This is a world where big politics are run by aristocrats, where trading corporations are served by superheroes, and at night gangs wearing masks and carrying techno-artifacts take to the streets. This is a story about a guy who finds himself in another world and becomes a hero-artifact. But his strength does not lie in creating cool things that will make local aristocrats and beauties go crazy. The only thing he does well is break what others have done. Ideally - to explode. However, perhaps this is exactly what the empire lacked to begin a new campaign in the region of Darkness. Author's notes: This is a book from the “Shards of Darkness” series, and within its framework any story can be read in any order. They are all equally important.
