Luke Tavares has dreamed of joining the vast gaming guilds of the hypernet. After recently graduating high school, his parents have given him the same ultimatum as his siblings; he has one month to get a job to pay for his air, gravity, and water aboard the Dahlia. The freighter needs more hands, but Luke doesn’t want to be a trader-ship engineer. In Sphere World, he can mine asteroids, build bots, and make weapons to fuel the system-wide war between nodes. As a free player, it is his own credits on the line. But when his opponents are the very guilds that he wishes to join, he’s going to have to use every trick he knows to win.

Devourer, Ravager. Titles of a forgotten enemy, a distant memory.

Now freshly reborn in stark reminders of burning flame and blood.

The tenth realm has been lost, and Akran’s hordes of devourers and ravagers have been loosed upon the lower realms. Dealing the reclusive and powerful Imperium has taken a serious blow. It will take Alva, the Imperium, the sects, clans, nations, and city states to band together as they did in times of old.

It’s time for everyone to put their war boots on and put their cultivation to use.

Avegaaren Academy.

Where heroes compete, legends are born and the heart of the Imperium’s might.

Erik and Rugrat’s abilities will be pushed to the limit, honing their skills and allowing them to grow in new ways, ways they might not have thought of before.

They stand to gain more than simple strength, and more power.

Here they might learn the purpose of the realms, how it was formed, why it was formed and the three races that weaved their fates together against the darkness.

The eighth realm, the unpassable realm.

The eighth realm doesn’t stand as a realm onto itself, but as a question.

Why do you fight?

Merely gaining levels, and having a higher cultivation isn’t enough to pass the eighth realm’s test into the ninth realm. Find your truth, understand your reason, only then can you pass the eighth realm.

It might be Erik and Rugrat’s hardest challenge yet.
