Level 100 in a Level 1 Guild

Evan Mercer is a Level 100 Forgemind veteran in Asteria, the VRMMORPG where magic made monsters real. He has cleared raids and soloed dungeons, but his attendance record costs him membership in Hawthorn, one of the strongest guilds. Cast out with no allies, he must decide what strength is worth when no one trusts it. A new group of Level 1 founders may offer the fresh start he didn't know he needed—if he can learn to belong.
