Ekaterina Borovikova is a versatile writer from Belarus who works in the science fiction genre. She gained popularity thanks to her mystical romance series "Vyrai."

With the trilogy "Dark Times," written in the LitRPG setting, she participated in the literary contest "New Frontier," where she became one of the winners. We present in audio format the second book of this series.

The daughter of the main character gets into trouble and is sentenced to serve time in a virtual prison. To ease her time in confinement, a caring mother decides at any cost to earn money for an expensive medical capsule. For this, she registers herself in the virtual game "Dark Times," and her relatives help her assemble game videos to promote her own channel. But it turns out the heroine has bad genetics: her parents suffered from gaming addiction. That’s why they lost parental rights—this illness is what destroyed them. In the end, the game draws the heroine in more and more strongly, and it becomes increasingly hard to tell where the virtual world ends and reality begins. The outcome is predictable: medical help; a clinic for people with mental disorders.

In the second book, after rehabilitation, the heroine tries to deal with the problems she created herself while in the game. But how do that without starting to play again? The heroine decides to risk it again—hoping that this time she won’t make a mistake…
