Synopsis

After easily beating the Abyss of the Maze on its highest difficulty, Kaleb faces a new challenge…surviving his favorite video game for real! Even as a powerful mage, Kaleb learns things won’t be as easy as foes pretend to be friends, allies need rescuing, and danger is always a turn away. Armed with an insider’s knowledge and a magic hourglass that allows him to plan devastating attacks, Kaleb must save his friends and prepare for a battle with the Maze Master if he ever wants to get home!
