You are a brief candle in a long night. You pass through, and we are grateful, but the blackness will take you.

Yet another village full of complaints. Daine listened, delivered all the justice she had power to give, and prepared to move on.

Realm Online: Oathbreaker

Steve’s just an accountant with a serious MMO addiction.

In the game, the people of Tamernil live under the harsh rule of a vile bureaucrat, and Bokta—an outcast blood witch practicing forbidden magic—has a bold plan to save them all. She’ll need to summon a powerful demon, one she’s been watching through a scrying mirror for years.

There’s just one hitch: the mighty demon she’s been watching isn’t he real. He’s a character in Realm of Crafted War, and the man behind the keyboard is a far cry from a savior.

Violently dragged into the world of Realm Online, Steve will have to learn how the hell he's going to survive, all while masquerading as Maxkrannar, the demon Oathbreaker he's supposed to be.

A Dark Path 2.jpg

Forsaken Talents 1: A Dark Path

The Seven Portals to Wonder changed the world. The most advanced AI ever created powered the worlds, bringing infinite possibilities and endless adventure to everyone across the globe. War on Earth practically ceased as most of the planet's population became addicted to the game.

Ben Hales was no different. He spent a few years saving enough money to buy lifetime passes for himself and his daughter, Ingrid. Now he has the cash, and Ingrid just turned 16, the minimum age required to play.

Not everything—or everyone—in Wonder is quite as it seems. Evil lurks both inside and outside the game, and that evil finds Ben all too soon.

Ravaged by loss and consumed by hatred, Ben awakens an ancient necromancer and a host of long-forgotten classes. Now he's building his citadel of darkness and raising an army of the dead with a singular goal: revenge.

If it means the death of everyone inside Wonder... so be it.
