When Erik and Rugrat entered the ten realms they didn't know what was going on. They only knew that they had contracted the two week curse. When entering the second realm they came to understand their character sheets, and part of the system that is called the ten realms. A place that the strong make the rules and the weak cling to them for protection and hope that they might be left in peace. They passed through the trials of the Beast Mountain Dungeon, taking control of it and becoming the leader of nearly two hundred people. Now in command of the Alva Dungeon and looking to forge a new future, they need more power, mana stones, dungeon cores, monster cores, if not then the Dungeon will stop functioning and they will need to relocate once again. As they ascend to the second realm, Erik and Rugrat need to grow their skills, gain information and find a dungeon. It's hardly ever that easy.
A common thread throughout anarchism/libertarianism is the eventual arrival at some utopian, free society. The idea is that if "we" focus "our" efforts on educating individuals on economics, morality, history, etc., "we" can hit critical mass, abolish the State, and live happily ever after. While this "free world" is a pipedream, it doesn't mean that self-liberators can't set up pockets of freedom in the here and now, despite the existence of the State: these respites from First Realm tyranny are called Second Realms.In Second Realm: Book on Strategy, Smuggler and XYZ build upon the framework laid by the likes of Samuel Edward Konkin III, Hakim Bey, and many anonymous cypherpunks: agoras, temporary/permanent autonomous zones, and digital freedom/privacy, respectively. But, the truly unique thing these authors were able to formulate was the merging of the physical and digital realms.Herein, the authors begin by discussing the underlying philosophy and the motivation for this particular freedom strategy; terms are defined and elaborated upon; they tell you how to practically create Second Realms EVERYWHERE; you'll learn about high and low tech tools that can be used to maintain these realms going into the future; how to facilitate trade between the two realms, and more.

In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
The most advanced book on Spiritual Warfare to date (Vol 1 of a series) - Learn the difference between demon and Fallen Angels!! The beginning of this book is a complete guide to Spiritual Warfare. Then Bruce Hines moves to detail a vast group of Fallen Angels and demonic spirits that have a highly structured organization of levels and grades according to numbers. Within this hierarchy, they are organized as a kingdom of four different dimensions in the Second Heaven. These different Fallen Angels within each of the four dimensions have descending orders of authorities and different rulers and sub rulers according to grade and number responsible for different areas of authority in the Second Heaven which rule over the earth through the minds of mankind. This multi-leveled kingdom of Fallen Angels has hordes of demonic spirits who work for them. The Fallen seek to create environments in which they exercise a dominating influence through demonic activity. The Bible speaks of the Fallen Angels as the corner point or the start of something. They are pictured as military leaders of demonic realms. The Bible labels them as thrones, dominions, principalities and powers. They have far superior power than demonic forces and have particular roles in controlling the destiny and activities of human beings. This book is the first of a series on how to defeat Fallen Angels and demonic forces that work for them. It assumes the reader knows about spiritual warfare but, it was written to advance the one who knows very little about spiritual warfare. This series is a must read for every intercessor and recommended for everyone in the body of Christ!

Wim Klooster and Gert Oostindie present a fresh look at the Dutch Atlantic in the period following the imperial moment of the seventeenth century. This epoch (1680–1815), the authors argue, marked a distinct and significant era in which Dutch military power declined and Dutch colonies began to chart a more autonomous path. The loss of Brazil and New Netherland were twin blows to Dutch imperial pretensions. Yet the Dutch Atlantic hardly faded into insignificance. Instead, the influence of the Dutch remained, as they were increasingly drawn into the imperial systems of Britain, Spain, and France. In their synthetic and comparative history, Klooster and Oostindie reveal the fragmented identity and interconnectedness of the Dutch in three Atlantic theaters: West Africa, Guiana, and the insular Caribbean. They show that the colonies and trading posts were heterogeneous in their governance, religious profiles, and ethnic compositions and were marked by creolization. Even as colonial control weakened, the imprint of Dutch political, economic, and cultural authority would mark territories around the Atlantic for decades to come. Realm between Empires is a powerful revisionist history of the eighteenth-century Atlantic world and provides a much-needed counterpoint to the more widely known British and French Atlantic histories.
