The world of Waldyra has been thrown into a turmoil of unprecedented scale and gravity. There are countless threats coming from every direction. The gods are at war. Continents are about to clash. Mighty ancient deities awaken-far more powerful than any of the newfangled gods. Old and new clans fight one another furiously for a place in the sun, and hideous monsters are falling from the skies, destroying every living thing in their way.

In this world, everyone starts with no memory and no recollection of their past life. In this world, you have nothing - even your limbs are rented, and you'll have to pay up every day. In this world, you must complete tasks assigned to you by the System or be fined and stripped of everything, including your arms and legs. In this world, you're under unrelenting supervision. But in dark corners hidden from the System's watchful eye, violence, brutality, and lawlessness abound.

Elb remains faithful to his calling in Zombieland. He may succeed where hitherto nobody has succeeded, and complete the Blue Light mission. On the way, Elb contemplates the next location, Crontown, legendary city of true heroes. In the meantime, appearing unexpectedly on the horizon are some folks who sometime quit Elb's squad.

A multitude of secret paths and trails exist in the world of Waldyra. Some of them lead to places that can only be described as "non-canonical." Those are always extremely well-concealed and almost impossible to find. Should anyone succeed in setting their foot on such a path, they'd be warned about doing it at their own peril.

Hunter continues his journey through his icy alien world. Having adapted to the merciless conditions beyond the Bunker, he has begun to expand his "territory" and explore new points on the map around the enormous Pillar.

The journey to the City of the Dead continues. The maritime part of the voyage has been completed successfully. New roads, shrouded in darkness and mystery, are calling our heroes now. And it takes a very special person to survive them.

Angora. The legendary mystical City of the Dead whose location remains a mystery to everyone. Ancient legend has it that only the brightest souls find their final resting place in Angora-the ones that are considered worthy of an eternal afterlife. That is what Rosgard and his friends intend to find out. They are about to embark on another perilous journey. This time, their destination is Angora-the Great City of the Dead, once ruled by the death god Anrull before his fall from his lofty throne. And Anrull would never accept being thwarted that way.

A plan. A sensible, efficient, and most definitely unrushed plan. Every dwarf has one. Dwarves in general are like rhinos—slow to get going, but unstoppable once they do. The dwarf named Crow is no exception. He has a plan, too: one that is properly thorough, unhurried, and carefully laid out. This is the plan he has been following since the day he arrived at the Gray Peak outpost.

At the foot of the foreboding Gray Peak lies a desolate valley. These are the backwoods of the world of Waldyra—they offer nothing valuable to players, who rarely visit as a result. Yet this is the very place where the calm and good-natured dwarf named Crow is headed. Straight after leaving the Creche, he hopes to make a living there. This hero does not crave epic battles with monsters. Quite the contrary. He wants to be a merchant and develop his blacksmithing skills, while staying far away from fighting, long voyages, and clan squabbles.

How tough do you need to be to withstand life's storms? What would you do, if everything that you've worked so long and hard to achieve comes crumbling down within an hour? Presumably, when this happens in life, it takes great effort to overcome despair—even if this life is virtual. For the dwarf named Crow, virtual life is no less important than reality. This is because the game holds great meaning, currently known only to the hero of the story, while the listener can only make guesses.

Hunter was forced to abandon life as he knew it when he first arrived on the ice world of the Pillar. But, unlike so many others, he didn't let the merciless conditions of his new home break him. Since his very first day in this joyless, freezing hellscape, he fought for survival. He can never let his guard down, because he knows that his strength and determination not only keep him alive, but also those who believe in him.

Ein einzigartiger Spieler zu sein, hat so seine Vorteile, bringt aber auch eine Reihe von Problemen mit sich. Nachdem Rosgard in den Besitz eines Zaubers gelangt ist, der den magischen Schleier von einem unerforschten Kontinent entfernt, muss er sich auf die Rolle des Navigators vorbereiten. Denn er allein kann die Expedition über den Ozean anführen. Tut er dies nicht, wird ihm der Zauber von der Spielleitung entzogen. Rosgards Wunsch, eine Legende im Spiel zu werden, steht im Konflikt mit der Abenteuerlust unseres Helden, die jeden Versuch, seinen Charakter konsequent zu leveln, untergräbt.

You've done well in life—but success is dull. You miss the days when you strove for a goal, when life was full of meaning and struggle. Well, fate has given you the chance to feel all of that again—granted, in less than comfortable circumstances. You wake up in a strange place where every day is a fight for survival, where even relaxing for a minute can spell your doom. This place is your new home—it is both strict confinement and a whole universe unto itself . . .

The vicious battle with the gray orcs is over. The outpost of Gray Peak has not surrendered to the enemy. Battered by swords and magic, the orcs have retreated back to their home mountains. The black storm clouds have scattered. But the break promises to be short-the orcs will soon return.

Der fleißige Zwerg hat viele Herausforderungen gemeistert. Trotz mächtiger Gegner ist es ihm gelungen, sich und sein Reich zu schützen. Doch Ruhe ist ihm nicht vergönnt. Die Zukunft ist ein ständiger Kampf, mit unermüdlichem Einsatz beim Schmieden und Graben, zahlreichen Abenteuern und unverhofften Begegnungen. Niemand vermag zu sagen, was als Nächstes geschehen wird.

The hardworking dwarf has overcome many hardships. He has clashed with formidable opponents, but managed to protect himself and his domain. However, there is no break in sight. The future is an uphill battle, filled with long hours of blacksmithing and digging, and lots of adventures and surprise encounters. Nobody knows what will happen next. For now, the outpost of Gray Peak continues to hold the fort, with no intention of surrendering to the enemy . . .

Doch kein Grund zu verzweifeln! Zeige Entschlossenheit, anstatt nur zu existieren. Du musst handeln. Du musst dein eigenes Spiel spielen. Das ist der einzige Weg, um zu einer wahren Legende von Waldyra zu werden. Du kannst nicht ewig vor deinen Problemen davonlaufen. Irgendwann wirst du dich ihnen stellen müssen. Also tue es nach deinen eigenen Bedingungen. Das Gespräch mit jemandem zu suchen, der dich in der Vergangenheit (vermeintlich) betrogen hat, wäre wahrscheinlich ein guter Anfang. Oder dich vielleicht der Bedrohung stellen und den Spieß umdrehen.

Wie zäh muss man sein, um den Stürmen des Lebens zu trotzen? Was tun, wenn alles, für das man so lange und so hart gearbeitet hat, in nur einer Stunde in sich zusammenfällt? Wenn das Leben einen solchen Schicksalsschlag bereithält, ist die Verzweiflung vermutlich groß — selbst wenn es sich nur um ein virtuelles Leben handelt. Für den Zwerg namens Krähe ist das virtuelle Leben genauso wichtig wie die Realität. In diesem Spiel steckt eine tiefere Bedeutung, die vorläufig nur dem Helden bekannt ist; alle anderen können nur raten.

Some dream of prosperity, of living a calm and peaceful life. But not me. Having reached the pinnacles of success, I can't stop thinking about the past, about a time when any misstep could spell disaster, when I had to pay, work, and risk everything for even the slightest gain and each day was like walking a knife's edge. That's all in the past now. This peaceful, predictable, and privileged life isn't so bad. But it's boring!
