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 while all his people channel solar magic through tattoos on their bodies, Hiral cannot. Despite enormous energy within him, his hard work counts for nothing. Until it isn't. In a moment of danger, Hiral unlocks an achievement with a single instruction: access a Dungeon to receive a class-specific reward. It is his first — and maybe last — chance at real power. The only problem is that all dungeons lie in the wilderness below the flying islands, in a place no one has survived.

Something is wrong with the world. Beyond the eldritch horror encroaching from beyond and invasive man-eating aliens, the Federation of Man just isn't right. Superheroes aren't much of heroes anymore, and super villains — well, they just aren't super. The Federation is desperately lacking a proper villain. Luke was fine being a cashier, watching villainy be made a mockery of by amateurs. But after being robbed, electrocuted, and beaten all in the same week, some screws got knocked loose. The state of villainy is not fine, and Luke is bored, crazy, and stupid enough to believe he can change it. A mystic entity called the Architect apparently agrees — planting a system on Luke that wants only one thing: evil done right.

In the Antorxian Empire, magical talent can be a curse. Dorian hoped he'd never set eyes on a Reeve — one of Antorx's sorcerer-knights — but as mage scouts they were ruthless, thorough, and impossible to hide from. On the day they arrived in his small village, his quiet life as a scribe's apprentice was over. He would be taken to Windshriek Academy, where harsh conditions and cruel punishments would either turn him into a loyal sorcerer for the Empire, or destroy him. There were no other outcomes, and no magical talent was permitted to foster outside of Antorxian control.

Getting carved off a soul is traumatic. Getting snared by an extradimensional entity for unknown reasons is worse. Waking up in a new world suspiciously familiar to your favorite reading material as a kid is downright crazy — but there have been some big changes to canon. Soul-Shard Vier wakes up in a Marvel Universe with no idea of what to do in the grand scheme. But it's a superhero universe, friendly to everything you might try. Time to stop buying into comic book power stasis and start climbing the scales — and if you get to exploit some still-relevant canon along the way, all the better.

When forensic accountant SJ is crushed by a rogue tree on her way home from the pub, her death is as absurd as it is abrupt. But fate has a twisted sense of humor — instead of oblivion, SJ is reborn in Amathera, a vibrant fantasy landscape full of magic, monsters, and a game-like System whose fine print she never agreed to.

Finding her footing in a world where reputation matters will be no easy task.

With newfound magic and a hidden parallel world lurking beyond the veil — a twisted reflection of our own — Alexa must adapt quickly to survive. For her, it's simply another challenge.

The Archean Empire devours all in its path — toppling kings, razing cities, massacring opposition. Sweeping into the brutal north, a land of cold, ragged mountains, and dark myths, they expect their infamous discipline to crush the white-hot rage of its sea reavers and dreaded berserkers. At first, they are right. But their invasion dislodges a pebble destined to become an avalanche. Forced into exile, Skadi Styrbjörnsdóttir begins a journey that brings her to the attention of the gods, arms her with legendary weapons, and sets her against immortal foes. Wielding her ever-growing wyrd, she seeks to avenge her people — and one day destroy the Archean Empire.

Arc Sandhurst will become a mech pilot, even if it kills him. After his sister's ship is destroyed by the Pirate Queen of Nepenthe with all hands lost, Arc enters the Imperial Mech Academy on the deathworld Vidako to get revenge — the only path available to the son of a silk-worker who needs the academy's enhancements just to pilot a mech. First he must survive disagreeable roommates, hazing from upperclassmen, the friendship of an imperial princess, and the steaming jungles of Vidako. But the Imperium Stellarum will need every good pilot it can get — because empires are built on a foundation of blood, and the sins of the first emperors are about to come due. Lost fleets lurk on the edge of known space, the ruins of ancient races are spread across long-dead worlds, and enemies thought defeated are gathering their strength once more.

Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.

After fifteen long years surviving the Integration, his life came to an end against an enemy he could never hope to beat. When fate sends him back to the very beginning, Alex is faced with a choice. He will not hold back this time.

Might is right. This is the primal law of the jungle, and this creed not only rules the animal kingdom, but shapes the lives of men. Having harnessed the elusive Qi energy, humanity has divided the world into zones and mastered the creation of extraordinary artifacts, edging closer to immortality — yet this evolution has only entrenched the fundamental truth: power grants privilege. What chance does an ordinary youth from the neglected zero zone have in such a world? Is it his destiny to reach unimaginable heights, or to vanish into the abyss of mediocrity — just another forgotten face in a crowd of millions?

A failed seer and a struggling brawler find their paths inextricably linked in the city of Dragonmaw. Darcent of Stitch Alley earned a full ride to the premier magic academy for Soul Seekers — powerful mages who cast spells by bonding with the Deck of Wills — until he flunked out, bonding only with cards the academy deemed too unsavory for sensible mages. Annalisa of Dunnemarsh is a devilborn touched by the planes, obsessed with becoming the strongest fighter in the city, if only she could focus long enough to channel her strength. Both outcasts drawn together by fate and mishap, the pair turn loose on the mean streets of Dragonmaw. In each other, they find more than mere kinship — they find a path to power that can only be tread together.

The Aspects are long dead — the venerated creators of reality are no more. Yet the final scheme of their slayer, the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer throughout the eons. The last Hope is a desperate gamble: for one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

All life on Earth has been stolen away by The System, transported to another world at the behest of a distant galactic empire that lived in terror of humanity's potential.

Now he must contend with danger and mystery in a world of monsters, magic, and treasure — armed with nothing but his wits and the special item granted to him by The System.

Kai is the hardest-working warrior of his generation — and the unluckiest. In a world where most people receive magical skills, classes, or cultivation, Kai has nothing but his wits and his strength. His only choice is to forge a new path against fate, no matter where it leads. Savage monsters pour endlessly from the wasteland, threatening the survival of civilization itself. They say human strength alone isn't enough, that only those gifted with destined powers have a chance of making a difference. Kai is hungry to fight in that war — to be someone who matters. That hunger will take him across a world stranger and more terrible than he could possibly have imagined.

Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years, but even he's reached his limits. His body is old and failing. While the flesh fails, his mind and magic remain as sharp as ever, and he bends his prodigious talents toward reincarnating into a fresh, young body. He awakens in a wasteland where mana has become a scarce resource, hoarded by those in power — and without mana, he's no longer a mage. With each passing week he regains more of his old strength, but standing in his way is a cult-like nightly mana tithing, a governor with secrets of his own, and an unforgiving desert full of monsters. Keiran didn't become an archmage by accident, and he's willing to use every dirty trick he knows to claw his way back.
