Tyler Thorn worked all his life to rise above the hand he'd been given. His reward? Constant agony and six figures of medical debt. Now humanity has been abducted to the multiverse, and he wakes up in the midst of alien ruins, barely able to stand and faced with a swarm of vicious monsters. He must accept a Curse just to survive—forever sealing his magic within his body and rendering most forms of power completely inaccessible to him. But with the upside of an enormous mana pool, Tyler finds himself thriving—even if it’s only with the force of his relentless physical might.

Nick Summerland traded in the hectic pace of Seattle for the familiar haunts of his hometown, Silvervale. He thought the move would dampen his curse: the ability to see life ticking away from those with less than a year to live. Instead of relief, he discovers one of the cursed death clocks hanging over his best friend. Nick learns Silvervale has its own secrets, including a beautiful, magic-wielding Medium who sees the same things he does, and a portal to an all-women’s college known as the Ghost Academy that might have the answers Nick needs.

His solution to all of it: throw a Zone Faire. Games, monster trucks, a joust, friendly competition, and absolutely zero drama. That last part is not going to happen. Mrs. McGillicuddy has declared war on Jolene the Wasp Queen, the assassin is not going to wait for the pie-eating contest, and someone is apparently getting married. The harem keeps growing. The LitRPG progression keeps delivering. The chaos has fully committed to being unhinged, and this installment is the most bonkers one yet—which is saying something.

A violent confrontation exposes a truth Lucas never wanted to face. Opal. The daughter he abandoned in the name of severance.
