They thought the Enemy was the worst of their foes. They were wrong.

It was supposed to end with the saving of Fallen Reach, but that was only the beginning. In an apocalyptic battle, a nightmarish monster nearly took everything from one of Hiral's closest friends, and only a great sacrifice saved her life and soul.



As the party reels from the near-loss, one thing becomes clear: they must learn more. Ancient secrets have revealed that the truth they thought they knew was twisted, and they can only save their reality by uncovering the rest of what was hidden.



The Enemy works against them. The Fallen work against them.



But are they the only factions they must worry about, or do dangers lie closer?



The truth might be hidden in the Progenitors’ secrets, and those revelations could shatter everything that Hiral knows about his world.

…and about himself.

It’s finally time for Hiral to return to Fallen Reach and show his enemies just how far he’s come.

After saving the world in the undead city, Hiral and his remaining party members race toward Fallen Reach.

Their numbers are shrinking, but their power has only grown: at nearly C-Rank, they can crush armies.

Yet challenges still wait ahead, including a familiar Infested that hungers for revenge…and powerful Makers that might not react well to the Everfail’s return.

But Hiral’s enemies don’t know one important detail: he is not the same person who jumped from the islands.

The Everfail is no more, and he is going to show those who’d harm his home and loved ones just how overpowered he has become.

Hiral must grow before a sky-island plummets.

Fallen Reach is in danger, and only Hiral and his surviving teammates can save it.

Gathering their strength after the loss of their friends, the Builder and Growers race across a hostile landscape to save their homes and obtain the power they need to battle their nigh-unstoppable enemies.

The companions must survive dungeons gone wild, the hunger of the dead, and the wrath of an ancient power that was once the hope of an entire people.

Still, Hiral will not be deterred, and is ready to cut a path of destruction through his enemies and achieve the loftiest goal of all…

…to become overpowered.

And probably explode.

Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior. Studies longer than any scholar.

But all his people are born with magic powered by the sun, flowing through tattoos on their bodies. Despite having enormous energy within, Hiral is the only one who can’t channel it; his hard work is worth nothing.

Until it isn’t.

In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a special Access a Dungeon to receive a Class-Specific Reward.

It’s his first—and maybe last—chance for real power. Just one all dungeons lay in the wilderness below the flying islands that humanity lives on, and there lay secrets and dangers that no one has survived.

New powers await, but so do new challenges. If he survives? He could forge his own path to power.

If he fails? Death will be the least of his problems.
