Have you ever felt like there was something inside of you pushing your actions? A dormant beast, so to speak. I know it sounds crazy. But, that’s the best way I could describe how I’ve felt for a long time. I thought it was normal, some animal part of the human brain that lingered from evolution. But, this is the story of how I learned I wasn’t exactly human, and there was a world underneath our own where all the things that go bump in the night live. And, that my beast was very real indeed.

Most mercenary units fly flags on two flagpoles at their headquarters: one with their unit’s flag, and other bearing the flag of their current employer. However, the Third Regimental Combat Team—a.k.a. the Eridani Light Horse—leaves one flagpole bare, as a reminder of the death of the Star League, and the other pole flies the Light Horse’s unit and regimental flags at half-mast.

Money, as they say, is the root of all evil. Not having money that is. When budget cuts at the high school where JT teaches threaten his mortgage, he’s forced to seek an alternative source of income. Using the latest VR technology that lets the body rest while the mind is at play, our digital entrepreneur dives into the latest VR MMO game Argos Online with a potentially exploitative character build no one saw coming: the Kobold Necromancer.

The end of the world brought with it the System, and the end of life as I knew it. The integration of Earth into the Arcadia Multiverse proceeds at a slow and steady pace, but events abroad continue to draw my attention. My allies in the Dragon Lodge and Samhain Clan need me once again, this time for a campaign on the distant world of Ladwick.

Trouble is coming for Earth and for the people of Crownhill. The wolfmen were only the start. Trolls and ogres now roam these unfamiliar lands. And worst of all, other humans wait and plot against us. With no one else to lead them, the burden of protecting these people falls to me. But I am not alone. Bridget and Sakura loyally stand by my side. And now, at last, I am finally reunited with Myrina, my oldest friend. She hails from the world of the Amazonians, and her people have lived with the System for countless years. They know the answers to questions we haven't even thought to ask.

Growing up, she was the girl down the street. Even then, I knew she was different. She was tough, rough, and had the strength to stop a speeding car with her bare hands. We were as thick as thieves, sharing every adventure. Then one day she revealed a secret. She wasn't from Earth. She was from a distant place called the Arcadia Multiverse. Her people lived under the rule of a god-like entity known as the System. That System had its gaze fixed on Earth. And it was only a matter of time before it came for us.

The first integration was just the start for Earth. As we grappled with the aftermath of the first integration, a new, more daunting phase began. The System had unveiled additional shards, each a victorious fragment of a broken civilization, survivors and conquerors just like us. These battle-hardened and desperate people are determined to win, and pose a threat unlike any we've faced so far. Meanwhile, the lifeline between Crownhill and Themyscira hangs in the balance. Elder Thalassa still holds a grudge against me, and without her mother, Cyra won't have the sway to keep her at bay.

Before me stands monsters, Chaos Gods, Undead Wizards, dragons, and a love worth fighting for. The monsters brought by the integration are under control, but the System will not grant us peace. Before us stand four hostile factions, and some of them are already plotting against me and my people. Worse, they draw on the power of the Chaos Gods to do I know not what. But I am not alone. My allies on Themyscira have been of great help to me already, and I have my eye on one in particular. Cyra and I have grown close, and I hope to grow closer still.

I was having an ordinary day as a tour guide aboard the Steadfast when suddenly the ship was attacked by a kraken. Mythical creatures like this giant sea monster weren't meant to exist on Earth, but this one was definitely real. And so was the damage it did to the Steadfast. After washing up on a deserted island, I'm looking for ways to survive. Food, water, and shelter are at the top of the list. Next comes some kind of weapon to deal with the strange creatures who lurk the island. It's not long before I discover that this island isn't even on Earth.

Zach is back. Life has been good since they dispatched a rabid, alpha wolf, tricked into dark power. His hoard is growing steadily, with odd jobs working as Morgana’s partner, and they’ve been hired to deal with the swamp troll migration, as the trolls pass through Philly on their way to Florida for the winter. As if he doesn’t have enough to deal with, the Order of the Magi come to town for a convention, and tensions grow taut between magi and the paranormal council.

Zach and his ladies are packing up for the dragon conclave. He has enough on his hands trying to impress centuries-old dragons that he’s their new king. But when a dragon arrives injured and another dies at the conclave, things grow tense at the conclave. Zach will need to step up as their new king and solve a problem so old it’s been forgotten. As if he doesn’t have enough to deal with, as pushy dragons vie for his attention, he’ll have to solve a murder as well.

Maximus has just returned to his home from his plight within the Amazon Kingdom with the knowledge that they do not have an alliance with the Amazons. After the death of their queen, the princess stepped in and told the Army of Races to leave. Max thought that he would have some time to relax once he settled back into his role at SafeHaven. However, another unfortunate situation has been brought to his attention: the Crown Prince of Augustia is missing.

Zach is on the hunt for Morgana, who’s hidden herself in Sentarshaden, the secret city of paranormals. The elven city is celebrating the time of rebirth and nurturing their root trees. His secret is slipping, and he sees just what is in store for him as a green dragon becomes known to the city. The new dragon is both revered and hunted. But keeping himself hidden becomes impossible as he finds Morgana in a terrible state and needing his help.

Heavy is the head who wears the crown. That goes double for the dragon king. Zach is wrapping up the end of the school year, trying to juggle his new independent study, where Sabrina and the dragons teach him magic while also being the king of dragons, a sitting member of the Philly Council, and a good mate to six. But the dragon king doesn’t sleep, not when Silverwing Mercenaries has a case from the council. Vampires have had some change in leadership in Philly, and trouble is brewing.

The great Star League general, Aleksandr Kerensky. Colonel Archer Christifori, a man with a score to settle. Nelson Geist, on Christmas patrol. MechWarrior Joanna of Clan Jade Falcon.

Paul Mitchell wasn't sure how things could get any worse. Sure, he'd been booted from the Marine Corps and was forced to work as a freelancer because he couldn't hold down a regular job. He'd signed on with a mysterious crew of women, sailed across the void, and met interesting aliens and new people who tried to kill him. Against all odds, he'd somehow found himself stuck between a criminal psycho, Naval Intelligence, and a drop-dead gorgeous skipper who actually liked him. He'd even pulled a regular Prince Charming and saved a damsel in distress.

When the FBI prepares to head down to Brazil, Zach gets tapped to join them. Things aren’t going to plan though. Geists are being created and weaponized around Philly and even drawing the attention of the military. To solve it, Zach needs to go down to El Dorado and convince them that he’s not like the dragons that came before him and that they need to help him solve Aphrodite’s grand plan.
