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.

My name is Xal and I live in the dims, a walled prison where my people are kept by cruel masters until we are needed to fight. One member of every family must answer The Call, for our blood bears the magic of a demonic god and all the terrible power that brings. We march to war against the Fomori — an unstoppable army of giants and their behemoths. If we do not, our families are put to death. If by some miracle I survive, I will be granted entrance to the Imperial Academy, where every noble house will vie to architect my end. They fear the rise of another dreadlord. And they are right to fear. I will pull down an empire — and that is just the beginning.

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.

Nic has been Selected — chosen to leave his own body behind, become a monster, and serve as a footsoldier for the System's integration of new worlds. His mission: help break the native inhabitants of a planet called Earth into submission. But Nic has never loved the System, and his home planet is a depleted husk the System long since forgot. Arriving under blue skies and green forests, he might just fall in love with this strange world — leaving him with few friends and a thousand enemies.

That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

Born into a world that had forgotten violence, Elor watched his home fall to an enemy called the God of Death — an undead army that swept city after city until only a last stronghold remained. Orphaned by war and raised to be a healer, he became a soldier instead, eventually commanding the final battalion of his world. He killed the Undead King — and then died before he could learn the full truth. But that wasn't the end. He woke in a new world, in a new body, with a chance to start again. Elor, last defender of his world, will hunt the God of Death for his revenge.

Princess Lillia Ashvalin was supposed to inherit a throne, not fight a giant bug for the right to wear its skin as a dress.

Now our princess has fallen into a world — and a genre — she was never meant for.

Down here, all the knights are dead. Down here, nobody saves the princess.

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.

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.

In a future where noncitizens can only find work inside the virtual world of Disgardium, fifteen-year-old Alex dreams of becoming a space guide. With his family's circumstances forcing his hand, the game is now his only path to that goal. But after a Sleeping God bestows its power on Alex's in-game character Scyth, he is classified as a Class-A Threat — the system's designation for players with an unfair advantage. Now every major clan in the world has reason to hunt him, his patron gods are tearing him apart from the inside, and the Destroying Plague wants its Emissary to infect all of humanity. That Emissary is him.

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.

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.

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. Armed with a sassy AI companion named Dave and the questionable skills of a fae assassin, SJ is the one person operating completely free of the System's rules — drawing the attention of local gods, dragons, and everything in between. Finding her footing in a world where reputation matters will be no easy task.

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.

Monsters don't fear the dark. They fear Velik. Changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand, Velik is now faster and deadlier than any ordinary human — armed with a unique class built for one purpose: hunting monsters. For ten years he has braved the frontier alone, growing stronger with every kill. But the monsters are coming faster and stronger, and he is losing ground. When a guild hunter arrives and seems more interested in Velik than in the monsters he was hired to kill, Velik is forced to venture deeper into the woods — where what he finds is not just a nest but a secret that could explain what happened to him ten years ago. Something in the dark remembers him, and it has been waiting.
