Joseph Sullivan is at an all-time low: lost his job, fiancée dumped him, moved back to his parents' basement. Then the System arrives and Earth becomes a playing field in a contest among the gods. Provided the ideal stat array for a physical combat class, the choice is obvious — until Joe fat-thumbs the selection screen and ends up with Spellcaster. His starting Intelligence stat: 1. With a useless class and only his raw strength to back him up, Joe decides class optimization is for dummies. He pumps every stat point into Strength and sets out to win the whole damned thing. A real wizard should be measured by how much he can bench.

Divorced and working as a security guard in Portland, 73-year-old Carl is attacked by an unknown creature before managing to taser it to death.

And can he turn around his poor financial situation after his wife took half his pension just before retirement? A LitRPG slice-of-life following Carl as he discovers new ways of living life when he's nearing the end of his own.

What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it? The people of Earth are about to find out, and it's not going to be pretty. The moment the barrier keeping supernatural powers out collapsed, only the System's intervention held the world together. Mia is one of those tiny people on the floating rocks in the void — and she has much bigger problems, like goblins trying to eat her. It's not all bad: she may have monsters trying to eat her and disturbingly pointy ears, but she seems to have a real talent for magic.

The emergence of monsters and superhumans hasn't disrupted the modern era — people have adapted. Among them is Casper Clay, a man who long ago awakened to a gift that seemed more like a curse, until it opens a different path. Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Casper heads down a road that could lead to prosperity just as easily as it could lead to an untimely end.

Seven years ago, the Frozen Flame brought magic to Earth — but not to Dalton, who received only scars. Now a lonely shut-in known as "Ezzen," he's resigned himself to an online life of secondhand magic and fanboying over the superhuman Vaetna. When fate splinters and magic finally finds him, it's the best day of his life — and the worst. He suddenly becomes a resource in a cold war over magical power, hunted by paramilitary organizations and Flame-worshipping cults alike. Worse, the reality of being a flamebearer is nothing like the apotheosis he dreamed of: it is cruel and twisted, the bloody path of monsters.

When alien beings address all of humanity, they deliver a warning: forces that destroyed their species' males are heading for Earth. In exchange for access to the System, they ask only for cooperation and survival. Mathew Alexander Dunphy knows it's all a lie. He saw the truth with his own eyes. Nobody believes him. They call him mad. In a world of alien-controlled survival games, Mathew fights back with mad-scientist ingenuity, crafting-based powers, and a stubborn refusal to let either the aliens or the apocalypse win.

After four years working as a magical girl, Adah is a certified nobody. In a system where popularity equals power, she's unknown and underleveled — all she has is one pea-shooter spell and a pig mascot who talks too much for his own good. That changes when her public meltdown goes viral. Rebranding as the dark magical girl Twilight Heartbreak, her popularity skyrockets, bringing new spells, new fans, and new threats. Thrust into the spotlight, she finds herself on the front lines of a war against soul-reaping monsters and inside a cutthroat industry full of personalities that might be even more dangerous. Can Adah extend her fifteen minutes of fame when everything — and everyone — around her is trying to cut it short?

The stronger his opponent, the harder Nil hits. Saving an innocent from a drug-crazed superhuman should have left him broken — instead it wins the Nexus's attention and an opportunity to make a difference. Nil is done feeling small and watching his family scrape by. Apocalypse Arena holds the key: a multiverse-spanning battleground where champions fight to keep the Scourge at bay. Pain, death, and heartbreak await all who run the gauntlets — but Nil has what it takes to grapple his way to the top. The multiverse is watching. He'll give them a show.

Matt Callaghan is in trouble. In a world where everyone has superpowers, he's got none, and has spent five years faking clairvoyance to avoid getting caught.

In a world where everyone is powerful, Jane stands alone and apart, hated for her ability to copy abilities and atrocities far beyond her control. A chance encounter sends her hurtling toward her lifelong dream — or a violent, painful death. Unbeknownst to both, their paths are intertwined, and an unseen force draws them toward a secret whose existence threatens not just their lives, but the fate of the entire world.

About four weeks ago the world simply turned. One day: iPhones, Mickey Mouse, hamburgers. The next: magic and monsters. And humans became players — with levels, items, and classes. Pretty ironic considering how many times parents told their kids to quit gaming and experience real life. Then real life grabbed everyone by the throat, and it was the gamers who were prepared. A story about a guy, his best friend, a loyal golden retriever, a little girl, and her beloved cat — plus copious amounts of gore, legendary weapons, and a lich king who needed slaying.

A failed sci-fi writer and gamer, Oliver was a normal guy until the night a beautiful psychic shifter named Grace appeared on his doorstep — and a second superpowered woman showed up to kill them both.

It's the end of the world, and all Dave wanted was to eat his eggs in peace. Thanks to a talking bird, he's been transported to another universe with only a few years to either grow powerful enough on his own to save his home, or find someone who can help him do it. With new friends by his side, Dave pushes against a System that keeps nudging him toward dangerous experiments, working to understand the rules of his new world before time runs out.

The world didn't end with fire or ice. It ended with a rain of blood and a bureaucratic apology memo from the rest of the galaxy. Enzo had always been a daredevil — snowboarder, rock climber, martial artist, skydiver — until an accident put him on a quieter path crafting bespoke jewelry. Then came the rain. With it came evidence that humanity wasn't alone, and that magic was very real. The dead now rise as Eaters: magically evolving, mana-sucking undead with a taste for hearts and brains. Enzo's only guide is a cryptic Universal Training Guide that refuses to answer questions until you're already figuring things out for yourself. He'll master spells, craft magical equipment, protect the people he loves — and eventually find the people responsible for that apology memo.

Anya Nowicki, along with thousands of people around the globe, has found herself a host for alien technology known as the Archive. The Archive allows its hosts to alter their minds and bodies in an instant through holographic menu systems — granting super strength, magical abilities, or mastery in an almost infinite number of skills. However, Anya has also become the target for nightmarish shape-shifting creatures that came to Earth following the extraterrestrial tech. The Archive can grant great power, but it may not be enough to survive the horde of murderous aliens hunting them down.

Mark Careed has dreamed of being a hero since he was eight years old — fighting monsters outside the city walls, going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, standing shoulder to shoulder with the real heroes against kaijus.

But his hopes collapse when the False Tutorial estimates his future Power as a brawny — simply a stronger human, the fate of 90% of humanity. Mark refuses to accept it.

A story of exploration, slice of life, kaijus, magic, other worlds, trauma, and growth.

Every day is the same for Joseph — study, class, repeat — until monsters spawn across his college campus and beyond. Goblins, ghouls, kobolds, and mythical creatures pour into the world with shocking carnage. If Joseph is going to survive the RPG apocalypse, he needs to figure out the new rules fast. And is it wrong to feel so alive when so many others have died?

Tom's baby-momma died, and now her past is coming back to bite him. He's broke, the cops are out to get him, the babysitter is pure evil, and he has a limited time to dig himself out before her world collides with his own.

The gods are real and incorporated. Providence is a profitable global monopoly — but its chief executive is a corrupt authoritarian, the combined might of the divine powers ignores humanity's problems, and Helpdesk service is, frankly, terrible. In this corporate fantasy, it's up to history's most maligned immortals to step up and sort things out.
