Sky Realms Online

Sky Realms Online is the largest and most popular VR MMORPG ever made — until something goes wrong. Players are reduced to level one and cannot log out, possibly trapped for life. Hall, a veteran spear-wielding Skirmisher, decides to make the most of it. But he quickly finds that the difficulty of this broken version of the game is beyond anything he has experienced, and playing a game is very different from living it.

After barely surviving his first Boss Fight, Hall becomes the lord of a ruined and isolated village called Skara Brae, deep in hostile territory. He and his companions must make a long trek to the city of Silverpeak Keep for supplies. What should have been a simple journey through the foothills becomes far more — from raging undead to a gang war between thieves guilds — all while the threat of permadeath still looms.

Hall has started to make a new life within the game world: a village to call home, friends, and a woman to love. But he's still missing many resources needed to rebuild. A quest for an airship sends Hall and his companions to the cold island of Huntley, home to Storvgarde tribesmen and the Dwarven citadel of Axestorm Hall — where shipwrecks, stolen artifacts, and mysteries await.

Hall and the Breakridge Irregulars return to Skara Brae, but the rules change again. A new level sends them on their first dungeon crawl into the abandoned Dwarven outpost of Greenfire Depths. Hall will encounter prisoners from unknown lands, demons, and new foes — and discover that the Desmarik Republic, once a rumored expansion, is anything but a rumor, with designs on all of Hankarth.

Skara Brae is finally becoming a true home, but danger lurks around every corner. When members of the Greencloak Rangers arrive seeking help, Hall learns the Northern Territories of Edin are being overrun by corruption and demons. With Leigh and the Breakridge Irregulars, Hall journeys north to confront the growing Desmarik menace — and to find answers about a mysterious figure who keeps appearing in his path.

Since being trapped in Sky Realms Online, Hall has been tested by a changing game, demons, new races, loss, love, and mounting questions. Now, he and his friends — along with new allies and old enemies — will find the answers to those questions through the Onyxgate. In a contest between titanic powers, can there truly be a winner? And if Hall loses, is the fate of two worlds at risk?
