The world of Awaken Online has been reborn. Ancient avatars and their cities have returned, unleashing chaos and armies from the game world's savage past. Jason and his allies are beset on all sides—by the original avatars, an unrelenting tide of travelers, and even their own secrets. However, Jason is done playing defense; he’s done reacting. It’s time to take the fight to his enemies in both worlds. And that starts by using their own weapons against them, including the relics Jason stole from the ancient avatars. Yet nothing comes for free. Jason has already sacrificed his body, but to unlock his relic—to succeed—he'll have to give up something more: his humanity. This is Jason's crucible. Either he'll shatter and break... Or he'll reforge himself into something stronger than ever before.
