Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for elite Force Recon. He'd found a tribe and a family — so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret.

He's been chosen by Raguel, the Five-Faced God of Justice, and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger, and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock spells, and harness the abilities of the monsters he's dispatched to hunt.

Nor will a land such as Norsca free itself from their grasp and rise without struggle. Ready yourself, Thor Odinson. There is axe work needs doing.

What do you get when you cross nanomachines controlled by a volatile AI with a bleeding-edge military-grade cybernetic implant and a gutter rat out to prove everyone wrong?

So he does what any teenager with no more cares left to give does — chips in some mil-spec chrome and looks for a quick way to earn edds, all the while learning to utilize the nanotechnology forced on him as a child. Corpo or Edgerunner? Why not both? And why not the best of both while we're at it?

Bastion: the last hope of civilization. Bright, flashy, and dangerous. Heroic Wardens protect the city from monsters, rifts, and villainous Anarchs, while corporations bicker like children even during the end-times.

They were just out of reach for one wayward Stray who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now, with the OS having chosen them, it's time to claw back to the top — one rift, job, and monster at a time. Just as soon as there's enough drive to actually get out there. Picking up the pieces is just so tiring.

Years have passed since Naomi Ziegler's own conscription ended, years spent rebuilding her life and becoming the first ex-superhero lawyer in the country. But as long-buried troubles return and blur the lines between right and just, Naomi must make the choice she's long deferred: whether to hold onto the comfortable life she's built, or reach out for the justice she has long been denied.

Every year on Power Day, people across the world awaken new abilities and are labeled Heroes or Villains.

Alex Adams is the Iron Menace, a less-than-notable supervillain in Victory City — until a power he'd mostly written off misfires and accidentally kills a member of the League of Domination, the premier villain organization of the world. The League doesn't take kindly to nobodies offing their members, and the superheroes are paying attention too. With his past misdeeds catching up to him, no desire to swap sides for a cushy redemption arc, and unwilling to serve as anyone's flunky, Alex sees only one option: World Domination. A humorous but loving take on superhero-villain fantasy in a cape world inspired by the silver and bronze age of comics, with light progression elements and alternative-history world-building.
