Rok und seine Gefährten machen sich auf den Weg zu einem alten Schlachtfeld. Sie haben gehört, dass sie dort jede Menge EP, Glanz und Gloria abräumen können. Genau das, was sie brauchen, um ihre Level massiv zu erhöhen und im Spiel voranzukommen. Doch die Reise wird beschwerlicher, als sie sich das vorgestellt haben. Vor allem winken ihnen ständig Quests zu, die erfüllt werden wollen. So vergeuden sie viel Zeit damit, zu questen – so zumindest empfindet Rok es nach einer Weile.

Humanoid robots are surely in our future, but their uses are likely to be limited to body guarding, childcare, companionship, and sex. Other chores can better be done by smart non-humanoid machines designed for those specific tasks. But for these limited purposes, the best robots must be so realistic that they are indistinguishable from live people. Elasa is such a robot. You can't tell her nature if she doesn't reveal it. You can talk with her, embrace her, kiss her, and she is the perfect woman. Until she becomes the first conscious robot.

Trapped inside the game that they once loved, Iron Riot are now faced with a slow death by dehydration as their bodies in the real world are left to rot. The Masters, enigmatic creators of Strata, are willing to let anyone die so long as it preserves their perfect imaginary world. But there was one thing that they haven’t accounted for: A rat with a plan. If Iron Riot can finish the game before the timer runs out, defeat the Archdukes, beat the system, and show everyone what they are capable of, then they’ll have the attention of the whole world.

Fate has once again played a trick on Altai. The chance to evacuate from Rhapsody was nothing more than an empty promise. Victory turned into defeat, and friends turned into enemies. Past achievements lost their value and disappeared. All hope was gone, and he had to start all over again. The last act of the tragedy turned out to only be a prelude, with new challenges looming on the horizon.

Sergeant Harry Kabutt has seen better days. He's been shot down, blown up, and tossed to the wayside by the corporations, left to rot in a ratty apartment in gang territory. His own limbs? Shredded, cut away, and left to rot on a mountainside. The replacement mods? Likely to fall apart or leave him to die of sepsis. No longer an operator of the feared APS mecha, Kabutt has hit rock bottom. But he's on foot, he's armed, and he's in serious pain…now it's time to take that pain and spread it around the mega-city of Artem. See who flinches first.

Transformed into a dragonblood and branded as an outlaw, Deklin is forbidden from advancing past the first threshold alongside his growing band of exiles.

His wish led to the addition of a new system to Genesis Online: siege mechanics. Rival guilds can now declare war and attack each others' cities. If the attackers win, they take ownership of the defeated settlement. With few details on how the new system will work, Kevin must build up defenses to protect the town of Prosperity. He will need to train hard with his guild members and recruit allies to ensure they will have enough defenders when the attack finally comes. Will they be ready to withstand the forces of an enemy determined to get revenge?

Juliet Bianchi was once just another working drone, struggling to survive in a world where megacorporations reigned, information was power, and that power was worth killing for. Then she stumbled upon a kidnapping gone wrong and ended up with a stolen AI chip that took her from the bottom of the barrel to a top-tier realm of mercs, freelancers, and assorted unsavory folk.

Die Welt der Verwandelten geht weiter! Eine gekidnappte Schwester, ein mächtiger Feind auf den Fersen, und die Erde in der Gewalt furchtbarer Monster. Was braucht man mehr, um ein wahrer Held zu werden und die Menschheit zu retten? Leider nur hat Mark Derwin im Moment größere Sorgen, denn er will nichts, als seine Schwester Puschel wiederfinden. Außerdem muss er sie als die Person zurückbringen, die sie immer gewesen ist, und nicht als einen bloßen Klumpen Noa. Um das zu erreichen, ist er zu allem bereit, sogar dazu, das Unmögliche zu tun und mit dem Spiel zusammenzuarbeiten.

He's soon addicted to this fantasy enabler—and it isn't long before Cardigan is accused of dealing. When he fails to convince the mechanized jury of his innocence, the state strips his badge and sentences him to fifteen years in suspended animation. Four years later, he's awakened. His sentence has been changed, but no one will tell him why.

Cat LeBlanc's success against the Antithesis in the megacity of New Montreal has raised her profile amongst the samurai. And despite her antiauthoritarian attitude and appetite for destruction in combat, she's been assigned to assume command of Burlington's defenses. Against her better judgment—and though it means taking time away from her girlfriend, Lucy, and their adopted gang of children, "the kittens"—Cat accepts the mission.

Bisher hat Altai immer Erfolg gehabt, aber dieses Mal scheint ihn das Glück im Sperrgebiet zu verlassen.

Er selbst entkommt nur knapp dem Tod. Jetzt hängt Altais Leben von einem experimentellen neuronalen Netzwerk und einer außerirdischen Kreatur ab, deren einziger Zweck es ist, sein Bewusstsein zu unterjochen und ihn in eine lebende Waffe zu verwandeln.

Andrey has finally obtained the first of the five swords he needs to complete the Goddess of Fate's quest. Now his path is taking him to the subterranean city of the Gremlins, Arkem. Gremlins are unpleasant, rascally creatures, with a twisted system of logic and a penchant for limitless chaos. So trying to negotiate with them is always fraught with danger. Fortunately, they happen to worship the mechanisms of the Ancients, which are somehow, mysteriously, connected to Andrey's hidden "Slider" class. This means that Andrey has a chance of recovering the second sword after all.

Commander Jay Luckrun is a bit more than a dorky weirdo these days. He's a dungeon crawler of the multiverse and a relentless killer of thousands of men and monsters. People think he's to blame for the spread of the apocalypse, too! Some of that might be true, but Jay still thinks of himself as a hero of comedy. But when a secretive group of villains gets empowered by the System and attacks the people close to Jay, he might have to lean into his infamy more. He might have to go all out to seek vengeance.

In der virtuellen Realität ist nichts echt. Pseudo-Orks fechten Scheinkämpfe gegen falsche Elfen aus. Magier besiegen ihre Feinde mit der digitalen Illusion eines Kampfzaubers. Doch hinter jedem Spiel steckt etwas Größeres. Der Mensch kann nicht aus seiner Haut und wird immer versuchen, andere zu übervorteilen oder gar zu verletzen — selbst wenn das echte Verluste bis hin zum Tod in der realen Welt zur Folge hat.
