Hiral is the Everfail, the weakest person on the flying island of Fallen Reach. He trains harder than any warrior and studies longer than any scholar, but all his people channel magic through sun-powered tattoos — and despite enormous energy within, Hiral alone cannot. In a moment of danger, he unlocks an achievement granting him access to a dungeon — his first and maybe last chance at real power. All dungeons lie in the wilderness below the flying islands, places of secrets and dangers that no one has survived. New powers await, but so do new challenges. If he survives, he could forge his own path to power. If he fails, death will be the least of his problems.

The Earth is changing. Aliens invaded, bringing with them social upheaval, advanced technology, and an armada of peacekeeping robots. But Alan, a college student pursuing a now-useless degree, cares little about all of this — he has only one thing on his mind: the Game. A fully immersive virtual reality, the Game appears to be a major part of the invading civilization. Soon, Alan realizes the Game is anything but simple, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined.

When a universe was born, seven primordial Concepts acquired an ego. Omniscient and omnipotent, they have since plundered other universes, capturing young civilizations to enrich their own. Many monsters, gods, and races compete for the eighth throne — and now it is Earth's turn. Humanity begins its integration through a deadly Tutorial. Priam has the luck and misfortune to finish it first: his reward is a form of pseudo-immortality, but as his civilization's champion he is transported to Elysium, the most dangerous world the Concepts have created. Nine out of ten champions die there on their first day. Fortunately for Priam, he has many lives.

Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste. When his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter those expectations. Exploring strange realms full of danger, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and treasures stolen from advanced civilizations. But mastering alchemy, outmaneuvering scheming Great Houses, and surviving invading gods will test whether a so-called waste can truly reach the stars.

Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and scorned as a waste. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations. Exploring strange realms, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. The elixirs he needs to advance require mastering alchemy himself — and the Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods will do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

The Questing Stones have come to Nowherested, and Evelia Greene is finally ready to receive her life's quest. Perhaps she'll be a great warrior, a wealthy merchant, or a brilliant mage. Or perhaps the Questing Stones will grant her the Legendary mission of popping over to the next village to pick up a loaf of bread. Eve can't guess how a level 1 Messenger Girl is supposed to complete anything labeled Legendary, but one way or another — through wolves, goblins, and spontaneously combusting bakeries — she is going to get that gods-damned bread. There just might be a few Side Quests along the way.

Even after the bombs fell, even after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagination on one another, even after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the narrator is uniquely suited to deliver it. Radiation does not bother him, and those who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. A Fallout-inspired apocalyptic story about a courier braving an irradiated wasteland, featuring a weird-west vibe, gunfights, radiation mutants, and a detailed progression system.

For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few — which was a problem, because his profession of Skill Trainer was perfectly legal but deeply frowned upon. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring, according to every Guild with enough money and clout to complain. Still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and Joshua has managed to keep his research and training practice quietly under the table, aided by many a bribe. But his quiet, anonymous life is about to change — when the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

Telos is a world at the center of the Universe — a bright jewel wrapped in a lattice of realities, home to gods and demons at the beginning of a new age. Remy is a newly risen deity struggling to survive in a Battle Royale where the consequences are worse than death and last longer than damnation. He cannot live without his tribe of worshipers — their strength is his, and his is theirs. Other tribes want nothing more than to feast on their flesh and consume their power. Gods of ancient pantheons and demons of forbidden nightmares compete in a timeless game where the stakes are the souls of every living being.

Sael the Great helped defeat the Corrupted One four hundred years ago, ushering in the longest era of peace the world has ever known. Since then, most of his companions have died, the world moved on, and Sael retreated to a cloud in the sky — thought dead by all but a few, fading into legend. Until a young woman named Ilsa, a descendant of one of his earliest companions, comes looking for him. Whispers from the West speak of settlements vanishing overnight, swallowed by a creeping entity that even the mages cannot explain. The stories sound familiar — echoes of an evil Sael thought gone forever. To investigate, he'll need to traverse lands that have forgotten his face, dodge the cults that formed around his legend, and perhaps train a student or two — remembering that life has much more to offer than smoking on a cloud and longing.

