Walter survived! Sure, he's grown a couple extra tentacles and gained a few creepy titles, but he's made it to the Main Stage of the trials with both hands and feelers intact. In fact, he's now a founding member of the regressor's Abyss Guild, and his mind-reading AI, Noe, is upgrading quite nicely as well. Life's looking up for the fledgling eldritch horror—that is, until his meeting with the ominous Central Overseer.

After a brief stint commanding the halls of Hope's Memorial hospital, Walter has made it out relatively unscathed—and with a few lasting friends to boot. Now, all he wants is a cozy vacation away from the chaos of Site 1102, but unfortunately, things are about to take a turn for the worse.

Walter was a petty crook, struggling to make ends meet, when he was suddenly abducted to another world. One of many people from Earth drafted by aliens to participate in "the trials" in order to gain "ascension," he must now endure hazardous environments and hostile creatures, strengthening his physical and mental skills to superhuman levels.

But the “author” has other plans, and Eli’s first act of mercy gets him betrayed and kicked out of his own stocked safehouse.

Kyle has evolved from the person he once was, but his purpose remains the same: to find himself in a world that seems ready to chew him up and spit him out. There are people who are intent on killing him - not only for what he knows, but for what he is.
