Unfathomable Power for the Low, Low Price of Someone Else's Soul

RaReason

C59/100
Colm Avery is a warlock — you know, the "sell your soul for unlimited power" kind. Except he never sells his own soul. Instead he trades the souls of murderers, those already destined for hell, in exchange for hellish gifts. It's hard work, and after six years of 18-hour days he finally has a windfall that lets him take a vacation. A cruise, specifically. Unfortunately, disaster after disaster strikes: food poisoning, bad weather, and pirates. Colm will have to use his magic and his gifts to survive — and to unravel the plot behind all these seemingly unrelated catastrophes. This cruise to Hawaii turned out to be more than he bargained for.

A visit to London's Natural History Museum became a horror show when magic flooded Earth. Now Thomas is entombed there as a Dungeon Core, with only the creatures on display available as minions.

kayday

All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.
