No game No Life 8 - Yuu Kamiya

 Challenged by Jibril to refight the Great War from 6000 years ago, the siblings known as "Blank" have to prepare themselves...



... for their first loss ever.

Jibril challenged them to the game, in an effort to show them she is the one that needs to win and overcome the Old Deus in the game.  But Sora and Shiro aren't planning to go down easily, setting events in motion in the virtual Great War that make it run a totally different course.  Atop his throne, Tet marvels in joy as these two aren't as strong as their predecessors, Riku and Schwi, meaning these might change the world once again... and not for the worse.

By losing as such on purpose, they end the Great War game and save Jibril, but find themselves back in the main game against the Old Deus.  As Elven Gard invades the Eastern Union, it turns out the siblings had predicted it all however and covered the bases no matter the outcome...

They learn more about the Old Deus herself, aka the God of Doubt, and her connection with The Shrine Maiden after they beat the game with the aid of Sora's trump card, the Siren Queen Layla and Steph, who was a fake inside the game, as the real one would never be able to betray them...
 
Another swooping instalment in the series, as the stakes keep getting raised on the siblings quest to oust Tet, and the sad realisation is sinking in I`m only two books away from the end now...
