Octavia blames magical girls for the collateral damage that killed her parents and left her disabled. In the decades since the wall between the waking world and the Dreamlands came crashing down, no firepower can match divine favour — only young women chosen by the Dream-Gods of Earth can turn back the Nightmares that creep through the open wound in reality cutting through England's heart. Octavia's greatest wish is to go unnoticed, to swallow her rage and her desire, ignoring a hopeless love for her best friend as university parts them forever. But then a magical girl attacks another in a terrorist bombing, and Octavia finds herself arrested — both witness and suspect. The only way out is a contract with a Dream-God, but this divine trickster isn't from Earth. Fugitive and public enemy, she discovers there's a whole other type of magical girl — and now she's one of them. Freedom and revenge no longer seem impossible, but things worse than Nightmares are seeping through the ragged edges of reality, and Octavia knows she's a pawn in a cosmic game.

Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and scorned as a waste. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations. Exploring strange realms, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. The elixirs he needs to advance require mastering alchemy himself — and the Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods will do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

Telos is a world at the center of the Universe — a bright jewel wrapped in a lattice of realities, home to gods and demons at the beginning of a new age. Remy is a newly risen deity struggling to survive in a Battle Royale where the consequences are worse than death and last longer than damnation. He cannot live without his tribe of worshipers — their strength is his, and his is theirs. Other tribes want nothing more than to feast on their flesh and consume their power. Gods of ancient pantheons and demons of forbidden nightmares compete in a timeless game where the stakes are the souls of every living being.

Jakob was only seven when he was summoned to Helmsgarten's sewers by the Fleshcrafter calling himself Grandfather. For seven painful years, Jakob studied the depraved craft of his monstrous mentor, before being let loose on the populace of the metropolis. With the vague task of creating the ultimate being to rival Grandfather's greatest creation, he is left with nothing but the flesh-stitched robes on his body and the loyal wight Heskel. Together, the pair explore a civilisation utterly alien to them, raised as they were in the dark and damp of the city's underbelly. Along his journey, Jakob constructs monsters and constructs, dodges the noose of the guards, joins the Adventurers' Guild in his voracious hunt for knowledge, and parleys with Demon Lords and Great Ones. Many who believe him a weak child suffer eternally for their arrogance. And in the end, even Grandfather must face the realisation that his creation is greater than he could ever have imagined.

For Joshua Still, Skills were the lifeblood of his business. He wanted to understand them, collect many of them, and teach a few — which was a problem, because his profession of Skill Trainer was perfectly legal but deeply frowned upon. After all, it wouldn't do for a non-tailor to teach Tailoring, according to every Guild with enough money and clout to complain. Still, Skill Trainers provide a valuable service, and Joshua has managed to keep his research and training practice quietly under the table, aided by many a bribe. But his quiet, anonymous life is about to change — when the Baron demands you pay him a visit, you have little choice.

Victor Shelby's life is going nowhere—dead-end job at an animal shelter, struggling to pay rent—when he is abducted by aliens and deposited on a prehistoric world filled with hungry dinosaurs and beautiful alien women. He doesn't know why he's there, but his natural empathy for animals has grown into a full ability to tame and control dinosaurs. Victor must use his taming powers to find food, water, and shelter for the women he's sworn to protect. Failure means death in the jaws of Earth's most dangerous predators.

Sael the Great helped defeat the Corrupted One four hundred years ago, ushering in the longest era of peace the world has ever known. Since then, most of his companions have died, the world moved on, and Sael retreated to a cloud in the sky — thought dead by all but a few, fading into legend. Until a young woman named Ilsa, a descendant of one of his earliest companions, comes looking for him. Whispers from the West speak of settlements vanishing overnight, swallowed by a creeping entity that even the mages cannot explain. The stories sound familiar — echoes of an evil Sael thought gone forever. To investigate, he'll need to traverse lands that have forgotten his face, dodge the cults that formed around his legend, and perhaps train a student or two — remembering that life has much more to offer than smoking on a cloud and longing.

Hong Fei was once a promising soldier. Now his cultivation is crippled, and he limps toward his last hope: a quiet position in the household of Duke Yu, an old family ally living in exile. All he seeks is a place to fade into obscurity with dignity. But fate has other plans. Two mysterious cards fall into his possession — one summons a giant badger spirit beast, the other heals what everyone said couldn't be healed. When he finally reaches the Yu household, he finds not refuge but a family under siege: the duke is dying, the duchess hides her own illness, and rival nobles circle like wolves. Hong Fei wanted to disappear. Instead, he must become the shield between a falling house and those who would devour it — while behind the political schemes and assassination attempts, someone is stealing fate itself.

