This is the final, 9th book of the “Chronicles of Artar” series. It combines two storylines - about the Mongoose and about Eric, so that at the same time it is a direct continuation of the novels “Legate” and “The Scarlet Phoenix”. This world was created for entertainment, but has now turned into a strange and frightening place. There are no more admins here, no quests and rules prescribed by virtual designers. And there are no guarantees for players either. New Artar grows and develops according to its own laws, without the participation of people, and no one knows what to expect from it next. But some will still have to return there to try to fix everything. And to finally reveal the most terrible secrets of Artar.
