An editor finds herself waking up in one of her favorite RPGs with no clue as to what's going on or how to get back home. This might be the part where others rejoice over getting whisked away to a world of wizards and magic, but she certainly doesn't think it's anything to celebrate. After all, she woke up in the body of a small-time villain with some severe personality issues.

Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of concrete. He spends his days repairing machinery and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate the small tunnels that are his world—as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he maintains. An escaped lab experiment living in a hole. Given a chance at being someone different, Milo may become a hero. But there are secrets buried in the ground: ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below. Maybe only a tunnel rat can discover them.

In a world where magic is a science, Siobhan is a genius — but even geniuses need schooling. When she stumbles into the theft of a priceless magical book, she thinks her dreams of becoming the world's most powerful sorcerer are destroyed. Then a mysterious spell changes her life forever. Siobhan now inhabits the body of a strange man and has a new identity: Sebastien. With a fresh start, she allies herself with a local gang that is secretly a revolutionary party funding itself through crime. She is bound by vow to repay them in magic and favors. As Sebastien's reputation grows and Siobhan's old enemies still lurk in the shadows, she realizes the secrets of this world run deeper and darker than she imagined. Forced to juggle a double life, she is determined to uncover the truth — and take control of the name they gave her: The Raven Queen.

The System has consumed a thousand worlds. Dean Williams just became its worst mistake. When an otherworldly agent force-activates Dean's magic, he's drafted into the System's machine — a cosmic engine that converts survivors into adventurers and grinds them toward endless violent conquest. But Dean's Activation unlocked something the System didn't account for: power that exceeds its parameters, knowledge of its secrets, and a target on his back from the intelligence running the apocalypse. While other adventurers chase quests and rewards, Dean is building something bigger — a team, a base, and a plan to break the System from the inside out.

When the apocalypse struck, Eric was as shocked as everyone else — but there were no chosen heroes in his version of the end. Just people desperately trying to survive. Hope came in the form of alien vegetative pods: a select few really could level up, embrace magic, and gain limitless power — if the pods didn't turn you into topsoil first. Eric, along with a handful of friends who happened to be rogues long before any System existed, plans to pull off the greatest heist of all time: stealing a priceless fortune right out from under the noses of everyone trying to kill them. All he has to do is outmaneuver a thousand orcs, outfox an army of clever elves, and escape a war-torn city alive.

A new, darker age is dawning. The greed of kings has ignited a seemingly endless war. As men fight, the monsters of the untamed wilds devour the frontier — villages abandoned, fields gone fallow, murderous bandits roaming the desolation. None of that matters to a nameless goblin slave. He just wants to eat as much food as he can shove into his mouth when no one is looking. But fate runs a twisted course, and instead he is whisked away to the far-off Iron Teeth Mountains. To stay alive, he will have to evolve into something more than a simple goblin and carve a bloody path through the forests of the North — if he can first get over his crippling fear of trees, and survive in a place where everything considers him the perfect size for a quick snack.

Kaius just wanted to unlock his class — instead, he restarted the apocalypse. After years of training, Kaius has barely acquired the first two of his family's legacy skills: powerful, vanishingly rare abilities whose method of creation is a secret people would kill for. Narrowly surviving a bandit ambush, he gets trapped in the Great Depths — a world-spanning dungeon. To escape, he must slay one of the Guardians defending the exits, a feat no classless fighter has ever survived. If that weren't bad enough, succeeding will reignite a forgotten trial that nearly ended civilization.

Summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs — he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame, fortune, power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal in scritching distance? Now that's a good time. Unfortunately, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. Fischer is hounded by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and more magical misunderstandings than a preteen relationship. Even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

Meili Strauss enjoyed living in a modern first-world country in her past life. Unfortunately, she's been reborn in a world where pride, aggression, and violence are the three main ways to grow your superpowers. It's been four years since her transmigration, and the best she can do is hide her hatred of this society through an elaborate act. The world of unOrdinary values everything she doesn't have, and the all-powerful Bureau of Authorities — the governing body full of the world's most powerful superhumans — doesn't take cultural dissent kindly. Still, Meili has foreknowledge of this once-fictional universe and all its dangerously powerful characters from her days as an obsessive fan. The question is how long she can stay herself when the world would be so much easier if she didn't.

