Yesterday Ben was a small-time criminal fleecing New York's upper class. Today he has a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. He thinks he might be able to use his skills in disarmament and deception to help people this time around. Maybe. Watching a medieval city guard fend off a ten-meter sentient slime blob crawling up from the sewers makes him reconsider his life choices. Tomorrow he needs to rescue a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and — most importantly — convince an innkeeper to make a decent bacon and cheese omelette.

When a young dwarf named Yorvig travels to a mining claim in the wilds of the Red Ridges, he learns by hard experience that his fellow prospectors are more focused on ore than survival. Thinking he alone can hold disaster at bay, Yorvig plots his way to becoming captain of the mine. He only expected to lead in a fight against starvation, but far greater danger arrives in forms both fair and foul. The mine grows beyond what they ever imagined, and while Yorvig's authority must grow with it, the challenges of love and loyalty will not make it easy — nor will the old foe determined to drive the dwarven folk from the Red Ridges.

Magic tears through an unsuspecting Earth, bringing mythology and monsters to life — and giving humanity a chance to prove their mettle. All Calum Green wants is to reach what remains of his family. Ninety miles of the Scottish Highlands stand between him and his home in coastal Oban — and he doesn't want to make that trek with his cheating ex-girlfriend's bestie at his side. Eilidh MacIntosh has always disliked Calum, and she's now armed with a bloody claymore on top of her disdain. But the ascension directive is clear: humans cannot survive this new world alone. With Calum's magic and their combined bad luck, the unlikely duo accidentally trigger a rare ascension quest: to find the perpetrator of a dangerous, corrupt magic that could make all of humanity an endangered species.

Sean is a college junior studying computer science, living in near-poverty since his father died in an industrial accident when he was eight. When a failed kidnapping attempt leaves his best friend dead and his mother missing, Sean is thrust into a hidden world of magic, supernatural societies, and lycanthropes — all of whom want him dead or captured. Determined to finish the work that got his father killed, Sean builds a growing family of allies — tantric witches, cheetah lycanthropes, and wolves — and wages a campaign against the powerful magic councils that control his city. What begins as survival quickly escalates into an all-out war to reshape the balance of power across North America. As Sean's influence grows, he faces ancient demons, government conspiracies, and enemies who see his rise as an existential threat they cannot allow to stand.

A transmigrated soul wakes in a new world, finding a new family and — more importantly — magic. Not the muscle-bound kind that obeys the square-cube law, but something entirely different: a force with no physical volume, and therefore no apparent ceiling on its power. There are also scary monsters in this world, which makes getting stronger sensible enough. But the real obsession is simpler — finding out just how far the magic can be pushed.

Billions of years ago, Earth formed a little differently — less iron, more water — and the first humans evolved on a lone continent surrounded by vast oceans spanning 97.5% of the planet. For millennia, humanity believed their island to be the only land in existence, until satellites revealed two distant continents. An expedition of humanity's best and brightest sets out — only for a series of disasters to wipe out all but one of the crew. Doctor Alexander Pryce becomes the first and only man to step foot on foreign soil. Alone, he struggles to carry on the mission, and in doing so draws the attention of an inquisitive and highly intelligent dragon. Desolate but not alone, Pryce begins the painstaking process of learning to communicate with an alien species — and becomes the sole representative of humanity whose actions will determine the future of both their kinds.

Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of concrete. He spends his days repairing machinery and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate the small tunnels that are his world—as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he maintains. An escaped lab experiment living in a hole. Given a chance at being someone different, Milo may become a hero. But there are secrets buried in the ground: ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below. Maybe only a tunnel rat can discover them.

Tucked away on a quiet street, the bookstore doesn't have an address — it magically appears to those who are meant to find it. The job ad seemed amazing: tend a remarkable bookstore with an incredible espresso machine, a cute black cat on the counter, and a room upstairs. The perfect arrangement for paying off ungodly student loans. But as soon as the paperwork is signed, the new keeper discovers the cat talks — and that magic might just be real.

For ten years, Huan Yue has lived a quiet life, serving tea and hiding from the world of god-like cultivators who shattered her family for a petty slight. All she wants is to remain invisible. But on the morning she turns twenty, a mysterious cultivator hunts her down and murders her — and then she awakens in her bed at the start of the very same day, trapped in a waking nightmare. Hunted by a team of relentless and seemingly invincible assassins, Yue discovers that within her curse lies a weapon. If she cannot escape as a mortal, she will become something more. With each death, terror fades and is replaced by burning rage. Forced to walk the path of the very people she despises, she will use the endless cycle to forge her spirit and sharpen her skills. Her hunters believe she is an insignificant pest to be exterminated. They don't realize they've given their victim the one thing she needs to claim her revenge: time.

After being killed by a high-velocity tree, Arlo is transported to a new world of skills, stats, and levels where those brave and talented enough to conquer ancient Delves are rewarded with incredible supernatural power. Unfortunately, there is no tutorial. Arlo is immediately forced to tackle a Delve set to the highest difficulty with a party of strangers, possessing no armor, no weapons, and no knowledge of this world — and his paper-thin excuses for how he got there are growing thin. There's also the fact that the System seems to be treating Arlo's situation like a big, cosmic joke. Determined not to die again, Arlo forgoes his highest stat, Intelligence, and dumps everything into Fortitude. After all, who needs equipment when you can eat fireballs for breakfast and ask for more hot sauce? Mage Tank is a comedic LitRPG set in an epic fantasy world rapidly evolving as new and powerful secrets of the Delves are uncovered, featuring slow progression, intelligent characters who make intentional build choices, and real consequences.

When the System came to Earth, technology failed, monsters appeared, and billions died as humans were inducted into game-like physics. Unfortunately for the System, not all humans were on Earth. Cato is an ordinary postbiological citizen — disgusted enough by the System's excesses to go through one of the portals and spread himself into the broader System just as Earth is completely freed. He has no magic, but he has the technology and knowledge of a civilization reaching toward the second rank of the Kardashev scale. He may have to operate under the System's limitations, but he certainly doesn't have to play by its rules. His goal is simple: remove the System entirely.

Once, Shen Bu destroyed everything his father had ever worked for — burning the new home to ashes, consuming his mother's cultivation, and slaying the unborn daughter within her. Three hundred years later, Shen Yu is still searching for anything to save that daughter's life, crippled and hidden in a realm where time is slowed to preserve her. No progress has been made. Feeling the weight of his quest, he returns to the city of his birth to drown his sorrows — and meets a boy who finally gives him hope.

The new inhabitant lacks a cheat or a system, but a chance meeting with an unremarkable middle-aged man who likes talking about medicine may prove more valuable than it seems.

The saying goes that when a man is born, the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. When he dies, that swaddle becomes his shroud. Heaven moves on. To question the Fates is audacity. To transgress the line of divinity, scale Olympus Mons, and defy the threads of destiny is hubris — a mark every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.
