Nullform

In this world, everyone starts with no memory and no recollection of their past life. In this world, you have nothing-even your limbs are rented, and you'll have to pay up every day. In this world, you must complete tasks assigned to you by the System or be fined and stripped of everything, including your arms and legs. In this world, you're under unrelenting supervision. But in dark corners hidden from the System's watchful eye, violence, brutality, and lawlessness abound. In this world, you're assigned a number. You're a volitional Nullform. Now it's up to you to adapt to this reality and try to survive without ending up crippled. Just don't mess up, or you'll be wishing you were dead as you dig yourself deeper into an endless pit of debt. This world will not take pity on you. You'll have to work tirelessly to earn the right to live another day...

In any world, even the most terrible, survival is possible if you have a plan and stick rigidly to it, if you aspire to achieve your goal without looking back, and most importantly, if you do not settle for the small, but constantly strive toward the large. Number 11 was once regarded by the inhabitants of the Outskirts as an easy target who would not survive a single day. Now the name of Elb is uttered with fear and respect. And those who previously considered themselves the top dogs in that district now keep their own counsel concerning him, for the simple reason that the dead do not speak. The system is harsh but fair, and if you are determined to move forward and raise your level, you will have to grab every opportunity. But to become the new "king of the Outskirts" is too small a goal, and besides, sooner or later you will be eaten by other, bigger predators. The time has come to venture into places given a wide berth by others due to their perennial fear.

By now Elb is the talk of the entire Outskirts. Just imagine-he can venture into places that most locals won't even dare go near. He has, after all, passed through the terrifying Stagnant Cesspool like a knife through butter, doing justice on its vile inhabitants. And now he joins the ranks of those regarded with favor by the System, being promoted for achievement, and receiving bonuses and access to new goodies. However, our hero's plans do not include hanging around this dump. He and his unit, recently expanded to the tune of one fighter, are headed to Drainagetown-a place teaming with even stronger groups. Capitulation to the strong of this world is against his rules, as is ignoring what repulses him. The cannibals residing in the swamp known as The Stink, who snatch people and trade their flesh, are unaware that in crossing Elb's path, they are inviting problems. At the same time, our hero continues to unravel the knot of the unknown, to figure out the nature of the world he finds himself in, and with the aid of memback, he is beginning to recall fragments of his previous life. And it may be that he was not such a good boy back then...

If you are at the very bottom, you should not be thinking about hanging on tight so as not to fall any further, but about climbing higher. Step by step, but higher. There is no other way in this cruel world. Elb and his team know this, and their path leads upwards, towards those who look down on Drainagetown from a height and spit on the heads of its inhabitants. They call themselves the Spiders, and they do not allow strangers into their domain. Yet if your timing is right, it is possible to take a sure step upwards. Mind you, it is only a step, for Elb is not planning to stop. His aim is to discover the secrets of this world and understand why he was created. Memories. They are coming back to our hero more frequently now, with snatches of his past life, but so far with no answers to his questions. Yet come what may, Elb will get his answers, and he will go to any lengths to achieve his aim. And those who stand in his way will drown in their own blood.

Striving for the top is the path of the strongest. If you are not moving upward, sooner or later you will tumble back to the bottom. Elb has long understood that life in a cage, and among the scum, is not for him. He cares not for his new, higher position in stinky Drainagetown. The hero wants to find a way out of the steel labyrinth. But even if he makes it, what awaits him on the other side of the steel walls? Elb and his squad of goblins are about to receive the answer not only to this, but also to other questions. The squad has been through much together, and maintained its unity, but will it always be this way? For not everyone is prepared to go to any length to achieve the desired goal, especially if it is the goal of the goblin Elb, who will stop at nothing, and is prepared for any sacrifice.

