Elloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon.

Book Description
Throughout his career, Taro Yoko was despaired by the image of humanity returned by most big budget video games. Taro Yoko's strange work reviews the entire career of this extraordinary creator, his games (Drakengard, NieR) and sheds light on the link that constitutes his work. Check out this complete book on Taro Yoko, which explores the contours of its games, their development, the complexity of their stories and their thematic depth. With a preface by Taro Yoko himself ! EXTRACT Nowadays, most of the players who have heard of Taro Yoko do not associate his name to any particular face. Inconvenienced by public appearances, the director systematically equipped himself with a device to cover his face during meetings with the press, at least since the creation of NieR. Shortly before the announcement of NieR: Automata at the E3 2015, Yoko even had a mask made, based on the character Emil, by a plastic artist from PlatinumGames for a mere four hundred euros. Since then, he has worn it every time he is in the presence of photo and video cameras. His persistence in hiding his face under this thick layer of plastic naturally arouses curiosity. One might be led to believe that this is a communication strategy or the eccentricity of an enigmatic creator. Nevertheless, the visual anonymity of the director is in no way a means to nurture the mystery of his personality. Far from comparing himself to the likes of Banksy (a famous street artist and statement maker, who prefers to remain anonymous), Yoko just prefers to let his games speak for themselves. In fact, ask him, and he will answer with no difficulty that he grew up in Nagoya, in the Japanese prefecture of Aichi. Restaurant managers (izakayas, ramens, tempuras, etc.), his parents flitted from one restaurant opening to the next and entrusted their son’s education to his grandmother. WHAT CRITICS THINK "Overall, I enjoyed my time with The Strange Works of Taro Yoko, especially as a fan of the man’s works [...] It’s a great companion piece for long-time fans, and if you’re looking for more unofficial content to read about for the Drakenier universe, you can’t go too wrong." - RPG Site ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nicolas Turcev - Journalist specialized in pop culture, he has contributed to the following magazines: Chronic’Art, Carbone, Games and Gamekult, and occasionally participates in the video game analysis site Merlanfrit. He is also the author of several articles of the Level Up collection at Third Éditions.

The novel "Poetical Works of Henry Lawson" is a publication of some of the works of Australia's greatest poet, Henry Lawson. Compiled by E.T. Hoffman, he states, "Henry Lawson is the first articulate voice of the real Australia. Other singers in plenty the southern continent knows and has known men and women following bravely in the broad pathway where Byron strode and Wordsworth loitered; but one alone has found the heart of the new land, its rugged strength, its impatience of old restraints, its hopes and fears and despairs, its irreverence and grim humour, and the tenderness and courage that underlie them all..."

Book Description
After an accident, Le Xiao Ting found herself possessing a small cannon fodder's body inside a novel she had been reading. But why did the storyline going to a different direction than what she had read? Xiao Hua, the body she was currently possessing, would die if she continued staying around Princess Long Lian and the Third Prince Long Zhu, but her attempted escape failed. Xiao Hua was supposed to be the princess' maidservant in the novel, but she ended up as the Third Prince's personal maid instead. Not only that, her expected days of being a hardworking servant did not happen, but ended up being the most leisurely maid that's very much favoured by her new master. The change was centered on the Third Prince, who was supposed to be an unambitious prince and cannon fodder, but he did not act according to his script. He went wild by arming himself with power and gathered the heroine's supporting male leads to go against the hero and heroine! Did she actually transmigrate into a fanfiction version of the novel instead of the original one?
