Jade has spent her life fighting boredom in the terminally ill ward — surfing the net and reading, always envying the ability of others to go out and experience the world. She knew a normal life was far beyond her reach. Then she wakes up one morning without the sounds of her life support, opens her eyes, and finds herself with a weak but healthy body in a magical world. As game-like system notifications fill her vision, she knows she'll have to adapt quickly to survive. This is Andara — where her true adventure finally begins.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills — turning concepts from fiction into fact. For some, it feels like living out a dream. For Daniel, it's closer to a nightmare. Cracks in the dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons, and discovers there's only one way out: kill or be killed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Thrust into a dangerous new fantasy world, Will's life becomes a war for survival. He has nothing more than a class called "Soldier" and a strange leveling system he's never seen before. When he stumbles across a dying stranger, a mysterious questline activates, sending him to the front lines where humanity wages war against a ruthless Goblin Horde. There he joins the standing Kadian Army and must forge his name from the fires of legend — facing goblins, hordes of undead, cultists, and demons while climbing through the military ranks.

Colonel James Raytak is about to die. The 93-year-old combat veteran is living his last days in a nursing home; his only hope for survival is an experimental Medpod life support system controlled by an artificial intelligence. Co-developed by the world's largest gaming company, the AI will also run the soon-to-be-released game Limitless Lands. Without its creator's knowledge, the AI decides the best course of treatment is to import its patient's consciousness directly into the game. Colonel Raytak must dust off his military training and lead his virtual troops in a fight to repair his broken body and mind while exploring the Limitless Lands.

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.

Emotions are fuel. Happiness is ammo. Sam just wants to be a good person — which is why she uses her ability to see the unseen world of werewolves and vampires for good. Mainly, she hugs ghosts to death. But when shapeshifting aliens kill her cat, all the hugs and pleasantries in the world won't get her back. Becoming a magical girl will. Nobody said it was going to be easy. Even equipped with magic, guns, and extra limbs, she is woefully unprepared when an entire alien invasion descends on her hometown.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It takes more than just talent to reach the heavens — more than an accident of birth or a flash of fortune. It is a long, arduous journey that comes with many costs. When you're an orphan street rat with no money, no family, and nothing but hunger and death in your future, you don't question miracles. Calvin certainly didn't question his. A miraculous artifact offering guidance, purpose, and treasures beyond mortal comprehension has arrived, and suddenly his future doesn't seem quite so dark anymore. A gradual xianxia cultivation story with a clearly defined power system, sects, martial arts, and an expansive original setting drawing on more than just typical xianxia influences.

Morgan grows up on the streets of City Four, constantly shunned by other citizens and beaten by city guards because of his friendship with the city lord's only daughter. The lord wants him dead, and Morgan is nearing his sixteenth birthday with no awakened abilities in a world where might makes right. Faced with a life-altering decision, Morgan must find his own path in a world where power is everything — and where his choices will impact everyone around him.

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.

Ellen is a young adventurer with a unique problem: she duplicates every time she dies. And she dies a lot. All she wanted was to follow in her legendary grandfather's footsteps and become the greatest adventurer who ever lived. Instead she has to dodge government tax audits, endure unrelenting System notification spam, and wrangle a dungeon core bent on making her life as miserable as possible. But if she can just learn to work with herself — all of herself — it'll be fine. Probably.
