The Blue Dagger Society saved the city of Tristholm from Vitaria's minions and defeated the evil under the mountain. Keeping the Etheric Coast free of Vitaria's influence was going to take more aggressive measures than pounding a hammer into some steel. It was time to throw down with a goddess. Knowing they had their own goddess standing right behind them made Tim feel more optimistic about their chances. Eternia's influence was growing with each one of their victories. With the Goddess of Light standing behind them, how could they lose?

Tim's plan didn't include going toe to toe with one of the most powerful men in Promethia, but he had, and he won. Wasn't winning supposed to make things easier? Instead of getting to live on easy street, Tim's victory only increased his reputation as a man who could solve problems. This time those problems had teeth. Thankfully Tim hit level 10, and once he settled on his upgraded class their newest adventure could began in earnest.

Alex was a gamer. Gaming wasn't just a lifestyle. The essence of his favorite hobby was woven into his DNA. At least, that is what his parents liked to say after he pulled an all-night slaughterfest. The hordes of Morlock never saw him coming. What his parents didn't understand was playing games was Alex's chance to be the hero. The release of Revenant Online was going to change everything.

Some people just knew how to go out in style. Tim had never been one of those guys. Tim was always a planner. The plan was to get into college, graduate, and find a well-paying job. That plan was coming together nicely until he saw a presentation to get paid to play The Etheric Coast. At his graduation ceremony. After watching the company's employee recruitment video, Big Richie's words had a whole new meaning. He could spend his life going from a cubicle at work to a one-bedroom apartment and back again...or enter a virtual world of unlimited possibilities. 

Eternia was almost back to full strength, but the Duke was making her move to take over the kingdom for the Dark Goddess Vitaria. Now the Blue Dagger Society would have to fight on two fronts. They had to secure the kingdom before taking the fight to Vitaria.

 Does the Blue Dagger Society really want to go into this line of work? Their next quest would be decided over a heaping double stack of Joe's famous buttermilk pancakes. Doesn't everything work better with pancakes? King Rasmus has something Eternia needs. The Blue Dagger Society needs the experience. It was settled. They were about to embark on another epic adventure.

Alex never expected a game to change the way he looked at life, but the launch of Revenant Online changed his perception of the world as much as himself. The old him would never have the courage to make a move on a girl, but this time he was determined not to let the opportunity slip through his fingertips. Inside of the game, he wasn't just Alex, the high school outcast. He was a tank. The man who led his group into battle. In a world teetering on the brink of chaos, Alex was the bulwark between the darkness and the light.

Sollte der Endgegner nicht eigentlich am Ende kommen? Oder war die Konfrontation mit dem Kardinal nur der Auftakt zu einer Questreihe aus der Hölle?

Alex never expected to fall for his best friend's sister. Then they started playing Revenant Online together, and everything changed. Killing monsters and solving mysteries as a team made him see what he should have seen all along. Sana was more than Ben's sister. She was the woman who captured his heart.

Dylan McCormick is an average 18-year-old kid who graduated high school with his friends. The plus side of working at the family sandwich shop instead of going straight to university is he skipped gaining the freshman 15. The downside is no woman likes hearing, "Keep it down, my parents are upstairs...." A small indignity in exchange for free rent and a job that pays above minimum wage.

Dylan almost can't believe what he sees. The only werewolves that dare cross into the Master's territory are those with a death wish and teens participating in their rite of passage. The Master made his feelings clear. Phoenix is his city, and he doesn't want to share. Krista has plans of her own. She's tired of working for the royals and wants to branch out. Every investor knows that start-ups are risky, but one of hers has finally come to fruition. The Prince will be lost without her, but it's time to stop being a lackey and take control of her life.

