We put an end to the war with the Dark Faction, but still humanity's problems are far from over. More than half of the game's promised tong of safety has elapsed, and yet humankind is no closer to forming a unified front. We've just begun building one of the 12 planetary shield generators necessary to give Earth complete protection, but we don't have enough construction materials, players, or time. Should we ask the parallel magocratic world for help? After all, an invasion from outer space would hurt them just as bad. The mages, though, have plenty of problems of their own.  

Wie ist es für einen kleinen, segelohrigen Goblin-Kräutersammler, wenn er die Rolle des Dunklen Herrschers spielen muss, der Hauptgegner für die vielen hundert Millionen Spieler von Reich ohne Grenzen? Wie ergeht es ihm als Bannerträger einer Armee von menschenfressenden Riesen, Zyklopen, Skeletten, Geistern und anderen Ausgeburten der Hölle, denen ihr anspruchsloser Herrscher vollkommen gleichgültig ist? Unser Held hat nicht um dieses wenig beneidenswerte Schicksal gebeten, aber es gibt kein Zurück für ihn.

Die große Jagd ist vorüber. Am Ende war es Timothy gelungen, seine unschätzbare Trophäe zu behalten. Ein Sieg? Vielleicht. Aber Ruhm und Adrenalin sind wie starke Drogen - man wird schnell von ihnen abhängig. Ohne sie wird das Leben grau und öde. Darüber hinaus macht Timothys schöne Geliebte - nicht nur die aus dem realen Leben - offene Andeutungen darüber, dass sie einen interessanteren Verehrer finden könnte. Was soll ein talentierter Spieler in diesem Fall tun? Die Antwort liegt auf der Hand.

Als Timothy endlich Arbeit als Tester eines beliebten MMORPG findet, ist er in seinem Traumjob gelandet. Jetzt verdient er gutes Geld und kann tun, was ihm wirklich Spaß macht: ein schönes, realistisches Computerspiel spielen. Er ist jedoch nicht irgendein gewöhnlicher Spieler wie so viele andere. Timothy ist äußerst talentiert und hebt sich von der Masse ab. Tatsächlich hat er nach Ansicht der gesichtslosen Menge entschieden zu viel Glück und Erfolg.

Würdest du über 60 Stunden pro Woche ohne Gehalt und ohne einen einzigen freien Tag für ein großes Unternehmen schuften, das dir eine ungewisse Bezahlung zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt verspricht?

Ceasefires have one big downside: They eventually come to an end. And when they do, once again game nodes are set ablaze, and platoons of Dark Faction soldiers threaten our customary world with destruction. The enemy has grown stronger and more numerous. To make matters worse, they also got their hands on even deadlier weaponry. They have learned painful lessons from previous encounters and adjusted their tactics accordingly.

What is it like for a small flap-eared goblin herbalist to play the role of the Dark Sovereign, the main antagonist for Boundless Realm's hundreds of millions of players? What is it like to find one's self the standard bearer for an army of man-eating giants, cyclops, skeletons, ghosts, and other hellspawn, who don't give a damn about their modest little ruler? Our hero didn't desire such an unenviable fate, but there is no way back now. But the longer he plays, the better he understands that he is just a pawn in someone else's game.

A war has broken out in the galaxy! The great spacefaring races are all entangled in the fight, and even at the very edge of the known universe, humanity can hear the echoes of its distant bloody battles. Gnat is with the Shiamiru crew on the front lines. He's just changed class to Listener, and his friends find themselves right in the thick of this grand interstellar war....

Gnat is on his voyage with the Shiamiru, all the while trying to find backup for humanity among the great spacefaring races. After all, based on what he's already seen, he knows not to count on the good sense of his own kind. Even facing an external threat, the people of our Earth cannot see past their internal squabbles and come together to fight as one. Gnat does not expect gratitude from his leaders for taking such matters into his own hands, but when have laws and rules ever stopped our intrepid hero before?

At long last, an extraterrestrial civilization reached out and made the First Contact. However, no one on Earth took their communique for the genuine article. In a similar vein, very few people appreciated just how little time our new suzerains had promised to keep our planet safe. Regardless, the end of their message showed humankind how to access a mysterious game. The objective of this game is unclear. No one can say where its servers are located, and its inner workings are beyond comprehension.

The enemy's at the gate, the situation getting worse by the second, and Ruslan's employer hasn't done a good job (to put it mildly) of securing his successes. Now the star system Unatari is under threat from the Aliens. It's high time Ruslan came back in order to rescue everything he holds dear from imminent destruction and save Perimeter Defense - the game that has become his life.

The great hunt is over. In the end, Timothy managed to keep his invaluable prize. A victory? Perhaps. But glory and adrenaline are very powerful narcotics, and tolerance builds quickly. Once deprived of them, life immediately becomes gray and bleak. What's more, his beautiful lover is beginning to transparently hint that she could find herself a more interesting beau. What is a talented player to do in this case? The solution suggests itself: rush headlong into the most dangerous adventures, taking risks and walking the blade of a knife.

The Empire is splitting at the seams. The Great Houses refuse to obey the Throne World and have begun to conduct increasingly independent politics. Sensing the weakness of the central government, even the most loyal star systems of the Imperial Core are refusing to take orders from above. Is this just a string of coincidences, or a coordinated campaign? Can a disjointed humanity rally around a strong leader to deflect an alien invasion? Who of the many figures in intergalactic politics can rise to this challenge?

When Timothy finally found work as a tester for a popular online MMORPG, his lifelong dream was fulfilled. And now, he earns money (and pretty good money, at that) just for doing what he loves - playing a beautiful and realistic computer game. But he isn't some typical run-of-the-mill player, like the millions of others. Timothy is truly capable and talented, and stands out from the crowd. In fact, the faceless masses consider him far too lucky and successful.

Would you be prepared to work for free? How would you like to bust your hump for a large corporation 60-plus hours a week without a wage or a single day off for the vague promise of some mysterious perks in the distant future? You'd refuse point blank, wouldn't you? But what if the job in question was playing a state-of-the-art fantasy MMORPG game? And what if this was the only thing you're really good at? Especially considering that your in-game partner is someone really special to you - and this person already lives a virtual life?

A strange body that refuses to obey you; a weird game you can't quit until your contract expires; a world teeming with powerful and very real enemies. The game in which your reputation and faction relationship are the only things that matter. These are the conditions of the agreement Ruslan signs without reading. The only thing he remembers is that he's been contracted to command a space fleet in a brand-new game he knows nothing about. Objective: to survive for six months.
