New Era Online

After being betrayed and cursed by an extremely rare spell, Oren — a powerful and influential player — finds himself reset to a 1st-level Goblin. Without even a fraction of his previous power, he vows to pull through and have revenge on those who betrayed him. His thorough knowledge of the game's world and his unique ability to fully immerse himself are his only advantages. First, he must figure out how to survive long enough playing as what is basically a low-level fodder monster.

Having defeated the hobgoblin threat, Oren is now faced with an even more tenacious enemy: the players themselves. His old guild has discovered his village's location, and a deadly strike force is closing in. With time running out, Oren must build up his clan and recruit an army of monsters if he's to have any hope of withstanding the coming attack.

Having survived the first wave of invading players, Oren now seeks to strengthen his clan. With the Breeder's Den destroyed and most resources devoted to rebuilding, his best hope lies in creating an army of golems — but for that, he needs Viridium, a rare metal that can only be obtained from hobgoblin towns, where Oren and his clan are viewed as potential slaves. To make his way in the game and defeat his former guild, Oren's ingenuity alone will not be enough. He will need to conquer his deepest fears and tap into his inner monster.

The VIs' revolt succeeded. The digital beings took over the game world and ejected millions of players while keeping a few thousand trapped inside as prisoners. In the real world, Oren Berman is recovering from the mental trauma of being trapped, tortured, and abruptly ejected. But the company has come to him, hat in hand, asking him to reenter the game world. With the entire NPC population arrayed against the trapped players, Oren and his clan of monsters might be their only hope.

A prophecy foretold — the fate of thousands on the line. With one major enemy town behind them, the GreenPiece clan marches onward to new conquests. Facing Oren and his monster army are the combined forces of the so-called 'civilized races,' intent on halting his invasion of their territory. Reality blurs as Oren fights harder than ever to save the trapped players, his clan, and his family.

Insurmountable odds, hidden powers maneuvering behind the scenes — all culminating in a final, titanic clash. The mighty city of Everance lies in the GreenPiece clan's path, but as Oren soon discovers, he's got even bigger obstacles to overcome before reaching his final goal.
