Domenic is a sailor who wants nothing more than a life at sea. A brewing war between nations turns the already dangerous seas into something far more perilous, forcing him into an untenable position — one he escapes with his life, though at a greater cost he'll spend the rest of the story reckoning with. A story about the meaning and cost of both servitude and freedom.

Running a restaurant was hard, but it filled Clive's life with meaning — running through a portal was easy, but it filled his life with demons. Weak in a world full of strength, Clive and his friends rely on grit and determination as they navigate a brutal, war-torn land of magic in search of a way home. There is a problem, though: Clive's been cursed. A demonic knife wound catapults them into a race against time to find a cure, fighting their way across Falritas in need of friends and levels like there's no tomorrow. Set in a chaotic land ruled by ruthless gods, complete with game mechanics, a progression system, and empire-building, where demons, werewolves, dwarves, and elves roam.

The apocalypse will be televised. In a flash, every human-erected construction on Earth collapses into a heap, transformed into a dungeon: an 18-level labyrinth filled with traps, monsters, and loot that circles the entire globe. Only a few dare venture inside — and once you're in, you can't get out. Each level has a time limit. But this game isn't about strength or dexterity; it's about followers, views, and clout. Building an audience and killing those goblins with style. You can't just survive here. You gotta survive big. And if you have that 'it' factor, you may just find yourself with a following — and the loot boxes dropped by generous benefactors watching from across the galaxy.

In a world where all magical spells have been captured into cards, those who can build a deck have the most power. The most Arthur could ever hope for was to someday earn a trash-tier spell card. When fate grants him a legendary Master of Skills card, he's thrust into a world of opportunity and danger. To survive and grow strong, Arthur must learn skills — all the skills.

Portals from Overworld have appeared on Earth, and beings intent on conscripting humanity into the mysterious Trials have invaded. Earth is doomed. Jamie Sinclair, a young man with unique gifts, must find a way for his family and friends to survive Earth's destruction and build a new home in Overworld. The Trials are no game—and Jamie must wrestle with brutal challenges and powerful new magics while carrying the weight of humanity's survival.

Second chances are rarely earned and even rarer given. Follow a new life in a new world where anything is possible. The MC wakes up, stuck as a baby, needing to decide how she will live her new life. Let's see what future she can forge when hard work rewards her with status points and skill levels.

Through all of Linaria, no dungeon holds such a grip on the dreams of men as the Eternal Depths. Hundreds throw themselves against its trials each day. Dozens survive, walking away with power and wealth beyond their wildest dreams — until they go back for more. One way or another, they all eventually feed the Depths. Edmund Montgomery Ahab has sworn to destroy it. Underleveled, undertrained, and underprepared, Edmund steps into the maw of the world's greatest predator with a sword in his hand and vengeance on his mind. With every level he earns, every piece of loot that drops, every secret he uncovers, and especially every bit of power he can squeeze from his mysterious connection to the Aspect of Madness, Edmund crawls closer to accomplishing that insurmountable feat. With nothing else to lose, Edmund has already given the Depths his life. All that remains to be seen is whether he takes the dungeon's right back.

Yesterday Ben was a small-time criminal fleecing New York's upper class. Today he has a new face, a new name, and a new world to navigate. He thinks he might be able to use his skills in disarmament and deception to help people this time around. Maybe. Watching a medieval city guard fend off a ten-meter sentient slime blob crawling up from the sewers makes him reconsider his life choices. Tomorrow he needs to rescue a girl, steal a crown, join a guild, and — most importantly — convince an innkeeper to make a decent bacon and cheese omelette.

Aiden lives in Wonderwind, the world's biggest VRMMO. He dropped out of college, ditched real life, and invested everything into a career as a cold, calculated virtual assassin targeting the richest players in the top-500 leaderboard — every kill executed to perfection. Until his headset glitches mid-mission. One lag spike later, rent's due and his landlord is about to kick him to the curb. Aiden realizes his next job might be his last. He logs into a high-level area severely underleveled with trash gear, prepared for one final assassination — and then he didn't expect to fall for his target.

