Lo Fennrick has been through Hell—literally. Surviving the levels of the Tutorial has been hard enough. His body has taken beating after beating, and his mind has disintegrated numerous times over. But on top of all that, it seems the gods have voted on his removal from the game, which would condemn him to an unknown future. Their aversion is hardly unexpected. After all, he's already assassinated an emperor, murdered the king of Acheron, killed thousands of others, and eaten human flesh. Few would be disappointed if he suddenly exploded into a cloud of confetti.

For thousands of years, there has been a cycle: a Demon King rises and conquers, and a Hero is reborn a hundred years later to defeat him. Each time, civilizations are ground to dust beneath the Demon King's hordes, but humanity has remained secure in the belief that a Hero of legend will always save them. There's just one slight problem. It's only been 23 years since the Demon King's latest rise, and this time, he's already conquered more than half the world. If humanity simply waits for the Hero's return, there may be no world left for him to save.

When former MMORPG champion (and current indebted, isolated madman) Lo Fennrick joined the Tutorial, it seemed grit, dedication, and a willingness to kill were all he needed in order to beat each hellish floor. But as he enters the ashy wastes of this next one, he finds a familiar face awaiting him—alongside a challenge that might prove to be more than he can handle.

Sebast'jan Mart v svoem dele odin iz luchshih, no dazhe on vsego lish' karta v besprestanno tasujushhejsja kolode.

Boredom was killing Jay, not in a dramatic way, but in the life of stifled potential way. He wanted more out of life. Then, without any warning, he found himself part of an experiment with not even so much as the courtesy of a "how do you do?". It wasn't really all bad, though. The fit, busty babes outnumbered him 30 to one. Now, Jay has to fight to survive. He has to conquer the dungeon or die. On top of that, he has to juggle a bunch of gorgeous women who are all stuck in the same life or death fight as him.

Derek Smith, the real-life fantasy dwarf (who's also a cool dude!) finally conquered the mine-turned-Dungeon. Finally, it's time to take a step to the surface and see the new, changed Earth! With a seemingly impossible goal in mind—reviving a Fairy Princess isn't a simple task, after all—he would need all the help he could get. The first step is to befriend the people of the nearby Neo Village. Thankfully, he already has their bravest hero in his pocket . . .

Прошлое не отпускает. Если полжизни резал глотки во имя интересов Короны, от него не укрыться, какую личину ни нацепи.

Но проблемы, как и прежде, ходят за ним по пятам, а невинные просьбы старинного приятеля иной раз чреваты куда более серьезными неприятностями, чем самые опрометчивые приказы главы тайной службы. На этот раз все началось с таинственного ограбления королевского казначейства.

Ruwen wants nothing more than to relax in the Third Secret and recover from the terrible damage to his core. Escaping the ambush in the Infernal Realm had come at a steep cost—one that means no Spirit use until he heals. Unfortunately, rest is one more thing that needs to wait, because the Bamboo Viper Master’s trial started days ago, and not participating results in the purging of his Step knowledge. Not something he wants to risk.
