Defiance of the Fall

Zac was alone in the middle of the forest when the world changed. The whole planet was introduced to the multiverse by an unfeeling System — a universe where an endless number of races and civilizations fought for power and dominion. Zac finds himself stuck in the wilderness surrounded by deadly beasts, demons, and worse. Alone, lost, and without answers, he must find the means to survive and grow stronger in this new cut-throat reality. With only a hatchet for his weapon, he'll have to seek out his family before the world collapses — or die trying.

Earth is crumbling from the pressures of not only the invaders, but from nature itself. Zac has managed to secure his island for the time being, growing into a true powerhouse through his endless struggles. But becoming the strongest man in the world comes with complications. A target has been placed on his back. Natives, aliens — everyone has their eye on the throne. Even the System itself seems intent on forcing him into one desperate situation after another. Zac sets out for New Washington in search of his family, while a powerful cult gathers in the dark.

After traversing the dangerous Dead Zone, Zac has finally managed to save his sister and bring her back to Port Atwood. But he can't relax — the foreign factions keep spreading their influence, and ancient foes have set their sights on Earth. With his newfound abilities, Zac joins the Limited Hunt to gain the strength needed to protect his family and his world. The System, however, is unwilling to let him train in peace.

Just as one threat is dealt with, an opportunity presents itself. Zac's forces have finally discovered the elusive Underworld, teeming with riches and dangers alike. Meanwhile, the armies of the Undead Empire advance on all fronts while the Dominators scheme in the dark. The warriors trapped in the Underworld during the Integration could become the key to surviving the incursions aboveground — but first, Zac has to deal with the golems intent on digging to the center of the planet.

The Tower of Eternity holds unimaginable treasures for those strong enough to claim them. With Earth on the verge of being swallowed by the Undead Empire, Zac has one final chance to gain the power he needs: the upper levels of the Tower. But even surviving the Tower's 81 levels isn't enough. A bounty has been placed on his head by the System itself, and the young elites of the entire sector are sharpening their knives. Meanwhile, something is brewing in the Mystic Realm — something that could change Earth's fate.

The Lich King Adriel is gone and Earth has avoided being drowned in Miasma. Yet an even greater danger lurks in the dark, and Zac is running against the clock. The Great Redeemer bears down on their planet, guided by Void's Disciple and his followers. All clues point toward the mysterious base built by the Technocrats — that's where the Dominators are hiding, and where the remaining invaders have set their sights. It might also hold the key to the mystery of Zac's origins.

The Dimensional Seed is about to mature, and the battle for it will decide Earth's fate. Urged on by the System itself, Zac sets his sights on the heart of the Mystic Realm — where the Dominators are heading and where answers about his bloodline may be found. But the followers of the Great Redeemer are not the only threat. The trapped factions of the Realm itself have plans of their own, and eldritch horrors are flocking to the Mystic Realm, drawn by the powerful treasure at its center.

Just after arriving in Twilight Harbor, Zac finds himself enlisted by the Draugr Catheya for a once-in-a-millennium trial in the Twilight Ocean. The rewards are exactly what he needs to advance his cultivation — but danger goes hand in hand with opportunity. Zac will be pitted against not only local elites but the talents of B-grade factions. And the Twilight Ascent is not what it seems — fate is gathering, and ancient forces have set their sights on ascension.

Chaos is descending on the City of Ancients. The Twilight Ascent is coming to a boil, and the Eveningtide Asura's plans are nearing fruition as powerful factions move to block his ascent. Zac finds himself tied to the asura's cause — and that's only one of his problems. Uona Noz'Valadir has stolen the Splinter of Oblivion, leaving Zac with a ticking time bomb in his body. A trap has been set within the City of Ancients, but Zac has no choice but to enter the belly of the beast.

Having escaped the Orom's prison, Zac has finally returned to Earth. Much has changed during his years off-world, with war brewing in the Zecia Sector. Zac and the Atwood Empire are racing against time to accumulate the power needed to survive. All clues point toward the chaotic Million Gates Territory — where the invaders are hiding and where Ogras is trapped. Meanwhile, ancient forces from the depths of the Multiverse stir, their gazes fixed on the desolate frontier.

The sector is gearing up for war, unknowing the enemy has already reached their doorstep. The Void Star will become a springboard for invasion unless Zac can stop them. Meanwhile, a mysterious inheritance connected to Zac's origin is rising from the depths of history, and the Multiverse's elites are flocking to Zecia. Zac has finally reunited with an old companion — but will it be enough to survive the gathering storm?

The war against the Kan'Tanu is drawing closer, and Zac can wait no longer. Only by stepping into D-grade does he stand a chance of keeping Earth safe — but fusing life and death is thought impossible. The Perennial Vastness may be the one place where he can achieve that miracle. The mysterious realm holds unique resources and opportunity, but the fifth pillar of the System is emerging and an Eternal Heritage is up for grabs. Ancient factions are willing to go to any length to claim the prize.

War has arrived in Zecia. Returning from the Perennial Vastness, Zac finds Earth already embroiled in conflict as the Kan'Tanu Cult pours into the sector. The System fans the flames with treasures and opportunities, using the war to select candidates for its trial. A strong arm and a sharp axe aren't enough — Zac must secure the resources and alliances needed for his empire, navigate the fallout of Leandra's schemes, and contend with powerful outsiders flocking to Zecia in search of fortune.

Years of struggle have left Zecia weakened in its war against the Kan'Tanu Cult. Peace cannot be negotiated when the System is in control — it can only be purchased through blood and steel. Zac and his elite armies are forced to the frontlines just as opportunity strikes: an ancient war fortress, built by the Limitless Empire, has risen from the dimensional depths. Seizing it could change the winds of war, and Zac finds himself at the heart of the struggle.

Zecia is burning. Years of desperate resistance weren't enough — the frontlines are collapsing, and scattered forces are busy saving themselves. Powerful outsiders have abandoned the war to collect seals for Ultom's imminent appearance. Zac refuses to give up. His plan: find the Centurion Base and use its ancient weapons to turn the tide. The base is hidden deep in enemy territory, and powerful factions are eyeing his seals — but to protect his home, Zac will navigate both spatial storms and uneasy alliances.

After braving the dangers of the Imperial Graveyard and overcoming betrayal, Zac has succeeded in his goals. The Kan'Tanu leader is dead and the Eternal Guardians have been unleashed upon the cult. But betrayal has left Zac wounded and exhausted, and time waits for no one. The competition for the Ultom Courts is starting, and it soon becomes clear there is more to the trial than meets the eye. Ancient plans compete with new ambitions as past and present collide — and the Limitless Empire is stirring.
