It is a strange experience, waking up without any idea of who or even what you are. But that is precisely the situation for a pink, sentient, crystalline orb waking up in an old, dilapidated building in the middle of a seemingly abandoned city. While investigating its surroundings, it accidentally summons a small demon-like creature. She seems friendly enough — so why not summon a few more? Unfortunately, they find themselves caught on the sidelines of a devastating war that threatens to pull them in. Mind your own business, avoid danger, don't pick fights. Easy enough — except that even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble has a way of finding you.

When alien civilizations clash in war, you would not expect a prey species with short claws, blunt teeth, soft hides, and no natural hunting instincts to be a threat. But as one unique species of psychopathic Grass Eaters rises to the apex of the food chain and begins ruthlessly exterminating their peaceful neighbors, the dying carnivores ask: who can possibly stop this interstellar menace? This anti-cynical HFY sci-fi story reverses the usual predator trope, focusing on technology, military strategy, and a grounded, positive depiction of humanity. Includes space battles, POV-switching (including antagonists), and occasional slice-of-life that moves the story forward.

After thousands of people vanish from Earth, former gymnast Jade Callian finds herself thrust into an endless dungeon filled with magic, monsters, and far too few instructions.

If Jade wants to protect her home, she'll have to defy her demonic instincts, find trusted companions, battle monsters, and unravel the dangerous mysteries surrounding this ancient labyrinth. She just wishes she had more than demon seduction magic to work with.

Seria is the goddess of life and death — fathered by Chaos, born by Order, and the first ambassador to leave the realm of Dedessia to make contact with other realms.

A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

Reincarnated in the body of a Lich — an enemy to all — that's just problem number one. Zeke was only playing the villain to blow off steam. Now he's stuck in the body of one. Trapped in a hostile world, he must flee his former guild into a holy kingdom ruled by the Church of Olattee. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. His power is gone and he must start over. He is still a lich, and he still has his weapon, Mercy — more powerful than even he knows. The real question is: is he now a villain or not, and will he survive long enough to find out?

Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer — and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game, and now he was one of them. The problem: Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body only hits things. He relied on undead minions, but now must depend on other people. And strange boxes keep appearing in his vision describing the world in unfamiliar terms. To survive, he'll need to learn the truth about himself — and that means acting like an adventurer, at least for now.

She will scour ancient sunken ruins, face the dangers lurking in the depths of the sea, and perhaps one day grow to surpass even legend.

In this world, everyone arrives with no memory of their past life and no limbs — everything is rented, and payment is due daily. The System assigns tasks; fail to complete them and you're fined and stripped of everything. Blind spots in the System's surveillance hide brutal, lawless violence. You are assigned a number. You are a volitional Nullform. Adapt, survive, and climb — or be swallowed by the endless pit of debt. This world will not take pity on you.

War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of a beleaguered nation.

At her side, a soul reborn from another world finds himself reincarnated as the powerful manifestation of an ancient prophecy: der Schwarze Ritter, the Black Knight. Together, the two face dire poverty, Acacia's fatal sickness, the looming threat of her noble bloodline, and a horrific war — fighting their way up from the lowest shadows toward something that feels like a life worth living.

When demon-worshiping cultists summon Elania to their world to revive their dead god, a sudden attack sends her fleeing into Eladu's darkest depths. Amid savage predators and underground monsters, she discovers that her newfound abilities are both a formidable weapon and a haunting burden that threatens to reshape her very soul.

Elania is not alone, however — Yolani, an arcane artificer fighting her own battle, finds her fate inexplicably linked to Elania's. Together, they might just be the key to each other's survival.

In the icy north, a young orphan-thief named Marstin Hardgrove is beaten and left for dead in an abandoned mine — forced to eat dirt and rocks before he collapses. Unbeknownst to him, among those rocks was a tiny dungeon crystal. Thrown into the microscopic world of cells, bacteria, and pathogens, the crystal quickly decides it doesn't want to escape — it wants to possess the body entirely. To survive Marstin's immune system and the hostile pathogens threatening them both, the crystal must create its own immune-cell defenders, lay traps, and transform the body into a dungeon. A science-grounded LitRPG told from the perspective of a dungeon core operating inside a living person, alongside the outer adventures of the host.

When Alpha finds himself trapped in a world filled with reality-warping magics and thousand-year-old Cultivators, he quickly learns he might be out of his depth. And like any good fish out of water, he adapts — by giving the fish robot legs and equipping it with a battleship-rated intercontinental Railgun. Soon all those under the Firmament will learn one thing is certain: Alpha isn't trapped in this world with them. They're trapped in here with him.

Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn't want to be different. He just wants a normal life — something his condition has never allowed. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness. One dark night, the abyss pulls him in. A supernatural entity strikes, a car accident becomes anything but ordinary, and Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic alien world where dragons walk like men. A painful, impossible transformation leaves him in a body he doesn't know how to use. An ancient evil stirs, strange storms leave terrors in their wake, and the natives believe he has the power to save them — but he wants nothing to do with their prophecies.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the hero was summoned by the villain instead of the people who need him?

One moment I was a nobody — a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. The next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen informing me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. So I destroyed the last statue of the velmoryn goddess: if I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers, and a little divine intervention seemed like the right place to start. Now I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise.

When she finally returns to the surface, she finds a world long dead — small populations of people surviving on the brink of destruction. With no one to rely on, she must decide whether to find a way forward or succumb to the terrors of her own mind.