Blowing up the Master's penthouse was one of the coolest moments of Dylan's life. Unfortunately, it turns out that being an action movie hero comes with a price. They have to kill the Master, or Dyani and her band of werewolves will descend upon Phoenix and do it for them. What they don't have is a lot of time. Seven days and the clock is ticking. The Templars have always stood for one thing. They fight against the darkness. Even if it comes wrapped in a cute little package that his daughter is interested in.

Vincent was on the hunt. His sister was still on the run. First, on a job to the alien planet Viridian and then beyond. It didn't make any sense. Wasn't one alien world enough? Not for Helen. She discovered a vast network of worlds connected through a system called The World Engine, and she was on the move. Looking for a way past the gravity well, keeping her ship stranded on Viridian. She was out there searching, and he was nipping at her heels.

Die ›Blue Dagger Society‹ wird endlich gegründet und das vierte Mitglied ihrer Gruppe, JaKobi, tritt der Gruppe bei. Wenn er erst einmal seine Angst vor dem Kämpfen überwunden hat, werden sie schon bald eine richtige Gilde sein. Tim gründet eine Klinik, um Bedürftige zu heilen. Sein Altruismus verärgert Kardinal Jepsom, aber eigentlich verärgert alles, was Tim tut, den Kardinal. Er muss immer einen Schritt voraus sein, wenn er Stufe Zehn und die ersten Klassenwechsel-Quests erreichen will. Tim wird vom Kardinal eingekerkert, der ihn von einer Horde wilder Monster umbringen lassen will.

Tim gewöhnt sich weiter an sein Leben im Spiel. Mit Shadowlilly und Cassie eine Gruppe zu gründen, ist eine Selbstverständlichkeit. Die Dynamik seines neuen Teams zu verstehen, ist nur der Anfang. Tim versucht verzweifelt, herauszufinden, für wen der Mann in Orange arbeitet. Da ist immer noch sein ursprünglicher Plan, das Spiel zu spielen und dafür bezahlt zu werden. Das könnte sich als schwierig erweisen, und sich den Kardinal zum Feind zu machen, indem er direkt für den Hohepriester arbeitet, war nicht geplant.

The void of space is dark and full of pirates. Holston Zakarian spent his entire life dedicated to shrinking the time it took to move objects from one place to another. With one invention, he became the richest man on Kalypso. But using his vast resources to shape the future was easy when weighed against the task of preparing his two sons to build on his legacy.

The race to Mars had ended generations ago, pushing those seeking fame to venture beyond known borders. Major corporations battled to be first in securing resources and the future, vying for ownership of a new galaxy, akin to historical westward settlers. A single blinking red light signaled a seismic shift—a colossal deposit of zosmodious ore that eclipsed all others. The catch? It lay on an uncharted planet, Code Name Viridian. Could this audacious find reshape the course of humanity, transcending even human boundaries?

Mercedes is a ticking time bomb, and the clock is running down. Edward is the love of her life. There is no scenario where Mercedes wouldn't choose him above everything else. Now he is gone again. She knows Edward hasn't been captured by pirates. He was offered to them like a sacrificial goat in exchange for additional support for the war effort. She doesn't care about any of that. All Mercedes wants is Edward, and she'll burn everything to ashes if that's what it takes to find him.

Project Viridian promised a new frontier, but for Helen, it's become an alien battleground. With her life flipped upside down, can Helen survive long enough to see rescue ships that might never arrive?

Manche Menschen wussten einfach, wie man stilvoll abtritt. Tim gehörte nie zu diesen Menschen. Tim war immer ein Planer. Sein Plan war es, aufs College zu gehen, seinen Abschluss zu machen und einen gut bezahlten Job zu finden. Dieser Plan ging gut auf, bis er eine Präsentation sah, bei der er dafür bezahlt werden würde, das neueste immersive Rollenspiel ›The Etheric Coast‹ zu spielen. Bei seiner Abschlussfeier. Nachdem er das Rekrutierungsvideo des Unternehmens gesehen hatte, bekamen die Worte von Big Richie eine ganz neue Bedeutung.
