Power. Loyalty. And a choice that could destroy everything Gareth Fain has built.
Gareth has found his place in RealWorld Online—trusted allies, hard-won skills, and now an ancient inheritance that could change everything. The crumbling guildhall of humanity's forgotten past is his by right, but claiming it means finding the legendary guildstone that will restore its power.
The problem? Two quests. Two masters. Two very different outcomes.
The guildstone could unlock his legacy and give him the stronghold he needs to protect his friends. But the city's ruthless leader—a figure whose reign of terror has solidified his absolute power—has other plans for that stone. Cross him, and Gareth won't just face exile from the city. He'll face war.
Every ally who stands with him risks all they've worked for. Every enemy he makes grows more dangerous. And the choice he faces will ripple far beyond the game world in ways he can't imagine.
Welcome back to RealWorld Online. Where power comes with a price, and some debts follow you everywhere.
