I was the most powerful healer in my world — the best, having devoted my entire life to mastering the art of healing. And yet, for whatever reason, my brother feared that I sought to claim his throne, and he marshaled his forces against me.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter, all the same I’d been planning on trying out a certain ritual and now…
I’m in another world altogether!? And this body I’m inhabiting, well, it’s not mine, but some young guy’s! And what’s it mean that in this world the gift of the healer is downright pathetic?
Apparently, they simply don’t know how to handle power.
Strength and talent made you look for your own way in life, one that often led you off the beaten path. You hoped to outsmart everyone and go where others had disappeared without a trace. But you forgot that your weakness had led you to trouble once already. You forgot that plans had been disrupted before. And now you are trapped. And this time, you are not alone. You have doomed all those who trusted you. But the people who put the chain on you forgot that everyone would eventually pay for their mistakes. The people who put the chain on you do not know that there are things that you do not forgive. You can deceive others, you already know this, but can you deceive yourself? Can you break the chain, which does not yield even to the power of the mighty Heavens? Remember: there are no hopeless situations so long as you are ready to pay the price. The others are ready to pay it. Are you?
He was born into a world where wars were long forgotten, where people lived justly, watched over by the Gods, and life went on as it should, until an enemy from beyond came. The one they called the God of Death.
A world that had forgotten what violence was didn’t know how to defend itself. City after city fell. Earth became a lifeless wasteland as the undead army swelled and crushed the humans like ants underneath its boot.
It all ended at the last stronghold. Forgoing all hope for salvation, a handful of desperate humans realized that the only thing left was revenge.
Born into a family of adepts, he was orphaned by the war. Being one of the best in the art of healing and blessed by the Gods, he failed to complete his training and became a soldier instead, working his way up from a private to a commander.
Had he known that he’d command the last battalion of his world, he would’ve thought twice about his chosen path.
As the instrument of vengeance, he was wielded against the undead army.
He killed the Undead King and realized that there was much more at play here than he had originally thought. But before he could get to the bottom of it, he perished.
Only that wasn’t the end.
He woke up in another world, in another body, and was given a chance to start again.
Elor, the last defender of his world, would come after the God of Death for his revenge.
Casting necromancy without ever learning how isn't supposed to be possible. A starving orphan girl named Vita is somehow managing it anyway, and she's not sure if this is going to be the solution to her life's problems or a horrifying, spiraling mess into problems she can't even conceive.
Experience the adventure of this fantasy novel by Natalie "Thundamoo" Maher, uncovering the secrets of a massive world of floating islands and the dangerous entity known as the Mistwatcher that rests beneath them. Vigor Mortis pairs adorable charm with deadly seriousness, an incongruous mix that pushes triumphantly forward despite the horror bearing down on all sides.
Ruwen wants nothing more than to relax in the Third Secret and recover from the terrible damage to his core. Escaping the ambush in the Infernal Realm had come at a steep cost—one that means no Spirit use until he heals.
Unfortunately, rest is one more thing that needs to wait, because the Bamboo Viper Master’s trial started days ago, and not participating results in the purging of his Step knowledge. Not something he wants to risk.
Joining the trial holds extra danger for Ruwen because fighting the Infernal God forced him to use forbidden Shadow Clan knowledge, breaking an oath, and the Founders will certainly punish him. But he’s spent the last eighteen months intensely training for the worst, so the peril doesn’t frighten him.
What does make Ruwen pause is the chaos back home, because attending the Master’s trial will delay his return. But the Steps hold no more secrets from him, and finishing the testing quickly will be trivial. His homecoming will barely notice the delay.
Entering the Master’s trial, Ruwen learns there are seven secrets, not six, and his assumptions quickly fall apart. The Founders deliver additional troubles, as the consequences of his broken oath spread further than he thought possible.
Ruwen's seemingly straightforward trial may prove a trap, and instead of leaving a Master of the Bamboo Viper Step Clan, he may fail to unravel the mystery of the seventh step and spend eternity in the shadow’s darkness. Even if he survives it, the terrible judgment of the Founders awaits, and amid all this uncertainty an ancient relic delivers a misfortunate prophecy that if left unheeded, declares death will surely find him.
The portals are open and the orcs have come to the World of Sanctuary and Serenity.
Theo has rallied a mighty horde at his back. As the orc Wargod said to him, the Patriarch of the Hearthwood Clan can't save Deania, but the Chief of the Blackgorge Tribe can. With an army at his back, Theo plans to do just that.
The nations surrounding Deania have decided to attack. But while they're away, who's going to be protecting their homes?
Theo plans to lead the orcs who would have invaded Deania into the lands of their enemies instead. In doing so, he hopes to drive this enemy army away before Countess Frostweaver finishes whatever she's planning back in the capital.

...
