Greed: All For What?

Pride is to blame for all troubles, and who, if not wizards and magicians, should know about it? After all, they are selfish, cruel, selfish, greedy and spoiled by their own power, proud, desperately clinging to power! Yes, they are indeed wise, capable of many things, sometimes truly courageous and faithful to the ancient precepts, but all this becomes so insignificant when wizards again begin to fight for supremacy within their ancient caste. And what if one more of them, a true madman, besotted with ambitious dreams, decides that it is time to change the world order?.. But this book is not about him. It's about Tobius, very young by the standards of magicians, but such a talented bearer of the Gift, who dared to claim the title of master of Riven Academy when he was not even fifty years old. Yes, in the end the young man received the coveted staff and the right to a middle name,

My name is Seraph. In a world that is filled with magic, science and arts of unbelievable kinds, I'm relatively ordinary. But then I met them. A group of assassins that work the machines of the world behind closed curtains. And the most striking is their leader, the woman which is the greatest mystery in the world. Though to the world we are all dead, each of us has a story of their own. I wonder if I can find myself a home among these people who call themselves Valkyries and more importantly can I solve all the riddles that surround them?

In a world smaller than ours, walled by stone and ruled by steel, fourteen kingdoms fought endlessly to stand above the rest. For centuries, their wars raged until two hundred years ago, when Blitz, a western nation, rose to dominance with a military unlike any the world had ever seen. By the year 1100, Blitz had crushed its rivals and ruled as the largest and most advanced nation alive. Peace followed, but uneasily. Whispers claimed Blitz's soldiers wielded unnatural power, strength no mortal should possess. Power used to bend nations to their knees. Then came the vanishings. Villages gone overnight. Towns emptied of life. Survivors spoke of monsters crawling through the dark, of blood and shadows. Others blamed rival kingdoms. None knew the truth, only that war was coming. Far from the capital, deep in the forgotten forests at Blitz's edge, lay a small village untouched by politics or power. There, two sixteen-year-old boys hid a secret of their own, unnatural strength. Monstrous strength. A power that should not exist. And soon, their world was about to burn.

By night, the frozen kingdom of Vatala is a realm of terror, where legends feed on fear and blood. Axil and Faris are lured by duty into ancient shadows of deception and madness. The icy chill of dread howls as cursed Vikings ravage the western sea, a knight cloaked in dispair transverses the twisted Forrest and a black blade echoes chaos. Thundering horse hooves, the clang of rusty chains, a stench of scorched blood – all evil began as something else...

Kaelan Voss spent his life as a beta tester for Elysian Rift, the VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game). He was unremarkable, forgettable, and stuck in the tutorial zones. When the game's servers shut down for good, he felt a strange pang of loss as if a part of him died with the final boss, Morvath the Silent Crown. Then the sky cracked open. The Akashic Interface initialized. The fantasy world of Elysian Rift bled into reality. Subways became monster nests. Office buildings transformed into death traps. 90% of the population was wiped out in the first 72 hours. Kaelan should have been a statistic. But the moment the System scanned his soul, something broke. It recognized him not as Kaelan Voss, the F-Rank human, but as Legacy Entity #0001 the echo of the Fallen King. Kaelan awakens with two memories: his own mundane life, and the eternity of a God who ruled before being deleted. Now, armed with the [Echoes of the Fallen] passive skill, he can hear the attack patterns of monsters before they move. He knows the location of every hidden treasure, every secret passage, and every boss's fatal weakness because he created them. But there's a catch: his human body is pathetically weak. If anyone discovers his true identity, the System will flag him as a "Glitched Entity" and send every Hero-Class Awakened on Earth to eliminate him. To survive, Kaelan must do the unthinkable: play the role of the weakest man alive while secretly conquering the apocalypse from the shadows. He will reclaim his royal class. He will find out why the System brought his world to Earth. And when the "Heroes" who killed him in the game finally arrive in reality, he will show them what happens when a Final Boss gets a second life.

Allsium takes virtual reality to the ultimate level. It is not a social network, nor a massively multiplayer online video game, but an experience as real as life itself. In Allsium pain and pleasure feels as if it were real, so leaving the safety of virtual Earth is a price few are willing to pay. Those who do so will travel to the so-called illegal worlds, dangerous planets that pay homage to the golden age of video games and cinema, where they can obtain unimaginable powers: abilities that exceed human limits and magics that can be developed by choosing a path. However, the bravest adventurers must be very careful, as losing their lives in Allsium will make it impossible to access again, so they will no longer benefit from the system in a real world that is still recovering from the disasters of World War III. Gunner has formed a virtual group together with Greek, Dagon and Zen. After long and painstaking preparation, they decide to travel to the outlaw worlds of Allsium in search of the power offered by the trails. These can lead them to master incredible abilities and, incidentally, to take revenge on a society that has turned them into outcasts. But this will only be possible if they manage to take advantage of the Allsionist plan: the creation of a breach in the system that connects virtuality with reality. Evolution takes the final step. Welcome to Allsium.
