A disillusioned gamer found himself on an unfamiliar path with no memory of how he arrived. After a disorienting encounter, he emerged inside one of the most brutal science-fiction universes ever conceived — the Imperium of Man, set in the grim darkness of the far future where there is only war. With this new identity came world-shattering secrets he had not asked to inherit.

Real Fantasy Online is the flagship product for the latest generation of neural-interface headsets, promising total immersion and the best NPC AIs ever created. But when the line between one's real self and one's digital identity becomes blurred, and the gods have their own agenda, who is the player and which is the game? Marcus has played any number of VR games and beta-tested dangerous systems. He usually disdains pre-order perks, but this time the bonus — the ability to craft your character's backstory and have it integrated into the game's lore — is too tempting to pass up. He opts to make a character purely for fun, with no interest in being all-powerful. Things aren't quite what they seem, however, and his backstory and character class have implications he never would have imagined.

In 2150, robotics scientist Regan Earle inadvertently caused a global robot uprising. For decades, he kept humanity hostage from the top of a tower, broadcasting his location as a deterrent. Until one day, his last creation finally came for him. Instead of death, Regan received a second chance — reincarnated in another world. As a dungeon core. With all his memories intact. The world of Murgin has no idea what's coming.

"Starbreaker, thrice named. Starbreaker, awake." Sylvas Vail is the most powerful mage on his planet — a big fish in a small pond. When the doors to the cosmos come crashing open and all the untold wonders and terrors of the universe pour in, he is left with only two choices: ascend or die. A dark prophecy foretells his rise, and the path ahead is written in blood.

The world ended. The Apocalypse opened the gates of Hell, demons killed everyone — including me. But I got a second chance at life. As an apple. Which was eaten by a starving survivor, not that I fault them. But to toss my half-eaten core into a landfill? Then an earthquake buried the landfill a mile underground. No sunlight, no water, and I'm pretty sure the apple I was reincarnated into was a GMO hybrid with no real chance of germinating. Then: **DING** — SYSTEM INITIATION!

Every century, the MALswarm invades — adaptive aliens of blood and steel led by Titans that decimate billions and leave behind raw Warp Energy. Humanity seizes this power, transforming into beings of mutated flesh and cybernetic might. Yet the promised utopia remains a lie, and New California's underworld schemes to profit from the impending Fifth Swarm. Two destinies collide amidst the chaos. Ripley — a cybernetics savant battling to save his dying mother — operates in the shadows of a gang-owned nightclub. Diana, engineered for perfection, fights as an officer of the law to forget her past. When a monster is unleashed, they steal its infinite potential to warp their futures. In a city where salvation and damnation are inseparable, Ripley reinvents himself from the wreckage of his enemies' cybernetics as a mercenary, while Diana's mutated blood crackles with lightning as she purges corruption. Against a grand conspiracy of aliens, rogue AIs, shady corporations, and organized crime, their alliance — and conflict — determines if the world will plunge into darkness or embrace the light.

Scott and his little sister Alice are stranded alone on a forest planet, struggling to survive in primitive conditions using only the training he gained studying to be an explorer — building a home with nothing but their wits and what they can find in the wild. What's worse, a huge, menacing spider-creature seems to be following them wherever they go. From the spider's perspective, she has crash-landed on a primitive world and found two odd mammalian tool-users. Perhaps they hold the secret to her survival. For now, she will observe — and maybe protect — these two strange creatures as she tries to understand their ways.

He saved humanity. The same humanity that had betrayed him. Then he was an outcast again. Now, years later, he doesn't expect gratitude and doesn't offer forgiveness — he just doesn't need anyone anymore. Memory is his voice, rage is his fuel, and an army of steel is his weapon. Reborn into a new world and a new body, the Drone Lord decides his own fate — not gods, not people, not anybody except himself.

Potential is everything within the Vitrian Empire — and a provincial orphan boy is about to prove he has more of it than anyone. Found in the ruins of the Old City, the orphan Alarion is taken in by Assessor Elena, who bends the rule of law to adopt him into the House of Hunger. To earn his place, he must learn the ways of his new House, endure a grueling training regime, and battle deadly fiends — all while scraping together enough strength before those who hate what he represents finally close in. After all, potential unrealized is no power at all.

In the year 2057, the world has become a corporate-run utopia for the super-rich and a hellhole for everyone else. Catherine 'Cat' Leblanc is an orphan about as far from super-rich as one can be. When the Incursion alarms start blaring and the sky starts raining hungry xenos, it's just another blemish on an already bad afternoon. A cyberpunk magical-girl alien-invasion LitRPG — exactly as wild as it sounds.

