"“Lord of fools and the deluded, of the dead and the forgotten.”
For Matt, the true cost of this never-ending war has come home to roost. Not just the loss of distant lands and semi-sentient units but the loss of a friend, a Hero. Now, his fledgling kingdom is under threat and he’s got to scramble, pulling units from multiple towns to do battle with cunning new enemies.
Balancing risk with the fear of loss – final, true loss – and the fear of failure, Matt’s got a kingdom to rule and numbers to crunch in a Magic Kingdom at War.

"One throw of the dice to win it all.
Matt's in trouble now. The enemy lord has tricked him into over-extending, forcing Matt's Hero to retreat in disarray. Now, there's nothing stopping the enemy from launching an attack against his fort, nothing but a few last wood elemental units and Irvine himself.
There's a path to victory here, he's certain. But it's a risky one, and after dying once, Matt's finding it hard to find the courage to roll the dice again.

"Dying the first time sucked. Matt's trying to avoid a repeat performance.
For Matt, joining Earth's last line of defense was meant to give his life a sense of purpose. But being killed and reincarnated into the battlefield chaos of a game world wasn't what he had in mind.
The world map is made out of hexagrams, the units are semi-sentient and his opponents have a head start. As if that wasn't enough, there's no instruction manual for this nightmare.
Now, Matt’s going to have to figure out how to rule a Magic Kingdom at War… or face annihilation along with the world he once knew.
Still, it's better than his office cubicle.

"Another day, another gold piece, another unit down.
Matt’s faced his first opponent and is starting to get the hang of being lord of his domain. Sure, it’s only a few hexes around his fort, but hey, progress is progress.
With a clear objective in sight, he’ll need to ramp up unit production, manage his gold reserves, and keep his two Heroes’ egos in check.
Just another day in a Magic Kingdom at War.

"Nothing beginner in this challenge.
For Arthur, climbing the beginner Tower of Malaysia was a way out, a chance to escape the grinding poverty of a future with no jobs. It's a chance to make something of himself. Then he received a Clan seal, became a leader by accident, and most importantly, became responsible for others.
Now he's finding his footing, cutting deals and making promises, fending off tongs, triads, and deep-rooted power players. What he isn't expecting is that his designation as a Clan Head means something to the Tower too.
All his research, all his planning, is going to go out the window as he faces the final challenge. One made all the more difficult by his new role.
Good news though, if he survives, there's a lot to be gained.
If he survives."

With magic comes mayhem.
