An experimental ASI tampered with the universe and unleashed magic into the galaxy. In an effort to save itself, the ASI created the Framework — a system of classes, levels, and extraordinary power — but also a world of rampant monsters, violence, and humanity's darkest urges given free rein. Now it's Earth's turn. Torin Carter should have been a nobody, just another poor soul swallowed by the RPG Apocalypse. Instead, a clerical error and some outside interference gifted him a powerful build not available to ordinary humanity — with one drawback: his species is now mildly demonic, and his class is Dungeon Corsair Captain. He's supposed to be the villain. Torin has never been a quitter. Option two it is.

Lianthorn Belladonna could have been so many things — an artist, a mage, a gardener. Instead, his family sealed his future, trapping him in a life of scheming, poison, and murder. On the cusp of completing his poisonous masterpiece, he makes a choice that changes everything. He flees the gilded cage of their family manor and seeks refuge in a quiet frontier town, where the name Belladonna means nothing. With his family's infamous scarlet-bound recipe book hidden away, he attempts to forget the toxins and discover the simple joy of helping people. Out on the frontier — and in the company of a red-scaled Draconian carpenter with fire powers — 'helping people' will require all his skills, including the alchemy he worked so hard to escape.

The VRMMO Hell's Wonderland Online has been out for years, but so many secrets still exist within the game. Vorpalia joins as a Lesser Drake, hoping to one day become a dragon. Things are going as well as they can for a monster player — until she gains a strange unique skill that has her questioning the very nature of the game itself. Making friends and having her massive ego violently crushed, the young dragon has a long way to go. But what is a dragon girl to do when her favorite game pulls her in for real, while everyone else still thinks it's just a game?

Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games — right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan finds himself recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons, the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. As a bottom-tier cultivator, Logan finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid — a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he's going to survive the grueling academy challenges, he'll need to ace its odd assortment of classes and learn how to turn his unusual form into an asset instead of a liability.

A human dies, a demon wakes up. Strong, fast, immortal, naturally talented in magic, capable of picking up languages with ease — what's not to love? It's hard to enjoy life when nothing causes real enjoyment anymore, and your emotions are dim, distant, and foreign. This is a story about a man turned demon, trying to find a way to keep himself together and maybe, one day, reclaim the humanity he lost.

In a world where cultivation has long been the practice of the powerful, a failed summoning puts the soul of a beloved truck into the body of a potential hero — and the fate of the world must take a backseat. Join Micro as he journeys from dungeon to dungeon, mastering all the skills he can acquire from the Core Cards each dungeon holds. Every road is full of adventures, mysteries, monsters, new friends, and potholes. Will he one day become powerful enough to return to his garage at the end of a long trip?

A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

In the Dark Age of Technology, a dormant bioweapon waits in the shadows of mankind's forgotten past. A sinister ritual threatens to merge this weapon with a soul from a higher dimension and unleash Chaos upon the grimdark 41st millennium. The soul in question is a long-dead average girl from 21st-century Earth with a passion for sci-fi, yanked from her boring afterlife and reincarnated into the body of an eldritch bioweapon on a desolate world. Now she must wrestle with both her monstrous nature and her own identity as the dark undercurrents of a grimdark future close in around her.

The cycle is simple: a Dungeon Core is born, seeks power, accumulates wealth, descends into darkness, and is eventually quelled by adventurers. All cores desire power. This one seems to have it backwards. It has no desire to rule, enslave, or conquer — it wants to start a corporation. When money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core on its journey to earn fat stacks while going to absurd lengths to avoid being evil.

A chimera slowly regains memories of its past life as a human in a nonmagical world. He is in part James Borland — temp office worker on the verge of going permanent — but he is also a savage beast that grows stronger by consuming the flesh of other creatures. The more he remembers, the greater the influence his old human persona has on his actions, often clashing with the beast's instinct to consume prey and become stronger.

A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and, through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, ends up in a fantasy world full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hard-ish sci-fi meets hard-ish magic in a rational, character-driven story that explores dark themes — including slavery, speciesism, and questions of identity and consciousness — while remaining darkly funny and occasionally absurd.

It was just supposed to be a quick trip to the pet store, but the universe had other plans for Florence Valentine. After being killed by a delivery truck, she finds herself reborn not as an angel in heaven but as a dungeon core — whatever that is. Now people keep coming into her new home, wrecking stuff, and stealing from her. But Florence can decorate her home with a thought, and she can create the best things in the universe: kitty-cats. Should these hooligans keep insisting on coming in, Florence and her kitties are going to have something to say about that.

Ever been a god? The protagonist was — until death and a divine tribunal sent him packing. Apparently the other gods took issue with his faith being the only true one, and the Apocalypse (admittedly his fault, if unintentional) did not help his case. Now condemned to a "vacation" as punishment, he must navigate existence in a new form in a world far removed from his former divine station.

Waking up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about would be bad enough. Doing it with only one chance to get things right makes it worse. The dungeon's new controller must figure out how to manage his growing domain while grappling with a disturbing power: his dungeon acquires minions by transforming sapient beings, leaving them mentally bound to his will. He does his best not to abuse that power — but the story explores what it means for both him and those who find themselves changed, in mind and body, by their new place in his dungeon.

Struck down in battle, a Hero and a Demon King meet their end at the same moment. As their souls linger on the edge of the afterlife, a mysterious force intervenes — merging their fragmented souls into a new being: Rusty, a living suit of armor. Affected by the memories and presence of both predecessors, Rusty embarks on his own quest. Will he seek revenge for the Hero's betrayal, fulfill the fallen Demon King's desires, or forge an entirely new path?

Susan Hill is your typical science-obsessed high schooler — until she is kidnapped to another world and transformed beyond recognition in a madman's scheme for power. Breaking free, she returns home, only to discover her old world is far more magical than she ever remembered. How will a girl turned dragon navigate a world of arrogant vampires, megalomaniacal mice, and a few too many magical girls?

The world is a wide, wide place — and that's without taking into account the many creatures that inhabit it. When a new Dungeon Core is born deep below the surface, it faces challenge after challenge in a world that is anything but welcoming. The only question is whether it is up to the challenge of surviving.

Ever been a god? Well, the protagonist was — until he died and got judged by the other gods. Apparently they didn't like the whole "my faith is the only true one" idea. And for the record: the Apocalypse wasn't intentional. For punishment, he gets sent on what he hopes is a vacation. A rewrite of the original story, featuring improved grammar, filled plot holes, and a lighter comedic tone following a fallen deity navigating a new existence.

At the end of everything, the Final Reaper won — but it was a hollow victory. Having killed everyone who wronged him or his people, he was left utterly alone. When Order's Voice offered a chance to reset the multiverse to an earlier time in exchange for most of his power, the choice was easy: start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. Landing in his old body, the Final Reaper becomes Thomas again — and chooses a new name for a new life: Serenity. He has ten years from the moment the Voice arrives to prevent Earth from losing the second round, as it did before. It will require a group effort, which is difficult for someone who has been alone for longer than he can reckon. A system apocalypse story designed so that a large percentage of humanity can survive and prosper — if they work together.

Follow the story of Tianlian Liu Shu, a tree who starts knowing nothing and struggles to survive and extend her roots through the cosmos. The world she lives in is filled with fantastic sights and strange new cultures — and everyone in it has a system, even her. Despite being a tree, she finds herself with a group of women who fawn over her every branch and leaf. Tianlian Liu Shu, a female tree, isn't quite sure what to do with all of them.
