I · The Main Plot

Where We Start

Back on Earth after the Tutorial. Jake has wings, a Pylon of Civilization that makes him the founder of the first city on the planet, and no interest in running it.

Major Plot Points & Spoilers

  1. Jake begins what the official blurb calls his 'conquest of the local wildlife', using his new freedom to hunt on an open planet.
  2. He 'finds his true Path as a hunter'.
  3. He keeps avoiding the responsibilities of the first city while factions and cities take shape on Earth.
  4. He befriends birds.
  5. Jake evolves ('adapt and evolve as his hunt continues'). The Book 4 blurb has him 'now in D-grade'.
