Fantasy Online

He's found her...The Light Priestess stands in a room atop a fortress. Guards surround the installation. Gemini has authored a scheme, but even if he manages to snag her from the grasp of the governor's men, he will have to guide his party into one of the most dangerous regions on the continent to keep from being followed. A place drained of life by demonic blight with black shards of glassy sand and the home of a long-dead elven city.

A freak accident leaves childhood friends Aiden and Scarlet dead and stranded in Hazard Online, a VR MMORPG. They're pushed to the brink of their sanity as they awaken with the knowledge of their death and are thrust into an experimental expansion, which only further threatens to tear them apart.

Founding a headquarters is a good start, but the Black Hats aren’t the only empire builders in the land. As crusaders mobilize an army, assassins struggle for independence, and dissidents make waves in Stronghold, Haven’s tentative peace is threatened. The gears of war are churning, and Talon refuses to be crushed in the teeth. Enlisting the help of an old friend, Talon hatches an ingenious scheme to wrangle the embattled citizens of Haven to his cause. Except there’s another plot shaping the virtual world, one meticulously devised by a ghost in the machine.

For Riley and his friends, Sigil Online has never been more real. With the latest expansion, pain has been enabled and will now affect all players in-game. Aptly named "Hellions", the expansion introduces monsters, but not the kind that paragons have been fighting for the past several years. This time, players can be the monsters they once sought to destroy. But in a game where playing means having the money to survive in the real world, what will Riley do when death in the game doesn't just mean an end to his character, but an end to his life?

Tad Lonnerman is having a crappy day stuck in crappy traffic late to a crappy meeting. On the bright side, his game development career is the only non-crappy thing he has going for him, so life isn't all bad. At least until he dies. Now Tad finds himself uploaded to a beta test of Haven, an unannounced hyper-immersive MMO where the dead have a second chance at life. It's not virtual reality, it's digital reality. A true afterlife online. Except Haven isn't exactly blissful paradise.

Charlie Mason (a.k.a. Mace) is a former detective of major crimes who is forced to retire. His former captain offers him a job as an in-game constable for the hottest virtual reality game around, Immersion Online. This down-and-out detective knows nothing of character creation, leveling up, or magical artifacts. He is a noob. He spawns in the Wilderbrook - a group of human and humanoid villages hundreds of miles from the nearest city - to learn the ins and outs of the game before he assumes his role as a constable in Grandview, one of the largest cities in The Great Realm.

Mace is back in the third deadly installment of Immersion online, and he is hot on the trail of a serial killer who is stalking his victims in the city of Grandview. Soon, identical murders take place in his hometown. Is there a copycat killer, or are the killers one in the same? Mace and his counterpart in the real world, Detective Donna Driver, search both on and offline for clues that will lead them to the serial killer. Will they be on time to stop him before he strikes again? Will Mace pay the ultimate price?

Warren’s quest to become a World Boss is finally over, and destruction is left in its wake. The Death Game has finally come. Uncountable players are trapped in Fate and Freedom Online, and those who die are lost in the sensory deprivation hell of the death void. It’s up to Warren and his allies, both player and monster alike, to find a way out of the game as soon as possible. That’s easier said than done, though, as many players seem against Warren helping them at all.

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?

When James' greatest accomplishment leads to the worst day of his life, he turns to the one thing that never lets him down: Glorian Online, the world's greatest completely immersive MMORPG. But a chance encounter with an old acquaintance takes things from bad to worse, and even his beloved character, Crios Truelight, the Hero of Carrandor, must struggle to survive as his world crumbles around him.

Warren is well on his way to becoming a World Boss and escaping the world of Fate and Freedom Online. He’s got a gnoll clan to lead and a dungeon to call home. It’s everything a budding young Boss monster could ever want.

The High Priestess swoops overhead, wreaking havoc on the elven forest below. A battalion of enemy forces stand ready to engage Gemini Fowler and the elves. The truce between the gods has been broken, and retribution must be visited on the offenders. The stakes have been raised, but Gemini has a plan.

Eric McCaffrey has come face-to-face with the developers of Battlegrounds Online. They have shown up at his doorstep. He's used to seeing those faces in the game, not inside his apartment. He knew the game had been physically affecting him. Turns out he was right, and Hastech wants to run some tests. Battlegrounds Online was designed as a training simulator for the military. They want to know why Eric is being affected.

In a land devastated by plague, invaders, and lawless brigands, magic has all but disappeared, and the masses live in misery and depravity. But a strange young maiden appears with a powerful gift and a promise to restore the rightful king to the throne of Orloins and a magical order to the world. But her gift may come at high risk - to herself and her people.

Just when Carter and I finally get back together, he gets kidnapped by demons. Just my luck. Oh yeah, did I mention they’re holding him for ransom - and I’m the ransom? Yep, the head honcho demon is my father, Paimon, and Daddy Dearest will stop at nothing to get his hands on me and my powers. If I surrender to his demands and join the demon side, I give Paimon everything he needs to carry out his evil master plan for demons to rule the human world. If I refuse, I sentence the man I am falling for to torture and death.

Vampires and werewolves do not mix, at all. But Will and I can’t stay away from each other. How could I have fallen for a man I’ll never get to be with? To make matters worse, supernaturals and humans are vanishing...and the number of disappearances are growing. How did I get dragged into that, you might be wondering? My best friend was taken, and even her scent vanished from the world. The only question now is...will I find her...before she turns up dead?

Eric McCaffrey has been playing Zag in the VR-MMOFPS Battlegrounds Online for a while now. The more he plays, the more entrenched into the game he gets. It hardly even feels like a game anymore. Zag, now one of the commandos for the Knights of the Tactical Operations Group, is tasked with freeing Punta del Muerta from the terrorist group Wyvern. Along with the rest of the Knights, Zag will dive deep into the jungles, war-torn cities, and concrete bunkers, but will he be able to complete all the missions in time?

The 33-year old game designer Dex Walsh spends an entire year devoured by sorrow after the death of his wife. As a last-ditch effort to regain his joy, he sells everything and joins Overtaken Online. Expecting to spawn in a noob-friendly area with guidance from his personal assistant, he instead finds himself naked and alone in a dark prison cell rapidly filling with gas.

Zane's quest to win 10 million dollars and save his brother in MythRune Online is far from over. Following a clash with a fellow God Mode hacker, he and his companions find themselves on the road to the worldwide Tournament of Champions. Their destination is Mythgard, the in-game location of the tournament, a massive city surrounded by thousands of players with their sights set on the same goal.

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.
