In the XLVII century, a method was finally invented to remain in virtual reality indefinitely, and the first thing they plan to do with it is a game system that imitates, and perhaps surpasses, classic tabletop role-playing games. And as advertising the most famous RPG group of the time —ARES —will hold a tournament where four teams will participate until one completes the Mysterious Final Mission, all die or one team exterminates the others.... more>>

It should be noted that in this work I will be faithful to everything that the role-playing games represent and in effect I will roleplay every action the characters take to determine their success or not. In a few words, NEVER EVEN I KNOW HOW IS GOING TO FINISH OR WHO WILL WIN.

Gloveer Sibjaan (53), one of the Salt Barons of Vara has been having trouble this past year. ... more>>

Matters at home are chaotic. Isbrun, Gloveer’s eldest isn’t shaping up as the heir he should have been and Gloveer’s other 3 children have issues of their own their father has to deal with.

Even worse, dark clouds cover the horizon, and the abnormal rains are a damper on the salt trade. Shipments are irregular these days and there isn’t much sympathy for a salt baron without money.

Even at the best of times, the hawks were never friends to the mercantile barons and naval faction. They become bolder and ruder as Vara’s ally and neighbour Aaljau gears up for war against the So Empire once more. The front looks desperate this time, even Gloveer has to admit, as the So buy the full support of the recently formed Princips United to the North to support their campaign.

But even occupation of the Diostejan Peninsula by its historic foe might not be the true threat. As the skies change in Vara, so do the animals in the woods. Tales of leviathans surfacing in the seas reach Vara from far ranging fisherman. Worse, reports of Princips soldiers flinging fire from their hands lower the morale of the Varan council.

As Gloveer wonders how to keep his mercantile interests afloat until his second son can come of age, a letter arrives for him with a cryptic warning from a familiar name: his own. <<less

Twenty-Three million souls. ... more>>

It takes twenty-three million souls to feed the horrors of the Great Beyond for a soul to cross over and land among the living. And even then, it would only be a husky of its true self after the whimsical gods of the void got their claws on it.

Still, after eons untold, its final crossing shall take place in blood-soaked lands, driving fear into the hearts of its inhabitants.

Alistair finds little wrong with himself, that's not considering he somehow was the last living being to have taken part in a battle to decide the fate of the Human world.

He remembers walking shoulder to shoulder with his brothers in arms, being showered in the viscera of his closest friends.

He also remembers being stabbed by a twelve foot monstrosity as it picked him up with its sharpened blade of a hand, relishing his stunned expression and the soon to be blossoming of pain as it brought him closer to its putrid mouth.

And yet, here he stood in a silent battlefield littered with bodies for acres of land.

What the hell was he supposed to do now?

And equally important, what the hell was he supposed to do with this orb of golden light?! <<less
