A dazzling world of wonder and power. Gifts from the game gods for every person. The perfect magic for every user. Seth, a popular streamer, can’t wait to see what this new world has in store. It’s sure to be a blast for a guy who always plays a caster, and his friends are going to be right in the thick of it with him! The game boasts algorithms designed to read biometrics and brain patterns to find the perfect magical fit for the user—magic so personalized that no two casters will ever be the same. In fact, the game company is so sure they will always be right that you can’t remake your character. The unthinkable happened. The safeties and the guarantees failed, not just once but apparently only to them. The company has informed them that the system is infallible: there is nothing they will do. Players must use what they are given, so Seth and his team have no other choice—they need to grind it out and evolve their gifts in time to stream. Loading… Welcome to Mephisto’s Magic Online!

Aether awakening. Delving into darkness. Bonds of blood forged anew.Kyvir and his friends are just a few days away from Belgonna’s Hold. Yet, as excited as they are to take in the splendor of a new city, surviving the journey is holding all of their attention. The team has survived leveling up in the beginner city of Iradellum, fighting man-eating Hell Cats, and wrong turns with the guards. All of this just to gain access to Kyvir’s Summoning Aether. A little grass isn’t going to beat them.Upon arriving at the Dwarven stronghold, they find evidence that someone is attempting to summon the darkest of creatures into the hold itself. For what purpose? Unknown, but the thought of a demon invasion doesn’t scream ‘happy times’. Since the only person who can awaken Kyvir is the leader of the Dwarves, the Crimson Queen herself, they are forced to look deeper into the dark layers of the citadel.Loyalties will be tested, bonds pulled taut, and new ties could bind the group in strange ways to this Crimson Queen.

A shattered team. Demons dancing with glee. Blood will be spilled. Kyvir and his party have officially defeated one demon, with an unknown number to go, but the cost was abandonment by both Mona and Albarth. The party is significantly weakened, nothing is as it should be still, and the world is no longer as safe as it once was. Time to get killlin’. Kyvir’ll chase any path to leveling up and getting to his lost friend, meaning Emma and Sundar need to work overtime to keep him from going too far. Navigating deeper into this magical game world, he finds himself in the company of strange and dangerous new allies, but does he dare trust them? Even with a noble goal leading him, the path ahead is dark and winding… and each step brings him closer to becoming the very thing he fears. Chaos, terror, and trials abound, and a certain demon couldn’t be happier to welcome everyone to the Aetherocalypse!
