The Second World is a mire of intrigue; the game’s creators have left several backdoors permitting them to terminate anyone at will, and an unlikely sequence of events has brought someone unsuspecting into their field of attention.

One player has managed to upset the game world’s balance, and now he’s hunted by everyone. Every clan wants to recruit him for his achievements, while other powers want him for their own, more sinister purposes. Now Ros must contend against an unseen enemy backed by the world’s most powerful corporation, while relying on only himself and his few trusted allies. The stakes have never been higher…

Playing, or rather living as his character Krian, it's not just about survival for Roman.

Arthur Stone

Merkwürdige Dinge geschehen in der Zweiten Welt, einem multinationalen Online-Rollenspiel gigantischer Ausmaße. Auf einmal sind Neutralitätsabkommen und sogar Freundschaften vergessen. Ehemalige Verbündete schleichen wie Wölfe umeinander herum, und bald klirren ihre Schwerter aufeinander, schwirren Pfeile durch die Luft, und magischer Donner grollt über dem Land. Eine weltvergessene, völlig wertlose Mine wird zum Schauplatz erbitterter Kämpfe. Ihre niedergebrannten Ruinen wechseln mehrmals täglich den Besitzer. Jede Straße der Provinz wird kontrolliert. Niemand darf die Städte betreten oder verlassen, ohne seine Identität überprüfen zu lassen. Die Schwachen leiden unter der anhaltenden Gewalt durch Invasoren aus dem Osten, und die Starken...Die Starken setzen alles daran, den Schuldigen zu finden: den seltsamsten Noob, den die virtuelle Welt je gesehen hat.

Once a seasoned gamer, Max has cheated fate swapping his dying body for an immortal avatar in the world of sword and sorcery MMORPGs. He joins the ranks of a new race of people: perma players, forever stuck in the virtual castles and cities of AlterWorld. Now they have to obey the ever-changing rules of their new home while learning to live together in peace, love and justice.

But freedom and immortality are a poisoned chalice. Some of Max's new friends crave power, others become traitors and spies. Soon the first screams of pain fill the virtual world as its freshly-minted slavedrivers and torturers indulge in the absence of law and order. Their crimes provide a constant flow of gold back to their real-world controllers: the power-happy governments plotting to take over AlterWorld's magic technologies and limitless resources.

What would you do? Would you step aside and watch the magical world turn into the Earth's dark twin? Or are you strong enough to step in the virtual sharks' way?

Dan Sugralinov

At thirty years old, Phil is an unemployed gamer who’s struggling to make ends meet. His only source of income is freelance writing (whenever he feels inspired enough to add another article to his less-than-popular blog). His wife has just walked out on him, leaving him without money, purpose, or food in the fridge.

On the day his wife dumps him, Phil receives a mysterious piece of wetware. A game interface seems to have been implanted in his brain which allows him to see the world through the eyes of an RPG player.

Now that Phil discovers his real-life stats, he can see they’re far below average. With 4 pt. Agility, 6 pt. Strength and 3 pt. Stamina, his most advanced life skill is playing one of the most epic RPG games of all times.

Luckily, real-life stats can be leveled up just like virtual ones. But will it help Phil get his wife back? Can he stop being such a couch potato? Would the new game help him become fitter? Or more successful? Can his gaming skills finally come in handy in real life?

Last but not least, can he find out who could have uploaded the mysterious game to his brain? And how is he supposed to deal with this unknown but apparently omnipotent force?
