In the aftermath of the events in the Romanian mountains, a new, galactic-level threat descends upon Earth.
Hatchet, Naginata, and Kaiser face an impossible situation. They must fight for Earth's fate in a contest of valor, with the future of humanity hanging in the balance. But they are not alone. Twenty-five anima-enhanced individuals from across the planet are chosen to fight for Earth, and each comes with their own secrets and hidden histories. New friendships are forged, and old enmities reignite. EDGE Force is nowhere to be found. Win the contest, and Earth becomes a cog in the vast empire's machine. Lose, and watch as their home is harvested as fuel, leaving nothing but void in the empire's wake. Trapped in this cosmic game of survival, Hatchet and his friends must navigate alliances and betrayals, where trust is rare, and deception runs deep. The reality crash is almost here, and time is running short. If they can't find a way to stop it, then their entire universe will come to an end. This story contains LitRPG elements including level-ups, skill increases, new abilities, and a deep crafting system.
