A new age dawns!!! The Book of Remaking is finally opened, and the most powerful spell ever created is cast! The new reality is made in the image of its caster, but who will it be? Willy Little, the new Maestro? The Demon King? the evil Elvish Lord Rygol? Whoever it is, reality will never be the same….
Description: End of story arc! The Book of Remaking has been opened and its spell cast; all of creation has been undone and all that is left is the great stillness of Emptiness… and Mardok. But something stirs in the dark. Something with over ten hours of battery life.
