Emie Mercer was one of several billion people who survived the apocalypse and was introduced to a new reality where magic was commonplace and everyone had access to a system. Unfortunately, the rest of Emie's family wasn't so lucky. As far as world-changing events went, Earth's reintegration into the Atlantis Alliance was remarkably tame — the post-apocalyptic universe mirrored the wildly popular deep-immersion VRMMORPG Atlas Online, allowing those who played to quickly adapt to their new reality.
More than a decade later, Emie manages to create a formation that relies on her Time and Space affinities to return her consciousness to the past. When she arrives nearly four years earlier than expected, she realizes she has a unique opportunity to prepare and train for what is coming. A regression story focused on preparation, growth, and the cost of making herself exceptional — without relying on perfect foreknowledge.

Humanity has forgotten the ancient ways of magic and the occult as mana disappeared from the world over millennia. Once-powerful creatures are now remembered as silly cryptids, and powerful rituals have become superstition. But the universe never stays constant.
Magic begins to return. Mythical creatures crawl out from their hidden lairs, Ouija boards start summoning real demons, and Halloween haunted-house parties turn into genuine horrors. The world slowly descends into chaos.
For Samuel — last remaining member of an infamous wizard family known for their strange deals with Eldritch gods — this is a breath of fresh air.

The exorcist business is about to boom, but whether that is good news for the rest of the world remains to be seen.
Duke is offered $15,000 to paint a mural — with a catch. He must first see what his client wants painted, which means entering a private server: Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, a survival horror full-immersion game where fantasy races clash with technology, giant monsters guard the gates of heaven, and players take the role of battlefield surgeons keeping those behemoths alive.
But this server was not built for the game. It was built by the world's most sadistic minds as a place to bring victims, exploit the game's full-pain and realistic anatomy systems, and push them far beyond any normal breaking point — then bring them back and do it again. Trapped, Duke has one goal: survive, win the game, and become the most ruthless monster in the room.
A dungeon core novel — but with bees. A bee dungeon, if you will.

When Merlin sundered the world to separate the magical from the mundane, he made a small mistake: he copied every mundane body but not their souls. That night, they rose as undead — and the world has never known peace since.
Camelot is now an institution for teaching fine young wixen about magic, and it is not a safe place to learn. Felix has never held a wand or cast a spell — until Paracelsus, the Immortal Alchemist, breaks into his home to tell him he's a wizard. Meanwhile, Erik Morsin, groomed to be the next Duke of Ireland, is a member of the most hated family in King Arthur's nation. Four other students round out a group whose lives will intertwine at Camelot — though only five can bond as a coven.
A mild LitRPG set in a magic school, planned across eight books.
Jane's life was a string of bad luck — unpaid bills, dead-end jobs. When she wakes up in a vast, deadly desert with a glowing system menu in front of her face, she dumps all 630 of her available stat points into Luck. In a system where 10 is the maximum, the laws of probability bend to her will.
But godlike luck has a downside. When a devastating one-in-a-trillion accident eliminates the realm's greatest evil, the terrifying Demon Horde assumes Jane is their new all-powerful queen. Now she must lead a legion of monsters through a game-like System she barely understands, all while hiding the fact that she has no idea what she is doing.
When Emily Smith's life was cut short by a nuclear war, something — or perhaps someone — decided that what happened to her was unjust and gave her another chance. Her new world offers more than a fresh start, though: she faces a choice between vengeance and peace, and she's also a werewolf now.
Her choice, at least to her, was obvious. But its consequences will be far-reaching and profound for the world she now calls home.
In the distant past, there lived Harold — the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, he waged a cataclysmic war against the gods and then took a nap. An incredibly long nap.
He wakes to a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to godhood. Harold has one ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber.
But the cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake. No aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.
When Garrett comes to after a close brush with death, he's in a new world — missing an arm and paralyzed from the waist down. The brutal gang lord whose floor he's crashing on wants him gone, and only a plucky young woman and his own wits stand between him and a cold death in the streets.
Armed with a system that grants experience for exploring this new world, Garrett is determined to survive by any means necessary — even if it means becoming a villain. But the city is far from what it seems. Terrifying creatures lurk around every corner, immune to conventional weapons, and a strange lucid Dream world keeps bleeding into reality.
When it does, Garrett realizes the hostile gangs around him are the least of his worries.
A snarky villain and her heroic nemesis blow themselves up and land on a fantasy world. They find themselves faced with two prospects: learn to cooperate and respect someone they've fought against for years, or be swept away by the powers that be.
Because Pride always comes before the fall.
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.
