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.

Only the strongest survive in this world, and Mikhael has known that since his earliest childhood. Finding himself at a boarding school where brutality reigns, he is forced to fight for his place in the sun. Using his cunning, strength, and unusual abilities, he battles his way to the top, taking on both his peers and the adults that control the system. But can he hold on to power and remain true to himself when every day is a new test?

A hospital bed isn't somewhere Mikhail plans on spending much time. In a world where every day could be his last, weakness isn't an option. Once his body is restored and his mind is sharp as ever, a new path lies before him. This path leads not only to power, but also to more terrible secrets, conspirators, and monsters, for whom human life is nothing more than a resource. An army of enemies, voices whispering in the shadows, and anomalies that devour all living things—to fight against all that, you must be prepared to change yourself.

I am the Archmage Mikhael. In my life, I have seen many beautiful women and many senseless battles. At some point, I found that the battles outnumbered the beautiful women. This loss of balance prompted me to put an end to all wars. I conducted scientific experiments and even studied the DNA of mages. I was one step away from understanding what makes us go to war when I died....

Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."

I hope that by now you've lost any illusions you had about the Selected being some kind of elite force of intelligent civilization, chosen to fight against Universal Evil. So far, the only evil I've seen is the buggy System and the lack of basic sanitary facilities while we're adventuring. Also, it would be a real stretch to describe my companions as "elite". As for all the problems that come with being Selected—well, we can handle them!

It wasn't long-ago that Britons could have been as at home in Varanasi as they could have been in Wolverhampton—why?—because the shape and location of Britain's land-mass has not always been the same, and with large parts of Britain scattered across the globe, British borders and its identity has always been on the move. But, by knowing more about the twelve pivotal moments that occurred over a 2,000-year period, we can not only gain a full sense of our British history, but we can also understand where we are heading.

I created this book to share what I have learned about an incredibly powerful tool - SSAS (small self-administered scheme) pension. This tool has enabled me to take control over my pension wealth and legacy. Prior to this, I had a corporate pension and expected to just take the regular payments each month when I retired as that’s what everyone does, don’t they? Well no, as I was to discover.
