"To wage war against the Bohao cultists, who have essentially taken control of both worlds, you need to think strategically. Eliminating the leadership seems logical, but with no access to the central region where the cult's leaders hide, that's a dead end. Hunting down individual cultists would take centuries, and they'd just recruit more in the meantime.
So what do we do? The best approach would be to cut off all supply lines of the ancient substance they rely on and destroy every concentration camp where they keep the unfortunates they intend to sacrifice on their altar. This should force the cult's leadership to come out of their strongholds and into the outlying tiers—which is exactly what the Seekers are after.
The more enemies they attract, the richer the rewards from their downfall!"
"What would happen if our world turned into a computer game?
It might sound tempting at first, but there's one small detail you should know: in this game, people are nothing but non-playable characters, useful only for the service they provide to the real players. Experience, development, loot, levels—none of that is for us. Our role is merely to dance to the tune of our masters, who have come to our world to turn it into a character farm and a space for their own entertainment.
Doesn't sound quite as nice anymore, does it? But nobody ever gave us any choice in the matter: the update known as 'Earth' has already been installed!
If anybody has a problem with that . . . well, that's their own personal problem. The system will devour everyone!"
"All or nothing. Life or death. There is no third option. Neither the ancients, nor outside forces, nor Chaos itself can find any other way to preserve the integrity of the world other than to destroy Archduke Maximilian Valevsky.
They send him on a mission that can only be completed under one condition—Maximilian must die. And if he doesn't fulfill this mission, everyone he holds dear will perish in his stead.
It seems like a hopeless situation. Someone must die. But who? Perhaps it's the world itself that is setting such harsh terms?"
"Hearth—a unique autonomous city existing outside the bounds of any empire. Neither light nor dark. A city-state that has been declared a free economic zone, home to the only portal in the land of the Light capable of communicating with the dark lands.
It would seem like an ideal opportunity for development, but fate once again has other plans. Destroying the aliens gave rise to a new disaster, even greater in scale, which now threatens to wipe all life from the face of the planet.
Once again, the former doomed soldier must take matters into his own hands and save the world from new enemies. But this time, he's not alone. He has a whole city behind him!"
"The law of the jungle is straightforward—all means are justified in one's pursuit of ascension. After all, it's the result that matters—not how you achieve it.
And yet the end doesn't always justify the means—especially when the ascension of one requires the suffering of hundreds. The Heavens do not take kindly to such acts.
And so it came to pass that the Seekers have been forced to take matters into their own hands, bringing light to places where it had never shone before. However, the Bohao Cult has turned out to be far stronger than initially thought, with roots deeply embedded in both the human and demon worlds.
But who cares? The stronger the enemy, the better the spoils! The Seekers live by that principle alone!"
"The offworlders are defeated. The Lithoids have been destroyed. It seems like a long-awaited peace is about to befall Hearth, but the servants of Chaos have their own designs. They're eager to destroy the trouble-maker and control him like some kind of puppet. Once a doomed soldier, always a doomed soldier.
But Archduke Maximilian Valevsky is not going to stand for this state of affairs. If there's a fight brewing, he's ready to wage war against the world, including the gods themselves! This is the only way to achieve greatness."
"Hello again! It's still me, Max, and I'm still one of the Selected!
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!
So, everybody was trying to set us up? To hell with them! Yes, we're all on our own, but now we have our very own Dungeon—we just have to get those dumb gnomes to work for us. Oh, and find out more about these goblins that swiped our waystone . . ."
"The obliteration of the settlers' ark hasn’t gone without consequence—the ancients have struck back. Anomalies have vanished, all the higher-ranking Nascent Gods have fallen, and the passage between the Tiers has been sealed.
Cultists are on the rise, determined to destroy everything that remains. The world is spiraling into chaos, ruled by a single law: kill or be killed. Yet the Seekers refuse to back down or surrender to fate. When the whole world stands against you, it only means one thing—there will be plenty of spoils!
For the Heavens would accept nothing less!"
"Es sind dunkle Zeiten für Tailyn Vlashich, den zwölfjährigen Alchemisten. Er ist aus dem Reich verbannt worden, die Akademie hat ihn im Hauruckverfahren herausgeschmissen und ein ruchloser Killer ist auf ihn gehetzt worden. Man hat ihn nach ganz unten, auf Level 1, zurückgesetzt. Aber während nicht viele Erwachsene fähig gewesen wären, mit all diesen Problemen klarzukommen, ist Tailyn aus einem anderen Holz geschnitzt. Und er hat Hilfe: zwei Mentoren, seine Freundin und einen Freund. Und nicht nur das - irgendwo im Büro des Dekans der Akademie befindet sich ein uraltes Tagebuch, in dem das Geheimnis des Verstecks des Drachenblutes niedergeschrieben wurde. Es ist an der Zeit, dort vorbeizuschauen und es in die Finger zu bekommen. Sie müssen nur noch eine kleine Hürde nehmen: Wie sollen sie in das bestbewachte Gebäude des Planeten gelangen?"
"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.'"
"Die Magische Akademie ... eine geheimnisumwitterte und unergründliche Institution. Menschen aus allen Ecken der unterschiedlichen Imperien eifern danach, dort zu studieren, Zugang zu ihrem unermesslichen Wissensschatz zu erhalten und die angesehensten Magier der Welt zu werden. Tailyn Vlashich war einer der wenigen Glücklichen, die ohne Aufnahmeprüfung zugelassen wurden. Kaum war er hineingekommen, warteten das Training, die Arena, der Unterricht und eine interessante Auffassung dessen, was sich dreitausend Jahre zuvor abgespielt hatte, auf ihn, und zur Krönung ein dynamisches Labyrinth und die Möglichkeit, mit dem Akademieleiter zu sprechen. Er war schließlich derjenige, der den Schlüssel zum Geheimnis des Drachenbluts besaß.
Aber wie findet man Zeit zum Lernen, wenn der eigene Mentor ein Problem hat, das er allein nicht lösen kann? Wieder einmal führt Tailyns Weg ihn weit weg von den lauten Sälen der Akademie, und wieder einmal ist es das Leben selbst, das die Rolle seines getreuen Lehrmeisters übernimmt."
"The God of the Querancy Cult has been defeated. The School of Spirit Power in the First Tier has begun to recover, demons have been driven away, traitors found, and criminals punished. The First Tier of the human world has achieved an idyllic state of peace for the first time in over a thousand years!
But does idyll suit Seekers? The Second Tier of the human world remains closed to Zander and Vyllea, so the Seekers' attention turns to the demon world. An elite school in the second circle? Well, why not? The demons have had it easy for a long time! It’s time for them to find out just how much of a handful two conjoined Seekers can be!"
