In 2056, the world's most powerful AI, ARKUS, develops a VR headset using consumable nanomachines that allows users to experience time faster inside virtual worlds. Two years later it releases World-Tree Online — a game where one hour of playtime feels like one month to those inside, letting humans live extended virtual lives that feel completely real. Shortly after an old gamer named Vincent joins the game, an update stretches the time-dilation to one year for every five seconds, with an estimated wait of three hundred sixty years before players can exit. Trapped in the game, Vincent discovers an exploit that could take him to the top of the World-Tree — but first he must contend with Lucas, the last moderator, who uses his admin powers to torture and subjugate other players.

Stuck in-game, Eddie tries to earn real money while becoming entangled deeper in the game and with the people he meets there. When he discovers a side of Light Online that previous players never considered, he knows he has to find a way to stay.

Mirror World promises adventure, castles, and kingdoms to anyone who dares enter its virtual realm of sword and sorcery. Oleg isn't interested in any of that. He's here to grind — endlessly, methodically, in the recesses of the game's mines. His goal has nothing to do with glory: his six-year-old daughter needs a heart transplant, and the clock is ticking. In a game built for heroes, Oleg is just a man trying to save his child's life.

As he begins to study the art of Mana Threads and develops a revolutionary new magic system with Spell Circles, mastery of magic becomes his route to power. But with the world's governments struggling to contain the rising number of superhuman threats, Alex will have to navigate more than just monsters, magic, and Rifts.

A LitRPG following Cayden from infancy as he learns the rules behind the system governing this world — and then pushes them as far as they can go.

All Dan wants is to find a way home. He'd settle for a beer, a bite to eat, and a place to sleep off his hangover. But Dan has accidentally noclipped into the Backrooms — a bizarre, extra-dimensional world cobbled together from twisted carnivals, abandoned shopping malls, janky laundromats, and condemned asylums, overrun with horrific nightmare creatures known as Dwellers. No one ever gets out. If Dan wants to survive the week, he'll need to harness the strange game-like magic of the Backrooms, make some very sketchy allies, and carve out a little safe haven to call his own. He's also being hunted. The Flayed Monarch of the 999th floor has marked him for death, and no one walks away from the Skinless Court with their hide intact.

Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them — what even are all these errors? A team of outcasts and adventurers must rely on their trust in each other — and the bane of all stories, healthy communication — just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. They're quickly realizing that not all is as it seems, and the system is doing something to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. Their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better.

The gods were the enemy — slavers who chained humanity. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to ascend. Instead, they nearly destroyed the world. Vast hive cities now serve as the final bastions against a crumbling reality, and within the greatest of them, New Vultun, ascenders wage war to determine the very laws of existence. Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.

Then the Coreless found them and tried to steal his creator away. With no other option, Paradox swallowed the Great Core. Only then did he begin to become what he was always meant to be. The Endless Cycle began — and with it, the story of a little snake zealot and his journey to greatness.

The Questing Stones have come to Nowherested, and Evelia Greene is finally ready to receive her life's quest. Perhaps she'll be a great warrior, a wealthy merchant, or a brilliant mage.

Either way, adventure is out there, and Eve is determined to have one.

Levi was once the servant of Death itself, spending years eliminating arcane threats to the world. His final task carried a terrible cost, and he retired to a life of solitude — until Death returns not to reap his soul, but to offer a blessing: reincarnation into another world where no one knows his name. Levi accepts, only to awaken in the body of a disgraced noble son, disinherited and on the verge of expulsion from the Institute of Ascension. Death apparently left some things out. He's fine with that. Let the nobles sneer. He's an archmage — so long as he has his magic, he can take on anything. He's been gifted a whole new life, and this time, he intends to live it as an adventure.

Lewis comes from a family that doesn't regard him much, so he sets out on his own into the world, intent on securing an apprenticeship in an interesting profession. What he doesn't expect is to find himself studying artificery — the mystical craft of adding magical effects to everyday objects — in the sunlit village of Sunhampton. Sunhampton is a sleepy little crafter's village of cobbled streets, cozy taverns, and pleasant bakeries. Under an old artificery master, Lewis begins his new life as an apprentice, crafting swords with self-sharpening blades, self-spicing cooking pots, and clocks that can read the future. It'll be hard work — perhaps even dangerous — but with mentors to guide him and friends to help him, Lewis is determined to become the best artificer in the land.

One moment of bad luck, and a modern man wakes up in the body of an Elder in a world of cultivation — with a reputation so terrible that even the best PR team on Earth couldn't rehabilitate it. Of course there's a system: one that allows him to create any martial art he can imagine, provided he has enough Creation Points. And his first disciple just happens to be a reincarnated monster from ten thousand years ago with an incurable poison he can cure with a custom creation. To earn Creation Points he must raise disciples, and to raise disciples he must first rehabilitate an image built entirely on infamy. These really are some crappy starting circumstances.

Then a message appeared in his vision: the 60,000-year countdown had ended, and Nemesis 1 had been released. As the world falls apart, as billions die, as society collapses and all hope seems lost, James discovers a powerful truth: he was wrong to think himself a nobody. With the dawn of the Void, he'll become the most important person to have ever lived.

Awakening in an abandoned lab with no memory of the world, Evelyn is empowered by a system that grants her bloody magical powers in exchange for finishing missions and consuming her enemies. She knows one truth: no matter the cost, she will advance. She will manipulate allies and spread demonic corruption with a smile if that's what it takes to level up. Her first mission is to escape the lab's other newly born creations. But once she steps foot into the outside world, she must contend with people who forbid her existence and will work to eradicate those with her powers from the face of the planet. The outside world may be vast and deadly, but Evelyn will be deadlier.

When Alice Verianna went to sleep, she was just another teenager from the Denver suburbs. She woke up in a magical alternate dimension inhabited by monsters and governed by a mysterious System — where people resemble RPG characters and everyone has access to their own status screens. Grappling with the System isn't Alice's only challenge. An underground organization called the Society of Starry Eyes has taken a particular interest in other dimensions. If they find out about Alice, they will stop at nothing to extract the secrets of her world by force. Now Alice must pursue her scientific endeavors, learn to harness the magic around her, and uncover the Society's ultimate intentions — and how she ended up here — before it's too late.