The upward journey is always tough. The higher you climb, the stronger, smarter, and more savage the enemy. And nobody is insured against loss. Elb's tight-knit combat unit has lost a number of fighters. Loyal comrades-in-arms decided to leave the squad, just as it was entering a zone full of deadly dangerous beasties; a time when a fighting disposition and unfailing support were needed like never before. Will these losses affect Elb's desire to soldier on? No, they will not. Nothing but death will break the fighter goblin Elb's resolve to keep moving. His only thought is how to recoup his losses and continue his journey. Up ahead tower the grim walls of Zombieland, which clearly bode no good for Elb's group as they march tenaciously onward...

Zombieland is fiendish and dangerous. The place that has gobbled up many, leaving only ground bones, draws Elb and his team ever deeper into its decaying bowels. Doing battle with eternally hungry beasts who were once people, Elb is fast gaining status, as well as the respect of other zombie hunters. Zombieland, however, is capable of stopping and killing even the most deadly of hunters. This time around, the system provides the impossible Blue Light task, whose coordinates are given as: Room Number 191-28 Pain. Nobody has ever reached the room, and everybody to have received the task has disappeared without trace in spine-chilling Zombieland. The system's Blue Light task may not be refused, and is a black spot of death for anyone, but the tenacious Elb accepts it unwaveringly, knowing it is another step forwards and upwards, and therefore another step towards the answers to many secrets.

Laid out before you is a harsh and cheerless world, where all the shots are called by the omnipresent System. The inhabitants live in gloomy corridors with no ends in sight, appearing here not only with no memory, but also totally deprived of their limbs. They are all "volitional nullforms," meaning that they agreed to this fate, and despite no one remembering when or why they did so, they all strive to survive at any cost. Number 11, known to all as Elb, has no intention of eking out a miserable existence, wanting instead to understand what is going on. Having begun by restoring order in their native outskirt, he and his team progress ever further, crushing their enemies and earning points from the System. In Book 8, Elb remains faithful to his calling in Zombieland. He may succeed where hitherto nobody has succeeded and complete the Blue Light mission. On the way, Elb contemplates the next location, Crontown, legendary city of true heroes. In the meantime, appearing unexpectedly on the horizon are some folks who sometime quit Elb's squad. How their reunion pans out, and how the story unfurls, will be revealed to you in this book.

Before us lies a harsh and dismal world in which the entire show is run by the omnipresent System. The people live in gloomy endless corridors, and they appear here not only devoid of memory, but also completely deprived of their limbs. They are all "volitional nullforms," which is to say they supposedly agreed to this fate. Nobody remembers when or why it happened, but everyone strives to survive at any cost. However, Elb, a.k.a. number eleven, does not intend to continue leading this miserable existence, and wants to understand why things are the way they are. Having restored order in his native Outskirts, he and his team march ever onwards, destroying their foes and amassing points from the System. This tenth book concludes the cycle, shedding light on the secret of Elb's fate, as well as many mysteries of the world he finds himself in. In order for this to happen, the hero must reach the Tower and come face to face with the First Higher. But is Elb ready to discover what is capable of upending all his perceptions of this world? And what consequences will there be? Only after listening to the final book of the series will you learn the answers to these questions.

Before us lies a grim dog-eat-dog world, where all the shots are called by the omnipresent System. The inhabitants live in endless gloomy corridors, and they appear here not only lacking memory, but also completely limbless. They are "volitional nullforms," meaning that supposedly their fate was consensual. Nobody remembers when or why it happens, but everyone must try to survive at any cost. Our hero is number eleven, known to everyone as Elb. He does not intend to drag out his pathetic existence any further, wanting instead to investigate what's happening. Since restoring order in his own suburb, he and his team are now marching ever onward, steamrolling over enemies and accumulating points from the System. Book nine sees Elb and his crew rolling on towards Crontown and their first encounter with those known as the elves. The elves inhabit the top rungs of the local hierarchy, and are precisely who our hero is so keen to meet. And besides, the secrets of the creation of this world are gradually being revealed to Elb, and his personal goals are becoming more tangible. That said, these revelations are no few in number.
