From book 1:
Yesterday Altai was a war hero. Today he is a prisoner who chose exile to Rhapsody instead of death. This planet, the Range, knows no mercy. Here, thousands of prisoners fight each other for a place under the strange, cold sun. Here, the leftover alien biomechanisms and out-of-control Terran war machines roam in the ruins, and human life is measured in virtual experience that can be exchanged for armor and implants.
Surviving in the Limbo slaughterhouse, upgrading to the tenth level and getting into the Green Zone is all any dead man can hope for. Except not everyone succeeds. Altai will have to make a lot of effort just to take a breather, and remaining high in the audience’s favor is something worth striving for. After all, the Range, among other things, is the most popular reality show, one of the few where everything is real, and death...death only raises the ratings.

"Arktania" is a virtual game with a steampunk style. It's a place where magic spells, enchanted artifacts, steam-powered machines, firearms and mechanical golems are a part of everyday life.
Gamer Andrew Falk begins his journey in a small village on the border of Orcish territory. The locals are the keepers of many secrets, but their behavior is too realistic for characters in a game; so realistic, in fact, that Andrew starts to treat them as if they were real people. Maybe because of the way he plays, or maybe just thanks to good luck, he becomes one of a mysterious class of people known as "sliders,” and Elenia, the goddess of fate, sends him on an epic quest. But he quickly comes to understand that it's not just his stats as a gamer that are at stake here, but his real life. The virtual goddess turns out to be capable of affecting the real world in order to force Andrew to complete her assignments within the game.
Now Andrew's going to have to turn Arktania upside-down in his quest for five ancient swords. But the "Loner" curse means that he won't have anyone to rely on but himself.

This is a sequel to Dem Mikhailov’s cult LitRPG saga Clan Dominance: The Sleepless Ones!Life is an immense colored mosaic of stories and biographies. This is true for the virtual world of Waldyra as well—it’s enormous, boundless, and full of colors. The end of one story is also the beginning of another. The story of the Great Navigator and the Great Oceanic Expedition might have been a long one, but it was simply a very short epoch of the Great Navigator to the world of Waldyra. And this epoch already ran its course.
However, the story of Rosgard was only beginning, and life has many challenges, adventures, clan quests, and mysteries in stock for him—as well as family trouble and a plethora of momentous events that begin randomly and end unpredictably.
This story is for those interested in what happens to Rosgard after the Great Expedition and what other adventures he’ll have and secrets he’ll learn. Even though he remains a famous player, his legendary status is no more, and he is no longer under the auspices of the incredibly influential clan of the Sleepless Ones.
What will Rosgard get involved in now?
He obviously needs to ponder founding a clan, choosing the region of Waldyra that he favors the most as his home base. The problem, though, is that soon after the exodus of most old school heavyweight players to Zar’Graad the PKs and the fledgling Old Continent clans transformed the Lake District, which remained unattended, into a gloomy and dangerous place. Therefore, one would first of all have to put things in order with an iron hand so that life could finally get back to normal.
Attention! It is recommended to familiarize oneself with the Clan Dominance: the Sleepless Ones series before embarking on this journey!
Hi, my name’s Max and I’m one of the Selected.
What’s the first thing that pops into your head when you read those words? A great hero, chosen from among all the billions of people on Earth? A lucky man who has ended up on an unknown world and gained superpowers? An explorer of new worlds who has discovered his destiny?
Well, that’s all true, but there is one but... Actually, if I’m honest, there are a whole load of buts. And there are rules. And the first rule of the Selected is:
“Try not to die. It is expensive and impractical.”
In the twenty-second century, humankind established contact with alien civilizations. The average person saw little change.
Our galactic neighbors had no interest in our minerals, nor in settling here, or in anything else for that matter. In the vastness of space, Earth was not unique. It was one of untellable millions. It was a sad realization that our Solar System, sitting in the backwaters of the galaxy, was of little to no value and held no consequence for anyone.
Earth bumbled on alone, and hardly anyone saw true extraterrestrials.
Ultimately, it would not be aliens coming to us. It would be the other way around.
A few of us did make it out there. I was one of them.
I am the first of my kind.

LitRPG meets pirate adventure!
The Caribbean is a virtual world based on the Golden Age of piracy. The ring of steel, peal of cannons, clinking of coins and creaking of masts... Here players can build colonies, explore tropical islands or take to the high seas in pursuit of foes. Others, though, opt for pirate factions, stealing everything they can get their hands on. But now, all clans are building up forces in anticipation of a major tournament called "Henry Morgan's Fort."
That very reason is what leads a pirate clan to recruit Vadim through an old acquaintance. In the game, he chooses the name Rudra, and his future clanmates help him grind, level up and even become captain of a brig. He is then tasked with training a crew worthy of official membership in the strongest buccaneer clan to sail the Caribbean Sea.
But Rudra's headstrong temperament and an unusual quest cause a change of plans.
Rudra will follow in the footsteps of such renowned pirates as l'Olonnais and Henry Morgan. His adventures get him into all kinds of scrapes, introducing him to a daring pirate woman named Anneli, and putting him at odds with a mighty Spanish clan also searching for l'Olonnais' treasure.
Before long, events take him to the island of Saona, where the most powerful pirate and Spanish clans come together for an epic maritime battle...!