Twelve souls were chosen to expand into the void surrounding the multiverse, given a grace period to grow their domains in relative safety. Once that period ends, the created universes will be able to interact with each other — and be at the mercy of the Void. One of those souls finds the work of a deity far from easy. Between raising up gods to defend the realm, guiding mortals, accidentally creating a xianxia world, and dealing with divine children, there is always more to be done. Now it's clear why gods on Earth worked in mysterious, invisible ways: there's simply too much to be done.

Even after the bombs fell, even after countries unleashed weapons beyond imagination on one another, even after lawlessness became the norm — people still expect their mail. As a deadman, the narrator is uniquely suited to deliver it. Radiation does not bother him, and those who try to hurt him typically wind up dead. A Fallout-inspired apocalyptic story about a courier braving an irradiated wasteland, featuring a weird-west vibe, gunfights, radiation mutants, and a detailed progression system.

Destiny called — and Terry hung up. Introverted computer programmer Terry Williams' life is not exciting, and he is A-OK with that. So the last thing he expects on a hiking trail is for Truck-kun to vehicular-homicide him straight into another world. When he wakes up with a head full of new information and people calling him the hero, he promptly flees destiny — dodging noble plots, avoiding a vengeful church, and being stalked by a monster. Terry's read enough isekai to know the hero gig is reserved for the most masochistic of suckers. The only question is whether he can manipulate the tropes well enough to survive.

Morgan Mackenzie had a very bad day. First at work, then at home — and then her bathtub fell through a portal to another world, with her in it. Now she's stranded thousands of miles from any sort of civilization with nothing but the bathtub and a lace puffball scrubby. But she learned magic, so that's sort of nice. Now if only she could find some clothes. This is a bigger story than just one main character fighting the monster of the week — multiple characters and perspectives populate a fully realized world.

After years of fighting a terrible disease, Amelia finds herself transported into a mysterious world, right into the quarters of a demon captain. Free from her years of suffering, Amelia decides to face this new reality with optimism and cheerfulness. Strangely, she seems to have a new body, retaining all the abilities of her game character she spent years levelling — but wasn't that character a demonic combat mage? And who is this pretty blond woman she's become? Better not let the demons know of her titanic combat capabilities. Maybe her modest healing abilities could be provided as a service instead.

When Earth evolves past a threshold few even knew existed, humanity is whisked away by the Grand System to an educational Tutorial. Arthur Ward is left behind, bleeding out on a sidewalk. Animals have become deadly monsters, dimensional incursions are a constant threat, and Arthur is forced to adapt or die. Missing the Tutorial was supposed to be a death sentence — but with new rules to live by and a path to redemption before him, it may be the best thing that ever happened to him. After all, nothing is quite impossible when you can rewrite reality itself.

Living in a world of cultivators is like walking on the edge of a knife. Su Fang arrives completely unprepared, knowing nothing and lacking any skills — destined, by all accounts, to die. Fortunately, Su Fang is immortal. Not because he cannot die, but because when he does, he un-dies. His System returns him to the start of his journey after each death, rewarding credits he can spend on anything — but only enough to return him to the point where he fell. To advance further, he must rely on himself alone. A story that is equal parts time loop and xianxia, with a focus on cultivating the self as much as cultivating power. Not about saving the world — about living life in an unfamiliar place where everyone seems to want you dead or enslaved.

He immediately begins planning for the future, only to discover his killer has somehow followed him back. To succeed, he must unite the kingdom and uncover his killer's motivation—using as many tries as it takes.

Francis Francis Francis the 3rd was one hell of a Marine. He died doing what he loved. After being vaporized in the line of duty, Francis is transported to a new world full of gods and magic. Too bad Hades is trying to kill him for declining a job offer and the System holds a grudge for what happened during character creation. At least his new patron deity seems nice. Armed with nothing but his lucky pink booty shorts, a pair of matching flip flops, and nineteen years of Marine Corps experience, Francis must find a way home to his fellow grunts — or be listed as KIA forever.

Cassie is about to have her dream retirement, joining her favorite game world, Biprism Realm — a place of magic, portals, pocket realms, towers to eternity, monsters, and steampunk elements.
