This Inevitable Ruin

Strategy, alliances, intense battles, and betrayal—all elements that create captivating entertainment and even more thrilling television. Welcome to the ninth floor: Faction Wars. Here, nine armies, commanded by wealthy and influential aliens from all over the galaxy, compete for supremacy. To win, a team must seize and maintain control of the castle located at the heart of the battlefield. But this season introduces a new twist, owing to the efforts of Carl, Donut, and Katia. For the first time, the crawlers possess their own army. Typically considered expendable, these NPCs have gained full self-awareness, assembling their own groundbreaking team. The danger is not limited to the crawlers; every participant risks permanent elimination from the battlefield upon death. The stakes are particularly high for Donut and Katia—regardless of the war's outcome, only one of them will be allowed to move beyond this level. To survive, they must find some assistance. This war represents what they have been striving for. Looking for more suggestions? Check out our titles in the English literature category.
