This is a huge collection of 10 stories (150,200 words), and some of the stories are quite long with many chapters. So, I suggest you listen to them one at a time. Most of these stories are pure fiction but some like “Bangkok and the Vampires of the Night” are actual real experiences.

We have a mission: to save the Universal Magic. To do so, I need to locate three other Creation Mages.

The Inferno is the first part of The Divine Comedy, Dante’s epic poem describing man's progress from hell to paradise. In it, the author is lost in dark woods, threatened by wild beasts and unable to find the right path to salvation. Notable for its nine circles of hell, the poem vividly illustrates the poetic justice of punishments faced by earthly sinners. The Inferno is perhaps the most popular of the three books of The Divine Comedy, which is widely considered the preeminent work in Italian literature.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood began as a group of painters, including Dante Gabriel Rossetti and William Holman Hunt, who wished to reject the stern and academic strictures of current painting and return to the simpler and more uncomplicated days before the Italian High Renaissance and the days of Raphael. The movement was short lived but very influential and, as well, was taken up by a number of different arts.

I guess you could call my latest job interview a success. I got hired, and it's way beyond my wildest dreams. The pay isn't great. And the hours are pretty much 24/7. But there's magic. And a portal to a fantasy world. Those kind of outweigh the negatives. At first, I thought I was just testing the latest VR survival RPG, but I'm starting to think this might not be a game after all. The monsters are definitely life-like and capable of carving me apart on their worst days. But on their best days, I make them mine.

The enigmatic and likely certifiably crazy Igor Chaosbane has drawn runes into my frat house’s dungeon. Now that’s out of the way, we can really get to training for the War Mage Games.

I'm Justin Mauler, student of Mazirian Academy, Creation Mage, and now the new owner of a poltergeist named Barry Chillgrave. Who'd have expected having a deceased buccaneer as your resident dungeon-running poltergeist would lead to trouble? Yeah, it's pretty much a given. And now I’ve discovered that my spell list might be limited. Which means only one thing: I have to find a way to break that limit.

When Mark wakes up in a hospital bed beside a beautiful blonde nurse, he’s a little confused. When a dragon-man crashes into the room and threatens to kill them, he’s downright befuddled. When Mark turns the aforementioned blonde nurse into a dragon, he starts to understand. Mark isn’t in Chicago anymore. He’s in a fantasy world ruled by powerful dragon beings. Good thing he has the ability to turn women into dragons. And that’s only the beginning.

This time, I'll be going not as a powerless thief, but as a submage of the Jade Bastion bonded to a small army of beautiful mages.
