Possibly it's not to save a pair of drowning girls, not go 'viral' on social media and certainly not to let the local police take your passport, trapping you on a small 'party' island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea. But Steve isn't the average guy, he's ex-military, ex-enforcer and ex-human. He's a one man nanite fuelled nightmare for those that cross the line, and he's decided that its time to clean up his act. He's going to make up for the things he's done, and save 'the little guys'.

Ich bin der, den es nicht geben dürfte. Meinesgleichen wird normalerweise tot geboren oder–wenn es gut läuft–sterben wir noch als Säuglinge. Wer sich nicht entwickeln kann, stirbt. Es ist eine simple Sache. Kein Kind der Leere hat jemals das erste Jahr überlebt. Nur ich habe es bis zum dreizehnten geschafft, und fragt nicht, wie. Elende dreizehn Jahre einer jämmerlichen Existenz. Alles, was ich in der Zeit tun konnte, war mich mit unendlicher Anstrengung zu bewegen. Und selbst das nicht immer. Für jede Minute meines Lebens musste der Clan tief in die Tasche greifen.

Du willst, dass aus einem Rohdiamanten ein Brillant wird? Dann musst du ihn schleifen lassen. So kam es, dass ich mich auf die Suche nach einem Schleifer machen musste, und da ich ein außergewöhnlicher Diamant war, brauchte ich einen ganz besonderen Meister. Derjenige, der dieser Aufgabe gewachsen war, war ein echtes Unikum — genial, aber auch mit Tücken. Er wohnte auf einem rauen, hohen Berg und empfing ungebetene Besucher auf sehr eigentümliche Weise. Ob man ein einfacher Bursche aus dem Volk oder der Sohn eines Präfekten war, juckte ihn kein bisschen.

Manche sagen, es gäbe keinen furchtbareren Ort im ganzen Norden. Das Dickicht. Eine eiternde Wunde auf dem Antlitz des Planeten, die Wurzel und Heimat der gefährlichsten Kreaturen von Rock. Der Tod selbst sei einst durch seine Gebiete gewandert, und wo er den Fuß hinsetzte, gebar er abscheuliche Mischwesen, denen er einen Teil seiner Natur, einen morbiden Kern, einpflanzte. In das Dickicht vorzudringen, ist schwer; lebend wieder herauszukommen, noch schwerer. Wen es durch eine Laune des Schicksals dorthin verschlägt, der ist endgültig verloren–es sei denn natürlich, er ist ein großer Held.

I was just a normal guy making his way in the big city—until I found myself transported to another world to train at the Alpha Warlock Academy. Not only do they want me among their ranks, but they want me to train among the most powerful of warlocks at the Academy. I've got a lot on my plate: cramming spells, training for combat, and trying not to get myself killed during my initial challenges. Fortunately, I've also got plenty of friends to help me out, including my hobgoblin neighbor and the smooth-talking genie across the hall.

Ich habe einen Plan. Einen guten, durchdachten Plan. Doch ein hinterlistiger Zwerg und zwei Schläger zwingen mich dazu, früher zu handeln, als ich wollte. Dabei habe ich noch nicht alles vorbereitet. Der Plan wackelt, und von überall her platzen unangenehme Überraschungen herein. Statt das Übel mithilfe einer Armee schweigsamer Helfer auszumerzen, bin ich auf mich allein gestellt. Die Stadt, unter der sich möglicherweise das verbirgt, was ich schon so lange suche, wird belagert.

The Earth barely survived the Third World War. It isn’t ready for the War of the Worlds. A beam of pure Chaos has descended on the Earth connecting it to the Labyrinth Universe. Monsters will spawn, heroes will level and nations will fall. Chaos will Awaken!

After completing my initial challenges and becoming the top Alpha at the Academy, life is pretty darn good. I've got a permanent spot at the most prestigious institution in the galaxy and the most loyal group of friends that a man could ask for. With a new semester at the Alpha Warlock Academy comes a new round of challenges. This time, I'm not working alone—I've got to form and lead a team of warlocks to take on a series of increasingly dangerous challenges. If I pull it off, a trove of rewards is mine. Angry Alpha peers getting in my way aren't the only thing I need to worry about.

In Albury, Adrian and his team must face the most terrifying of all enemies: his fellow humans. The team has done everything right. They have killed off all of Adhava's kids and in doing so denied her reinforcements, but now she has fled into a dungeon. In Dungeon, Adrian and his team need to hunt her down. In Home Bound Adrian faces threats he is aware of; weak but numerous enemies that no one else would even think about challenging. He is not at all concerned because of a simple fact of life: if you know what's coming, the risk can be mitigated or avoided in its entirety.

I had a plan; a good one that I thought through really well. But it only took a single cunning dwarf accompanied by two goons to force me into acting earlier than I’d planned to.

Imagine a warm, beautiful country populated by friendly and happy people who live in harmony under a true democratically elected government. In a feudal world dominated by a small cohort of ruthless nobles, that would indeed be a bright spot, right? It sure would—except keep dreaming, folks. Where our hero is going this time is the exact opposite of the above—a slum of a city in the middle of a dry, inhospitable desert, pervasive corruption, and all kinds of formidable enemies.

The Saurian threat has been defeated, and the eastern border has been made safe once again. With the end of the campaign, Valian looks forward to peace and prosperity for his newly established house, but fate has other ideas. A dark corruption is taking hold in Tor’s Rest, strengthened by the avarice and ambition of those in power. Shunned by those he called allies, cornered by those he called enemies, Valian must decide how far he’s willing to go in order to combat the chaos sweeping throughout the land.

So you want a brilliant cut for your rough diamond? In that case, you should get on with the cutting! That’s how I found myself looking for a suitable lapidarist. Since I was anything but your run-of-the-mill little rock, the master crafter also had to be special. The one fitting the bill happened to be truly excellent, but, alas, he did have his quirks, too. A recluse living on top of a tall, barren mountain, he did not take kindly to most uninvited intruders, sending them back rolling down the hill in the most unceremonious of manners. And he had plenty of secrets, too.

Charles Cornick is his pack's enforcer and lives a harsh life, doing jobs other wolves can't - or won't. And his most recent task was rescuing Anna Latham from a life of brutality. This leaves him shot and wounded, but he's happy to pay the price. Charles is strongly drawn to Anna, and her growing 'Omega' powers will see his people through dangerous times. Anna desperately needs her new mountainous home to be safer than the life she's left behind. But when a rogue werewolf starts murdering hikers, Charles and Anna are sent into the winter forests to investigate.

An unexpected roadmap—or better yet, a book—makes looking for treasure so much easier. Reading into it what the authors have never even thought about makes for a welcome bonus. These are all but lucky waystations on my journey to the doorsteps of this world's greatest mystery. There's a catch: everyone and his brother has already been there, and even the worst losers know the way. So, is this the end of the road? The demise of the Great Plan? Or have they all knocked on the door the wrong way?

Welcome to the challenge. You're an absolute nobody here—nothing, a zero, a useless lump of meat filled with bones. You're but a delicious morsel for your antagonists and those who got lucky at the start. The only goal you can have in your miserable existence is to kick the bucket as soon as possible.
