Fortunately, there are alternatives—and Blue intends to explore all of them.

After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, he lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of whom have bad histories with him. But he has not returned to pursue vengeance or start a fight — all Marcus wants is to reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two. Alas, the world didn't stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening at large, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way — and if nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.

After five years of adventuring, Arcanist Sylar Spellsight now spends his days catching up on Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets discovered throughout his travels.

Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, Sylar isn't entirely sure he wants to return home. Learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining — though their strange 'cultivation' practices and lack of appreciation for Essence manipulation may hold hidden depths that neither side has yet to fully realise.

The story of a semi-benevolent dragon who occasionally does the right thing for the wrong reasons. Protecting villagers from marauding soldiers?

A comedy about a dragon whose self-interest and morality are more aligned than he'd like to admit.

When an unusual mage chooses him as an apprentice anyway, his life begins to change.
