Zwölf Spieler begeben sich auf eine Reise durch die Online-Welt von Galactogon, angelockt durch den enormen Gewinn, den die Spieleigentümer versprechen. Die Frage ist: Wer wird lange genug leben, um seine Geschichte erzählen zu können? Wer von den zwölf Spielern ist ein potenzieller Held - und wer wird zum Verräter? Wer von ihnen wird die Schwachen verteidigen und wer wird zum ultimativen Herrscher des Bösen? Ritter oder Feigling? Jeder und jede der Zwölf wird sich entscheiden müssen. Sie alle werden ein Pokerface aufsetzen.

Die Abenteuer des Schamanen setzen sich fort. Daniel Mahan, der legendäre Schamane aus der Spielewelt von Barliona, hat seine Strafe in der virtuellen Realität verbüßt. Elf Monate voller virtueller Abenteuer und Schlachten statt acht Jahren in einem sehr realen Gefängnis, das ist kein schlechter Tausch. Aber so schnell lässt Barliona den Schamanen nicht wieder los. Die Grenzen zwischen der realen und der Spielewelt verschwimmen mehr und mehr. Und schon bald stellt sich heraus: Der Kapsel zu entkommen ist nicht so einfach, wie man denken sollte.

Was ist ein Klan in einem Computerspiel ohne eigene Burg? Die Antwort liegt auf der Hand: gar nichts. Deshalb ist es eines der Hauptziele jedes Klananführers in der Welt eines Spiels, eine solche Basis für alle Aktivitäten in die Finger zu bekommen. In genau dieser Position befindet sich auch Hochschamane Mahan, Anführer des Klans der "Legenden von Barliona". Deshalb nimmt er den Auftrag des Imperators von Malabar und des Dunklen Lords von Kartoss an, die Armee der Phantome zu besiegen, die Altameda bevölkern, die Phantomburg.

Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, dass Daniel Mahan, allen bekannt als Schamane Mahan, fest davon überzeugt war, in der Spielewelt von Barliona den sechsten und letzten Schritt hinter sich gebracht zu haben. Doch jetzt funkt ihm das Leben dazwischen. Das Unternehmen entschließt sich dazu, den Gebieter des Schattens mitsamt seiner Anhängerschar von den Toten auferstehen zu lassen. Der CEO des Unternehmens persönlich ist es, der das Spiel per Knopfdruck zurücksetzt.

Mahan ist bereit für neue Abenteuer - und das ausgerechnet, als die Spielewelt von Barliona sich gerade darauf einstellt, in denselben alten Trott zu verfallen. Die Aufregung der Ereignisse im Dunklen Wald hat sich endlich gelegt, Altameda hat seinen neuen Eigentümer mit offenen Armen aufgenommen, und Geranika brütet neue Pläne für eine globale Vernichtung aus. Ob Mahan sich wohl mit seinem vorhersehbaren alten Leben zufriedengeben würde? Doch ganz sicher nicht! Neue Szenarien, neue Monster, neue Dungeons - und ein neuer Status.

Hi, my name's Max and I'm one of the Selected. What's the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny? Well, that's all true, but there is one but . . . Actually, if I'm honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is: "Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical."

His initiation complete, Leg knew he had to prove himself worthy of the gift his totem had given him. The boy was facing a long and difficult journey to dangerous lands. Meanwhile, those with eyes set on ruling the Northern Empire were also making their move. But what was most important to Leg? His personal advancement or the integrity of the empire? Of course, it was possible the two priorities were inseparable, especially since a true wizard had been introduced to the world. 

The World of the Changed, still going strong! A sister kidnapped, a powerful enemy right around the corner, and Earth under the thumb of the monsters. What else is it going to take to become a true hero and save humanity? The only problem is that Mark Derwin has bigger problems, focused as he is on finding Squirrel, his sister. And he has to make sure she's still the same person she always was rather than a chunk of noa. He's prepared to do anything, go to any lengths to make that happen, including working with the game.

Earth was never the same after World of the Changed. Humanity was reduced to two camps: monsters thirsting to kill, and players doing everything they could to survive. The squabbles people had spent their time on before? Gone. If you wanted to live to see another sunrise, you had to work with everyone you could, from other players to game functions.

