In a future where noncitizens can only find work inside the virtual world of Disgardium, fifteen-year-old Alex dreams of becoming a space guide. With his family's circumstances forcing his hand, the game is now his only path to that goal. But after a Sleeping God bestows its power on Alex's in-game character Scyth, he is classified as a Class-A Threat — the system's designation for players with an unfair advantage. Now every major clan in the world has reason to hunt him, his patron gods are tearing him apart from the inside, and the Destroying Plague wants its Emissary to infect all of humanity. That Emissary is him.

Born with a rare, terminal disease that took away everything she ever had, Melia made the most of her limited time playing Fantasy Online — a virtual reality MMO where she could run, jump, explore dungeons, craft equipment, and build a living world alongside other players.

Destruction isn't on the menu. Melia would much rather roam around, make friends, fill her belly, and craft ridiculous items. But if someone tries to make her into the next dark lord, they're going to have a problem.

Monsters don't fear the dark. They fear Velik. Changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand, Velik is now faster and deadlier than any ordinary human — armed with a unique class built for one purpose: hunting monsters.

When a guild hunter arrives and seems more interested in Velik than in the monsters he was hired to kill, Velik is forced to venture deeper into the woods — where what he finds is not just a nest but a secret that could explain what happened to him ten years ago. Something in the dark remembers him, and it has been waiting.

Staying alive isn't enough. William will need to bring other survivors together and build a fortification large enough for all of them if he ever wants to strike back at the things that took everyone he loved.

Destiny called — and Terry hung up. Introverted computer programmer Terry Williams' life is not exciting, and he is A-OK with that.
