Some people just knew how to go out in style. Tim had never been one of those guys. Tim was always a planner. The plan was to get into college, graduate, and find a well-paying job. That plan was coming together nicely until he saw a presentation to get paid to play The Etheric Coast. At his graduation ceremony. After watching the company's employee recruitment video, Big Richie's words had a whole new meaning. He could spend his life going from a cubicle at work to a one-bedroom apartment and back again...or enter a virtual world of unlimited possibilities.

Tim's plan didn't include going toe to toe with one of the most powerful men in Promethia, but he had, and he won. Wasn't winning supposed to make things easier? Instead of getting to live on easy street, Tim's victory only increased his reputation as a man who could solve problems. This time those problems had teeth. Thankfully Tim hit level 10, and once he settled on his upgraded class their newest adventure could began in earnest.

Eternia was almost back to full strength, but the Duke was making her move to take over the kingdom for the Dark Goddess Vitaria. Now the Blue Dagger Society would have to fight on two fronts. They had to secure the kingdom before taking the fight to Vitaria.

The Blue Dagger Society saved the city of Tristholm from Vitaria's minions and defeated the evil under the mountain. Keeping the Etheric Coast free of Vitaria's influence was going to take more aggressive measures than pounding a hammer into some steel. It was time to throw down with a goddess. Knowing they had their own goddess standing right behind them made Tim feel more optimistic about their chances. Eternia's influence was growing with each one of their victories. With the Goddess of Light standing behind them, how could they lose?

Does the Blue Dagger Society really want to go into this line of work? Their next quest would be decided over a heaping double stack of Joe's famous buttermilk pancakes. Doesn't everything work better with pancakes? King Rasmus has something Eternia needs. The Blue Dagger Society needs the experience. It was settled. They were about to embark on another epic adventure.

Alex was a gamer. Gaming wasn't just a lifestyle. The essence of his favorite hobby was woven into his DNA. At least, that is what his parents liked to say after he pulled an all-night slaughterfest.

Vampires had been extinct for thousands of years, or so we thought. Captain Drake was the kind of smuggler that would take any job that needed to be done.

Samantha Ripley only wanted one thing, she wanted to get off Hyperion Four. For the last four years, she had dedicated herself to nothing but flight school. Her graduation was so close she could almost taste it. A chance encounter as she finished her shift at the diner was...

Dylan McCormick is an average 18-year-old kid who graduated high school with his friends. The plus side of working at the family sandwich shop instead of going straight to university is he skipped gaining the freshman 15. The downside is no woman likes hearing, "Keep it down, my parents are upstairs...." A small indignity in exchange for free rent and a job that pays above minimum wage.
