The world of Leight is about to be dropped into a war it doesn't understand. The attackers have no nation, no clear goal, they have no strongholds and take no prisoners. None of that should be Pvau's problem. He isn't a soldier or an errant. He works at the observatory! He never stopped to think what the role of a professional watcher might be during a time of war. Dark Design is a LitRPG that follows Pvau, a trainee astronomer, from his Inspiration, through his reluctant involvement in the war that engulfs his homeland.
