Before us is a world ruled by the Great System. The main hero, Erik, is a teenager born “zeroed”—meaning with low “Life” and “Energy” stats. This condition is blamed on the tricks of the evil spirit Bag. The outlook is grim: the boy risks being confined to bed forever. Parents who had bought rare artifacts for their son—artifacts that supported his life—die. Erik is left alone with this world. The second book of the series, the novel “Wastelands,” tells how he survived there where stronger ones died.
In the third book, Erik’s adventures continue. What once was considered his flaw has turned into a huge advantage. The dangerous events he went through hardened him and made him stronger. Now he intends to learn about the mysterious fate of his older brother. Meanwhile, the hero increasingly encounters the legacy of the hunters’ Order of Monsters. Erik realizes that the game he’s been pulled into is far more dangerous than it seemed…
