About this listen
To be left without a job, hope, and the love of your life at the age of thirty... Some might say this is equal to social suicide, while others might claim that there is no better time for an adventure.
A rundown writer, Anton Smirnov, accepts an invitation from an old friend and dares himself to enter the virtual expanses of turbulent seas and green pastures in search of profit. At first, Gardarika seems like a simple game... until it no longer is.
Things take a turn for the worse when Anton realizes that what at first seemed like a squabble between clans could result in something with real-world consequences, and that some enemies have oddly familiar faces.

Compiled by intrepid journalist Neve Pride, this archive of recordings spans the months after dragons emerged on earth, chronicling the communities that sprang up amid the destruction, the scientists, military leaders, and experts searching for a defense, and those steadfastly seeking the missing. Neve and her young daughter Bex travel among the wreckage speaking to those left behind and surviving, against all odds. Neve records everything for history, and in the hopes of locating a clue as to where the dragons came from and how one might stop them.

Story
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Story
Annie has always had high hopes for her future. But the reality of her life just isn’t measuring up. She loves her fiancé, Greg–doesn’t she? She’s going to get her degree and open her own business–won’t she? Then, a strange old woman shows up outside her house, and she seems to know a lot about Annie. An awful lot. Annie could tell the old woman to get lost. Yet there’s something about her Annie just can’t shake. And what she learns could change her life forever–but is it the life she envisioned?

Story
Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on Mars. Now, he's sure he'll be the first person to die there. After a dust storm nearly kills him and forces his crew to evacuate while thinking him dead, Mark finds himself stranded and completely alone with no way to even signal Earth that he’s alive - and even if he could get word out, his supplies would be gone long before a rescue could arrive. But Mark isn't ready to give up yet.

Story
Inheriting your uncle's supervillain business is more complicated than you might think. Particularly when you discover who's running the place. Charlie's life is going nowhere fast. A divorced substitute teacher living with his cat in a house his siblings want to sell, all he wants is to open a pub downtown, if only the bank will approve his loan. Then his long-lost uncle Jake dies and leaves his supervillain business (complete with island volcano lair) to Charlie. But becoming a supervillain isn't all giant laser death rays and lava pits.

And then there are the billions looking to the sky and wondering how a thing that was always just there is now... something absolutely impossible.

Jason had nothing. No hope, no joy, no purpose. An average person, in and out. One day, the world ended, or at least the world as he knew it previously. Blue screens appeared in front of everyone all of a sudden, heralding the arrival of the System on Earth. It gave everyone a chance to become something more. It also brought monsters and dungeons that threatened to destroy the remnants of society. Yet again, Jason had nothing. Due to unfortunate circumstances, he became a dismantler; scavenging corpses for cheap change. Dismantlers were no adventurers, and certainly not heroes that people ...

Story
Twenty years ago, hordes of monstrous dragons descended upon the Earth and decimated the human race. Cities burned, towns were levelled and humanity was almost obliterated. But from the carnage of those dark days arose a new type of human being. The survivors had been altered, mutated by the magic that the dragons had brought back to the world. These Changed humans now lived far longer than the old race. Infections and diseases were a thing of the past. People barely aged once they reached adulthood. They were stronger than before, more agile and better able to defend themselves against the...

My name is James Thorne, and I wasn't supposed to matter. Before the invasion, I was just a guy in a dead-end job, keeping my head down and my past buried. The Gehenna want our annihilation. Thankfully, they angered the Aetherion who may help humanity not only fight back, but turn the tide. When I’m offered the chance to be Cleansed, to become something more than I was, I take it. And it turns out I’m special. No, I’m not the Chosen One. And yes, there are others like me, but as a Psyker, I can do things most can't. Things that make me very dangerous.
