In the Iron Empire, only the strongest are given a chance to Ascend. Castor has wanted nothing more than to fuse with a Cor Heart — an otherworldly metal that would let him bind a Symbol and manipulate the elements. When his chance is interrupted by a vicious attack that leaves his home in ruins and his family in peril, Castor is conscripted into the Legions and bound to a Symbol he never wanted. He must now survive the Iron City, enemies in the frozen North, and clandestine traitors within the rusting Empire itself — driven above all by revenge.

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.

A self-insert into the world of Naruto. Ryoma, orphan of the sands, knows full well that he's nothing special as far as ninja go. The smart move would be to run to the other side of the planet and wait for the oncoming apocalypse to pass him by. Running has never been his style.

A new emperor rules each year in Yohuachanca.

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.

All his life, Mark Fields has dreamed of joining the Defense Force to fight the vicious, alien Exlian — just like the rest of his renowned family. So far, he's a dishwasher: no powers, no money, and even fewer friends. An encounter with a dying woman changes everything, granting him the abilities he needs to join the training camps.

A story about body horror and alienation, weird zombie-girls gluing themselves back together, mad science beyond mortal ken, and trying to cradle the flower of companionship in twitching, undead fingers.

The saying goes that when a man is born, the Fates weave his destiny and swaddle him in it. When he dies, that swaddle becomes his shroud. Heaven moves on. To question the Fates is audacity. To transgress the line of divinity, scale Olympus Mons, and defy the threads of destiny is hubris — a mark every philosopher bears plainly on their soul.

The Holy Empire is in decline.

Armed with a magical gift that is as much curse as blessing, he must navigate treacherous aristocratic entanglements, represent his family's interests, manage formidable enemies, forge alliances, and somehow keep his brash cousin Friedrich out of trouble.

When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity reverse-engineered its technology and entered a new Golden Age. Hundreds more ships followed over the years, each spurring greater leaps forward. One unassuming craft that fell on Siberia in 2021 passed unnoticed — but it contained something beyond miraculous technology. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was being built to turn the tide against the alien incursion consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam, an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility, is now alone — his only company a base AI and an army of empty suits. With the world gone to hell and the things that caused it still living above, he decides he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option.