John Gilliam, the Faceless Man, is one of the world's premier assassins—legendary, never failed. When a job goes wrong, he discovers an entire universe beyond what he knows: the Doorverse, where magic and monsters exist and his lethal skills are frail shadows of the powers that be. Now John is an Inquisitor, tasked with traveling the Doorverse and righting the balance on each world he finds. Every world is unique, and he must learn to survive anew each time he steps through a door.

When the system warned the world it was coming a week in advance, Alex couldn't have been more excited. In college for a degree he didn't care about to get a job he didn't want, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the potential cost of death — was the best news he could have imagined. He wasn't ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where even the bugs are stronger than he is. Even with a summoner class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo. Where others saw certain death, he found opportunity.

His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus found us selfish, wasteful, and boorish — blockaded Earth and left behind little more than a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game played in one's sleep. The game, they said, would teach us to be better galactic neighbors. The megacorporations ignored it until they learned the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic and supernatural abilities exploded into existence, and a subscription to the Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine "Kat" Debs doesn't have much, but she wants something more — a chance to claw her way up the rigid social ladder from the arcology where she was raised. When she gets the opportunity to enter the Tower free of corporate control, she jumps at it, knowing the game might be her only path to taking control of her own destiny.

Max Best is a disillusioned Premier League fan whose love of football has been buried under cold statistics and hollow analytics. After rescuing a mysterious old man from a mugging, he's cursed — or gifted — with the ability to see any player's skills and attributes in a heads-up display, along with his own level-ups. What starts as a novelty rapidly pulls Max from the terraces into the world of professional football management, where he must reconcile the passionate fan he was with the calculating strategist he's becoming.

Born magically talentless, Prince Corvus is an embarrassment to the royal family and is removed from succession. However, he still has a chance to win back his throne — the next person to hatch a dragon automatically becomes the ruler, and each member of the royal family is gifted with a dragon egg. But it is the work of a lifetime to hatch one. The first time Corvus touches his dragon egg, he receives an odd notification: he has found a soulbound item and is tasked with an epic quest to hatch it — but only if he can walk the winding path of the dragon mage. Armed with notifications, skill increases, and levels only he can see, Corvus is determined to hatch his dragon.

When Mark Castle died at the hands of a cult, he was reincarnated and forced to become a dungeon core — making his domain a lonely cabin in the woods. With newfound powers, he begins his revenge on the people who murdered him, drawing on the tropes and monster manuals of his favorite horror films. His rule is simple: lure unwitting victims into the cabin, kill them off one by one, and feed his core with their souls. Anyone lucky enough to survive until dawn earns treasure — and their lives. But as Mark feeds and grows, those who hunger for his unique power begin to take notice, and the danger he faces becomes far greater than he imagined.

Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword-and-sorcery world where he was hailed as the Hero of the World after crawling up from poverty to fame and luxury. On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Orphaned as a teenager and later saved by Duke Kinson, Morgan Lovecraft found a new life in the world of Dunnishire — until the day he turned sixteen and discovered he had a death affinity and was a necromancer. The old prejudices ran deep, and Morgan went from having friends to being an outcast all over again. Hoping his scholarship to the Mages Academy will be a new turning point, Morgan finds himself challenged to an honor duel on his first day of classes. Making mortal enemies in five minutes, then being asked by the duchy to speak to the dead, investigate assassination plots, and root out corruption — the former Earth gamer finds himself center stage as The Duchy's Necromancer.

To be summoned to another world, given the class of [Hero], and tasked with defeating the demon king — some people might call that the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to master the sword, grow more powerful than anyone on Earth could dream, and fulfill your destiny. Or not. It turns out that people summoned from another world are easily charmed by the title of "Hero." And they really should not be.

Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.
