Online Fiction

After the Challenge of the Ithkari, everything had fallen apart for Kurt and his friends. As his game world and real life collided, he had all but walked away from the world of Darklands Online entirely. The departure was short-lived, however, as one last mystery presented itself. Embroiled in a new plot with a promise he cannot refuse, Kurt must make his way back to the city of Wester while enlisting the aid of those players he has met along the way.

The game has changed...again. Having traded one threat outside his foundation instance for another, Gemini Fowler enters a new phase in his mission to combat darkness in Rubal. High-level demon servants to the Underlord Caym patrol the blight. The threat of the Governor of Knall looms larger than ever. Having left a trusted friend to advance his foundation, Gemini must venture alone into the unfamiliar Hinterlands of Seran to convince potential allies to help combat the darkness that has ruled since before anyone can remember.

With the unexpected release of the Daemonorg Colossus, Dex and his team face the biggest challenge yet as they tackle the seemingly impossible task of figuring out how to defeat a demon so huge it dwarfs even skyscrapers. With the army’s main operating base transformed into burning, smoking ruins, only one thing is clear: The Colossus must be stopped. Now. Before it destroys every Godmadrigan community on the planet.

What if the death of one game meant the death of all? A terrible entity has consumed the game known as Mage World Online. But now that all virtual online worlds are connected, this monstrous hive-mind turns its sights to other games. It will take every power and friend that Riley can recruit to defeat this new, insurmountable menace. Because if he can't stop it in Sigil Online, it will consume everything in its path.

When Kurt followed his brother into the world of Darklands Online, he expected a game like any other. What he found was a world more realistic than he could have ever imagined. The deeper he delved into the fantastic world of eternal night, the more Kurt suspected that something was amiss. It was only when he found that he was being manipulated by a rogue artificial intelligence that Kurt realized how far afield his journey had taken him.

Accepting that they may be stuck on Aetheria for good, Zander and company take to the roads, honing their skills, clearing dungeons, and adding familiars to their growing repertoire. They choose to embrace a life of adventure, living by the blade and enjoying all of the wonders that this strange new realm has to offer. But a new threat looms in the shadows, and a fated encounter awaits that may shake Zander to his core...

The day has come. The world's first truly immersive VR-MMO is indistinguishable from real life. One million copies are sent out and one million log in. But things go wrong. Players don't respawn when killed, and their violent deaths seem all too real. Because they are. No one can log out. The button is gone. In the real world those wearing the headsets are found dead. One by one, day by day, thousands die.

Kyvir and his friends are just a few days away from Belgonna’s Hold. Yet, as excited as they are to take in the splendor of a new city, surviving the journey is holding all of their attention. The team has survived leveling up in the beginner city of Iradellum, fighting man-eating hell cats, and wrong turns with the guards. All of this just to gain access to Kyvir’s Summoning Aether. A little grass isn’t going to beat them.

Clever or lucky? Does it really matter if you’re still alive? Having survived sure death, Horus and his friends barely have time to breathe before they rush off to face the impossible again. It’s for a good cause. Finding really nice guy’s long-missing son is something you kind of have to do right away. It’s just good manners. There’s less guilt, and your mom won’t nag you as much afterward.

Being murdered. Not so great. Waking up in your least-favorite game afterwards...While trying to figure what the whole “sword” thing is all about and which end of it he’s supposed to point at the cuddly, woodland creatures who keep giving him owies, Lucas stumbles across a player who looks rather familiar. Is he the man who murdered him? If he is, why is he in the game, and how can Lucas make him pay for what he did? Worse yet, Lucas’s pretty sure he left the stove and the air on before the whole getting murdered thing. Worst day ever.

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 real. He's a character in Realm of Crafted War, and the man behind the keyboard is a far cry from a savior.

In the bleak, not-too-distant future, most people who could fled to the virtual reality OVR World Online. Zachary "Zee" Jones will never be able to afford to become a player of the game. After committing a crime in order to save his mother's life, he was arrested and included in the Inmate Player Program. Even without perception filters to limit his pain, it was better than the alternative. He has the opportunity to earn more money in a five-year sentence then he could have in his entire life as a hospital janitor.

