Karna was just like any other comic book fan. He dreamed of fighting alongside colourful heroes and taking down dastardly villains. In Titan Online, the most popular VR MMORPG going, he finally got the chance to live out his cape-donning fantasies. That is, right up until he was killed by the game’s number one ‘hero’. A man who serves only himself in a constant grind for money, fame and adoration. Forced to start from scratch due the harsh game mechanics, Karna finds a new mission: bringing balance back to Titan Online.

Akio Prince is one of the best in the world at a dying art. He’s put a lifetime of martial arts training to work in the arena, dueling with pulsing resin blades and glowing carbon fiber for the masses. But winning championships is small consolation while his city is taken over by the Hachinin, ruthless criminals spreading corruption, violence, and debauchery across the east.

With Leviathan dead, Karna thought he could finally go back to enjoying the game he loves. But his actions have created ripples far wider than he expected. Titan City is vulnerable, and War Town is full of those willing to take advantage. One more so than others. Anastasia, the hidden Queen of War Town, is hatching a plan - a plan which Karna finds himself at the centre of. With a new team of powerful NPCs and an increasingly abrasive robotic assistant, Karna must decide what, and who, he is willing to fight for. A war is coming, and not everyone is immortal.

When Kole Reyna, Ember of Last Lake is wounded by a demon unlike any they have seen before, the Emberfolk believe it is a sign of an ancient enemy returned - a powerful Sage known as the Eastern Dark. With the tribes of the valley besieged, the land's mightiest champions rise up to meet the coming threat, but even the combined might of the last Embers and their elemental kin may not be enough to stem the tide of chaos.

The Dark Months have faded, but the light cannot last. For Kole, Linn, and the newly minted heroes of the Valley, their recent victory is short-lived. The King of Ember is alive. But the man who once led his people against the forces of darkness is changed. His mysterious path takes him to the sprawling forest plateau known as Center, leading him to the middle of a war between two would-be gods. Linn, too, is no longer what she once was, as the power of a Sage burns within her. Something Kole must come to accept lest it tear their fellowship apart.

Death waits at the Midnight Dunes, and some ride to meet it. Ghosts of the past have led Talmir Caru, Captain of Hearth to spearhead an expedition to the ancestral home of the Emberfolk. There, he intends to find one of the last Sages and see where the immortal's loyalties lie, and whether a silver sword and the will behind it can compel a god to fight on their behalf. Iyana Ve'Ran, living legacy of the Faey Mother joins him on this quest. While her wayward sister seeks to put an end to the War of Sages, Iyana only wants to put the world she loves back together again.