The Intergalactic Imperium invoked their right of Eminent Domain to appropriate Earth for a highway — and the planet burned. Cedrick Jonkheer, left with nothing but a sarcastic AI and some superpowers, watched his world end and hid himself at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. "Etherforging," his AI called it: taking the same power that destroyed the world and making it his own. Advance. Grow stronger. Forge himself into someone who could survive a mad universe.

In the far future, humanity has expanded into the stars. In the Collective, energy is limitless, communication is nearly instantaneous, and even death has been vanquished — Citizens are reborn after each death. Benning Kidd is a Drone, the lowest class of humanity, existing without memory, purpose, or self-awareness. An accident changes everything, and Benning becomes the first Drone in history to become a Citizen. Uniquely talented and unscrupulously driven, she chooses a path of battle and glory. But her existence is a threat to those in power, and forces move against her from the moment she steps out of the respawn chamber. Her only chance of survival is to be stronger, smarter, and more cunning than those who stand in her way.

When humanity first ventured into space, they discovered the Galactic Commonwealth — an ancient and powerful alliance that barely noticed them. One species, the arboreal Eleani, took an active interest in humanity, offering guidance and friendship as they watched their younger cousin-kin earn their place among the stars. Decades later, the Insectoid Empire launched a devastating new campaign against the Commonwealth — a spacefaring hive-mind of wasp analogues that did not stop after seizing border planets as before. They killed over a hundred billion souls across dozens of worlds, destroyed half the Commonwealth Navy, and swept through the undefended periphery toward the Eleani homeworld. As extinction loomed and the Commonwealth government declined to help, the Eleani broadcast pleas to anyone who would listen. The Republic of Humanity answered the call.

Burton was a good man — if gullible — until his superhero girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, also a superhero, and his entire family took her side. In a fit of suicidal rage, something changed: he became a Wisher, smarter and sharper than before, yet fundamentally still himself. Now he lives as a vigilante — not an official hero but a rogue man of the night who beats up bad guys and has a talking dog and cat for company. He is a cynic, a loner, and a sadistic hermit with no love to give. That is about to change, and so is his pain.

Everyone is obsessed with Neon Dragons — the latest highly immersive cyberpunk aRPG from Sparksoft. But when our late-twenties protagonist's PC broke days before the game's release, all she could do was watch content creators play through it, limiting her knowledge to what she saw in those playthroughs. Things change drastically when she wakes up inside the body of a 15-year-old girl inside the city of Neo Avalis, six years into the game's past. She can level herself just like a character in the game, and with everything she's read and watched about Neon Dragons, she sets her sights on solving the mystery of the enigmatic Wall at the edge of the play-area. But she quickly realizes that this game is very real — life in a cyberpunk future is full of danger and intrigue, and the world has some surprising differences from the game she watched.

Threedak is a simple Dhajtel. Every night she scavenges and hunts for her tribe in the great desert, relying on skill and ancestral memories to avoid the darkness's many dangers. Her life remains largely the same until one night, one of the gleaming lights in the sky falls into her desert. Deciding to investigate, she happens upon a scene far beyond her limited understanding. The Dhajtel aren't alone. The galaxy is far vaster and more hostile than her people can even begin to comprehend. Entrusted with the knowledge and memories of a dead race, it will be up to Threedak to forge Dhajtel society into something that can survive the storm to come.

After a short-sighted endeavor to quietly make some money, Maxis Troy finds himself a target of the Brotherhood of Cain — a violent gang led by a man renowned worldwide as the Grim Reaper.

On the first day, a mist descended from the heavens blanketing the earth. On the second day, a cryptic message — "Infusion commencing" — appeared in the corner of everyone's eyes.

Unable to fight the seemingly indestructible beasts, survivors cowered in reinforced shelters — until a few brave souls discovered how to use the Tec to level up. Together they represent humanity's last best hope. But their journey will require them to adapt to alien technology, operate strange spaceships, and befriend an extra-terrestrial merchant with an inferiority complex.

Do not kill. That's the first rule of being a superhero — and it's the first one she broke. Vivian gained a superpower that allows her to telekinetically apply ten pounds of force. Weak.

Now, pitted against villains, shady corporations, college debt, and the government's brutal hero program, she has to find a way to become the hero she has always wished she could be — a hero who could have saved her.
