Long ago, the universe stopped roaring with war—star empires’ fleets no longer clash, and planets don’t split under the blows of weapons. By the will of the Higher Powers, it’s now the Great Game that decides everything. Which people will rule the universe? Who will develop new worlds and technologies, and whose civilization will fade away—leaving only a line in the pages of chronicles? Everything is decided by the world’s champions: the players who face one another in battles determine the fates of their worlds. And by the will of a dead player from another world, you’ve been given a chance to join them—by stepping from our reality into the Other Side. There you’ll find treasures of forgotten temples, monsters that poison our reality, and quests left by the previous master of the key leading into the Great Game.
