Power and glory and fame, none of it matters, none of it should, when one is faced with a challenge they shall either rise to meet it or fall before it.   A battle rages on; between good and evil, between a man and an army, between a king and a heretic; two forces opposed with the crown at stake. Many fall and many die, as he charges across the field, friends and foes all fall before him until at last he stands alone at the foot of the hill. And there he finds the final boss rallied against him. That was the day he lost, he lost everything; and in the end nothing changed... Well that's not quite true. Rowan Cloud collapses before his computer, after suffering defeat on the virtual battle field during a global event; and when he wakes he finds himself trapped within the game he once knew.   Not cliched enough? Well every other players who had scored within the top fifty positions on their respective server are in the same predicament. But unlike everyone else, Rowan or as he is now known Coughin is left with nothing; no friends, no family, no allies, aid. He'd faced that challenge once before: he'd raised himself from nothing to heights greater than he could have dreamed; now he must do it again but this time it isn't a game.   Let us see how he shall fare.
