In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack’s aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.
But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.
A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack’s consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse-a magical one.
In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.
And now this new life-his last life-is the one he must lead . . .

Eric was born in a world governed by the Great System, in the family of Aren Bergman, a respected miner from Orchus. But the joy of gaining a son was overshadowed by the newborn’s terrible affliction. Eric was completely nulled-level zero and no characteristics points. The only things keeping him from dying were his tiny base supplies of “life” and “energy.”
The medicine woman who delivered Eric believes this to be the work of the evil spirit Bug. Due to the peculiar laws of the Great System, Eric cannot use experience essences or characteristics tablets, so he risks having to spend his whole life confined to a bed. But his father finds a solution. He takes out a large bank loan and goes to the capital where he buys a few artifacts of the Ancients on the black market, which have no level restriction.
Despite having the artifacts, Eric is still very feeble and everyone in town thinks him a freak. But at least he can move on his own and that gives the Bergmans hope. But alas, it isn’t for long. On Eric’s fourteenth birthday, his father and mother die in a mining accident. The bank takes their house, and Eric is left with no choice but to work off the remaining debt in the Dungeons of the Crooked Mountains. And so begins the story of a nulled boy’s struggle to survive . . .

A Eric Bergman le solian tratar como a un marginado, un tullido y un bicho. Algunos se compadecian de el, otros se retorcian en su presencia, mientras que otros aun se burlaban de el.

Y Eric aprendio lentamente a usarlo en su beneficio.
Eric y sus amigos escapan de la Colmena del Maestro Chi, viajan sobre la estepa de los orcos y a traves del Bosque de Piedras, haciendoles todo eso mas fuertes.

Mas alla de eso, cuanto mas se encuentra con la sombria herencia de la Orden de Cazadores de Monstruos, mas se da cuenta de lo peligroso que es el juego en el que el hombre-zorro lo ha metido.
Avanzando a traves de las tierras fronterizas hacia su ciudad natal, a pocos dias de la Horda de Orcos, Eric aun no sabe que su aventura acaba de empezar.

After wiping out the drak nest, Eric finds himself now also in a trap. In order to avoid dying in a cave-in, he activates the manuscript he received for defeating the Lady of the Anomaly. A portal then whisks Eric away to the lookout point atop the mysterious Citadel of Chaos.
The entrance to the Citadel is guarded by the Gatekeeper, a huge troll encased head to toe in a suit of plate armor. Thanks to his Friend of the Trolls amulet, Eric manages to avoid fighting him and passes the Gatekeeper’s first test and can enter the Citadel of Chaos to partake in its mysteries.
Eric isn’t interested in its mysteries though and he tells the troll as much directly. He even goes so far as to say he would rather just go on his merry way and leave the Citadel. But the Gatekeeper informs Eric that he will not be able to leave quite so easily because now that he has activated the manuscript, he must undergo a test known as Unity with Chaos!
What if Eric is able to pass the test? Will Chaos grant him power?

Eric nacio en un mundo gobernado por el Gran Sistema, en la familia de Aren Bergman, un respetado minero de Orhus. Este alegre acontecimiento en la familia Bergman se ensombrecio por una terrible enfermedad del recien nacido. Eric era totalmente nulo –de nivel cero y sin puntos de caracteristicas–. Y lo unico que le mantenian vivo eran las pequenas fuentes de “vida” y de “energia”.
La curandera que se ocupo del parto creyo que lo que paso habia sido por un truco del espiritu maligno llamado Bug. El “nulo” Eric no podia utilizar las esencias de experiencia y las tablas de caracteristicas debido a las leyes peculiares del Gran Sistema, por lo que se arriesgaba a pasar toda su vida confinado a estar en cama. Sin embargo, su padre encontro una solucion. Tomo un enorme prestamo en el banco y se fue a la capital a comprar en el mercado negro los artefactos de los Antiguos, los cuales no poseian limitaciones de nivel.
A pesar de la existencia de estos artefactos, Eric seguia estando muy debil y para todos los de su alrededor continuaba siendo un bicho raro. No obstante, el ya podia moverse por su cuenta, y eso les dio esperanza a los Bergman. Pero, desgraciadamente, no por mucho tiempo…
Cuando Eric cumplio catorce anos, sus padres fallecieron en una mina. El banco se quedo con su casa y envio a Eric a trabajar en las Mazmorras de las Montanas Torcidas para pagar el resto de la deuda.
Y asi fue como comenzo la lucha del nino “nulo” por su supervivencia…

