The ruined city of Oakhaven was completely dark. High above the broken buildings, the sky was a terrifying painting of dark purple clouds and golden lightning.

The giant, broken egg of the dead moon hung in the air. The Overlord’s black pyramid was gone, but the heavy, evil magic still pushed down on the world.

Inside the broken city hall, Commander Oliver stood alone in the dark. He looked at his right arm.

He did not wear his heavy combat glove anymore. He could not wear it. The black Wraith

    The thousands of civilians poured out of the dark hole and ran toward the hovering ship. Ramps lowered from the cargo bays. The people scrambled up the ramps. They were crying with joy.Oliver watched the green dots safely enter the ship. But suddenly, the entire blue holographic map in his mind flashed a violent, blinding red.BZZZZZT!A massive wave of dark magic slammed into Oliver’s brain. The pain was so intense that Oliver actually stopped walking. He dropped to one knee in the dead dirt of the Black Forest."Did you think I would let them leave?" the ancient, terrifying voice of the Overlord boomed inside Oliver’s head.The Overlord was not using monsters this time. The Overlord was using the planet itself.On the map, Oliver saw a massive, localized gravity well forming directly under Ship Twenty. The Overlord was turning the ground into a giant magnet. He was going to pull the flying ship out of the sky and crush it against the concrete."Oliver!" Billy screamed over the rad

    "You have four Anchor-stabilizer discs," Oliver said. "Throw them at the floating rocks above the magma. Freeze the rocks in place. Create stepping stones."The crowd of civilians reached the edge of the magma river. The heat was blinding. Bright orange fire boiled below them. The air was thick with smoke.Jax stepped to the edge. He pulled out the silver discs. He threw the first one. It hit a large, floating black rock.BEEP.The rock froze in mid-air. Jax threw three more discs. They hit three more rocks. A perfect, floating bridge was formed across the deadly river of fire."Bridge is stable!" Jax yelled."Send the civilians across," Oliver ordered. "But hurry. The Overlord has noticed your movement. He is sending interceptors."Oliver watched the red dots on his map. A swarm of fast, deadly Phase Sentries was crawling through the solid rock walls. They were heading straight for the magma river."Captain Ren," Oliver commanded. "The enemy is approaching from the left and right wal

    The dark forest was perfectly quiet. Commander Oliver walked through the dead, black trees. The poisonous purple fog rolled over his heavy boots. He was completely alone. He was walking toward the massive, dark Wraithborn Spire in the distance.His right hand and arm were made of smooth, black metal. Glowing purple lines pulsed under the alien steel. The dark magic from the alien coin had eaten his human flesh. It had given him the strength of a monster.In his left hand, Oliver held his silent sniper rifle. In his hidden belt pocket, the alien coin, the Key of Echoes, beat like a dark heart. Thump. Thump. Thump.Suddenly, the radio in Oliver’s helmet crackled with loud, violent static."Oliver!" Captain Iris screamed through the radio. Her voice was full of pure terror. "Oliver, do you hear me?!"Oliver stopped walking. He did not panic. He tapped his radio with his black metal hand."I hear you, Captain Iris," Oliver said. His voice was completely flat and calm. "Report your stat

    Purple beams erased the dirt, the rocks, and the trees all around Oliver. Oliver could not shoot. If he leaned out from behind the tree, the anti-matter would hit his head."The enemy has achieved covering fire," Oliver analyzed. "Distance: Twenty yards. Closing fast."Oliver put the sniper rifle on his back. He stood up. He did not run away. He stepped out from behind the tree, directly into the path of the charging monster.The Rift-Hunter stopped running. It raised its purple rifle, aiming directly at Oliver’s chest. It was going to pull the trigger.Oliver raised his right arm. He did not hold a gun. He held up his bare, black metal hand.The dark magic in his Wraithborn arm flared to life. The glowing purple veins shined with blinding light.Oliver did not shoot magic. He used the Echo Sense. But he used it in reverse.Instead of pulling memories out of the walls, Oliver pushed a memory into the monster’s mind.He squeezed his metal fist and forced a massive, violent burst of dat

    "How do we sting a god?" Miller asked."By destroying his eyes and ears," Oliver said. "The Overlord will send advanced scouts through the Rift to secure the landing zone around this Spire. I am going to engage those scouts. I will need you to coordinate the city defenses. Do not fire your heavy weapons unless I give the order. We must hide our true strength.""Understood, Commander," Miller said. "Ghost Squad is ready. We trust your math."Oliver turned off the radio. He looked at Lira. The pale ghost was shaking her head slowly."You are crazy, Oliver," Lira said softly. "You are treating the end of the world like a game of chess. You are one man standing in a dead forest. You cannot fight what is coming through that signal.""I do not need to fight it all at once," Oliver said. He squeezed the black coin in his hand. "I just need to fight the pieces that step onto my board."Suddenly, the black coin flashed with a blinding, bright red light.BZZZZT!The air in the Black Forest twis

    Commander Oliver stood alone in the dark dirt. He was surrounded by dead, petrified trees. The trees were as hard as iron. Their black branches reached up to the purple sky like broken fingers. Thick, poisonous purple fog rolled over Oliver’s heavy combat boots.Right in front of him stood the Wraithborn Spire.It was a colossal tower. It reached so high into the sky that its top disappeared into the dark clouds of the Rift storm. The tower was not made of stone or human metal. It was made of pure, twisting black magic. It looked like it was breathing. The walls of the Spire moved slowly, in and out, like the lungs of a giant, sleeping beast.Oliver did not move. He stood completely still. He studied the Spire. He ran the math in his head."Height: Unknown. Material: Condensed dark matter," Oliver whispered to himself. His voice was completely flat. "Defenses: Unknown. The probability of traps is one hundred percent."Suddenly, Oliver felt a sharp, burning pain against his hip.It w
