In the 40-second century, the cure for death isn't made in a lab, it's stolen from a nightmare. Spark is a biological narcotic that halts aging, but it refuses to grow in captivity. It cannot be farmed, synthesized, or controlled. It blooms in the twisting, lethal jungles of the planet Wesley, a world overrun by mutated leviathans that rule the food chain.

With the help of a team from a nearby settlement, the rebuilding begins with a focus on safety. Their healer, Jessica, is as beautiful as she is tough. If we could convince her to stay in Hope that would be a huge advantage. More hands means less work, and soon we had a thriving garden and four livable homes. With some help, I began work on a waterwheel that could power our new settlement. Next step: getting the plumbing working again. Things were going well, and life was simple and satisfying when we focused on the basics.

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.

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.

Life in the settlement of Hope kept getting better by the day. Iris's talent with plants secured our food stores, and the boys from Loch Raven our safety. All we needed to worry about was improving our systems, like running water. Except for one lingering problem: the Druids. When their leader promised to destroy us, I decided that I wasn't going to stand there and wait for him. We decided to take the fight to him—to wipe out the Druids once and for all so we could finally experience peace.

Trapped in an infant's body with the fragmented memories of an adult mind, Nondol must navigate a world of magic, political intrigue, and the daily indignity of diapers. His only guide is a series of infuriating blue quest boxes that offer cryptic advice and zero rewards. In a kingdom where power is everything, he is a Hexad-proficiency mage, a one-in-a-billion prodigy whose very existence makes him the property of the crown.

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.

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.

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.

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.
