Arkadia is a world with a System. The System is built on the Skill Tree. Everyone understands the System but only Outlanders can see the whole Skill Tree. It's a slim advantage but Petra is going to use it like a lever to crack the world open.

A gamer from another world, she crafted a character for what she thought was a realistic survival game. She can scavenge and cook and make her own twine but soon the fate of two worlds will be in her hairy, clawed hands and this is not what she signed up for.

Come to think of it, what did she sign up for? The last thing she remembers before the "Welcome to Arkadia" starting screen was violence and darkness. Why does the number of Outlanders suddenly spike in times of war? Why do times of war in Arkadia always seem to coincide with times of war on Earth? And what, exactly, is the Source?
