Left for dead by an assassin I called a friend, I wake in the most unlikely of scenarios—stranded more than five hundred years in the past on the world of Akilo. Thankfully, I'm not alone. Smoulder was waiting for me, the little doom-bunny having missed me almost as much as I missed her. Turns out she's been tagging along with a figure straight out of Akilo's legends, the warrior Queen Uthica. While helping said legend with her quest, I thrive under her tutelage, bringing my spells to a whole new level.

There are a million things threatening to set my plans aflame, but it doesn't matter, cause time isn't just on my side, it's under my thumb. I have the ability to reset the entire day, and unlike the weak loops I had before, now I can revert the whole day until I'm satisfied... or the Mana-storm hits Earth. Unfortunately, there's worse waiting for me than an apocalypse—like family. On the plus side, my best friend Sab and I finally meet up, in Paris of all places. We'd both always said we'd go, but I'll admit, I never could've dreamt of the route that led us there.

October, 2042. In two weeks, the world will die, murdered by a nine-mile-wide, extinction-level asteroid. And Robert Osmark—billionaire and savvy tech-—couldn't be readier for the fiery apocalypse. Unlike the shortsighted masses, he's been diligently preparing for this day from the moment the asteroid first appeared. Through his relentless efforts, digital salvation now awaits anyone bold enough to take the leap and permanently transition into the brand-new, ultra-immersive, fantasy-based VRMMORPG, Viridian Gate Online. And Robert Osmark will lead this new world he has created.

We're finally scouting out the great Sanctuary cities, magical spaceships big enough to host a dozen New Yorks. We just have to figure out how to turn them on, and we might have a way to save the people of Earth. On top of that, we're ready to hit the world dungeon to kick our power up to the next tier. All in all, things are going great. So, of course, the M'tari declare war on the Aetherium's great sky city, Aethire—the same Aethire that has the world dungeon.

Having teleported halfway across the continent, we've finally escaped Ivicka's notice and are free to do something about getting home to Earth. Except none of our options are exactly simple. My attention may be getting slightly diverted by a certain K'tharn. But only a little. It's not my fault Rufka has style, grace, and humor to match. Even as Rufka goes to the Aetherium's capital to rescue her mum, we head to Glimmering Sands. A totally normal resort town, other than the fact it's on an alien planet and is run by a bunch of giant squids known as the M'tari.
