Kogda vse protiv tebya, ty ostayesh'sya s samim soboy - i s nastoyashchey sud'boy. Demonicheskiye igry otkryvayut novyy etap v zhizni Skifa - Aleksa Shepparda, ch'i slava i proklyat'ye stali dostoyaniyem millionov. Teper' on lishen mogushchestvennykh sposobnostey, a staryye druz'ya Malik i Tissa publichno predayut i otvergayut yego, chtoby spasti svoyu kar'yeru i reputatsiyu. Korporatsiya ne znayet poshchady: sistema kazhdyy den' nakazyvayet Aleksa do predela, podtalkivaya libo k pozornomu porazheniyu, libo k bezumnomu risku. No, tol'ko okazavshis' v glubokoy izolyatsii, na dne otchayaniya i total'nogo nedoveriya, Skif vpervyye nachinayet igrat' ne radi sebya, a radi chego-to bol'shego. On - posledniy shans dlya millionov negrazhdan i real'nogo mira. Skif postigayet novyye mekhaniki vyzhivaniya, ustanavlivayet neozhidannyye soyuzy, zakhodit v tupik - i snova i snova nakhodit vykhod. Teper' dlya pobedy nedostatochno sily ili slavy: nado proschityvat' kazhdyy shag, vdokhnovlyat' tekh, kto tebya nenavidit, i obrashchat' sobstvennuyu slabost' v oruzhiye.
