The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within ever-dying cities. Mages create the only path forward. Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a power path that was her own. She knows it is her duty to use that power to defend humanity against the creatures of the untamable wilds — but she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Now Tala must balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Academy dropped on her shoulders, not to mention staying alive. Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage.

The universe was a vast, empty, dark, and uncaring place — until life happened and changed it forever, even if only a teeny-tiny bit. Perspective, as it turns out, is everything. Magh'rathlak the Observer is an unfathomable cosmic being from beyond the veil of reality. Average as far as reality-warping entities go, it still struggles to keep things in perspective. To narrow its maddening vastness, it decides to compress its entire being into a single corporeal form. Magh'rathlak had never tried such a feat, but that wasn't about to stop it. After all — how hard could being human possibly be?

When the system warned the world it was coming a week in advance, Alex couldn't have been more excited. In college for a degree he didn't care about to get a job he didn't want, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the potential cost of death — was the best news he could have imagined. He wasn't ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where even the bugs are stronger than he is. Even with a summoner class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo. Where others saw certain death, he found opportunity.

Compelled by its illustrations, she recreates one of the intricate circles on her apartment floor — and accidentally triggers a Summoning. But rather than a Demon or other supernatural creature, she summons herself.

October, 2042. An extinction-level asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. World governments are preparing deep-earth bunkers for a lucky few, but Jack Mitchel, a thirty-two-year-old EMT, isn't among the winners. His only chance: permanently upload his mind into Viridian Gate Online, a brand-new ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG.

When Jack stumbles upon a secret conspiracy to transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age, the deadly creatures in the dungeons become the least of his concerns.

The Rasmussem Corporation creates virtual reality games that plug directly into the brain — no keyboard, no monitor, just pure immersion. But the technology comes with catastrophic risks when things go wrong, and for some players the game becomes deadly serious. From brain-hacked dungeon crawls where a crashed game means real-world death, to a medieval fantasy where a girl must win or die for real, the Rasmussem universe explores what happens when the line between virtual and reality collapses.

By cruel trick of the fates — or just the apathy of an uncaring universe — a modern soul awakens as Orochimaru shortly after he has possessed a woman as his new host.

Post-apocalyptic Oregon Trail. Mazelton comes from a clan of radiation wizards who harvest the cores of living beings to power their magics — but he has no enthusiasm for the family trade. That hardly matters when entire armies are sent to exterminate his clan. He has to run: from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, forced marriages, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not-terribly-nice family has trained him to survive apocalypses. A world still recovering from the last one should be easy.

Dragons have been extinct for centuries. Can one young man bring them back? Raphael was born with the mark of the dragon. His foster father taught him a mysterious and ancient magic unlike anything seen since the last dragon left the world. Now, at 18, he is accepted into a guild of mages with the promise of learning more about his unique power. Raphael's strange abilities could very well lead to the return of the dragons — a coming-of-age fantasy series with cultivation elements and incremental progression through spells, abilities, and equipment.

Arden gave everything to rise as a guild adventurer, pushing his warrior training and artificer talents to their limits. For four soul-crushing years, his Rank 0 Epiphany remained locked at 99%. Now, with his dreams fading and health collapsing, he undertakes one final quest — a simple goblin extermination in the city's sewers — and discovers a rare Hell Portal: the only path to unlock his true potential. Beyond lies limitless power and realms stretching far past the borders of his empire. In this System, there can only be one Slayer.

A succession crisis consumed the Kingdom of Dovhain following the death of Edgar the Great. Princess Isabella endured every indignity, overcame countless injustices, and fought the most vicious of enemies — first for survival, then for hope of a better future. She became queen, only to be betrayed by those she trusted most. Somehow, Isabella woke up eight years in the past, one week after her father's death. The experience and knowledge she gained in the struggle for the throne give her a fighting chance — but the question she must answer is a hard one. Should she pursue her own happiness, or attempt to better the realm? Perhaps, if she dares, she can reach for both.

Eight thousand years after the Glassing of Earth, Terran Descent Humanity has largely become a post-scarcity society based on consent and enjoying life. With the discovery of another ancient race beyond the "Great Gulf," events and history collide to draw the Terran Confederacy into war against a hundred-million-year-old empire that has always won — and believes it always will. With allies and enemies of multiple species, the Orion Galactic Arm Spur will be wracked by warfare the likes of which have not been seen. Cracked, harried, wounded, and damaged, Terran Descent Humanity willfully throws itself against the universe itself. Told largely from the viewpoint of other species, this is a vast ensemble war story spanning hundreds of perspectives across an entire interstellar conflict.

The great war is over and the "good" side has won. But what happens to the last surviving members of the defeated "evil" side? This is the tale of one such survivor. Will she seek revenge, hide her origins and try to live in peace, or will the universe have something else entirely in mind?

Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword-and-sorcery world where he was hailed as the Hero of the World after crawling up from poverty to fame and luxury. On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then, he'll just have to outwit or outrun the horrors most sane adventurers avoid. Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

The world called out for a hero to purge it of great evil. It received Broccoli Bunch — explorer, expert cleaner, occasional ghost-buster, and full-time Cinnamon Bun. Broccoli's approach to adventure is unconventional: talk enemies into becoming friends, hug menu boxes, and wield overpowered skills like Cleaning and Gardening. Her personal quest is simple — make all the friends. All of them.