Cal was awoken in a new world years ago, and his second life has not been a smooth one. Now he's been called upon to complete a covert military assistance mission — except that means being marooned at the heart of the enemy, saddled with a fake identity and a fake family, attending a hybrid magical college-highschool for nobles. Balancing the demands of student life while secretly investigating a plot that could doom the Academy and the city around it is a tall order. Failing a class or two doesn't seem so important when demons might burn everything down. Not everyone agrees with him on that.

Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him—until he enters the dungeon beneath Flutic and receives a demon's dark blessing. Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, he now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and the celestial war burning beneath the city's streets. The dungeon reshapes him with every victory—but at what cost?

A system message appears worldwide: a Quantum Phase Shift has been selected to "increase habitability." Expected survival rate: 1–5%. Troias Drakos awakens to find that the world he knew is gone. Most of Earth's life was killed in an instant, and those who survived have been granted powers that seem almost magical — though the monsters of this new reality are equally powerful, or far more so. Only by uniting and mastering their new abilities will humanity survive. Troias has been given a unique set of powers. If he is to have any chance, he must master them and become a true Spirit Warrior.

Matt is reincarnated as a tree in a fantasy world that serves as the eternal battlefield between demons and the heroes summoned to oppose them.

A slow-burn epic spanning ages, told through frequent time-skips, following one unlikely soul as he grows from passive observer to a power that shapes the fate of an entire world.

A self-insert into the world of Naruto. Ryoma, orphan of the sands, knows full well that he's nothing special as far as ninja go. The smart move would be to run to the other side of the planet and wait for the oncoming apocalypse to pass him by. Running has never been his style.

Summoned to a world in the midst of apocalypse, Daniel Black would have his hands full just staying alive. Add in refugees, desperate soldiers, scheming nobles, and a pair of thoroughly wicked witches, and life gets very busy indeed. Good thing he has magic of his own to even the scales — but will even that be enough?

Odd Thomas is a young fry cook from a small California desert town with an extraordinary ability: he can communicate with the dead. The silent souls who seek him out sometimes want justice, and their tips occasionally help him prevent crimes. But when a stranger arrives in Pico Mundo accompanied by a horde of ominous shades heralding imminent catastrophe, Odd and his soul mate Stormy Llewellyn must race against time to prevent a mass tragedy. His journey takes him across the American West and beyond, facing evil both human and inexplicable, as his destiny slowly reveals itself.

She wanted to be a Necromancer, but awakened as a Saint. Somehow her summoned heroes are all undead. How will the church react when their Saintess summons a skeleton in place of a mighty hero? Sofia isn't too keen on finding out. To many a summoned hero, this world looks oh so familiar — beastmen, dwarves, trolls, dragons, elves, saints, adventurers, dungeons, and maybe an evil demon lord to be vanquished. There are great powers at work beneath the surface. Follow Sofia as she unknowingly gets tangled in power struggles far beyond what she had bargained for.

In a former life, Jack was gifted — a discreet problem-solver for wealthy clients who needed jobs finished cleanly and without a trace. One day he picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack's consciousness into the body of Max Renard, illegitimate son of an executed traitor, now homeless and living on the western outskirts of an unfamiliar kingdom. This new life — his last life — is the one he must lead.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian — just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he's a dishwasher: no powers, no money, and even fewer friends. An encounter with a dying woman changes everything, granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps. But the Exlian are voracious and many, and there's more to Mark's new powers than just leveling up. As the pressure mounts, he realizes the Exlian aren't the only sinister threat lurking within the city.

It doesn't take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps. Keras Selyrian is already well on his way to cutting his name into the annals of legend — he's fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods, and left them defeated in his wake. He's got a sword of unfathomable power, but it's damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he's in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn's most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all. Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started. A light-hearted fantasy adventure taking place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels.