A check for a billion credits. The prize seemed lost forever, and here it glittered again with all its colors, drawing the couple like a magnet. The pirates, the Uldans, the Zatrathi - none of it mattered now. The final goal was so close. All they had to do was reach out and grasp it. Alas, fortune refuses to land in Surgeon's hand just like that, without a fight. Fortune only comes to those who can prove themselves. Will Alexis and Eunice find their inner strength and go to the end - or will the obstacles in their way force them to give up their search?

Not long ago, Daniel Mahan, known to everyone as Shaman Mahan, thought that he had taken his sixth and final step in the Barliona gameworld. Yet life has other ideas. The Corporation decides to resurrect the Lord of Shadow and his entire host. The Corporation's CEO personally pushes the reset button. Geranika and his Dragon of Shadow spring back to life as, meanwhile, the Corporation makes an offer the Shaman can't refuse. 

The Game is in turmoil. All the players' strength and resources are invested in preparing for Restart: only 20 percent of the players will make it to the next era. Murders are becoming commonplace; bribes and nepotism are at their height. Betrayal is becoming an inherent part of everyday interactions. The Game has spread its perfidious influence to the farthest corners of the Universe, affecting every sentient being. Will the Dark Judge reach the right verdict? Will he follow the ideals of his class to the end or will he reject them, becoming an ordinary player?

The virtual world of Barliona is a place of rest and entertainment - but not for everyone. It has become a survival arena for Daniel Mahan after he was sentenced to eight years in its virtual jail. Mahan has been through it all: the back-breaking work in the mines, betrayal by other prisoners, and finally, the retrial which has released him into Barliona's common world. What more could one want? Mahan could have kept a low profile and enjoyed relative freedom while serving the rest of his time.

A product of the latest technologies, Barliona is a virtual world brimming with fun and entertainment. The government has become the guarantor for the in-game currency, allowing its free circulation. As a result the population floods Barliona in pursuit of easy money. It doesn't take long for the game developers to discover a source of free labor: real-world prison convicts. While their bodies are locked in special auto-maintenance virtual capsules, the prisoners' minds are released into Barliona's virtual mines.

Daniel Mahan, the legendary Shaman of the Barliona game world, has served his sentence in virtual reality. Eleven months of adventures and battles in exchange for eight years in prison isn't a bad trade-off. And yet Barliona refuses to relinquish its grip on the Shaman so easily, erasing the boundary between his two realities. It turns out that it's not so simple to leave the capsule - the Way must be completed....

What can a game clan accomplish without a castle? The answer is obvious: nothing. Therefore, the main objective of any leader in a game world is to acquire a base of operations. Finding himself in exactly this position, High Shaman Mahan, leader of the Legends of Barliona, accepts an offer from the Emperor and the Dark Lord to vanquish the army of Phantoms that has inhabited Altameda, the phantom castle.

To make a clan does not necessarily mean to make it successful. First you have to walk the hard path from the foundations of your castle to victory in interclan conflicts. Only then will you be recognized. Only then can you be listed among the location's top clans. Your adversaries, however, will not be sitting around twiddling their thumbs. No dominant clan needs yet another wannabe competitor. Or its two founders. Which is why Kvalen and Eradani are being hunted down. Bugles sound as players sharpen swords and draw arrows. Bring on the show!

Maximilian Valevsky quite unexpectedly finds himself with spare time on his hands-time he can even devote to studying.

Padishah Bayazid the Third wants to personally meet with Maximilian and our hero will have to do unprecedented things just to survive. But could a former doomed soldier do it any other way?

Sul’vars Altar wurde zerstört, und mit ihm auch Leg Ondos letzte Hoffnung, in dieser Welt zum vollwertigen Magier zu werden. Liara Slick ist spurlos verschwunden. Der Imperator legt dem wieder erstarkten Clan Steine in den Weg, wo er kann. Ein mysteriöser Zauberer, der in Baschorgs Dienst steht, hetzt furchterregende Dämonen ins Land des Bärenclans. Außerdem gilt es immer noch, zu studieren und sich auf die Abschlussprüfung vorzubereiten.

A tournament to name the best mage in the empire. What could go wrong when everything is carefully planned down to the last detail, and only the best of the best are invited to participate? The answer is obvious: everything! Once again, Maximilian Valevsky will have to save everyone to preserve the integrity of the empire. This time, however, forces far more powerful than anything he has encountered before have taken an interest in his affairs.
