About
Webisode:Dark Matters, Part 1
At his apartment, Quentin Frady plays a violent video game called Evernow. Phoebe interrupts him, and he says, "Not right now, I'm in the middle of beatin' some ass." Phoebe insists, Quentin stops, and Phoebe demonstrates her ability. Behind her, a poster for Evernow hangs on the wall.
Brave New World
After completing the second to last level of Evernow, Ren Shimosawa gets a secret message with an address on it. Traveling to the address, Ren appears to recognize the girl he meets there, but can't place why. He then sees an Evernow mural on the door to Hachiro Otomo's study. Ren later returns and shows Miko the game manual for the Katana Girl saga of Evernow. Ren insists Miko is Katana Girl as they look the same and shows her how Katana Girl wants vengenance for her father and how the sword that transforms her into a warrior is under the floorboards of Katana Girl's father's study. Miko kicks Ren out, but keeps the manual.
Eventually, Miko enters her father's study and locates the Kensei sword using the Evernow manual. When Miko draws the sword from its sheath, she is teleported to Evernow. In Evernow, Miko fights and quickly dispatches three warriors, the last of whom warns Miko she will never find "him."
Odessa
Miko makes her way through the Bandit City section of Evernow, fighting off warriors and demanding to know where her father is located. After dispatching some warriors, Miko sees what appears to be her father being dragged deeper into the city before being set upon by more warriors.
Returning to Miko's apartment to apologize, Ren finds Evernow open on Miko's computer screen but paused and enters the game. To his surprise, Ren sees Katana Girl fighting enemy warriors and quickly logs in to help when Miko starts to get outnumbered. Miko eventually runs off towards Yamagato Tower, asking Ren to keep the warriors busy so she can find her father which Ren agrees to.
After dispatching the warriors, Ren follows Miko on the screen to find her in the street near Yamagato Tower. Miko dispatches two warriors and rescues her father. However, he tells her that they can't leave yet as they still have work to do before suddenly being yanked into Yamagato Tower by an unseen force. As Miko calls out to him, a third warrior knocks her out from behind. As she falls, Miko inadvertently pushes the Kensei sword all the way back into its scabbard and teleports to the floor of her apartment, unconscious.
After waking up, Miko becomes determined to go back to Evernow as she needs to rescue her father as he's all she has. Spotting Yamagato Tower in the distance, Miko recognizes it as where her father was taken in Evernow and teleports back in, ordering Ren to get back on the computer and guide her.
With Ren's guidance, Miko is able to reach Yamagato Tower in Evernow but is surrounded by guards. Miko sheaths her sword, but instead of teleporting back to her apartment, she teleports into the real Yamagato Tower where she is attacked by the guards.
The Needs of the Many
Miko teleports from Evernow into the real Yamagato Tower where she fights off the guards until Harris Prime beats her and takes the Kensei sword from her.
When Ren Shimosawa arrives at the real Yamagato Tower, he checks it against a picture of the tower from Evernow to make sure he's in the right place.

Game Over
In Renautas's research division, Erica Kravid and Richard Schwenkman observe Miko's progress through Evernow. In the game, Miko meets a guide who she mistakes for her father, but the guide reveals himself to be merely a creation of Hachiro's. The guide tells Miko that the "Master of Time and Space" is trapped within a fortress on the horizon. In the real world, Richard programs a cloaking system to conceal the fortress so that Miko will not be able to find it. The guide tells Miko that she must continue her journey alone, and he and the fortress disappear. Travelling back into the real world, Miko tells Ren about the fortress she saw, and draws its symbol on a tissue. They discover that the fortress's symbol is the same as the symbol of Renautas's research division. They travel to the real-world building, and Miko re-enters Evernow to gain access to the fortress. Its way is blocked by the Kaiju Bandit, a powerful character programmed by Richard's team who nobody in the world has been able to defeat. With the help of Ren, Miko manages to defeat the boss and enter the fortress.
Once inside, Miko is confronted by a dark version of the Katana Girl character. The dark Katana Girl taunts her as they do battle, with neither of them gaining the upper hand over the other. The dark Katana Girl tells Miko that she is merely a computer program made real, and that by freeing the Master of Time and Space, she will die.
Trying to rescue Hiro Nakamura, Noah, Ren and Quentin learn that he is actually trapped in Evernow, the one place where he has no power. Only Miko Otomo can free him, but only by sacrificing herself to do it. After returning to the real world, Miko decides to do it to save the world and tries to teleport back, but can't as Phoebe Frady is draining her powers. Quentin is able to distract Phoebe long enough for Miko to get back into the game at the cost of his own life. In the game, Miko uses all of her strength to decapitate the dark Katana Girl, and plunges the Kensei sword into the lock of Hiro's prison. Hiro is freed from the video game and reappears in the real world just in time to save Noah's life.

Heroes Evolutions
Brave New World
In the eBook Brave New World, Ren Shimosawa plays Evernow, reaching the last level after 46 hours of non-stop gameplay. When he meets the boss, he bows. The bandit leader instinctively bows back, and in that moment, Ren throws his weapon at the boss, decapitating him. Ren is amazed, admitting that the bow was just a delaying tactic since he had come undone so many times prior facing the boss. Ren does a victory dance and almost misses a message that scrolls across the screen. Ren writes the message down, realizing he is the first person in the world to get this far. Ren is shocked when his game shuts down, and even downloading a new game doesn't bring it back. He realizes he must follow the game's instructions before it will resume. The instructions tell Ren to go to an apartment, not to talk to anyone, and to stay off social media.
Notes
- When Quentin is playing the video game, there are audible sounds, but the game is never mentioned or confirmed to be Evernow. Zach Craley confirmed the game in an interview.
