Search Worlds Without End

A light novel series exploring an alternate ending to one of the most influential anime series of all time!

What if reluctant hero Ikari Shinji had saved the world? Now, at seventeen years old, he is the defacto leader of the EVA team. Under the leadership of Commander Katsuragi Misato, the Evangelion suits have been updated with advanced designs and powers, in preparation for the possible return of the monstrous Angels. Four copies of Ayanami Rei have been tasked with operating a global anti-Angel search-and-destroy program. But when one of these clones goes rogue, it's up to Shinji to stop her.

THE SHADOW IN THE SKY

Tensions run high as the black giant Armaros looms threateningly over planet Earth, armed with the mighty Spear of Longinus. The pilots race to avert disaster, but Rei Quatre throws a wrench in their plans by kidnapping Misato! Meanwhile, Shinji is confronted by a strange white Evangelion that looks just like Eva-02, piloted by a familiar face. Can Shinji and his comrades save the world yet again, or are the forces arrayed against them just too strong this time?

Severely wounded in battle with Armaros, Shinji struggles to shoulder the responsibility of being Earth's savior yet again. Meanwhile, Asuka adjusts to her strange new body, and the clones Trois and Quatre continue their quest for their own identities. But their enemy wields the power of a god, and it's going to take every single one of them working together to prevent a reprise of the Human Instrumentality Project.

APOCALYPSE NOW

A chunk of the growing moon breaks off and hurtles toward Earth, spelling immediate doom for the planet even as the Lance of Longinus continues to suck it dry. Shinji moves to destroy the deadly asteroid before it can make contact, but is felled by a horrifying, unforeseen force. Can he be resurrected once more before it's too late? Or are Earth's defenders finally out of miracles?

ONE FINAL DREAM

Sacrificing himself to shield Earth from the devastation of the Third Impact, Shinji's mind floats untethered from his body. He lingers in a space where time stands still, trapped in the moment of the impact. As Armaros swallows Heurtebise and defeat seems near, Asuka tries to use the memories of their classroom days together to wake Shinji from his new, shattered reality.
