A true shaman follows their instinct! But is that enough to escape a virtual prison?
A true shaman follows their instinct! But is that enough to escape a virtual prison? Barliona. A virtual world bursting at the seams with monsters, battles and, of course, players. After serving the first part of his sentence in the Barliona mines, the convicted hacker Mahan enters the main game world and can finally start completing quests with his shaman character in the hope of earning enough virtual money for his very real release.
But with an unpopular character class and the jeweller profession, new beginnings are harder than they seem. A seemingly uninteresting, remote village hides suspiciously strong monsters and other clues to assembling the legendary Karmadont's Chessboard.
And while the big player factions try to grab as much prestige and rare items as they can, Mahan discovers that the entire game world of Barliona is changing from the ground up: the long-maintained balance of the “good” and “dark” empires is crumbling, new scenarios and game mechanics are coming into play, and NPCs are not behaving like mere NPCs. It seems the Corporation has something big in store for its players…
