Gestern noch war Ben ein Kleinkrimineller, der die New Yorker Oberschicht ausgenommen hat.
Heute hat er ein neues Gesicht, einen neuen Namen und eine neue Welt, in der er sich zurechtfinden muss. Und Ben denkt, dass er dieses Mal vielleicht seine Fähigkeiten zur Entwaffnung und Täuschung nutzen kann, um anderen Menschen zu helfen.
Vielleicht.
Einem mittelalterlichen Stadtwächter dabei zuzusehen, wie er einen zehn Meter großen empfindungsfähigen Schleimbrocken abwehrt, der aus der Kanalisation hochgekrochen ist, bringt einen dazu, seine Lebensentscheidungen zweimal zu überdenken.
Morgen muss er ein Mädchen retten, eine Krone stehlen, einer Gilde beitreten und, was am wichtigsten ist, einen Gastwirt davon überzeugen, ein anständiges Omelette mit Speck und Käse zu machen.
Well, he’s the last elf standing. It’s confusing not being human anymore.
But being the only living member of the Biscuit’s Union has its benefits. No need to take on shifts baking cookies, for one. No one telling Clyde what to do. No one...
You have been offered a quest by the Biscuit’s Union: Rebuild the Guild Reform the guild by having at least eight (8) members in good standing by the end of one (1) week. Reward for success: survival of the guild, unknown, XP Penalty for failure (or refusal): the death of the guild Yes/No
Okay then. So in order for any of the work Clyde’s put in to matter, for any of the numerous deaths he’s gone through to count, he has to keep the guild going and remain its leader. Which means he’s got a busy week ahead of him.
Ashlock wakes in the courtyard of a demonic sect... as a tree. A tree that eats people.
An odd start to a new life. Almost as strange as the humans flying through the skies on flaming swords and challenging the heavens. After all, this is a world where humans could chase the goal of immortality through the art of cultivation.
But Ashlock is merely a sapling in a desolate courtyard, left alone with his thoughts and unable to speak to those passing him by.
Unless he does something about it...
Every day, he grows stronger as he cultivates and uses a suspicious daily sign-in system that grants him powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items, all in exchange for credits earned from eating flesh and watching the seasons pass by.
But his peaceful life and man-eating ways can only go unnoticed for so long. His Qi-rich bark makes him a target for many young masters. If that isn't bad enough, tensions in the demonic sect are at an all-time high with the Beast Tide festers on the horizon.
Ashlock's only option is to grow faster and stronger than any tree has ever done in the history of the nine realms—all while trying to avoid being turned into firewood.
As Eryk's closely guarded secrets teeter on the brink of exposure within the company, he finds himself navigating treacherous waters. Meanwhile, his mage company ventures on a harrowing expedition to unveil the elusive whereabouts of a legendary lost dungeon known as The Shimmering Labyrinth. This perilous undertaking will serve as the ultimate test for Eryk and his allies, as a hidden adversary threatens them from a distance.
Morgan used to be a pretty normal guy. He went to college by day and played online games by night, leading his guild into new conquests—until he got hit by a car, and a dude wearing a wetsuit appeared in front of him. The man offered him a new chance at life in a world that he had created, a world with similar rules to the games that Morgan loved to play. There is the promise of great rewards and power, he says, if Morgan manages to complete the Tower of Power. Stupid name, I know.
Morgan didn’t usually trust strangers who seem to have god complexes, but he was in a pinch. There’s a crazy-looking dude saying that he is technically not a god on one end of the tunnel, and a blinding light on the other end—and he was really not digging the light.
So he accepted the offer from the surfer god-not-god.
Getting dropped into a strange new world with no idea what the rules are was not something that Morgan was a fan of; and in this strange world, it seems like everything is out to eat his face. It was a good thing, then, that he stumbled onto two half-elf twins willing to help him get the hang of this strange new world.
Now, all he needs to do is survive long enough to reach this Tower.

“There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man.”
My name is Kvothe. I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the University at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. You may have heard of me.
So begins the tale of a hero told from his own point of view — a story unequaled in fantasy literature. Now in The Wise Man's Fear, an escalating rivalry with a powerful member of the nobility forces Kvothe to leave the University and seek his fortune abroad. Adrift, penniless, and alone, he travels to Vintas, where he quickly becomes entangled in the politics of courtly society. While attempting to curry favor with a powerful noble, Kvothe uncovers an assassination attempt, comes into conflict with a rival arcanist, and leads a group of mercenaries into the wild, in an attempt to solve the mystery of who (or what) is waylaying travelers on the King's Road.
All the while, Kvothe searches for answers, attempting to uncover the truth about the mysterious Amyr, the Chandrian, and the death of his parents. Along the way, Kvothe is put on trial by the legendary Adem mercenaries, is forced to reclaim the honor of the Edema Ruh, and travels into the Fae realm. There he meets Felurian, the faerie woman no man can resist, and who no man has ever survived ... until Kvothe.
In The Wise Man's Fear, Kvothe takes his first steps on the path of the hero and learns how difficult life can be when a man becomes a legend in his own time.
