A city under siege, a hero overwhelmed—the mysterious game governing the world is only getting wilder in the second book of this thrilling LitRPG adventure.

Nate Mercer—better known as Loophole—has outlived the chaos of Infinite Ascension’s Phase One, becoming something greater than a mere street-level fighter. Armed with a complex skill set and pure luck, he’s now diving deeper into the game to expose and destroy one of the insidious developers trying to control it.

But reality has never been so fractured. Superpowers abound, dictated by an insane AI and a megalomaniacal tech Augment who calls himself the Clockwork Tyrant. Not only has he laid siege to New York with a robotic army; he’s also imprisoned hundreds of thousands of hostages in bunkers throughout the city. And with the stronger, more experienced Augments already eliminated, it’s up to Loophole and his new team to stop him.

Setting up a base in Central Park, they form Fortune’s Cadence, an invaluable alliance including a brilliant technician; a ferocious brawler; and Loophole’s calming healer, Swansong. But as they train their otherworldly abilities and devise an attack strategy, a far more personal threat shadows Loophole: An unexpected avenger from his past is back, and he’s willing to burn down the entire game to take Loophole down with it.

Now, to defeat these supervillains and restore peace to his devastated home, Loophole will need to keep his friends alive amidst the coming onslaught—or risk being forever changed by the true cost of playing hero . . .

The second volume of the hit LitRPG adventure series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available in paperback, ebook, and audiobook!
