Crom Cruach is at war with the QCP (Quantum Control Program). He intends to destroy it and free Tathlum from its control. He has already hacked a part of the Shackles of the Domination to partially free himself and his group from its control, but he is far from having enough strength to bring it down. Until he is strong enough to destroy the QCP, he has to play the "game" called Primacy Online to grow stronger.
Deep within the Labyrinth of the Beastmen, within the Stronghold of Earth, Crom Cruach has found a sealed building. The building's walls are out of phase with Tathlum's physical dimension, making them well-nigh indestructible, and according to the beastman Seer Skjebnetaler, a teleportation array within the sealed building is the only entry to Skye's temporal prison. To open the doors of the sealed building, four Elemental Keys are needed, but in the distant past, the Elemental Keys were divided among four tribes of beastmen and had long since disappeared. However, Crom Cruach already has the Elemental Key of Fire, and Skjebnetaler claims to know the locations of the other three.
In retaliation for Crom Cruach hacking the Shackles of the Domination restricting the Abilities of him and his group, the QCP has also released the Rank restrictions on the other players and the natives of Tathlum. However, unlike Crom Cruach's group, everyone else does not need to understand how an Ability works to increase its Rank, they just need to spend Experience Points to do it. To retrieve the missing three keys and open the doors of the sealed building, Crom Cruach will fight and kill players, beastmen, and anything else that gets in his way.
This book is an excellent continuation of the story. It is highly engaging and a lot of fun. This is one of my favorite stores, the only reason I don’t give this story 5 stars is the author desperately needs to get a good editor. There are just to many mistakes and misspellings to ignore. The thing is none of the mistakes I noticed were grammar mistakes that would take a good editor to notice they are all just spelling or using the wrong word, so it just takes a person reading through the book to notice them and fix them.
