Max Hoste has known struggle since the day he acquired his black skill, Consume. Now with a friend kidnapped, he and the rest of his party must find a way to save Cordellia before something happens to her. Making things harder is that Bob, his black skill, has vanished, locked away somewhere since they overrode the tower and brought Rakonath into it.

Max's return to his own world is like a meteor streaking across the sky for everyone to see. Upon arriving home, he completes multiple tower floors in the tower solo and finds his friends inside, reuniting with them and learning that he has a child on the way with Tanila. With a slight understanding of the true power out there and the need to help his team get stronger, Max also has a few loose ends that must be tied up.

Max and the team make a decision to return to Igarra's world and try to figure out what has happened since he has been gone. Upon their arrival they learn Max's place as the world champion has been taken by another. He must defeat the new champion or suffer death. They had come in hopes of growing stronger in the tower on a different world. Now once again it seems that there is a game in play and Max and the rest are merely pieces on the board. Can they survive this new threat and return home to their world?

The dream of every adventurer became real as Max, Tanila, Fowl, and Batrire entered the tower. Before they can finish the first floor, they learn that not only is the tower going to challenge them in a variety of new ways, but that the bosses that spawn are much harder than what the dungeons had. New skills, powerful equipment, and growing stats await if they can conquer the challenges. Cordellia, an elven archer, has joined their party. But the secret of Max's Consume must be kept from her, even while in close contact.

Max is finally getting a handle on the skill, finding enjoyment in battling and striving to grow his skills and stats. His new friends don't know the whole truth, but they flee trouble together, arriving at the human capital of Peltagow. With a new city to explore and dungeons to delve, the party sets their sights on gaining levels and acquiring stronger items.

Max wanted to be a [Baker]. Settle down, bake stuff, and enjoy life. The gods, however, ruined that dream.

Now, Max must find a way to grow strong enough to survive the people and the god hunting him.

With the threat on Tanila's life, Max gives into the black skill: Consume. It has evolved, and the destruction it brought was glorious, frightening, and overwhelming. Now, with the new growth and power that came with it, Max and the others find themselves once again fighting against difficult odds as they make a push to get strong enough to reach the tower.

Captured by a powerful foe, Max finds himself teleported to a terrible prison. His black skill, Bob, and Max work together to try and break free, but the mysterious captor stymies them at every turn. A cruel game is played with Max. He is released into an unfamiliar jungle with seven days to survive and escape, as the Hunter who captured him begins the most dangerous game they will ever play. Max and his black skill must try to survive in an environment far harsher than anything they've ever seen.

As Max and the team defeat yet another boss in the tower, they quickly realize that they are facing harder things than most. Each of them must work together to overcome challenges that test not only their strength and power but also their minds as new and dangerous puzzles begin to appear. Yet behind every rainbow and new opportunity that comes, someone is there trying to steal the freedom one gains.

When the Ascension Games began, Earth was thrown into a deadly contest against two alien civilizations. Every battle is livestreamed. Every move is watched. Survival means leveling up fast or dying for the audience. Zach never set out to be a hero. He just wanted to stay alive. But between climbing the ranks and dodging death, he found a few unlikely allies. Some of them aren't even human. Now, with the fate of three worlds at stake, Zach is doing whatever it takes to protect the people he cares about. Even if some of them were supposed to be his enemies.

Max' Entscheidung Rakonath zusammen mit seiner Gruppe in den Turm mitzunehmen, hat schwere Konsequenzen. Bob, seine schwarze Fertigkeit, wurde weggesperrt. Nun setzt der Turm ihnen schwierige Szenarien und Entscheidungen vor, die lang anhaltende Konsequenzen haben könnten.

Kaen is a typical teenage orphan in Ebonmount—toiling in a quarry for his keep as he yearns for adventure far beyond the confines of his laborious existence. But everything changes when he stumbles upon a bronze egg. From its shell emerges Pammon, a dragon, marking Kaen as the first human in generations to bond with such a creature and entwining his destiny with that of the elite adventurers’ guild. Suddenly thrust into a life he’s only dreamed of, Kaen embraces his bond with Pammon and what it truly means to be chosen by fate.

Magnus is now Einar, a Viking warrior tasked with a quest that would crush most in a heartbeat. Odin's command is simple: Destroy my enemies and prevent Ragnarok. The enemies of a god are no simple creatures, yet powerful beings over their own. Einar must now form a small pack and venture into the Elven realm of Alfheim to assist them against the dark forces. While there, he also wants to acquire the reagents needed to create more runes.

Before Kaen can win a battle—much less a war—he must learn how to harness the incredible energy of his lifestone, and identify who is friend and who is foe as others join his cause. Trained by the aging Elies and his dragon, Tharnok, Kaen and his own dragon, Pammon, urge each other harder and higher with every practice run, all in service of the fight that is ultimately Kaen's destiny.

Starting life over in a strange land and a different time was a challenge for young Kaen. But his fate as the last Dragon Rider magically bonded him to the magnificent, powerful Pammon and marked him as a hero, a legend, and an inspiring protector of his people. With Amaranth and Glynnis as partners in the fight against Stioks and Juthom, what could go wrong? Turns out a lot. But he still has hope. Now, Kaen faces what could be his last brutal challenge: keeping his people from slow death by starvation and putting an end to the shattering of families perpetrated by the orc and ogre enemy.

Ragnarok is near and the Vikings of Midgard have failed to uphold their duty to prevent it. With time running out, the All-Father Odin himself, searches all the worlds for one last warrior who might hold back the destruction threatening Nine Realms and every world created. Magnus’s death caught the All-Father’s one good eye. As an Army Ranger, he knew he was placing himself in the line of fire every day, and knew a day could come that cost him his life. What he didn't want was the rest of his team would be wiped out with him, the worst disaster the Rangers had experienced in decades.

Jetzt, wo eine Freundin gekidnappt wurde, müssen er und der Rest seiner Gruppe einen Weg finden, Cordellia zu retten, bevor ihr etwas zustößt. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass Bob, seine schwarze Fertigkeit, verschwunden und irgendwo verschlossen ist, seit sie die Regeln des Turms gebrochen und Rakonath eingeschleust haben.

Max' Rückkehr in seine eigene Welt ist wie ein Meteor, der für alle sichtbar über den Himmel fliegt. Als er zu Hause ankommt, überwindet er im Alleingang mehrere Stockwerke des Turms und findet seine Freunde im Turm wieder, wo er sie wiedertrifft und erfährt, dass er mit Tanila ein Kind erwartet. Mit einem leichten Verständnis für die wahre Macht da draußen und dem Bedürfnis, seinem Team zu helfen, stärker zu werden, hat Max auch noch ein paar weitere Dinge, die erledigt werden müssen.

Der Traum eines jeden Abenteurers wurde wahr, als Max, Tanila, Fowl und Batrire den Turm betraten.

Neue Fähigkeiten, mächtige Ausrüstung und wachsende Werte warten auf sie, wenn sie die Herausforderungen meistern können. Cordellia, eine elfische Bogenschützin, hat sich ihrer Gruppe angeschlossen. Aber das Geheimnis von Max' Consume muss vor ihr geheim gehalten werden.
