The Weirdest Noob by Arthur Stone, Mark Berelekhis, and Mikhail Yagupov is set in the Second World, a vast multinational online role-playing game where the usual rules of neutrality and alliance have abruptly collapsed. Former comrades now stalk each other like enemies, fighting over a seemingly insignificant, abandoned mine whose burned-out remains change hands several times a day.

In this mix of fantasy warfare, magic, and virtual reality politics, the most powerful factions focus their efforts on uncovering the cause of the chaos: an unusually disruptive newcomer, the weirdest noob the game has ever known.
