A tournament to name the best mage in the empire. What could go wrong when everything is carefully planned down to the last detail, and only the best of the best are invited to participate? The answer is obvious: everything! Once again, Maximilian Valevsky will have to save everyone to preserve the integrity of the empire. This time, however, forces far more powerful than anything he has encountered before have taken an interest in his affairs.

Hello again, it's me—Max the Selected. I'm here with my group of degen . . . collectors, "The Selected". By the way, we're already a Great Group. So, you can call me Lord Max now. Would you be scared to declare war on a Great Clan? Well, I'm not. I'll take on two at the same time without...

Maximilian Valevsky quite unexpectedly finds himself with spare time on his hands-time he can even devote to studying. Learning all the intricacies of runecraft, becoming Magister Meram's best pupil, and making his statement to the world! It all sounds like a dream, but reality is quick to put him in his place. Padishah Bayazid the Third wants to personally meet with Maximilian and our hero will have to do unprecedented things just to survive. But could a former doomed soldier do it any other way?

Invading the Lands of the Dragons! An epic event that's brought all three Great Clans together in a common enterprise. All so that the Elves can finally wrench a Regional Dungeon back from the winged reptiles and get the key they so desperately need. With a goal like this on the line, the...

A check for a billion credits. The prize seemed lost forever, and here it glittered again with all its colors, drawing the couple like a magnet. The pirates, the Uldans, the Zatrathi - none of it mattered now. The final goal was so close. All they had to do was reach out and grasp it. Alas, fortune refuses to land in Surgeon's hand just like that, without a fight. Fortune only comes to those who can prove themselves. Will Alexis and Eunice find their inner strength and go to the end - or will the obstacles in their way force them to give up their search?

What could be harder for two Combat Mages (even Universal ones) than having to kill a creature who's totally immune to magic? Whatever the answer, the game doesn't care. Anyone who's decided to make something of themselves, let alone earn the status of a "key character," is going to have to...

"All or Nothing" is the Seekers' life motto, and they intend to face their final battle guided by the very same principle. Everybody's fates have become woven together in a single point in space and time—the Seekers', the cultists', the demons', and the Taoists' alike. The upcoming battle has...

The battle against the Bohao cultists is nearing its climax. While the demon world has been freed from their grip, the cultists still thrive in the world of humans, having entrenched themselves at the very top of the Phoenix Clan. To claim victory, the Seekers must discover a new source of...

The spread of the Cursed Lands has been halted. The first of the seven members of the Circle Order, responsible for the fall of the Chaos Clan and the destruction of the Condor group, had been killed. Not a bad start for someone just finishing their first year at the magic academy. Now comes the...

The obliteration of the settlers' ark hasn’t gone without consequence—the ancients have struck back. Anomalies have vanished, all the higher-ranking Nascent Gods have fallen, and the passage between the Tiers has been sealed. Cultists are on the rise, determined to destroy everything that remains. The world is spiraling into chaos, ruled by a single law: kill or be killed. Yet the Seekers refuse to back down or surrender to fate. When the whole world stands against you, it only means one thing—there will be plenty of spoils!

Death is not the end. Maximilian Valevsky was slain, but rune magic has returned him to this reality. There are still enemies to destroy and evil forces to expel from this world. The only question is: what will he do with the person who finally did him in? Will he forgive and forget, or take action to ensure his killer can never pull of such a trick again?

All or nothing. Life or death. There is no third option. Neither the ancients, nor outside forces, nor Chaos itself can find any other way to preserve the integrity of the world other than to destroy Archduke Maximilian Valevsky. They send him on a mission that can only be completed under one condition—Maximilian must die. And if he doesn't fulfill this mission, everyone he holds dear will perish in his stead.

Es gibt ganze Anthologien mit Geschichten darüber, was die Menschheit tun würde, wenn ein Spiel Besitz von ihrer Welt ergreift. Was aber, wenn die Menschen in einer Welt leben, die schon seit Tausenden von Jahren von einem Spiel beherrscht wird? Was, wenn sie die Überlebenden eines blutigen Gefechts sind, die sich ihren Platz auf dem Planeten erkämpft und verdient haben? Tailyn Vlashich war ein junger Niemand, der sich einen Dreck um den ganzen Ruhm- und Ehre-Zirkus scherte.

What could possibly go wrong at a Tier Zero school of ascension when all the powerful foes have been vanquished and a bonded pair of Seekers can handle any adversary-not just at their current stage of ascension, but also from the initial ranks of the next one?

Surviving in a tough situation is not always the best option; sometimes dying is much better than staying alive. The Academy showed Paladin Yaropolk what makes the world go round: pragmatism and personal gain. Restart was set in motion, but it only makes players more frantic. Now everyone plays only for themselves. Yaropolk faces the same dilemma: be like all of them, or keep his humanity and be known as an odd duck. Because there is only one rule in this world: kill or be killed....

Every so often, reality shatters all our expectations. The Bohao Cult's top brass have proven far too formidable an opponent for the Seekers to crush with a single strike. Our heroes are in dire need of new strength, new knowledge, and new techniques. But where should they begin their search for those? The cultists have sealed off all access to the Primordial Soul and started a relentless hunt for House Bao. Tensions ride terrifyingly high while Zander and Vyllea are once again forced to do the impossible.

Hallo! Mein Name ist Max, und ich bin einer der Auserwählten. Was ist der erste Gedanke, der Ihnen in den Sinn kommt, wenn Sie diese Worte lesen? Ein großer Held, auserkoren unter all den Milliarden Menschen auf der Erde? Jemand, der das Glück hat, in einer unbekannten Welt zu landen und dort Superkräfte zu gewinnen? Ein Entdecker neuer Welten, der sein Schicksal gefunden hat? Nun ja, all das stimmt tatsächlich, nur gibt es ein kleines Aber … Oder, um genau zu sein, eine ganze Reihe von Abers. Und dann sind da dir Regeln. Und die erste Regel der Auserwählten lautet:

A school of ascension once again. But now, instead of the energy-starved Tier Zero, the Seekers have taken on the First Tier, so this school's a whole different beast. It's massive. It's majestic. It strikes awe into the hearts of the students and nips any thoughts of breaking the rules in the bud. The Seekers are unwelcome here, for they don't play by anyone's rules. But aren't rules there to be broken?

What would happen if our world turned into a computer game? It might sound tempting at first, but there's one small detail you should know: in this game, people are nothing but non-playable characters, useful only for the service they provide to the real players. Experience, development, loot...
