It's been centuries since the world fell to the mist and crystal, changing the flora, fauna, and the very air. Humanity slowly returns from mountain refuges, mastering crystals and the strange clarity they offer. Now, at age five, every child receives a crystal inlay ring that reveals their calling — a specific area of excellence and a unique method of growth. Everyone has a calling. Everyone but Violet. For eleven years she has been the only child with no calling, learning to adapt to the ridicule and pity with a carefully worn persona of warmth and kindness. Then she finds herself with blood on her hands — and finally understands how to feed her calling, and her appetite.

Every century, the MALswarm invades — adaptive aliens of blood and steel led by Titans that decimate billions and leave behind raw Warp Energy. Humanity seizes this power, transforming into beings of mutated flesh and cybernetic might. Yet the promised utopia remains a lie, and New California's underworld schemes to profit from the impending Fifth Swarm. Two destinies collide amidst the chaos. Ripley — a cybernetics savant battling to save his dying mother — operates in the shadows of a gang-owned nightclub. Diana, engineered for perfection, fights as an officer of the law to forget her past. When a monster is unleashed, they steal its infinite potential to warp their futures. In a city where salvation and damnation are inseparable, Ripley reinvents himself from the wreckage of his enemies' cybernetics as a mercenary, while Diana's mutated blood crackles with lightning as she purges corruption. Against a grand conspiracy of aliens, rogue AIs, shady corporations, and organized crime, their alliance — and conflict — determines if the world will plunge into darkness or embrace the light.

Working-class student Giorgio deGloria has a lofty goal: to become one of the most powerful archmages in the Ringed City and explore the depths of the Crystal Ring Academy, a megalithic dungeon-turned-college at the ancient city's heart. His classmates have repertoires full of rare and lavish spells. The most powerful spell Gio can get his hands on before the first day of school is a paltry uncommon spell called [Reflect]. To distinguish himself, he'll need to survive an endless dungeon full of magic and mystery, navigate a hellish bureaucracy authored by ignorant nobles, and prove himself worthy to the spirits that make the world tick — all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

When virtual reality becomes real enough to feel like another world entirely, Valia Online arrives. A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all — calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race: Deathlord. A mage by choice and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out he'll need much more than magic and steel to survive. Strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't. But as the game becomes too real and touches a part of him he'd rather leave buried, Jack is faced with two questions: who is he, really — and who should he become?

A weak soul must not cultivate. Madness consumes the weak of mind. Eternal servitude awaits the weak of heart. Su Fang arrives in a realm of cultivation unprepared — no skills, no knowledge, and no backing. His blessing from the Heavenly Dao isn't power over the elements or mastery of profound arts — it's repetition. Every time he dies, he returns to the moment of his arrival. He uses each reset to grind skills, refine his inner essence, and empower his soul using only the memories of countless failures. Yet the world is ruthless, and time alone won't be enough. Every reset washes away not only his mistakes, but his triumphs. In a land where even the strong perish, his fate is clear: he's an immortal destined to die. Over and over.

The world ended. The Apocalypse opened the gates of Hell, demons killed everyone — including me. But I got a second chance at life. As an apple. Which was eaten by a starving survivor, not that I fault them. But to toss my half-eaten core into a landfill? Then an earthquake buried the landfill a mile underground. No sunlight, no water, and I'm pretty sure the apple I was reincarnated into was a GMO hybrid with no real chance of germinating. Then: **DING** — SYSTEM INITIATION!

Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe — though modern-day research was too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make real headway. That doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate society with little room for novel experimentation. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. A slice-of-life progression fantasy following someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips from the System, and plenty of exploration.

Percy is a poor child with nothing to his name — no power, no family, only an old mentor who soon dies and leaves him truly alone. But everything changes when he gains access to mana and manifests an [Ego]: a rare ability that lets him consume what he owns and reforge the ordinary into the extraordinary. A wooden shovel can transform into a weapon of legend; a tattered coat into something impenetrable. He claws his way from poverty to power, but the higher he climbs, the darker the world becomes. Powerful Adventurers vanish without a trace, and Percy is pulled straight into the heart of the mystery.

Dying and being reborn in a fantasy world as a hero destined to kill the Demon King is some people's greatest dream. Others, however, may prefer to sit around, relax, take a few naps, and ignore the impending doom. And if such a hero gets reborn as a cat, what's going to stop them from doing exactly that? Finding a warm tavern home filled with food, gossip, and comfort sounds a whole lot easier than putting in the work to stop a war.

Wayne appeared in the summoning chambers for Chosen Heroes. While getting isekaied was good news, he was fifty years off the usual cycle — his body didn't become superhuman, and his system access was glitched. He could open menus, but his only clickable option was to view his unimpressive stats, and another called Christmas List was greyed out entirely. Four years into living his second quiet life, he happens upon a strange artifact from Earth: a single page from the 1990 Electronics Boutique Christmas Catalog. His once-inactive ability gives him the power to add skills and abilities to his system by ripping them from the games listed in the catalog. With a second lease on his second life, Wayne sets out with his best friend Fergus to collect more catalog pages — combining abilities from wildly different game systems and trying not to repeat the mistakes of his past.

