Nico, a young dragon of barely fifty, is rudely chased from his home by a group of murderous adventurers. Of his entire clutch, only he and one sister remained, but now he is alone. Isolated and hungry, Nico’s magic awakens, bonding him with Cami, a brave young woman. To hide from the adventurers’ pursuit, Nico takes on human form. However, once they discover that both he and Cami have magical abilities, they are required by law to attend the Imperial Academy.

Taken from life as an office drone by a trickster god, Tim finds himself in the magical world of Iocusinte, where change is his only constant. It grants him great potential, enough to be sought out by different factions looking to use him for their own ends. That potential, however, is mercurial. His Class and very appearance shift at random. If Tim is to survive long enough to enjoy this new world and the friends he's making, then he'll have to solve the riddle of his nature and learn to master the uncontrollable.

Trust is a valuable commodity, and Nico has very little of it to spare. Discovering the condition of other dragons in the empire rocked Nico. Now he has to decide how to respond. Is it time to spread his wings and fly, or will Nico double down and learn the power these humans have to teach him? It isn't really trust when both sides are trying to use the other.

Die Sirene hat Alarm gegeben, und alte Fraktionen des Multiversums rücken auf. Die Erde im Allgemeinen und Silas im Besonderen sind zu heiß begehrten Gütern geworden. Das System sollte der Erde eine Probezeit gewähren, aber die Invasion beginnt. Silas wird entweder neue Feinde schaffen oder neue Verbündete gewinnen, und das Schicksal der Erde könnte von seinen Entscheidungen abhängen.

Despite monsters and a small army of goblins and skeletons, Dave and family have survived their first few weeks in the harsh world of Eloria. Well, for the most part...Eight-year-old Sara has been captured by the goblin scout, Krinnk. Nobody is sure if she was taken to be a snack or some twisted desire to protect her. Dave has found a new lease on life, a new connection with his family and a new sense of purpose. Neither he nor Emily are going to let a monster get away with their little girl. But things are never quite as simple as they seem.

Change is life. Consistency is a lie. Control is an illusion. Those are the words which greeted Tim upon his arrival in this new world which has become his home. They are the mantra that he has been forced to live. But are they true? Is there room for him to nudge his reality in the direction he wants to go? If he has to change so be it. He’ll ride the waves and make it work for him. This time he is determined to become Unstoppable.

The Nelsons have grown in just about every way since being exiled to Eloria. Now they will face their biggest challenge yet. For all that they thought they had begun to understand what faced them, it has now become apparent that there are larger forces at work and more powerful enemies behind the scenes. The monstrous dark mage Seimion seems almost unstoppable with a host of fiends at his command and behind him is the mysterious Master. If they are to save not only their home but the very kingdom of Albia from utter chaos, all of the Nelson's will be required.

After he was killed and unceremoniously dumped into what he thought was a digital world, life has thrown Frank one curve after another. Now, he is starting to have questions about what is real and what isn't. He will have to walk his way between the worlds of adventurers and monsters, both of whom want things from him. His feelings run amok as he tries to figure out what hybrid intelligences dream about. Hopefully, along the way he can figure out what is happening, and learn to resist integration into the system by a mysterious AI (...which may not even be an AI at all).

Nico has faced threats from men, threats from dragons, and horrors beyond the physical world, but he's tired of reacting. Nico may like lying around on piles of gold, but that doesn't mean he's going to wait around any longer. He's going to take the initiative and that includes freeing the enslaved dragons and establishing Scale Nation, a place for all dragons.

Nico's understanding of the world continues to grow. He has encountered Draconis and realizes he can't count on help from the great wyrm. Now, Nico must learn to ride the storm and add his second class. Evolution awaits, as do new threats and new allies.

