What if the key you’re searching for isn’t what you expect?
Or was never meant to be found?

Inspired by the familiar command to “press any key,” this anthology gathers stories of quests where the treasure is uncertain, the rules are unclear, and the outcome is never guaranteed.

Across genres and worlds, writers explore searches for power, truth, survival, compassion, and meaning. Sometimes on Earth, sometimes far beyond it.

In Search for the Any Key, jungles conceal deadly secrets, frozen landscapes test the heart, technology reshapes human desire, and myth walks quietly beside the modern world.

Some seekers uncover riches. Others find loss, transformation, or revelation. And some discover that the real prize lies not in the finding, but in the seeking.

Open the door.
If you can find the key.
