Survival Quest (The Way of the Shaman

A product of the latest technologies, Barliona is a virtual world brimming with fun and entertainment. The government has become the guarantor for the in-game currency, allowing its free circulation. As a result, the population floods Barliona in pursuit of easy money. It doesn't take long for the game developers to discover a source of free labor: real-world prison convicts. While their bodies are locked in special auto-maintenance virtual capsules, the prisoners' minds are released into Barliona's vitual mines. Dmitry Mahan has been through it all. Sentenced to eight years hard labor, he now struggles with an unpopular class - the Shaman - and an equally unpopular profession of a Jeweler. His fight for survival becomes anything but virtual.

There are whole anthologies of stories out there about what humankind does when a game enters their world. But what about when they're living in one where a game arrived thousands of years before? What if they're the survivors of a bloody struggle, having fought for and earned their place on the planet? Tailyn Vlashich was a young nobody far away from all those grander issues. All he cared about was one thing: making his way through a harsh world where the emperor, evil foes, and an impartial god held sway. And the god, of course, demanded nothing less than that all things were done in accordance with its divine will.

However, this seemingly ordinary quest sets in motion such a momentous chain of events that the Shaman can do nothing but resort to his intuition and act on instinct. After all, a player who is being hunted by the three top clans of the continent at once, can do little else...

Survival Quest (the Way of the Shaman Book #1)

Was soll man tun, wenn sich die ganze Welt gegen einen verschworen hat? Aufgeben, in irgendein Loch kriechen und die Feinde anbetteln, das eigene Leben zu verschonen? So offensichtlich die Antwort auf diese Frage auch sein mag - schon manch Erwachsener war an den Klippen zerschellt, die der zwölfjährige Tailyn Vlashich jetzt zu erklimmen hatte. Vor ihm lag ein geheimes Labor, das einst den Ancients gehörte, während an seinen Fersen eine ganze Horde hing, die von seinem Erzfeind angeführt wurde. Aber bei all dem begleiteten Tailyn seine Freunde, die ihn liebten und an ihn glaubten, und diese Unterstützung war genug, um ihn bis ans Ende der Welt zu tragen. Blieb nur noch eine Frage: Wer war der Absorber? Und was wollte er von Tailyn?

Kaum war er hineingekommen, warteten das Training, die Arena, der Unterricht und eine interessante Auffassung dessen, was sich dreitausend Jahre zuvor abgespielt hatte, auf ihn, und zur Krönung ein dynamisches Labyrinth und die Möglichkeit, mit dem Akademieleiter zu sprechen. Er war schließlich derjenige, der den Schlüssel zum Geheimnis des Drachenbluts besaß. Aber wie findet man Zeit zum Lernen, wenn der eigene Mentor ein Problem hat, das er allein nicht lösen kann? Wieder einmal führt Tailyns Weg ihn weit weg von den lauten Sälen der Akademie, und wieder einmal ist es das Leben selbst, das die Rolle seines getreuen Lehrmeisters übernimmt.
