Played into a Corner 2 is live!
Played into a Corner, Book 2 by Nikolai Novikov — Out Now!
The most reckless gamer in the world is back — and the stakes have never been higher.
In Book 1, he hacked the wrong game… and nearly earned himself a life sentence among the country’s most dangerous criminals. Lazy, shameless, and allergic to hard work, he was forced into becoming “entertainment” for a powerful developer. No grinding, no cultivation, no tedious leveling — his motto was simple:
Why work hard when you don’t have to?
But now, everything has changed.
Book 2 thrusts him into a reality where humanity is being lulled to sleep by endless entertainment. Mass unemployment, global conflict, ecological collapse — none of it matters to the crowds as long as they get another shiny in-game reward. Meanwhile, the world is heading straight toward disaster.
And he’s the only one who knows it.
He didn’t ask to become the most popular player in EndGame — nor the one destined to end everything. But until the final curtain falls, there’s only one thing he can do:
Keep playing. Keep surviving. And make sure the apocalypse waits just a little longer.