Hong Fei was once a promising soldier. Now his cultivation is crippled, and he limps toward his last hope: a quiet position in the household of Duke Yu, an old family ally living in exile. All he seeks is a place to fade into obscurity with dignity. But fate has other plans. Two mysterious cards fall into his possession — one summons a giant badger spirit beast, the other heals what everyone said couldn't be healed. When he finally reaches the Yu household, he finds not refuge but a family under siege: the duke is dying, the duchess hides her own illness, and rival nobles circle like wolves. Hong Fei wanted to disappear. Instead, he must become the shield between a falling house and those who would devour it — while behind the political schemes and assassination attempts, someone is stealing fate itself.

Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

Morgan Mackenzie had a very bad day. First at work, then at home — and then her bathtub fell through a portal to another world, with her in it. Now she's stranded thousands of miles from any sort of civilization with nothing but the bathtub and a lace puffball scrubby. But she learned magic, so that's sort of nice. Now if only she could find some clothes. This is a bigger story than just one main character fighting the monster of the week — multiple characters and perspectives populate a fully realized world.

Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. Su Fang arrives completely unprepared, knowing nothing and lacking any skills — destined, by all accounts, to die. Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies. His System returns him to the start of his journey after each death, rewarding credits he can spend on anything — but only enough to return him to the point where he fell. To advance further, he must rely on himself alone. A story that is equal parts time loop and xianxia, with a focus on cultivating the self as much as cultivating power. Not about saving the world — about living life in an unfamiliar place where everyone seems to want you dead or enslaved.

When Earth evolves past a threshold few even knew existed, humanity is whisked away by the Grand System to an educational Tutorial. Arthur Ward is left behind, bleeding out on a sidewalk. Animals have become deadly monsters, dimensional incursions are a constant threat, and Arthur is forced to adapt or die. Missing the Tutorial was supposed to be a death sentence — but with new rules to live by and a path to redemption before him, it may be the best thing that ever happened to him. After all, nothing is quite impossible when you can rewrite reality itself.

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved. After being vaporized in the line of duty, Francis is transported to a new world full of gods and magic. Too bad Hades is trying to kill him for declining a job offer and the System holds a grudge for what happened during character creation. At least his new patron deity seems nice. Armed with nothing but his lucky pink booty shorts, a pair of matching flip flops, and nineteen years of Marine Corps experience, Francis must find a way home to his fellow grunts — or be listed as KIA forever.

Cassie is about to have her dream retirement, joining her favorite game world, Biprism Realm — a place of magic, portals, pocket realms, towers to eternity, monsters, and steampunk elements. Rather than banking on possible restarts, she sells everything she has for the best possible starting position imaginable. Unlike those who tried before her, Cassie has a plan.

Walter Tye is the best friend any adventurer needs — the smiling shopkeeper next to your local dungeon, selling cheap healing potions and sharing monster intel. You can trust him. He is also the undead necromancer ruling that very dungeon, getting paid to solve problems he caused in the first place. But don't tell anyone that.

Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world by the vain, self-styled god Dolos, who refuses to send them back unless they complete an impossible task — and who oddly doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, the two studied Historical European Martial Arts on Earth. But a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with only magic-granting orbs from an apathetic god, they begin their insane adventure — though basic survival and paying rent will have to take priority.

Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger. An outcast in his town, considered an unholy omen, Shiv has spent years fruitlessly hunting monsters on his own — the System seems to spurn him and the authorities refuse to grant him a Path. When his town is attacked and Shiv is murdered in combat, he finds himself bestowed with a Unique Path possessed by no one else: the Path of the Deathless. Resurrecting upon death, he is cast into the Abyss. In that dark and wondrous place, he is finally free to chart his own destiny — if he can survive its countless dangers. In a world that stands against him, death is not the end. For Shiv, it's just another source of power.
