Pandorum is launching a massive offensive, aiming to destroy Cat and his clan. As they’re blazing through everything in their path, thousands of players clash in battle, and the biggest alliances of Sphere join the fray. Can Cat stay on the sidelines? After all, he’s able to buy and sell almost anything in the game—even victory itself. Cat fights his own war in economics and trade. Which role will the merchant play in a bloody war fated to go down in the history of the game as the Battle for the North?

Meet Cat. He thinks everything has its price. You can pay in gold, or you pay in steel. And for the right price, even the entire Sphere of Worlds can be bought. Ever the merchant, he pays in souls, freeing the Goddess of Darkness in the astral fortress of Pandorum and becoming the archnemesis of the most powerful alliance in all of Sphere. Even as an enormous bounty is placed on his head with hunters trailing his every move, he never wavers. His patron, the God of Shadows, sends Cat to the twilight world of the Hole to find the third of the seven Keys.

Now that Cat has discovered his sword’s secret and received the task to collect the Seven Keys, he’s not in a hurry to complete the new quest. Why would he care about the future of the world when he has much more exciting things to do, like claiming his place in the clan, participating in the redistributing of trade influence, and just plain making money? Cat starts building his own trading empire—and ends up getting involved in an all-out economic war. Having gotten the taste of real money, he travels to the Bazaar, the world’s biggest marketplace at the crossroads of trade routes.

Cat is a wannabe merchant who specializes in procuring in-game valuables to sell for real money. He's a cunning trickster who wriggles his way out of trouble thanks to his quick wit and his trading talents, and his credo is “Anyone can be bought provided the price is right." He starts from scratch, using every opportunity to advance his plans. The first book in the Rogue Merchant series, The Starlight Sword is the story of this common trader’s rise to becoming the world’s newest legend, the most famous merchant in the entire Sphere of the Worlds

Die Versammlung… So nennt das neurolinguistische System das Zusammentreffen der Vertreter am geheiligten Ort, am Fuß des strahlenden Ygg-Baums. Dabei werden neue Aszendenten ernannt, Streitigkeiten werden beigelegt, Bündnisse werden geschlossen, und Kriege werden erklärt.

Und darin lag Ewigkeit. Dort, im „Jenseits", tauchten die ausgewählten Aszendenten nach ihrem Tod wieder auf und erwarben Unsterblichkeit. Legenden zufolge hatten sich vor drei galaktischen Wendungen die Kel dorthin zurückgezogen, die Schöpfer der Dyson-Sphäre, um zu allmächtigen, unsterblichen Göttern zu werden. Ich muss herausfinden, wer recht hat, und welche Geheimnisse Ewigkeit verbirgt.

In the inhabited Circles of the Dyson Sphere the natives call Unity, everything is different. Time here is measured in cycles that change with the signs of the celestial calendar. The lords of the Skythrone set the new rules, and all Nations of the Circle gather for the moot to discuss how to live on.

The Earth freehold received a young Ygg-Tree, and I a golden prize and Petal-in-the-Wind, who is worth more than any gold. Now I am an Ascendant, the leader of a battle spear, and the freehold's first pilot. I am also all but immortal. That secret was revealed to me by the ancient voice who had shared my body for a long time. But why? What had happened to make me like this? And why can't I remember anything?

This 3-in-1 audiobook box set includes books one through three of the Rogue Merchant LitRPG series, where a common trader named Cat uses his quick wit and trading talents to wriggle out of trouble: The Starlight Sword, The Gene of Ancients, and Shadow Seer.

Die freie Gemeinschaft des Erdenvolks empfängt einen neuen Aszendenten, einen Piloten und Krieger – aber noch immer schwebt die Kolonie in Gefahr. Ihre Feinde haben ihre üblen Pläne nicht aufgegeben. Die Entscheidung wird während der großen Volksversammlung am leuchtenden Ygg-Baum fallen, bei der alle Bewohner unseres Kreises zusammenkommen. Und es gibt noch eine weitere Bedrohung – sie funkelt am nächtlichen Himmel, steuert die relativistischen Strahlen der Akkretions-Scheibe und überwacht die Veränderungen der Zeichen im himmlischen Kalender.

The Earth freehold has received a new Ascendant, pilot, and warrior, yet the colony is still in danger, as its enemies haven't abandoned their sinister plans. Everything will be decided at the big moot under the luminous Ygg-Tree, the gathering of the people of our Circle. Another threat is looming—the one twinkling in the night sky, controlling the relativistic jets of the accretion disk, and overseeing the change of Signs in the celestial calendar. The lords of Eternity must not learn who shares my body with me. But who is he, really? 

Eternity consumed the local sun three galactic turns ago. In its place is an accretion disk, people cast two shadows, and life can only exist in Circles formed by gigantic light-bearing Trees. Beyond them are icy chill and Darkness, and on the border between them, Shadow, the land of everlasting sunset. It is the domain of strange creatures and unusual plants that have never seen light, a place teeming with Worms whose only purpose is to devour every living thing, while the few sentients only care about putting you into slave's shackles.

Turns out, I'm not on Earth. Not on another planet, either. Everything is much worse. We ended up in an inhabited Circle of an ancient Dyson sphere that replaced the Solar System six galactic turns ago. There is no moon and no stars, and giant Ygg-Trees play the role of the sun. How can this be? Nobody knows. The locals call this place Unity, and it's governed by strict laws. Here, there are ordinary people and Ascendants capable of performing miracles with the aid of Slates and Runes. There are Watchers and the legacy of the ancient Kel civilization, celestial islands and mysterious Domains.

The Council of the Archons has been overthrown. Prometheus' final orders have been received. Still, a new menace is about to sweep over the city. Grey sets off for Neo Ark in order to face his old enemy. Or is it a friend? After all, no one really knows who the first Incarnators were or how they ended up on planet Earth.

Once Grey's true identity becomes known, the giant shadow of his past spreads its wings behind his back, summoning the immortal troops onto the Esplanade in order to fulfil the ancient oath of the First Legion.

Every survivor dreams of one day making it to the City. Humanity's last hope, it boasts the best resources and the greatest minds, bringing together the creme de la creme of the surviving civilization. Behind its unassailable walls and impregnable protection dome, the City bustles with life almost indistinguishable from the state-of-the-art culture of the fabled Utopian era. Grey sets off on a journey to the City in order to solve the mystery of his past. 

What's this book about? It's about the ancient mysteries of the Earth ravaged by mysterious entities from over the Edge. About the Black Moon hovering over the planet's one last remaining City and about its Legion created by Incarnators of old. About the Possessed warped by the power of primeval Darkness. About the Warriors, Enchanters, and Technomancers who once rose to defend humanity from the ancient evil.

The natives call the astroengineering contraption built around the black hole the Skythrone. Within it lies Eternity, an afterlife of sorts where chosen Ascendants travel after their death to gain immortality. Yet unlike the heaven and hell of Earth, it is absolutely real, and sometimes, guests who call themselves the emissaries of Eternity come down from there. But are they guests or are they masters?

Wie sich herausgestellt hat, bin ich nicht auf der Erde gelandet. Und auch nicht auf einem anderen Planeten. Es ist alles viel schlimmer. Ich stecke in einem bewohnten Kreis einer uralten Dyson-Sphäre, die vor sechs galaktischen Rotationen das Sonnensystem ersetzt hat. Es gibt keinen Mond und keine Sterne – und riesige Ygg-Bäume haben die Rolle der Sonne übernommen. Wie das sein kann? Das weiß niemand. Die Einheimischen nennen diesen Ort Einigkeit, und hier herrschen strenge Gesetze.
