La Grande chasse est terminée. Timothy, parce qu’il a réussi à garder sa monture mythique, en est ressorti couvert de gloire. C’était une belle victoire, mais que faire ensuite ? Après tant d’exploits, le quotidien de notre héros lui paraît bien morose. Et pour couronner le tout, ses deux belles lui font comprendre qu’elles pourraient se trouver quelqu’un de plus intéressant. Une seule solution pour un gamer d’élite : repartir à l’aventure ! Timothy fonce tête baissée dans des quêtes impossibles, aux confins de territoires hostiles dont personne n’est censé réchapper.

En décrochant un job de testeur pour un célèbre MMORPG, Timothy a réalisé le rêve de sa vie. Aujourd'hui, il gagne sa vie (très bien, même) en se consacrant à sa passion : jouer dans un jeu pc aux graphismes réalistes et léchés. Contrairement aux millions d'autres, Timothy n'a rien d'un joueur lambda. Doué, bourré de talent, il sort du lot. Mais les rageux le prennent juste pour un gros veinard qui ne mérite pas son succès. Des tas de joueurs le détestent parce qu'il a enchaîné les exploits et le traquent sans relâche par pure envie ou parce qu'il est différent.

Seriez-vous prêt à faire une période d'essai pour presque rien ? Suer sang et eau pour une multinationale, 60 heures par semaine, sans jour de congés ? Tout ça contre la promesse d'un emploi et d'un bonus bien mystérieux... et dans un avenir plus ou moins proche ? Vous refuseriez tout net, non ? Sauf que... Si ce travail consistait à jouer au meilleur MMORPG du monde ? Et si vous n'aviez pas de réelles autres compétences et un besoin criant d'argent pour vous occuper d'un être cher ? Et si elle jouait déjà et que vous aviez la possibilité de faire équipe avec elle dans ce monde virtuel ?

Pas facile, quand on joue un petit herboriste gobelin, de se retrouver à endosser le rôle du Seigneur des ténèbres, l’antagoniste principal du MMORPG Boundless Realm ! Avec une apparence aussi modeste, comment se faire respecter par ses légions de géants, de cyclopes, de fantômes et autres créatures de l’enfer ? Notre héros n’a pas voulu de sa couronne, mais il ne peut plus faire marche arrière. Il va devoir prendre sur lui, et diriger les hordes démoniaques qui menacent désormais Boundless Realm.

A strange body that refuses to obey you; a weird game you can't quit until your contract expires; a world teeming with powerful and very real enemies. The game in which your reputation and faction relationship are the only things that matter. These are the conditions of the agreement Ruslan signs without reading. The only thing he remembers is that he's been contracted to command a space fleet in a brand-new game he knows nothing about. Objective: to survive for six months.

Die Abenteuer von Sergeant und seiner Katze gehen weiter! Der menschliche Bestienfänger wurde gewaltsam von seiner pelzigen Freundin Shelly getrennt, aber die Charakterstufe unseres Helden ist zu niedrig, um ihr in die weite Welt zu folgen oder um sich richtig zu rächen. Alles, was er jetzt tun kann, ist, an Stärke zu gewinnen, seinen Charakter und seine Fähigkeiten zu verbessern und seine ständig wachsende Liste von Feinden zu erweitern, die er eines Tages bestrafen muss... oder er überlässt das seinem rothaarigen Kätzchen Murr, das schnell zu einem Experten in Fluchmagie wird.

The enemy's at the gate, the situation getting worse by the second, and Ruslan's employer hasn't done a good job (to put it mildly) of securing his successes. Now the star system Unatari is under threat from the Aliens. It's high time Ruslan came back in order to rescue everything he holds dear from imminent destruction and save Perimeter Defense - the game that has become his life.

In his attempt to delay his appearance in Emperor's court, Crown Prince Georg triggers an alien invasion of his own star system. The whole of the Empire watches the live broadcast with bated breath as his fleet battles the awesome invaders. The Iseyeks - gigantic sentient praying mantises - are suitably impressed too, so they promptly remind the Crown Prince of his allied duties. The Sector Eight Fleet hurries to the Swarm's aid...but sadly disregards the insects' hive mentality.

The Empire is splitting at the seams. The Great Houses refuse to obey the Throne World and have begun to conduct increasingly independent politics. Sensing the weakness of the central government, even the most loyal star systems of the Imperial Core are refusing to take orders from above. Is this just a string of coincidences, or a coordinated campaign? Can a disjointed humanity rally around a strong leader to deflect an alien invasion? Who of the many figures in intergalactic politics can rise to this challenge?

