A Progression Fantasy
Death had only ever been a small misunderstanding for the high mage. After his seventh reincarnation, he’d begun thinking of it differently, viewing it as nothing more than a slight hiccup in his plans.
But he’d forgotten one thing: when those plans get in the way of those higher up the ladder, punishment is soon to follow. And one more death brought faint consolation.
Sent to another world, he found himself in a stranger’s body, though the worst part was that he was left with only the memories he’d built since his previous reincarnation. All the mage had learned before that point was gone. Finding himself in that challenging situation, his dilemma was between carving out his place in the sun and throwing up his hands in despair.
But giving in wasn’t an option for Leg Ondo. The Brown Bear clan brooked no cowards. If fighting was the way to go, it was a fight to the death, to the last drop of blood. Most importantly, the new world needed to be explored and understood, the local iteration of magic in particular. Let nobody ever say that the youngest of the Bears was unworthy!
Who’s the bravest of them all? Cat lady Mirelle and her Celestial Clan? Yeah, go screw yourself, Mirelle, you and your whole clan! It’s bad enough that I’m allergic to you, now you’ve gone and stayed behind in this world when you should be in the next one.
Go on, scram! And take your stupid clan with you. No democracy here, just despotism, tyranny, and the coming of the lord. Which means me, if you hadn’t worked it out yet… he-he.
Preparations for the tournament between the Heroes of the “Earth” release are in full swing. The Great Clans are busy protecting their representatives and arranging unpleasant surprises for their rivals, hoping to come out on top in this unprecedented event.
There are three Release Heroes, three Great Clans, and Michael, who stands apart from the rest. Unfortunately, there are also demons and dragons to consider, and neither of them are simply going to stand aside and watch the Elves enjoy the new turn of events.
Whatever happens, though, this tournament is bound to go down in after all, one of the competitors is a Fallen One!

The Selected (Book 4):
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 flinching. Probably.
In any case, it’s always the right time for good deeds and justice. This world needs a new hero, and it might as well be me…

„Earth“ Release Book 3:
The game has devoured Earth. Players have gotten down to business as usual - farming, taking out monsters, leveling up their items, and wiping out dungeons. All the NPCs can do is accept their unenviable fate and try to survive in this complicated new world.
But will they all be content to sit on their hands and accept it? Michael, a Universal Combat Mage, is one of a number of people who refuse to let fate lead them passively along. He wants to decide his own fate. And really, it should be pretty he'll just need to make his way out of the depths of the local dungeon, and thereby reclaim his right to call himself a human. The rest will fall into place.
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.
It seems like a hopeless situation. Someone must die. But who? Perhaps it’s the world itself that is setting such harsh terms?

More Barliona adventures from the bestselling author of The Way of the Shaman LitRPG series!
Reality is cruel. The rising level of technological development has led to a rising level of unemployment. They're laying off everybody, from teachers to technical servicemen. What's the point of holding onto a person if they can be replaced by an advanced mechanism?
But what are the people to do? How are they to live? Where are they to get money from? There is only one answer – Barliona. The official government project is gathering steam, luring more and more people into its net. Who knows how people will behave when they lose everything?
Brody West is one such person. Unlike most, he doesn't lose heart. A professional project manager with thirty years in the business simply cannot do that. He has a goal, and a clear understanding of how to achieve it. Nobody can get in his way – not the new class, not the strange friend, and not the unexpected foes.

Welt der Verwandelten hat das menschliche Bewusstsein grundlegend verändert. Die unglaubliche Grafik, die selbst auf den primitivsten Smartphones läuft. Das intuitive Interface, das jedem den Einstieg ins Spiel ermöglicht. Die aggressive Marketingkampagne, die laufend brandheiße Game-News auf jeden Fernseher, jedes Telefon und jedes Tablet schickt. Wenige Tage vor dem Spielstart haben sie alle so weit: Armeen von Fans fiebern nur einem Event entgegen – der Stunde X. So nennen die mysteriösen Entwickler den Zeitpunkt, zu dem das Spiel online gehen soll.
Aber schwant irgendjemandem, was Stunde X auf die Menschheit loslassen wird? Sind die Menschen bereit, den Preis zu zahlen, den das Spiel fordert? – Der Student Mark Derwin ist nur einer von vielen, der keine Ahnung hat, welches Schicksal ihn im Spiel erwartet. Er kann an nichts anderes denken, als in die Vorabversion einzutauchen, sobald sie herauskommt.
Is it easy to survive in the game world? You could say yes, if you didn’t know what the additional conditions were. They are unusual: it’s the real world in which you have lived all your life. The enemy, craving to destroy you. Your own class who couldn’t care less about you. Are you still sure that survival is easy? Then welcome to THE GAME! It will prove you wrong.
What can a game clan accomplish without a castle? The answer is obvious: nothing. Therefore, the main objective of any leader in a game world is to acquire a base of operations. Finding himself in exactly this position, High Shaman Mahan, leader of the Legends of Barliona, accepts an offer from the Emperor and the Dark Lord to vanquish the army of Phantoms that has inhabited Altameda, the phantom castle.
However, this seemingly ordinary quest sets in motion such a momentous chain of events that the Shaman can do nothing but resort to his intuition and act on instinct. After all, a player who is being hunted by the three top clans of the continent at once, can do little else...
