  Brought to us by the Drabs, it was the last thing we expected. But the Drabs knew. They even fought a war over whether or not they should save us. In the end, it was decided that we were diseased insects who were unfit to breathe their air. 
   
   
   
  So they left the human race to die a miserable death of agonizing pain in a matter of months. Left us with no doctors or medicine. Their plan was to rid the earth of us and to take our home as their own. 
   
   
   
  What they never expected was the change that would come after the plague. We didn't all die off as they'd planned. Those under the age of twenty somehow managed to survive the disease. 
   
   
   
  Still human, but now something else. Something more powerful and more intuitive. Now possessed of magical powers and abilities beyond belief, we're still here on this earth, and we're not leaving. 
   
   
   
  Drabs take note and learn to be afraid. You've had a hundred years here on earth, but now your time here is done. Humanity isn't dead. Not by a long shot. We still have our soldiers and we have our conviction. 
   
   
   
  And we will win in the end. Whatever it takes. Whatever it costs. We won't allow you to take our planet from us. So count your days, Drabs. 
   
   
   
  Contains mature themes.

  A spunky human innkeeper drowning in magical pests, a brooding orc brewmaster, and the fake engagement that could save them both. 
   
   
   
  I've poured my heart and soul into reviving my aunt's inn after her passing, but a pixie dust mite infestation threatens to destroy everything. Their glittery trails of destruction have infiltrated the guest rooms, and the cost to eradicate them will leave me penniless. 
   
   
   
  I'm desperate for a solution. 
   
   
   
  Enter Thorak Ironfist, the orc who once tormented me in high school. Now a wealthy brewmaster, he's determined to expand his ale empire into the human realm. But prejudice stands in his way. When a potential investor mistakes him for the muscle instead of the brains, Thorak blurts out that his human "fiancée" handles the business side of things. 
   
   
   
  Fate intervenes when I overhear his fib. 
   
   
   
  I seize the opportunity and strike a deal: I'll play the part of his devoted human partner if he financially aids me in banishing the pests. 
   
   
   
  What could possibly go wrong?

  Shadow World - Into The Fourth...

  When two Americans step into the “shadow world” of the fourth dimension, they expect danger, but they don’t expect what they find: an advanced civilization on the brink of collapse, a stolen life-force called abcilene, and a growing fear of an enemy across the border. Tom Jarvis and Peter Hantzen have one mission — return to Earth with the rare substance they call radiumite, a resource that could stop a global war before it starts. But every world has its own politics, and every mission has its traitor. Someone isn’t who they seem, and the thefts happening in this strange dimension may already have deadly consequences. 
  Written by Ray Cummings, one of the most important early voices in science fiction, “Shadow World” blends scientific speculation, alien culture-building, and thriller pacing. Cummings helped shape the genre in the 1920s and ‘30s with stories that explored parallel universes, time travel, and dimensional physics long before they became mainstream sci-fi themes. His famous quote still echoes today: “Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.” A defining author of the early pulps, he worked for Thomas Edison, wrote for Argosy and Amazing Stories, and inspired generations of writers who built on his cosmic imagination. 
  This is vintage, high-concept science fiction at its best — a world of thought-communication, shimmering life-energy, and heroes forced to choose between loyalty, survival, and the fate of two universes. What begins as a scientific mission becomes a moral crisis, a battle of ideologies, and a race against both war and betrayal.

Immortal, powerful and monstrous, it doesn’t take them long to make their way back up the ladder, but this time it’s not in the manors and mansions of the Darkland elite, it’s the dark underbelly known as the Umbrage.
