Everyone has a dark side, a part of them that they try to keep hidden. As President of the Black Savages MC, my darkness is a constant companion, one I embrace with open arms. But even I have limits. Sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong isn’t without consequences. And mine come in the form of a feisty author who makes me want to step into the light. Neither of us believe in fairytales, but something about her has me vowing to be the knight in leather armor who shows her what it’s like to be forever savage. Nova…

A promise made is a promise kept. Those words stayed in the front of my mind, reminding me that I had to go back down into the city, deep into gang territory, to rescue another woman. I had concerns about how well she would get along with the others, though. Gigantic mutants could sometimes be... testy. But on the brighter side of things, Hope was doing great! Our settlement grew stronger every day, with improved power systems, gardens, and finally some clean water. Our numbers slowly but steadily increased, as did our safety.

There’s trouble in the borderlands, and I’m the only one that can stop it. I’ve done my best to rebuild my home in the little town of West Hollow, settling down with Serena and Lynnette. We’re already starting to feel like a family, but just when things feel too good to be true, trouble arises in the forms of a vengeful war wizard and a pompous duke. To stop them, I’m going to have to ally with a gorgeous witch who still wants me dead, even if that means breaking with the kingdom and carving our own path. A man has to make his own way. This one is mine.

Three. It's been three days since the Druids attacked us and nearly overwhelmed us. I have decided to travel south to the ruins of an old Army base to rescue a few survivors there. One of them, a beautiful woman named Iris, helped us out with something special: Her melons.

The battle lines have been drawn. The peace in West Hollow was shattered the night Segovax attacked. Now wearing the body of the Duke of Midhaven, the rogue war wizard prepares to finish the job, unleashing his new army on our unsuspecting town. But we won’t go down without a fight. With my new ally Corinne and my trusted companions Lynnette and Serena, we’re going to find a way to stop Segovax once and for all. Even if it sparks a war that engulfs us all.

I thought volunteering to be put into cryostasis for three days would be a great way to make some extra cash. Apparently, the rest of the world thought it would be a great time for an all-out nuclear war. Destruction was unleashed on such an incredible scale they say the very laws of physics changed. Now, massive mutants roam the city, looking for something—or someone—to eat. Violent gangs fight for control of the city's remains. Strange, human-animal hybrids are now part of our struggling societies. And perhaps strangest of all, magic is now real. Yeah, I'm still trying to process that one.

For seven years, I fought monsters and nightmares across the continent as one of the kingdom’s last war wizards, forged in fire and blood. I’ve buried comrades, burned enemies to ash, and become something feared by both man and beast. Now at last, I’m going home. Back to my family. Back to a promise I swore I’d keep. But the town I left behind didn’t survive the war unscathed. A dark shadow has fallen over it, threatening to destroy anyone that stands in its way.

To avoid the traps of bias and irrationality and make better, productive decisions, we need to stop thinking in disciplines—and start thinking in graphs.Why do we feel confident as novices but question ourselves as experts? What makes some achievements feel more deserving than others? Do we really get happier the more wealth we accumulate? How do stress levels impact our productivity? Every day, we are overwhelmed by multitudes of choices and challenges—some clear and intuitive, while others are shaped beyond the scope of our awareness.
