Nun war es also so weit. Jetzt stand ich hier, am vereinbarten Treffpunkt und wartete. Ich hasse warten, aber ich bin ja auch viel zu früh hier. Wie mochte sie wohl aussehen, ich hatte überhaupt keine Vorstellung. Ich wusste nur ihren Namen: Karin. Aber trotzdem wusste ich schon so viel über sie. Sie teilte meine Vorliebe für erotische Geschichten und genauso hatten wir uns kennengelernt: In einer Newsgroup im Internet.

Soul-crushing medical debt. Favors to the Russian mafia. Now, asteroid. For Vlad, this is life in a nutshell. But, in a wild twist of fate, he has found a way out.

Von Berlin nach Spreeweide: Eingeladen von Stefan und Ariane besucht Renate Bergmann das verschlafene Örtchen in der brandenburgischen Provinz. Aber wo Renate ist, ist selten Ruhe! Kaum angekommen, gerät sie mit Bürgermeister Brummer aneinander. Überteuerte Friedhofsgebühren, schmuddelige Parkbänke, beschmierte Busfahrpläne: Das würde mit einer Renate Bergmann in Amt und Würden gleich ganz anders aussehen! 82 Jahre hin oder her, der Adenauer, die Amis und die Online-Omi powern in diesem Alter erst richtig los.

There's never enough time to really enjoy life, not when you're Russian Weapons Engineer Vlad Nardoir. Vlad has done a number of things in his short time in Eldgard. He's helped capture an Imperial fortress, defeated a corrupted demigod, and created a Crafter's guild where all are welcome. But Vlad's greatest challenge is yet to come.

Almost as exciting as the chance to have archeologist Brian Harris' dig sites modeled in an interactive virtual reality is the chance to alpha-test the newest Terramyr Online game for the company providing the tech. The arrangement is simple, test the game, play the main storyline, and report any glitches. In return, the game's main designer will render fully virtual models of the dig sites that will not only ensure Brian's successful graduation but set him up for life as he uncovers the secrets hidden within a trio of ancient Chilean volcanoes.

Worried for his sanity after poor in-game choices, Grant Legate’s sister, Liz, blocks access to Continue Online. With no way around the restriction, he ventures into a new world—a VRMMO game based in space—called Advance Online. There he must help his companion AI, Hal Pal, overcome an identity crisis, race to the center of the universe to bring back his true love, and figure out where he stands on the scariest implication of all; AIs are bringing the dead to life.

The game is no longer about adventures in a new world or exploring fantasy lands. Grant’s digital wife faces deletion, along with everyone else he cares for.

A sacrifice.

No longer playing as a Local from the world of Continue Online, Grant Legate’s adventure can begin. The Voices offer him a unique title along with a test and reward.
