Produit high-tech dernière génération, Barliona est un monde de pur divertissement. Depuis peu, le gouvernement, garant de la monnaie in-game, permet sa libre circulation. La conséquence est immédiate : Barliona est envahi par une population avide d’argent facile. Les développeurs du jeu, eux, trouvent rapidement de la main-d’œuvre gratuite : les criminels IRL. Le corps enfermé dans une capsule de réalité virtuelle, leur esprit est implanté dans les mines virtuelles de Barliona. Dmitry Mahan a surmonté bien des épreuves.

L’univers virtuel de Barliona. Havre de paix. Espace de divertissement. Enfin, pas pour tous… Ce lieu est une arène de combat pour Daniel Mahan qui lutte pour survivre jusqu’à purger la fin de sa peine : 8 ans dans une prison virtuelle. Mahan aura tout enduré : un travail de forçat dans les mines, la trahison de ses codétenus… jusqu'à ce qu'un nouveau jugement le lâche dans le monde normal de Barliona. Que rêver de mieux??

Barliona. Monde virtuel truffé de monstres, de batailles et — forcément — de joueurs. Ils débarquent par millions à Barliona, en quête de ce qui n'existe pas IRL : elfes, magie, dragons, princesses, combats mémorables. Ce sont des criminels qui purgent leur peine in-game. Leur seul but : survivre à ce calvaire virtuel.

Daniel Mahan, the legendary Shaman of the Barliona game world, has served his sentence in virtual reality. Eleven months of adventures and battles in exchange for eight years in prison isn't a bad trade-off. And yet Barliona refuses to relinquish its grip on the Shaman so easily, erasing the boundary between his two realities. It turns out that it's not so simple to leave the capsule - the Way must be completed....

Barliona: a virtual world jam-packed with monsters, battles - and, predictably, players. Millions of them come to Barliona, looking forward to the things they can't get in real life: elves and magic, dragons and princesses, and unforgettable combat. The game has become so popular that players now choose to spend months online without returning home. In Barliona, anything goes: You can assault fellow players, level up, become a mythical hero, a wizard, or a legendary thief.

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.

A product of the latest technologies, Barliona is a virtual world brimming with fun and entertainment. The government has become the guarantor for the in-game currency, allowing its free circulation. As a result the population floods Barliona in pursuit of easy money. It doesn't take long for the game developers to discover a source of free labor: real-world prison convicts. While their bodies are locked in special auto-maintenance virtual capsules, the prisoners' minds are released into Barliona's virtual mines.

Mahan's ready for new adventures - just as the gaming world of Barliona thought it was about to reenter its old comfortable rut. The winds of the Dark Forest have finally died down; Altameda has recognized its new owner while Geranika is nursing new schemes of global destruction. Would Mahan be happy with this predictable old life? We think not!

The virtual world of Barliona is a place of rest and entertainment - but not for everyone. It has become a survival arena for Daniel Mahan after he was sentenced to eight years in its virtual jail. Mahan has been through it all: the back-breaking work in the mines, betrayal by other prisoners, and finally, the retrial which has released him into Barliona's common world. What more could one want? Mahan could have kept a low profile and enjoyed relative freedom while serving the rest of his time.

Hallo! Mein Name ist Max, und ich bin einer der Auserwählten. Was ist der erste Gedanke, der Ihnen in den Sinn kommt, wenn Sie diese Worte lesen? Ein großer Held, auserkoren unter all den Milliarden Menschen auf der Erde? Jemand, der das Glück hat, in einer unbekannten Welt zu landen und dort Superkräfte zu gewinnen? Ein Entdecker neuer Welten, der sein Schicksal gefunden hat? Nun ja, all das stimmt tatsächlich, nur gibt es ein kleines Aber … Oder, um genau zu sein, eine ganze Reihe von Abers. Und dann sind da dir Regeln. Und die erste Regel der Auserwählten lautet:

Und hallöchen – da bin ich wieder. Max, der Auserwählte! Mit meiner Gruppe von chaotischen Trott… Ähm, ich meine, mit meiner Gruppe aus Sammlern, die den Namen „Die Auserwählten“ trägt. Übrigens sind wir inzwischen längst eine Große Gruppe. Ihr könnt mich also Lord Max nennen. Hätten Sie Angst, einem Großen Clan den Krieg zu erklären? Also ich jedenfalls nicht. Notfalls nehme ich es auch mit zweien von denen gleichzeitig auf. Nun ja, vielleicht … Auf jeden Fall ist immer der richtige Zeitpunkt für gute Taten und Gerechtigkeit.

Surviving in a tough situation is not always the best option; sometimes dying is much better than staying alive. The Academy showed Paladin Yaropolk what makes the world go round: pragmatism and personal gain. Restart was set in motion, but it only makes players more frantic. Now everyone plays only for themselves. Yaropolk faces the same dilemma: be like all of them, or keep his humanity and be known as an odd duck. Because there is only one rule in this world: kill or be killed....

Every so often, reality shatters all our expectations. The Bohao Cult's top brass have proven far too formidable an opponent for the Seekers to crush with a single strike. Our heroes are in dire need of new strength, new knowledge, and new techniques. But where should they begin their search for those? The cultists have sealed off all access to the Primordial Soul and started a relentless hunt for House Bao. Tensions ride terrifyingly high while Zander and Vyllea are once again forced to do the impossible.

Not long ago, Daniel Mahan, known to everyone as Shaman Mahan, thought that he had taken his sixth and final step in the Barliona gameworld. Yet life has other ideas. The Corporation decides to resurrect the Lord of Shadow and his entire host. The Corporation's CEO personally pushes the reset button. Geranika and his Dragon of Shadow spring back to life as, meanwhile, the Corporation makes an offer the Shaman can't refuse. 

"All or Nothing" is the Seekers' life motto, and they intend to face their final battle guided by the very same principle. Everybody's fates have become woven together in a single point in space and time—the Seekers', the cultists', the demons', and the Taoists' alike. The upcoming battle has the very existence of two worlds at stake, and only Zander and Vyllea can decide what happens next. After all, they embody the Heavens' will. They simply have no right to err.

The battle against the Bohao cultists is nearing its climax. While the demon world has been freed from their grip, the cultists still thrive in the world of humans, having entrenched themselves at the very top of the Phoenix Clan. To claim victory, the Seekers must discover a new source of...

These were dark times for Tailyn Vlashich, the 12-year-old alchemist. He'd been banished from the empire. The academy had summarily dismissed him. A deadly killer had been dispatched to hunt him. He'd been dropped all the way down to level one. But while there weren't many adults who would have been able to cope with the litany of problems Tailyn was facing, they weren't him. And he had help - two mentors, his girl, and a friend.
