Henry and Jason led normal lives in Seattle before they were abducted to another world by the vain, self-styled god Dolos, who refuses to send them back unless they complete an impossible task — and who oddly doesn't seem to care if they succeed or not. Luckily, the two studied Historical European Martial Arts on Earth. But a Japanese American EMT and a geeky IT programmer don't have many useful skills on a sword-and-sorcery world like Ludus. Stranded in the middle of nowhere with only magic-granting orbs from an apathetic god, they begin their insane adventure — though basic survival and paying rent will have to take priority.

"Honor is the true measure of a man." On this principle, a powerful emperor built his empire, united disparate lands, and destroyed the greatest threat to his world — then died a warrior's death in battle. But instead of rest, he awoke on the border of a foreign kingdom, in the body of a noble-born outcast, with a noose around his neck. His former greatness may exist only as memory, but give him any backwater farm and he will turn it into a formidable stronghold. His experience, knowledge, and strategy remain intact — and time is pressing. The same creatures that once nearly destroyed his kingdom have infiltrated this new world, and only he knows their nature. A new empire must rise, or this world will fall.

After being killed, a somewhat intellectually and empathically disadvantaged young mage wakes up just in time for the start of semester exams.

Whatever kills Shiv only makes him stronger.

When his town is attacked and Shiv is murdered in combat, he finds himself bestowed with a Unique Path possessed by no one else: the Path of the Deathless. Resurrecting upon death, he is cast into the Abyss. In that dark and wondrous place, he is finally free to chart his own destiny — if he can survive its countless dangers. In a world that stands against him, death is not the end. For Shiv, it's just another source of power.

Cynthia doesn't quite get him. He knows things he shouldn't, doesn't know things he should, and is definitely not somebody she thought she'd end up journeying with. Really, it was just his Buneary that was way too cute to leave behind. An OC-insert fic told from a young Cynthia's point of view.

Today wasn't one of Fritz's best days — mainly because he'd been beaten, kidnapped, stuffed in a cell with a slew of other captives, then forced to climb a particularly malevolent Spire. The Spires have stood tall for thousands of years as cities, kingdoms, and empires rise and fall around them. Inside are Treasures, Monsters, and most importantly, Powers. Every floor conquered gives a choice of magical Abilities or Attributes that, when built up and chosen well, could raise even a street urchin to a king or beyond. Which is lucky for Fritz and his crew — urchins and thieves caught in a deadly peril. Climb or die.

Humanity is dying, hunted to extinction by creatures of legend. One boy was born to save them all. That boy just got knifed in the back. He looked a bit too much like Aaron, you see. Now it's Aaron's job to step up, lest his Death correct that little mix-up. But Aaron's skills as a street rat run more towards stealing and stabbing than towards saving. And the more he learns of what brought dear dead Markus to that fatal alleyway, the more he has to wonder just what the world's savior was really up to the night the wrong boy died. A dark fantasy set in a world drawing on a fusion of European and Asian mythology, featuring court politics, gray-on-gray morality, and a slow-burn empire-builder plot.

Andy wanted a quiet life — just his trailer, the Sonoran desert, and a job that didn't ask much of him. Instead, he got a front-row seat to Tucson's collapse. Magic rewrote the rules. Monsters stalked the streets. People mutated — or died. He didn't plan to be a hero. But when the screaming started, Andy grabbed a broken broomstick and did what he does best: survive. Now he has more than his own skin to worry about — kids looking to him for protection, neighbors turning to him for leadership, and a trailer park slowly transforming into a fortress. The System is leveling him up, but not fast enough. The countdown is ticking, the invasions are coming, and if Andy fails, everyone he has begun to care about will be slaughtered.

Dark forces have extended Edward Wright an offer of incredible power at a terrible cost — and Edward has chosen to make them regret it.

But in the battle between Dark and Light — where both sides are cruel, uncaring monsters — he may have no choice but to forge his own path.

Carlos was an ordinary software engineer on Earth — until he died and found himself in a fantasy world of dungeons, magic, and adventure. This new world offers many fascinating possibilities, but it seems unfortunate that the skills he spent much of his life developing will be useless, since they don't have computers. Then he notices something strange: the spell incantations read like source code. Magic is programming?

Not everyone gets a soul. The rise of industry and mechanization has sent the world's population booming, striving relentlessly for the fixed handful of souls that level armies and steer the fate of nations.

For five years he has endured pain and failure attempting to claim one of the souls freed by its vessel's death, earning only his father's contempt. The remnants of a crumbled empire fight in a grinding, bloody war against their ancient enemy. At last, one more opportunity has come. But not everyone gets a soul quite like his.

Coming off humanity's first multi-planet war, the Inner Dolcir Coalition barely survived — thanks in large part to Earth.

With the war over and her mother pressing her toward marriage and children, Rhidi signs up for a joint military training program: a statement to the Humans that IDC members are their equals. The program turns out to be far more than Rhidi bargained for — not only in challenge, but in the freedom she has always craved.
