Description: I was the most powerful healer in my world — the best, having devoted my entire life to mastering the art of healing. And yet, for whatever reason, my brother feared that I sought to claim his throne, and he marshaled his forces against me.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter, all the same I’d been planning on trying out a certain ritual and now...

I’m in another world altogether!? And this body I’m inhabiting, well, it’s not mine, but some young guy’s! And what’s it mean that in this world the gift of the healer is downright pathetic?

Apparently, they simply don’t know how to handle power.

Well, I’ll show them...

Description: What could be simpler? On my very first day in this world I was given the title of a count, along with all the trimmings: a castle, name, lands and power.

You’d think I had it made, but no... They seized my castle, took my lands, and now, I’m surrounded by enemies. Moreover, it’s nothing but one headache after another with the authorities.

And even though I wrested my castle back, the neighbors aren’t going anywhere, and they live and breathe to tear off chunks of my land, and eliminate me, the new head of the family.

There’s just one thing I don’t get. Why do they think that since I’m a healer I can’t simply raze their house to the ground? Really, don’t they see that fine blaze over there? Something’s on fire!

Well, I’ll show them...

Description: Mikhail came here from a world where not just force, but also a man’s word meant something. But here in his new home, it was different. Not only were there few here who possessed strong Gifts, or were truly powerful mages, there were still fewer who knew how to keep their word.

How, then, was he to restore the status of the Bulatov Family? Of course, as the head of the Family, Mikhail would never give up, and he always managed to find a way to outsmart his adversaries. But since this world was lacking in specialists who were honest, much less competent, he might as well expand his horizons in his quest for worthy allies. Yes, let's see what another world might offer. How about a specialist in artifacts who is rather antisocial, preferring to study necromancy and the magic of death in peace and quiet, even if he was sometimes the victim of boredom? Why not find reliable companions to secure the comeback of the Bulatovs?

Yes, slowly but surely, Mikhail was finding the kind of company he needed, and the castle and lands were growing ever stronger, as was Mikhail himself, although the alien invasions were proliferating, bringing new, even more forbidding adversaries. So expect more adventures, surprising challenges, and more fun!

Description: The threats I've been facing in this world, well, it's like playing whack-a-mole. The local aristocrats are still conspiring to put roadblocks in the path of the ever more powerful Bulatov Family. And then I have the offworlders from another world — they haven't gone anywhere, either. They're still opening portals and sending through invaders, although, thus far, these attacks have been isolated grabs for loot and prisoners. A portal opens, offworlders dash out, get what they can, and retreat. For me, the offworlders have generally been an irritant and not much more. In contrast, the aristocratic enemies within my new world have consumed far more of my energy. That being said, it looks like now, the offworlders have managed to unite, and take over the city neighboring Arkhangelsk. Does that mean that it is now time for me to turn my attention to ushering out the guests from another world? And will this offworld threat force these local aristocrats to drop their hostilities and band together against our common enemy? Hard to say, but, like usual, I can only really count on myself and my forces. Let’s just hope I have what it takes to get the job done!

But his enemies also include his competitors, and, of course, neighboring aristocrats who seek to seize the lands and assets of this impudent upstart, this Count Bulatov.Only what does the count himself think about all this?

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg… What will happen should the emperor finally realize the truth about Mikhail?
