To save his people, Nick must slay the God-King of Yensere in this exhilarating sequel to the hit LitRPG, Level: Unknown!

The plan to kill God-King Vaan and free Yensere from the effects of the frozen black sun is finally underway. Nick has accrued an impressive array of friends: the guarded spellblade, Frost; the world-generated fire scholar, Violette; and their bodiless AI guide, Cataloger. But they will need more help if they are to build an army capable of slaying a god. Hearing of a potential usurper king—one who can defy death—leads them to rescue a broken champion, Batal the Beast.

Free from his bondage, Batal rampages against his enemies, claiming multiple victories against the God-King. But Batal’s true motivation is a guarded secret and he won’t hesitate to use Nick and his friends to get exactly what he wants.
 
As Batal schemes, and Nick struggles to grow in power, Frost breaks from the group in search of her missing sister. As they get closer to the truth and Nick learns more about the incredible girl who willfully placed herself in the Artifact’s grasp, they’ll find that sometimes the questions you want answered most are the ones you’ll wish you’d never asked…