Die Mitglieder der Allianz der Pechvögel hatten nicht einmal die Chance, sich in ihrem neuen Zuhause am dreiköpfigen Berg einzurichten, bevor ihr neuer Zufluchtsort von Feinden entdeckt wurde - sowohl von neuen als auch von alten. Das verlorene immergrüne Tal, das von schneebedeckten Berggipfeln umgeben war, war eine verlockende Beute, die sofort die neidische Aufmerksamkeit aller Nachbarn auf sich zog.

When Timothy finally found work as a tester for a popular online MMORPG, his lifelong dream was fulfilled. And now, he earns money (and pretty good money, at that) just for doing what he loves - playing a beautiful and realistic computer game. But he isn't some typical run-of-the-mill player, like the millions of others. Timothy is truly capable and talented, and stands out from the crowd. In fact, the faceless masses consider him far too lucky and successful.

Would you be prepared to work for free? How would you like to bust your hump for a large corporation 60-plus hours a week without a wage or a single day off for the vague promise of some mysterious perks in the distant future? You'd refuse point blank, wouldn't you? But what if the job in question was playing a state-of-the-art fantasy MMORPG game? And what if this was the only thing you're really good at? Especially considering that your in-game partner is someone really special to you - and this person already lives a virtual life?

They shouldn't have pissed off a virtual world top player by erasing his character for a highly questionable "violation of game rules"—and taking away his valuable in-game possessions. After returning to the virtual world under a different nickname, an unknown newb puts everything on the line by selecting the most difficult Hardcore mode: a single life that's so easy to lose in the dangerous game world.

Space is a dangerous place. Here, you're either a predator or soon to fall prey to a ruthless neighbor. And if you aren't tough enough to make it on your own, you'll need the backing of a formidable power to keep you safe from bigger fish. Earth used to have such protection—the great Geckho race. But unfortunately, the Geckho fell to an enemy onslaught, leaving planet Earth to fend for itself. And now, Earth humanity has precious little time to prove to their galactic neighbors that they are not to be trifled with.

The members of the League of Losers didn't even have a chance to get settled in their new home at the three-headed mountain before their new refuge was discovered by enemies—new ones as well as old. The lost evergreen valley, surrounded by snowy mountain peaks, is a very tempting prize that immediately attracted the envious attention of all the neighbors. And that means the time has come for Sergeant and his cat Whiskers to demonstrate the skills and spells they've learned in this new world, dust off their concealed artifacts, and make use of the beasts they tamed at the beginning of the game.

Endlich hatte eine außerirdische Zivilisation die Erde erreicht. Der erste Kontakt hatte tatsächlich stattgefunden. Auf der Erde allerdings hielt man das Ganze für nichts weiter als einen schlechten Scherz. Noch weniger Menschen hatten begriffen, für welch kurze Zeitspanne unsere neuen Oberherren die Sicherheit unseres Planeten garantiert hatten. Am Ende ihrer Ansprache zeigten sie der Menschheit jedoch, wie man Zugriff auf ein mysteriöses Spiel erhielt. Der Zweck dieses Spiels ist unklar. Niemand kann sagen, wo sich dessen Server befinden, oder begreift, wie es funktioniert.

Ein seltsamer, widerspenstiger Körper, der einst Kronprinz George gehörte, ein merkwürdiges Spiel, das man erst verlassen kann, wenn der Vertrag erfüllt ist, eine Welt voller mächtiger und äußerst realer Feinde. Das Spiel, in dem es nur auf die Reputation und die Fraktionszugehörigkeit ankommt. Ruslan - ein ehrgeiziger, junger Gamer - nimmt diese Bedingungen ohne Zögern an. Dabei weiß er nur, dass er in einem nagelneuen, ihm unbekannten Spiel eine Raumflotte kommandieren soll. Das Ziel: Sechs Monate zu überleben.

The aggressive invaders from another galaxy cannot be stopped. The Composite keeps capturing system after system wiping out everything in its path, and there is no sign of a force capable of standing up to it. In the search for allies, Gnat embarks on a long journey aimed at uniting the various branches of the human race. And though the potential for alliance is there, how can he convince them to set off to fight a suicidal war with such a disastrous balance of forces?

Countdown: At long last, an extraterrestrial civilization reached out and made the First Contact. The end of their message showed humankind how to access a mysterious game. But as people figure out this mysterious game, the countdown timer ticks away. And no one can say exactly what will happen when Earth's safety is no longer guaranteed.

The Army of Earth is being sent on its first tour of duty. Its 50,000 proud and valiant troopers are the best of the best, full of hope for brilliant victories and spoils of war that can help Earth's humanity along in its development. There's just one little problem, though. The operation's Geckho commanders view their human vassals as mere cannon fodder, good only for plugging up holes in their defensive line and shipping out to the space war's most punishing hotspots where the chance of surviving is practically nil.
