In the second installment of this adventure-filled fantasy, your local magician and his party are set to dazzle once again—with a devilish twist.
Former stage magician Max has been appropriately classed according to his prior profession. Unfortunately, a failed Soul Merge has made him a Demonic Magician. Now, with a trail of monsters and corpses left in their wake, Max and his party—consisting of strong-willed elf-on-a-vengeance-quest Ren and talking-grizzly-bear Wolf—have made it to the second area of the System-created world of Othea. And they’re up against the perpetually elusive threat of the Crimson Shadow gang and its mysterious leader, Lady in Red.
Max, Ren, and Wolf have found the beginnings of love and a family, so why are so many people still determined to kill them? Clearly, nobody likes a trickster. It’ll take everything they have to fight their way through the obstacles presented by the failing System. But as they continue their journey to defeat Lady in Red and bring peace to Othea, Max has another question: What exactly is giving him his demonic powers?
