The end of a day is never the end for Russian Weapon's Engineer Vlad Nardoir. After death, setbacks, and victories in equal measure, Vlad's past is about to catch up, new enemies are on the horizon, and his future is far from set in stone.A Russian weapon engineer's work is never done. After dying, losing his soulmate twice, building elemental cannons and a sentient weapon, and knocking down more than metaphorical walls for the Crimson Alliance, Vlad is looking for a place to call his own: a crafting guild that will be able to produce the most overpowered loot the world of V.G.O. has ever seen.Gathering his personal guard, Vlad sets off across the monster-infested Storme Marshes to find the perfect power source, through jungles and sunken ruins, but the mob from old Earth haven't forgotten him, and Vlad isn't the only one with a thirst for forbidden inventions. He has less than a week to overcome enemies new and old, or his dream of a guild hall for all crafters will be lost forever.

Vlad has done a number of impressive things in his short time in Eldgard. He's helped capture an Imperial fortress, defeated a corrupted demigod, and created a Crafter's guild where all are welcome.  But Vlad's greatest challenge is yet to come.  With a timer counting down until the Vault of Souls changes locations, leaving him completely without a lead for its resting place, Vlad will need to battle against time, a powerful hidden evil, and his own internal darkness to destroy the vault in time.  Can Vlad overcome the mighty challenges awaiting him, or will he run out of time, and be lost in his quest?

The end of the world is not such a bad thing for Russian weapons engineer Vlad Nardoir.Really his world ended six months ago when his wife died, and ever since then, things have been downhill. Soul-crushing medical debt. Favors to the Russian mafia. Now, asteroid. For Vlad, this is life in a nutshell.But, in a wild twist of fate, he has found a way out. A chance to start fresh in a brand-new ultra-immersive MMORPG called Viridian Gate Online. Making the leap might kill him, but again, death is not such a bad thing for a man with nothing to live for. Even in the virtual world, however, old grudges burn true, and the past is not as far gone as it seems. He must use his quick wits, rugged persistence, and peculiar set of skills as a weapons engineer to make a place for himself in this new world, or be forcibly dragged back into the very life he fought so hard to escape.
