Nathan-the apocalypse's strongest man with an inexplicable talent for fishing-has a problem with priorities. After being separated from his allies during the final battle of the first circle, he's trapped in the second circle-an endless desert wasteland where survivors have cobbled together a fragile kingdom on the brink of collapse. And there's something worse hiding in the dunes: the Dustend, a magical storm strong enough to rip through Nathan's Constitution like tissue paper.
The main goal is obvious: avoid the arcane tempest and find his way to the Third Circle before it's too late. But Nathan's attention? Thoroughly elsewhere. There's a dying city-state to save, with farms to repair (the blue window promised him XP ), political factions to navigate, and a gang war between magical fish that desperately needs his intervention. Will the countless hours Nathan spent on farming simulators back on Earth somehow save a people on the brink? Or will his remarkable talent for getting distracted by optional objectives finally lead him fish-first into oblivion?
