You'd think being isekai'd to a new existence would be fun, especially when you find out you're the lord of a new kingdom. Except this kingdom is at war, and the stakes are the fate of humanity. Now, Matt’s going to have to figure out how to rule a Magic Kingdom at War, with magical elemental creatures, buildings that form out of the very fabric of reality and Heroes at his command against a never-ending horde of monsters. Not the reincarnation that he expected, but it's still better than working in an office cubicle.

This bundle includes The Nameless Restaurant, Chaotic Apéritifs, and Thaumaturgic Tapas.

Wu Ying, der ein Jahrzehnt nach seinem Exil in die Sekte des Sattgrünen Wassers zurückkehrt, stellt fest, dass seine Position und sein Platz innerhalb der Sekte im Wandel sind. Er ist stark genug, um ein Ältester zu sein, aber da er seinen Rang nicht durch die normalen Methoden erreicht hat, muss er sich gegen eifersüchtige und beunruhigte Rivalen behaupten. Dies erinnert ihn an seine eigene Vergangenheit, aber jetzt ist er ein Ältester und kann Veränderungen im größeren Stil durchführen.

Oder so erzählt man es sich. Doch Wu Ying, der durch die Lande jenseits dem Königreich der Shen reist, erkennt sowohl die kleineren als auch größeren Wahrheiten der realen Welt. Reichliche, unterschiedliche Regierungsformen zwischen Königreichen und Dörfern, zwischen unsterblichen Sekten und sterblichen Regierungen, eine jede mit ihrer ganz eigenen Interpretation.

Long Wu Ying hatte sich nie vorstellen können, einer Sekte beizutreten oder ein richtiger Kultivator zu werden.

Das Wettrennen ums Land ist vorbei. Zwei Jahre nach der Ankunft des Systems auf der Erde bleibt nur noch ein begrenztes Gebiet, das sich abzustecken lohnt und die Gruppen außerirdischer Neuankömmlinge fallen in einem mörderischen Ringen um die Kontrolle übereinander her.

His life a wasteland post-System integration, John Lee struggles to deal with the weight of a world irrevocably changed. Given great power by chance, his Levels a by-product of a rage that he finds unable to quench, John struggles to find the balance between a hatred for the System that destroyed his world and the benefits it gives him, allowing him to save even more. Yet, as he draws survivors across the Yukon to Whitehorse, dangers grow in the deep wilderness, out of sight. It’s a race between Leveling and safety, for John and his friends. One that they might be losing.

How much will you sacrifice to survive in a world turned game? When friends and family fall to monsters and aliens everyday, will you choose safety over freedom? These are the questions the survivors in the Yukon must ask themselves. New alien masters arrive, offering safety from ever stronger monsters in return for their freedom and future potential. Thrust into a position of power and influence by dint of his Levels, John must choose—not just for himself but Whitehorse itself. The price, however, might be more than he is willing to pay.

When John sets out for a weekend camping trip in the Yukon, he never could have imagined the world would be plunged into chaos by the System–a mystical energy wave that destroys electronics and grants game-like powers to humanity. Suddenly, animals are evolving, monsters are spawning, and John finds himself equipped with a character sheet and incredible, physics-defying skills.

Fool and Jackal returned, triumphant from their latest mission. As a reward, they get to babysit a spoiled rich kid as he levels up and maybe becomes a valuable asset. An easy job, until the Armageddon cultists showed up.

Returning to the Verdant Green Waters sect over a decade after his exile, Wu Ying finds his position and place within the Sect in flux. Strong enough to be an Elder but not having achieved his rank via the normal methods, he has jealous and worried rivals to contend with. It is reminiscent of his own past, but now, he's an Elder and able to enact transformation in a broader sense. Wu Ying must find his own place in the sect or leave it once and for all. The cultivation wounds he received in the south trouble him, and it will require time and resources - resources the Sect is able to provide.

Der zweite Handlungsabschnitt von Wu Yings Reise zur Unsterblichkeit beginnt in Die zweite Expedition, wo er und seine Gefährten nach einem Heilmittel für ein Gift suchen, das seinen Meister plagt. In der Wildnis und neuen Städten suchen sie nach seltenen Zutaten, während sie Assassinen und Mörder abwimmeln müssen.

Hal Mason's still going to find surviving the System Apocalypse challenging. While bringing in his latest fugitive, Hal's payday is interrupted by the translucent blue boxes that herald Earth's introduction to the System - a galaxy spanning wave of structured mystical energy that destroys all electronics and bestows game-like abilities upon mankind. With society breaking down and mutating wildlife rampaging through the city of Pittsburgh, those who remain will sacrifice anything for a chance at earning their next Level.

An diese Tatsache wird Mo Meng ein weiteres Mal erinnert, als das Namenlose Restaurant vor einer neuen Herausforderung steht. Magie und die Älteren, die sie nutzten, kehren in die Welt zurück.

Was als Möglichkeit begann, gemütlich die Jahrzehnte zu verbringen und ein paar Gäste zu bewirten, ist nun zu richtiger Arbeit geworden.

Faced with cavalry and horse archers alike, Matt Fang finds his armies out of position and reeling. He's going to have to pull back, concentrate his forces and pull off some miracle if he doesn't want to be a victim of his latest opponent.

In Toronto gibt es ein besonderes Restaurant. Sein Eingang besteht aus einer einfachen und schmucklosen Holztür, die mit einem farblosen Hochglanzlack bestrichen worden war und versteckt zwischen Mülltonnen und einer Feuertreppe liegt. Es gibt weder ein Schild noch sonst irgendwelche Hinweise darauf, was sich hinter der Tür verbirgt. Falls es trotzdem jemandem gelingt, das Restaurant aufzustöbern, findet er eine veraltete und abgenutzte Einrichtung vor. Wenn man sehr großzügig ist, könnte man es durchaus als gemütlich bezeichnen.
