On a different continent, commonly known as the dark continent, in a city run by Demonoids, a certain player had just re-logged into the game, appearing in the main hall of his guild, the Neo-Spetsnaz.
This player had earned the guild leader title through a show of force, and his participation in the first tournament EG had held for New Eden.
This player was Anton the Berserker.
He had earned this moniker after the tournament, when he unlocked a special class, Berserker, in the most circumstantial way. By being constantly angry, and fighting with friend and foe alike.
He had gained this class after an outburst against his allies, when they refused to obey him and raid the base of Paragons, which he knew belonged to his hated enemy, Astaroth.
After slaughtering almost his entire guild roster once, he had woken up in a hut-like house, alone with a large man, wearing a bear's pelt on his back, and was sharpening his axe vigorously.