Eric Bergman used to be treated like an outcast, cripple, and freak. Some pitied him, others squirmed in his presence, while others still mocked him to his face. He himself even thought he was born cursed by the gods. But bit by bit, all that changed. That which was once considered a flaw or defect transformed into an advantage. And Eric slowly learned to use it to his benefit.
Eric and his friends escape Master Chi’s Hive, journey over the orcish steppe and through the Stone Forest, which tempers them and makes them a lot stronger.
During his travels, Eric discovers that his elder brother never went to the Wastes, and that his parents were lied to about what happened to him. Eric promises himself to uncover the truth about his long lost brother.
Beyond that, the more he encounters the grim heritage of the Order of Monster Hunters, the more he realizes just how perilous a game the foxman has drawn him into.
Moving through the borderlands toward his home city no more than a few days ahead of the orcish Horde, Eric still has yet to guess that his adventure is just getting started.

For Olgerd, the month in recovery which followed his month-long full immersion stint in Mirror World may have felt like a single day. But while he relaxed in the bosom of his loving family, in-game events progressed in leaps and bounds.
The clans of both Light and Dark continue their lightning expansion into No-Man’s Lands. Reports of violent clashes between clan scouts-both with other contestants and local top-level monsters-fill the pages of game and multimedia news feeds as everyone is trying to win the juiciest morsels of these new territories for themselves.
Olgerd knows that the Dark players still have a grudge against him-and that their rickety truce with the players of Light might be broken at any moment. Then the valleys of the Silver Mountains will fall prey to new invaders.
Olgerd needs to help the Calteans mount defenses for their new settlement. Which means it’s time for him to get back into the game.

After battling the hyenas, Eric gets a notification that something called a Place of Power has been found. That is the only clue that might help him get back to his native world.
But there’s a problem. The system needs mana to calculate a route. Eric simply doesn’t have any and he doesn’t know when he will. That is because, due to the strange laws this world lives by, Eric’s mana supply isn’t filling up. But the Great System also exists here, though its laws are only partially functioning.
Having found himself in this alien and dangerous world without magic or the support of his loyal Gorgie, Eric understands that the kid who saved him, Badger, is currently his only source of useful information. That is a chance to understand and gain knowledge about this world and, in all likelihood, find a way to rustle up some mana.

The magic protection sphere which Olgerd received from the city’s invisible guardians is about to expire . . . The only way he can save the lives of his trusty NPC friends is by activating the Twilight Obelisk.

Eric has survived where people much stronger than him have found their deaths. And not just that: he’s managed to activate his magic supply, tame one of the most dangerous dungeon monsters, find the ancient city of monster hunters, and rescue Jay, the girl abandoned by the scouts in Gulper’s lair.
He left the Dungeons of the Crooked Mountains behind him. Now his path leads him to Orchus, where our freshly-minted mage intends to finally free himself of his debt-repayment oath.
But as soon as Eric and Jay descend into the valley, they discover that the local barons have been attacked by young Corwin’s men who have swept through their neighbors’ estates, pillaging and plundering.
This makes Eric’s task all the more difficult: he has to return to his home city without ending up in his enemies’ clutches. You’d think his natural cautiousness and the acute instincts of his pet Gorgie would make this journey a walk in the park-but fickle Lady Luck has her own ideas . . . Once again Eric is being pulled into a bloody vortex of dangers.
