Leif Vin is mortally wounded and left for dead at the conclusion of a devastating battle.

So he does what any teenager with no more cares left to give does — chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology forced on him as a child. Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we're at it?

Eli Winters was never interested in playing The Shattered World — thanks to his deadbeat father Makaroth, the game's number one player. But when his best friend convinces him to try it out, a heat-of-the-moment bet presents a chance for retribution: become more powerful than his dad, win the bet, and force him to delete his character. The problem: Eli is six months behind at level 1, with top players already past level 100. Through hard work and trial and error, he discovers a unique skill that massively boosts his experience gains — with one catch. He cannot deal any damage whatsoever. In a game where killing is the fastest way to level up, he'll need to get very creative.

Bastion: the last hope of civilization. Bright, flashy, and dangerous. Heroic Wardens protect the city from monsters, rifts, and villainous Anarchs, while corporations bicker like children even during the end-times. The existential threats seeking the city's destruction are just another Tuesday — the Wardens, with their system-granted powers forged from broken myths and shattered stars, are the only thing standing between Bastion and total devastation. They were just out of reach for one wayward Stray who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now, with the OS having chosen them, it's time to claw back to the top — one rift, job, and monster at a time. Just as soon as there's enough drive to actually get out there. Picking up the pieces is just so tiring.
