Summoned to a fantastical world and granted powers by a broken System, most freshly minted protagonists would get ready for their stats to start climbing. But Fischer isn't like most MCs — he doesn't want to be a hero at all. Fame, fortune, power? He had enough of all that in his old life. Discovering forbidden fishing techniques and petting every cute animal in scritching distance? Now that's a good time. Unfortunately, cosmic forces rarely care for mortal feelings. Fischer is hounded by inept cults, conspiring nobles, and more magical misunderstandings than a preteen relationship. Even his dutiful pet crab is firing energy blades like an anime antagonist.

His journey takes him across the American West and beyond, facing evil both human and inexplicable, as his destiny slowly reveals itself.

In a world of lightless skies and endless secrets, humanity endures as a vigil of light against eternal darkness. Under the Illuminated King and the Reflected Council, a veteran explorer assembles an expedition to the far east — a place no sane man would go — because Jonathan Heights claims to have seen sunlight. Sunlight is a laughable myth, but he will not be stopped. Wonders and horrors both lie between the human lands and his goal: long-forgotten things that could not be recorded on any map. As crown agents and underworld figures join Jonathan aboard the airship Endeavor, motives remain uncertain and the truth stays shrouded.

The Empire stands triumphant. For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age, threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles, rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, and the First Prince of Procer ponders whether a crusade might secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife. Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

Ragnarok is near and the Vikings of Midgard have failed to prevent it. Searching all worlds for one last warrior, Odin's eye falls on Magnus — an Army Ranger whose death took his entire team with him. Summoned before the All-Father, Magnus strikes a bargain: be reborn in Midgard, empower himself through mystical runes, and battle Odin's foes — in exchange for his team getting a second chance at life if he succeeds. Waking in a small farming village, Magnus must train and battle mundane foes and mythological creatures across all Nine Realms.

A new emperor rules each year in Yohuachanca. Only the most delicious food graces his palate, the realm's most beautiful women fill his harem, his palace dazzles the mind — and at the year's end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is a pisspoor orphan and this year's emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar. But the vampires have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer whose soul can journey into the secret underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good. He may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.

Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden — until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace. She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear. Then the cosmos declares his death "an error" and hurls him back to existence. Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — where sword-saints carve mountains and power is measured in the lives you can end — Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.

Martin Banks is just a normal guy who makes an abnormal discovery: reality is nothing more than a computer program, and he can manipulate it. When his little 'tweaks' attract unwanted attention, he time-travels to Medieval England to pose as a wizard rather than face prosecution. An American hacker in King Arthur's court, Martin must train to become a full-fledged master of his powers, discover the truth behind the ancient wizard Merlin — and not, you know, die or anything.

A monster is born in the depths of the wilds, but she isn't like her siblings. Curiosity colors her every thought, and a hunger for understanding grows within this little creature. The world is full of wonders just waiting to be discovered — she's not just hunting for her next meal; her prey is something far greater: knowledge. But discovery alone is missing half the point. What joy is there in finding the next amazing thing when there's no one to share it with?

Sataou was not chasing glory. He had a sharp mind, a relaxed spirit, and a place in the Shengu Sect earned through quiet dedication rather than burning ambition. His Void affinity demanded emotional control — and the world refused to let him stay whole. When that balance shatters, what remains loses what makes it human. This is not a tale of ascension. It is the story of what is lost along the way — and the rise of a man who will stop at nothing to sever the chains of a captive world.

The war ended, but the world didn't. For years, the lands burned in the wars of the White Queen, a sorceress and tyrant whose mad ambition brought ruin to all she touched. Now she is dead, but all that remains has been bled dry — charred towns lie hollow, fields return to the wild, and quiet shadows settle where folk once made their homes. Through this darkness, the young wizard Martimeos walks broken roads following the fading trail of his brother, who marched west to fight in the Queen's War and never returned. On his journey he must barter with demons, trade riddles with fae, and contend with the wild witch Elyse, a fellow practitioner with secrets of her own. At last the road brings him to Silverfish, a cursed village whose future has been stolen. His search will lead him to the horror at the heart of Silverfish's tragedy — and the truth behind his brother's fate.

From confronting that first betrayal to facing a full-scale war between god-arcanists, Volke rises through the ranks of the Frith Guild while working to stop the Second Ascension and its Autarch from seizing god-creatures that could destroy the world.

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.

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.
