Infinite Realm

Zach was a respected leader who thrived in the post-Framework world — until the World Ender killed what he cared for most, and even his incredible power was not enough to stop it. Ryun, meanwhile, became the most powerful being on Earth by pushing harder than anyone else — and was called the World Ender for it. As the old world ends and both men step into the Infinite Realm, each carries a purpose and a grudge. One wants vengeance. The other wonders if a monster like him has any place left in the universe.

Zach and Ryun have both reached the Infinite Realm — the only two survivors of the old Earth, and the strongest Rankers ever to arrive. Both were dropped outside the usual arrival zone and left to fend for themselves. Ryun is now a Sect Head, ruling territories and accepting people's service in exchange for protection. But the old monsters of the Infinite Realm dwarf his former strength. Zach has joined the Wardens, a law-enforcement-for-hire faction, seeking information and a path toward the monster who took everything from him.

The grand tournament is drawing near — a gathering where every major faction in the Settled Territories sends its greatest members to compete. As people from across the world converge on the Tournament Territory, others make moves in the shadows, each pursuing their own agenda. For Ryun and Zach, the tournament is the place to test themselves against the best the Infinite Realm has to offer. But the Infinite Realm is cruel, and the beings who created it have their own agenda.

War has come to the Infinite Realm. Old allies turn on each other, an empire falls, and a group of people is gathered to fight a threat the rest of the world chose to ignore. Whether acting from self-interest or simple conviction, they are the only ones willing to stand against the greatest danger their world has ever seen — even as everything burns and chaos consumes the core.

Hastur is dead — but his armies and generals remain. While the factions struggle to recover from the chaos left in his wake, the Sects gather in hope of defeating the threat once and for all. In the fires of struggle and war, legends are born and the secrets of the Aspects are finally revealed.

Years have passed since the devastating war reshaped the balance of power in the Settled Territories — but tranquility remains elusive. The Domes, ancient prisons harboring horrors rivaling Hastur himself, edge closer to breaching, and the disparate factions of the Infinite Realm must unite before catastrophe strikes. Amidst the tumult, the shadowy Unchained maneuver in the darkness, and the mysterious Runesmith Ra'azel emerges from the shadows, orchestrating his own intricate schemes and poised to tip the scales of power.
