Prolog. Mit Feindesaugen

Pa-lin-thu, Hauptstadt der Ersten Präfektur

Palast des Regierungsrates

Kleine Ratskammer

IN EINE SCHLICHTE schwarze Zeremonienrobe ohne jegliche Ornamente oder Verzierungen gekleidet schritt Thumor-Anhu La-Fin majestätisch den beleuchteten Weg zum Podium hinauf. Aus den Augenwinkeln sah der alte Mann die feindseligen Blicke aus den Reihen, die den düsteren, stillen Raum mit Kälte erfüllten. Der Magierführer spürte auch ohne Einsatz seiner psionischen Fähigkeiten die Spannung. Er wusste bereits, wie gierig diese niederrangigen Herrscher ihn verschlingen würden, wenn ihm ein Fehler unterlief oder er auch nur einen Hauch von Schwäche oder Ängstlichkeit zeigte. All diese Magier fürchteten und respektierten nur eines: Stärke. Während Mitregent Thumor-Anhu La-Fin also durch diesen Raum ging, musst er dafür sorgen, dass in seinem stolzen, majestätischen Gesicht kein einziger Muskel zuckte.

Chapter 1

"Foreman Aren, it's a boy..."

The head of one of the most prosperous mining crews in Orchus, Foreman Aren looked deeply into the gloomy gaze of the healer woman who delivered his wife's baby and was sincerely perplexed. What possible reason could there be for someone to tell him this joyous news with such a sour face? But a few moments later, it began to reach him. He was born, but there’s no crying...

"Is he dead?"

Despite being a man who had seen all manner of things in this life, the words didn't come easily to him.

"He is alive," the healer woman answered darkly and quickly added quietly, almost whispering:

"But it would be better if he weren’t..."

Aren squinted his eyes predatorily and took a step forward. If his gaze could burn, not even ash would remain of this witch doctor. Dalia calmly bore the miner's hateful stare and said:

CHAPTER ONE

The day started out like any other weekday. Who knew it would be my last day of freedom?

It was a Monday, right after a great weekend camping with my friends. I love the outdoors, and I especially love Golden Lake. The oaks and birches there are huge, maybe even centuries old, and yesterday the air had been clear and especially fresh, with a misty fog emanating from the lake. Lit by the morning sun, it had glowed a luminous golden pink, as if alive...

Chapter 1. Last Day in the Life of Luca Dezisimu

Luca’s day was turning out average. They’d caught his sister at the market again, trying to steal a couple of soused apples from a merchant. The fruit cost a copper a basket, but to pay the girl’s bail, her mother would have to wash other people’s clothes non-stop for a week. At least an old friend of hers, another washerwoman, had gotten sick and passed her clients on.

That was why it had been two days since Luca last ate when his mother, herself barely staying upright, fed him some hastily cooked broth of potato skins. Nemania Kovachar, the owner of the only inn in the entire district, sold potato skins and similar leavings on the side.

To help his mother collect the bail money, Luca climbed into his wheelchair with her help and slowly rolled out of the hovel they lived in, heading toward the temple. The porch there was always full of professional beggars, but if he made as if he was just rolling by, he might get a few coins.

His mother didn’t even want to discuss allowing him to join the beggars’ guild. She had been and always remained the proud wife of a gladiator. They might live in a hovel on the edge of town now, since his father’s death, but there had been a time when they had a good house almost in the center of the capital, and apart from babysitters, Luca had had a nanny that taught him his letters and various sciences.

Introduction

Reality is cruel. The rising level of technological development has led to a rising level of unemployment. They're laying off everybody, from teachers to technical servicemen. What's the point of holding onto a person if they can be replaced by an advanced mechanism? But what are the people to do? How are they to live? Where are they to get money from? There is only one answer – Barliona! The official government project is gathering steam, luring more and more people into its net. Who knows how people will behave when they lose everything?

Brody West is one such person. Unlike most, he doesn't lose heart. A professional project manager with thirty years in the business simply cannot do that. He has a goal, and a clear understanding of how to achieve it. Nobody can get in his way – not the new class, not the strange friend, and not the unexpected foes.

Vasily Mahanenko: Shaman is the worst cheater of 'em all

Simon Vale talked to Vasily Mahanenko about writing LitRPG, being a literary agent, getting back to Barliona (with his new series - a direct continuation of The Way of the Shaman) and Galactogon 3. 

The Way of the Shaman

Have you read anything interesting just lately?

Recently, I organized two literary contests: a fantasy and a LitRPG, so now I'm busy reading the works sent in for the former. There was a very strong manuscript among them, amazingly so. I think it's going to win. It's a powerful work at the same level as Abercrombie. It does drag out a bit, but I've already contacted the author and he agreed that the book requires some editing in order to pick up the pacing. He's already busy with this, so I hope that very soon we might have a translation-ready manuscript. The moment I started reading it, I realized that all my efforts organizing the contest hadn't been for nothing. I'd never have found this manuscript otherwise. It just doesn't show up in online fiction rankings.

Kapitel 1. Die Halluzination

„Früher war ich auch ein Abenteurer, aber dann habe ich einen Pfeil ins Knie bekommen.“

Skyrim

OBWOHL Mike Björnstad Hagen zum Teil skandinavischer Abstammung war, besaß er so viel Ähnlichkeit mit einem Wikinger wie ein Chihuahua mit einer Dänischen Dogge. Er hatte eine Reihe von Spitznamen wie „Heulsuse Mikey“, „Micker-Mikey“, „Mikey, das Weichei“ oder sogar „Hey, du Schwanzlutscher!“ Niemand hatte ihn jemals „Mr. Hagen“ genannt.

Das einzige Mal, dass das beinahe passiert wäre, war bei einem Termin in seiner Bank, als Hagen versuchte, einen Hypothekenkredit aufzunehmen. „Tut mir so leid, Mr. Hagen, aber Ihr Kreditantrag ist abgelehnt worden“, sagte der Mann hinter dem Tresen, ohne auch nur zu versuchen, sich sein selbstgefälliges Grinsen zu verkneifen.

Mike hätte ihm mit Vergnügen die Fresse poliert, wenn er nur gewusst hätte, wie man kämpft.