Jack was enjoying life as a broke snowboarding instructor in Lake Tahoe until an accident happened. Due to a hospital mix up, his life takes a novel turn, and he ends up inside New Lands Online...as its first ever digital human. He never signed up to be the main character in an ultra-realistic virtual-reality game where bodily functions are as real as can be and he has to learn new skills to survive.

Hall dachte, er wüsste alles über das Spiel, aber er findet jeden Tag heraus, wie anders die Dinge in dieser neuen, kaputten Version von Sky Realms Online sind. Es gibt neue Spielelemente, neue Feinde und sogar neue Orte. Nachdem er seinen ersten Boss-Kampf nur knapp überlebt hat, findet sich Hall an einem dieser neuen Orte wieder. Er ist zum Anführer eines verfallenen und isolierten Dorfes namens Skara Brae, tief inmitten von feindlichem Gebiet, geworden.

Anpu hat unsere unerschrockenen Helden damit beauftragt, den nächsten Teil des Verschlingers aus den Tiefen der Verbotenen Hügelgräber zu bergen, aber der Zugang zum Dungeon unterliegt strengen Regeln. Um überhaupt eine Audienz bei den Elfenpriestern zu bekommen, die ihnen ihre Hilfe versprochen haben, muss ausreichend Ansehen erworben werden. Jedoch hält eine große Spielergilde die meisten der verfügbaren Quests zurück, um Ansehen zu erlangen - das wird also eine verdammt harte Sache.

When Matt logged on to Zombie Wars Online, he expected another fun-filled night of zombie killing with his friends. Under the spell of the Felote, a gaming apparatus that forces the player into a controlled REM sleep, reality faded away, and a new life began. It was the perfect escape from the harshness of everyday life. But when a malicious hacker takes control of the game, a new nightmare begins, far worse than Matt and his friends could have ever imagined.

Alle Jahre wieder... weihnachtet es sehr! Für gelungene Festtage braucht es einen Braten, einen Baum, Geschenke und das eine oder andere Schnäpperken. Doch was, wenn die Frau Tochter auf einer veganen Weihnachtsente besteht, der Baum von Gunter schräg gesägt ist und dann auch noch die Wolle für die obligatorischen Topflappen ausgeht? Renate Bergmanns herrlich komische Weihnachtsgeschichten lassen kein Auge trocken bleiben. Die Online-Omi kocht, backt und wirbelt was das Zeug hält, und sogar ein Krippenspiel ist drin.

Since leaving the orphanage, Esil has spent the past year toiling in the data mines of Pangea while watching the wealthy elite traverse its myriad of game worlds. His luck changes forever when he discovers a legendary Developer's Chest. The Premium Worldpass inside grants him unlimited access to all of Pangea. Now, Esil isn't just stuck watching as others explore Pangea. He can finally level up. With his newfound fortune, he enters a tournament to compete against some of the most skilled adventurers Pangea has to offer.

Cassidy Delgado knows every lurid inch of Interstellar Online. But the brilliant software architect behind it all bristles at an update forcing her to respec as an unfamiliar class. And when a rogue AI bot goes on a rampage, she’d better master her new abilities or die trying.

Anstelle in einer virtuellen Welt irgendwelchen Monstern und Quests hinterherzujagen, wäre es ihrer Meinung nach sinnvoller, die Probleme in der realen Welt zu lösen. Logisch, dass das von Julia kommen musste, schließlich war sie Umweltaktivistin. Da kommt der Campingausflug, den Sebastian jährlich mit seinen Freunden plant, gerade recht. Perfekt, um sich abzulenken und mithilfe seiner Freunde doch noch in die virtuelle Welt eintauchen zu können. Doch worauf sich Sebastian seit Tagen gefreut hat, entwickelt sich durch den Genuss eines Kräuterabsuds für schamanistische Rituale zum Horrortrip.
