Synopsis:
Disowned, disgraced, and doomed to be a farmer. Being “blessed” with a farmer affinity is practically a death sentence for Chris Sparring. It’s nothing close to the sword-wielding class he’d been raised to inherit, that’s for sure. To make matters worse, his twin brother receives the affinity of a sword god instead, and wastes no time funneling years of jealousy into an attempt on Chris’s life.
With nothing left to lose, Chris must find a way to make it on his own and avenge his name. And this “useless” poison resistance of his may be just what he needs to turn the tables!

But breaking canon is easier said than done. First, he must build up his strength and his forces while perfectly maintaining Zil’s imposing facade and… Uh, hang on. Why is everyone suddenly worshipping him as a god? Oh well, as long as it boosts his chances of survival!

Worse still, a fever has left her mute, unable to call for help or use magic to defend herself.
Or so they all think!
One quick attempt is all it takes for Liliana to shatter the common sense of her world, which dictates that incantations are mandatory for spellcasting. Now, all she needs to do is escape the grim destiny that awaits her. Though her foresight can only take her so far—the game doesn’t start for another seven years—nothing can stop a six-year-old armed with erudition and cheat-level magic.

Additionally, Electronic Arts and Battlefield Studios also issued an statement on Friday regarding an outage on the EA app, which prevented some players from being able to play Battlefield 6. As compensation, anyone on the EA app who was affected will receive 12 Hardware and 12 Career 60-Minute Boosters, along with full access to a seasonal Battle Pass for free. Impacted players who had purchased the Phantom Edition will receive Season 2’s full Battle Pass as well.
To clarify, this is a single Battle Pass reward but Phantom Edition includes Battlefield Pro so we moved the reward out to accommodate.