He used to be a god. Now he's level one. Brynn was the first to ever activate the world's hidden Prestige Mode, gaining powerful perks at the cost of his godhood and all memories of his past life. Now at rock bottom in a brutal world where leveling is so deadly most people never try, he must grind his way back to divinity — armed with nothing but a magical helmet and an empty Alchemist's Kit left by his former self. But secrecy is everything. This world had nine gods, and all but one reset at the same time. With no memories to guide him, Brynn can't trust any of them. And behind it all lurks one haunting question: what terrified gods enough to make them start over?

In the swamp, the rules are simple: you eat them, or they eat you. Nothing's ever that simple when humans get involved. They feed you weird potions, teach you ridiculous commands, and make you fight pointless fights with totally unfair enemies. After years of non-consensual experimentation and a dark ritual involving goat's blood, the System reclassified Deluge as sentient. A nice title, but not something you can eat. Now, armed with heightened intelligence and slowly accumulating knowledge, Deluge expected the world to finally make sense. It doesn't. The more he learns, the more absurd it gets: civilization, laws, status, guilds, oaths — all random nonsense. There's only one system Deluge respects, and that's the System. System gives you levels. System gives you power.

An elderly hermit mage on the outskirts of a labyrinth town invokes simple spellwork to create a mud automaton for household chores — but in the middle of the ritual, his ancient heart finally fails. Now, half-formed and with limited understanding of the world, an artificial being of mud stirs to life. Despite its limitations, it has a mission to fulfill: the last instructions of a dying creator. "Defend my home, and my possessions." To the mechanical mind of Mud, only absolute perfection is acceptable. Nothing in the universe will ever threaten The Master's home.

When the world ends, humanity must fight to survive — but where others struggle in fear, Will sees only an opportunity. When Earth merges with the magical world of Arcadia and a system gives humanity a choice between forty years of indentured servitude or fighting a chaos incursion, Will doesn't hesitate. The system thanks him by throwing him into an impossible tutorial. With little chance of survival, he shrugs and picks [Corruption] as his primary attribute. With a forbidden element — and the powers of death and space added on top — Will just might be able to stab his way through. Earth's sole corruption wielder finds danger at every corner. To him, that might be exactly where he's meant to be.

When an accident kicks Sean Lawrence forward in time, he finds himself square in the apocalyptic end-times. The world is doomed, and he has only a mysterious guidebook, a leather jacket, and a home-made knife. He could spend his days grinding low-level mobs and waiting for a chance to escape. Or he could rise up, slay dragons, and fight against the odds. Faced with a choice between the dead-end life he's been living and a possibility of greatness, Sean has to decide if he's willing to risk everything for a chance to save Earth itself.

Real Fantasy Online is the flagship product for the latest generation of neural-interface headsets, promising total immersion and the best NPC AIs ever created. But when the line between one's real self and one's digital identity becomes blurred, and the gods have their own agenda, who is the player and which is the game? Marcus has played any number of VR games and beta-tested dangerous systems. He usually disdains pre-order perks, but this time the bonus — the ability to craft your character's backstory and have it integrated into the game's lore — is too tempting to pass up. He opts to make a character purely for fun, with no interest in being all-powerful. Things aren't quite what they seem, however, and his backstory and character class have implications he never would have imagined.

Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

Lily Carter juggles lectures, convenience store night shifts, and a secret life as Lilithia Nocturne — a top-ranked demon princess in the VRMMORPG Xantia. Then a robbery, a gunshot, and blackout. She wakes on cold stone in a glowing blood circle, wearing Lilithia's regal armor and horns for real. A bargain-bin cult calling itself the Children of the Abyss summoned her on purpose — by accident. They wanted a real demoness, not a nerdy girl cosplaying one. They're incompetent, fanatical, and inconveniently the only people who don't want to burn a demon on sight. Lily plans to humor them, learn the world, and bail. Instead, rumors snowball, idiots congregate, and an accidental empire starts forming in her name.

In the year 2057, the world has become a corporate-run utopia for the super-rich and a hellhole for everyone else. Catherine 'Cat' Leblanc is an orphan about as far from super-rich as one can be. When the Incursion alarms start blaring and the sky starts raining hungry xenos, it's just another blemish on an already bad afternoon. A cyberpunk magical-girl alien-invasion LitRPG — exactly as wild as it sounds.

Book 1 — Perseverance: Death is the end. At least, it should be. When Will is ripped from the life he has and the woman he loves, the last thing he expects is to be reborn as a baby with his memories intact. In a world where magic makes the impossible real, how much of his new life is he prepared to sacrifice for the chance to reclaim what he lost? Book 2 — The Fifth Stage: With his hometown behind him, catastrophe on the horizon, and the dangers of adolescence hounding every step, Will has hard truths to confront if he is going to survive long enough for his ambitions to matter.
