no recollection of their past life. In this world, you have nothing - even your limbs are rented, and you'll have to pay up every day. In this world, you must complete tasks assigned to you by the System or be fined and stripped of everything, including your arms and legs. In this world, you're under unrelenting supervision. But in dark corners hidden from the System's watchful eye, violence, brutality, and lawlessness abound.

The outcast elf with no magic will be the only one who can overcome a magical apocalypse, but first, he must embrace the very thing he has been running from.

Whenever your time machine begins to smell like this, you know you are in trouble. The readouts went blank, then dimly flickered several times. He ran a diagnostic sweep, but the screen merely flashed blue. Hours in the time machine simualtor made his movement instinctive, but no amount of training would reboot the computer in time. Or save him from the malfunctioning time machine. He wiped his brow, and began muttering to himself. Saint Eligius, protect me!

Before us lies a grim dog-eat-dog world, where all the shots are called by the omnipresent System. The inhabitants live in endless gloomy corridors, and they appear here not only lacking memory, but also completely limbless. They are "volitional nullforms," meaning that supposedly their fate was consensual. Nobody remembers when or why it happens, but everyone must try to survive at any cost.

Elb remains faithful to his calling in Zombieland. He may succeed where hitherto nobody has succeeded, and complete the Blue Light mission. On the way, Elb contemplates the next location, Crontown, legendary city of true heroes. In the meantime, appearing unexpectedly on the horizon are some folks who sometime quit Elb's squad.

By now Elb is the talk of the entire Outskirts. Just imagine—he can venture into places that most locals won't even dare go near. He has, after all, passed through the terrifying Stagnant Cesspool like a knife through butter, doing justice on its vile inhabitants. And now he joins the ranks of those regarded with favor by the System, being promoted for achievement, and receiving bonuses and access to new goodies. However, our hero's plans do not include hanging around this dump. He and his unit, recently expanded to the tune of one fighter, are headed to Drainagetown.

If you are at the very bottom, you should not be thinking about hanging on tight so as not to fall any further, but about climbing higher. Step by step, but higher. There is no other way in this cruel world. Elb and his team know this, and their path leads upwards, towards those who look down on Drainagetown from a height and spit on the heads of its inhabitants. They call themselves the Spiders, and they do not allow strangers into their domain. Yet if your timing is right, it is possible to take a sure step upwards. Mind you, it is only a step, for Elb is not planning to stop.
