Carl was a regular construction foreman. Not the worst, not the best, and definitely not the thinnest. Even so, he didn't deserve that heart attack! He really didn't deserve being reborn into a magic-filled, dog-eat-dog world as a dragon. To be fair, it’s nice to be at the top of the food chain. Now Carl just needs to learn how magic works, which monsters are safe to eat, and why his hoard is so important to him. Dealing with everything changing is hard enough, but he has enemy dragons incoming, hostile environments, and foes constantly trying to get bragging rights by taking down a dragon.

Through clever usage of construction techniques as well as ham-fisted applications of force, Carl survived being reborn as a shadow dragon inside the Scoured Mountain. The future is looking bright for him and his band of trash-tier minions, and they’ll have ample time to decide exactly which kind of society they want to build in this violence-filled world. There’s just one tiny problem. Only one dragon gets to be in charge, and every single other dragon from his clutch survived as well.

Carl and his armies of non-humans barely managed to fend off the human army attacking the Scoured Mountain last time. That’s how it’s supposed to go, according to the stories. It’s supposed to be Man-o-a-dragon-o. Only…the Nefren Empire never got that memo. Now the bloody two-legged smooth skins are back, with reinforcements.

Carl and his bottom-scraper minions were a success story from any perspective. Against all odds, they managed to defeat all of Carl's dragon siblings and kill the filthy Soul Carver. Now, all that is left for him to do is take up the comfy place as the rightful ruler of the Scoured Mountain. With that out of the way, Selys the dragon matriarch can retire and go do whatever she feels like. Small issue: "Whatever Selys feels like" turns out to be world domination.

Bowdoin and his crew have grown in both strength and reach. They have taken on all comers, gangs, corpo, and otherwise, and expanded their domain to include the entirety of their arcology. But they have not avoided entrapment. Ostensibly, Bowdoin is doing work for hire for the hacker corporation Inside Eye. The reality of it is bleaker than this. The chains may be pretty and invisible to the naked eye, but they are still there.

Run. Hide. Live the good life online. Early retirement looked so easy on paper. Steal eight million euros from a gangster. Hide inside an online game and enjoy the finer things in life as a bard until the danger had passed. Except Daniel messed up. Now, the gangsters are in the game looking for him and he's stuck with an imbalanced character build in a dead-end starter village. Can Daniel find his own place and a life worth living inside the World of Chains?

Life on the Waves isn't easy. Especially if you're a pickpocket with no education, no prospects, and no future. For Chase and his crew of low-lives, there is one real option. If they want a path out of poverty, they will have to unlock access to the magical card system that will change their lives for the better. Of course, nothing's free in life. And nobody higher up the chain is going to give them a hand up. But what they might lack in education, riches, and, let's face it, hygiene, they have in determination.

Go to the big city. Hang out with the bigwigs. Have fun. That was the plan, right? Right! Except, our hero was supposed to be the guest of honor and the mob was not supposed to be invited. Daniel was running out of places to lay low, however. Something needed to be done, or he’d be caught in the ever-tightening net of his pursuers.

Out of credits, with trash-tier mods and no hope, Bowdoin Katamari resides at the bottom of the pile in the city of Artem. A place where megacorporations, merc guilds, and inner-city pricks live like royalty while the rest suffer. In spite of his poor prospects, this self-taught hacker does have a few things left. A seething hatred for the upper castes, a mind bursting with plots, and a like-minded crew determined to get ahead.

So much darkness. At least it made hiding easier. Daniel and his group of close friends barely made it away from the mob and their underhanded allies among the Cabal. Now, they were hunted prey, forced to ditch their beloved floating castle in order to find a place to hide. But where could you possibly hide when the Dawnlight Forest would soon be teeming with people looking for you? That’s right. Underground. Quite literally.

Dealing with change is hard enough, but he has enemy dragons incoming, hostile environments, and foes constantly trying to get bragging rights by taking down a dragon.

Carl and his monstrous allies find themselves pressed against the wall — facing certain death if they defend the Scoured Mountain fortress. The human Empire, with its endless ranks and relentless pursuit, is closing in. It's not just a battle; it's survival, and the only option is to make a break for it. But Carl isn’t worried about escaping: he’s already plotting out his counterattack. The key is finding a way to earn a new Blessing, a power-up which could tilt the scales back in their favor and grant them a fighting chance to push humanity back.

Daniel's Guide to Early Retirement: 1. Intercept illegal money transfer from mafia boss. 2. Hide out in super-exclusive Full Immersion Virtual Reality game until the heat is off. 3. Roll a bard. Max out charisma. Live it up. 4. Profit. With all the pesky planning out of the way, Daniel set out to realize his ultimate dream: gaining enough money to buy a tropical island and spend his days playing the violin and RPGs. What could possibly go wrong?

Selys, the Burning End, Overlord of the Scoured Mountain, is dead. Onyx and his faithful minions are safely seated in her old fortress, already working to change the mountain for the better. Sadly, not everyone is happy with the ridiculous "modern" changes they are attempting to implement.

Ohne Credits, mit minderwertigen Mods und ohne Hoffnung sitzt Bowdoin Katamari in der Stadt Artem ganz unten. Ein Ort, an dem Megakonzerne, Söldnergilden und innerstädtische Arschlöcher wie Könige leben, während der Rest leidet. Trotz seiner schlechten Aussichten hat der autodidaktische Hacker noch ein paar Dinge auf Lager. Einen brodelnden Hass auf die oberen Kasten, einen Verstand, der vor Plänen nur so strotzt, und eine gleichgesinnte Crew, die unbedingt weiterkommen will.

Von hinten anfangen? Betrüge das System!Ohne Credits, mit minderwertigen Mods und ohne Hoffnung sitzt Bowdoin Katamari in der Stadt Artem ganz unten.

Carl war ein normaler Vorarbeiter auf dem Bau. Nicht der schlechteste, nicht der beste und definitiv nicht der dünnste. Trotzdem hatte er diesen Herzinfarkt nicht verdient! Er hatte es wirklich nicht verdient, als Drache in einer Welt voller Magie wiedergeboren zu werden, in der jeder gegen jeden kämpfte.

Daniel's Anleitung zum vorzeitigen Ruhestand. Fange einen illegalen Geldtransfer vom Mafiaboss ab. Verstecke dich im super exklusiven Full Immersion Virtual Reality Spiel, bis die Jagd nachläßt. Würfle einen Barden. Maximiere Charisma. Lotterleben. Profitieren. Nachdem die ganze lästige Planung erledigt war, machte sich Daniel daran, seinen ultimativen Traum zu verwirklichen: Genug Geld zu verdienen, um eine tropische Insel zu kaufen und seine Tage mit Geige spielen und RPGs zu verbringen. Was könnte da schon schiefgehen?

Geh in die große Stadt. Hänge mit den hohen Tieren ab. Spaß haben. Das war doch der Plan, oder? Richtig! Nur sollte unser Held der Ehrengast sein und die Mafia sollte nicht eingeladen werden... Daniel gingen jedoch die Orte aus, an denen er sich verstecken konnte. Er musste etwas unternehmen, sonst würde er sich in dem immer enger werdenden Netz seiner Verfolger verfangen.

Der Drache ist tot. Die Schlacht ist gewonnen. Der Krieg hat erst begonnen. Selys, das brennende Ende, Herrscher über den Verbrannten Berg, ist tot. Onyx und seine treuen Gefolgsleute sitzen sicher in ihrer alten Festung und arbeiten bereits daran, den Berg zum Besseren zu verändern. Leider sind nicht alle mit den lächerlichen "modernen" Veränderungen zufrieden, die sie umzusetzen versuchen.