Dave has been wandering through life for a long time. His day job bores him and he never seems to be able to meet his family's expectations. The only escape he's ever had is his love of MMORPGs. But when he becomes the subject of a test without even knowing it, he's portaled into a game-world called Eloria with no way out. It's a frequent daydream of his, however, in none of those dreams did his wife and daughter ever accompany him. Now, Dave must balance protecting his family with exploring his dream...oh, and trying to stay alive.

Tim wants to find a place in his new world. He wants friends, but bringing them along puts them in harm’s way. He will have to learn to control his ever changing classes to gain the power he needs. But learning about who he truly faces makes it clear the deck is stacked against him. He must ask what he is willing to pay for the power to face it. But some evils just have to be killed at any price.

Die Apokalypse ist da. Jetzt dreht sich alles um Kontrolle. Wer wird die reichen Ressourcen einer neu aufgenommenen Welt beherrschen? Mehrere Systeme, Sekten, Gilden und Überfalltrupps haben alle dieses Ziel im Visier. Aber Silas glaubt, dass Kontrolle mehr bedeutet als nur Land und Ressourcen. Er hat es sich zum Ziel gesetzt, sich das Herz und die Seele der Menschen zu erobern, während er die Erde zur stärksten Macht macht, die sie sein kann.

Die Drachen sind befreit, und nun ist die Bühne für den finalen Kampf gegen die Albträume bereit. Nico muss stärker werden und sein Königreich der Drachen erweitern, wenn sie dem Kommenden standhalten wollen. Ileria gehört ihnen, aber nur der Aufstieg eines neuen Drachenkaisers wird ausreichen, um es intakt zu halten. Nico muss die Gehörnte Krone suchen.

Mit weniger als einem Monat Zeit, um die Erde auf das vorzubereiten, was geschehen wird, muss Ryan alle Register ziehen, um so viele Menschen wie möglich zu retten. Natürlich war ein System allein schon schlimm genug, aber die Erde wurde zu einer umkämpften Welt erklärt, und jetzt ist es nicht mehr nur die Erde, die konkurriert, sondern mindestens zwei Systeme, die versuchen, die Kontrolle über die Erde zu erlangen.

Nico hat sich Bedrohungen durch Menschen, Bedrohungen durch Drachen und Schrecken jenseits der physischen Welt gestellt, aber er ist es leid, nur zu reagieren. Nico mag es zwar, auf Goldhaufen herumzuliegen, aber das bedeutet nicht, dass er noch länger warten wird. Er will die Initiative ergreifen, was die Befreiung der versklavten Drachen und die Gründung der Schuppennation, eines Ortes für alle Drachen, einschließt.

Nicos Verständnis der Welt wächst stetig. Er hat Draconis getroffen und erkannt, dass er nicht auf die Hilfe des großen Wyrms zählen kann. Nun muss Nico lernen, den Sturm zu reiten und seine zweite Klasse hinzuzufügen. Eine Evolution erwartet ihn, ebenso wie neue Bedrohungen und neue Verbündete.

Die Erde kämpft, aber es gibt Hoffnung. Die Abmachungen, die Silas getroffen hat, haben Ressourcen und Ausbilder auf die Erde gebracht. Er hat einigen Anführern geholfen, ein Verständnis dafür zu entwickeln, was sie erwartet.

Vertrauen ist ein wertvolles Gut, und Nico hat nur wenig davon zu entbehren. Als Nico den Zustand der anderen Drachen im Imperium entdeckte, erschütterte ihn das. Jetzt muss er entscheiden, wie er darauf reagieren will. Soll er seine Flügel ausbreiten und fliegen, oder wird Nico sich anpassen und die Macht erlernen, die diese Menschen ihm beibringen können? Es ist nicht wirklich Vertrauen, wenn beide Seiten versuchen, die andere zu benutzen.

Countdown setzt die Geschichte fort und zeigt das signifikante Wachstum sowohl der Charaktere als auch ihrer Kräfte. Silas findet einen Mentor, lernt, das System zu überlisten, wird verraten und findet ein fünftes Teammitglied.
