Despite his youth, Declan Idrys knows the evils of the world — the brigands plaguing the King's lands, the monsters lurking in the wooded depths. Together with his companion Ryn, a horse of peculiar talent, he has spent a decade beneath the bloody banners of mercenary guilds hunting precisely such wickedness. When a troubling contract goes sideways, Declan and Ryn are thrust into a war thought legend and long-ended — one so old it is synonymous with a time when dragons still ruled the western skies. As dead men rise from their graves and terrible beasts descend from the north, Declan must choose: flee an ancient rising horror, or face it and learn to wield an ageless power all his own. Centuries pass, but the Blood of Kings does not fade.

This story takes place after First Contact/Behold Humanity and Dark Ages.

The Holy Empire is in decline. Religious and cultural schisms wreak havoc on its internal politics, revolutions are brewing in neighboring kingdoms, and the aristocratic houses play endless power games while the Emperor clings to what little influence he has left.

Frankly, he would much rather be anywhere else.

She is ready, at last, for some peace and quiet. Unfortunately, her job does not stay comfortable for long.

October, 2042. An extinction-level asteroid is on a collision course with Earth.

His only chance: permanently upload his mind into Viridian Gate Online, a brand-new ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG.

He dives into AlterWorld — a sword-and-sorcery MMORPG — alongside trusted friends and the woman he loves, seeking the immortality that the real world will never give him.

A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn't know how right he was. Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight — much to the chagrin of Marcus, the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them. Taking over the world is not so easy.

Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.

Strangely, she seems to have a new body, retaining all the abilities of her game character she spent years levelling — but wasn't that character a demonic combat mage? And who is this pretty blond woman she's become? Better not let the demons know of her titanic combat capabilities. Maybe her modest healing abilities could be provided as a service instead.
