Roy Boss, the CEO of VentureForge Industries, just woke up in a different galaxy. He’s lost his company and his body, and the man who murdered him might still be alive.

First order of the day: Print himself a superpowered body and get back what’s his.

Weak in a world full of strength, all he and his friends have is their grit and determination to survive as they navigate this brutal, war-torn land of magic in search of a way home.

Fighting their way across Falritas, they need friends and levels like there’s no tomorrow. Because there might not be…

For Clive, death isn't the end. But with almost a year until his body is reborn, it is a dangerous setback.

Achieving this lofty aim will require sacrifice and hard work—for his followers, at least.

It took everything to defeat the feared Natom Hilgresh. Turns out, that was the easy part. Now the clock is ticking for Clive to return to Far Reach and prepare for the second coming. Of course, it isn’t exactly a Sunday stroll. Navigating unforgiving terrain across the war-torn country of Kalabri, the vast armies of Destruction and Justice swarm the land, killing everyone in their path.
