What could be stronger and more treacherous than chance? Perhaps only a chain of coincidences—and that’s a dangerous thing. Imagine this: you’re a combat diver; through blood and sweat you almost reach perfection. Then a coincidence— and you’re in a wheelchair, and your whole familiar life, as if erased with a rubber eraser.
You want to leave life—don’t even try. After all, the next coincidence awaits you: voilà, you’re already in a top-secret bunker, a volunteer subject, together with lab rats. It seems, well, that’s it—enough— but no, a chain is a chain: put it on—carry it. And hello, the New World of Stix!
Can Mikhail Voinov, with his immobilized legs, nicknamed the Snake, break that chain and become the executioner-messiah in this world? Only Stix knows—and perhaps the Pythia from the Cape of Bakans.
