When Earth is integrated into the Multiverse, humanity gains stats, skills, and magic — but only a select few are granted System Cores, becoming Core-bearers with a clear path to power. Cade Whitehollow, a burned-out, indebted postdoc who has just been fired, is not one of them. Thrown into a lethal Tutorial designed for Core-bearers, Cade must survive the brutal grind of becoming eligible to forge a Core of his own while others level, cast spells, and surge ahead. Monsters evolve. Humans turn on each other. And buried somewhere in the chaos of the Tutorial is an ancient path to power — one even the System cannot control.

When Henry Tsien is given the opportunity to make a wish, he chooses one that changes his life forever — landing him as a newly created, low-leveled Mage in a hidden supernatural world full of secrets and dangers. With a game-like interface granting him powers drawn from pop-culture assumptions, Henry must survive, level up, and pay his rent while navigating shadowy organizations and forging unexpected alliances.

Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.

Not everyone is pleased to see someone like Anthony with these new powers, and some are willing to commit murder to stop him from using them.

Ashton was dragged away and forced into subservience when the System invaded, made to handle all the little tasks a terrible creature couldn't be bothered with. When that world fell to the Apocalypse, Ashton returned home to just moments after he left — but he couldn't escape. The System followed him. As Earth closes in on its end, Ashton, armed with nothing but the knowledge forced upon him, becomes a Summoner. Elementals, spirits, fairies, even demons — he will call them to his side, defeat the monsters swarming Earth, and put the Council responsible for bringing the System in its place. Most importantly, he intends to save humanity in the process.

When zombies roam the streets and even the squirrels are out for blood, real life turns out to be a lot harder than any game.

Alex Lowe is the only living Werewolf Mage — a distinction that makes him a target. Psychotic mages, vampires, and rival packs all want him dead, captured, or worse, while he struggles to write his own spells without killing himself and hold werewolf alliances together against a campaign of extermination.

Working overnight tech support, James Lyle discovers a stairwell in his office building that contains not stairs but a seemingly infinite landscape of supernatural cubicles.

In a realm that lets them level up in fax machine repair and pay the rent with dungeon loot, the adversaries are quickly becoming dangerous. And whatever James is uncovering in the office dungeon may not stop at the entrance.

The awakening turns animals into beasts, grants humans skills and powers, and sets off a chain of events that will allow Earth to adapt and grow — or fail and die. Separated from his family, Reid must fight to survive in the new world. He is an outlier in more ways than one, saddled with an initially less-than-helpful system shackle. His unlikely journey will neither be simple nor easy as he reaches for power and freedom while struggling with forces far beyond himself.

Maestro Shouri leads an aimless life, loathing the unequal status quo of his world. Three chance encounters threaten to shake his heart to the core: Taika, a lunar Resonator despised for her elemental affinity; Pacifica, a water Resonator seeking her own identity; and Rebecca, a fire Resonator who has known only the life of a trophy. The bond between Maestro and Resonator is not to be underestimated. Shouri must unlock their potentials in tandem — before corruption can bring chaos to his world, and before the forces defending that status quo can stop them.

Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast. Dungeons popped up in shopping malls and airports. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new kind of gold rush. Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his chainsaw-toting brother Joe are going west to try their hand at monster killing. The loot from low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn't the real reason they risked the Infested Zone — they need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in ten thousand hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland.

The Wastes do not create heroes. They create survivors. Cale Arcanus vanished ten years ago when a transport was lost beyond the borders of civilization. Presumed dead, his name became a footnote in a tragedy the Dominion preferred to forget. But the Wastes did not kill him — they forged him. In a land where mana turns feral, monsters replace law, and mercy gets you buried, Cale survived by mastering older methods of power: methods that do not fit neatly into cores, rankings, or institutions. Now he has returned. Arclight Academy wants to classify him, noble houses want to control him, and military and political powers want to decide whether he is an asset or a threat. They are already too late. Behind a quiet demeanor and a worn mask, Cale walks back into a world that no longer recognizes him — and one that will soon learn what it means to provoke something forged outside its rules.

Leveling up has been a forgotten relic for nearly a thousand years.

Lucian North has been dying for over a year from a rare heart condition — and when Death finally arrives, Lucian pulls a gun on the Grim Reaper. When demons swarm in pursuit of Death, Lucian fights them off, and for his trouble is awarded Death's Mantle: a transfer to a spiritual realm where he is suddenly powerful, able to conjure weapons from nothing and develop game-like mechanics to manage his new role. But Lucian has a problem. He can't communicate with the living, and his brother is scheduled to die. Only Lucian can stop it.

Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.
