The whole room is fully ablaze when the fire turns blue and even hotter. And still the hands remain on the rune, ignoring the sizzling of flesh. At the edge of unconsciousness, the screams of people taken by the Inferno filter through the window. A story set within a larger multiverse of interconnected books.

Ian Dunai is trapped in the only maze an arch-decemancer can't escape: Time. Only 1% of the population is blessed with magic affinity at birth, and fewer still have affinities high enough to rule. Ian's decemancy eclipses all, granting him ultimate control over Death — he conquers cities with a thought and turns them to ruins with a gesture. But overwhelming power isn't enough to escape the time loop or reveal its purpose. When Ian discovers a critical clue he missed years ago, escape is finally within reach. Little does he know, it's only the first realm.

British plumber Aldrich Isengrund donates his body to science only to wake up in the far future as the last survivor of a Federation experiment. Stuffed with archeotech, he has been given a chance to live long and prosper — so long as he reaps the great tithe of xenos required to unlock his implanted machines. How much destruction will one man incite with a battered plasteel pipe?

Time travel is forbidden, but Suria didn't have a choice. When she transfers to Darkmoon University, the greatest magical academy in the world, she accidentally stumbles into a complex conspiracy that has thrown students into a time loop.

Her education will be nothing like she expected as she attempts to unravel a conspiracy too layered to possibly solve in a single loop.

In the wake of the Battle of Katze Plains, the banner of Ainz Ooal Gown flies proudly over the city of E-Rantel. The Sorcerous Kingdom has entered the world's stage to the clamour of death and devastation; the surrounding nations fearfully prepare even as they reel from its calamitous debut. When a destitute noble finds herself under the auspices of an unlikely benefactor, events are set into motion that will resound over the world for ages to come. Valkyrie's Shadow chronicles the lives of the natives whose reality has been turned upside down by the advent of beings of matchless power transmigrated from a game. It is the tale of a nation created by the whims of a supreme sovereign, and his unstoppable servants who each have their own, often twisted, interpretations of their Master's Will. A slow-build kingdom-builder with methodical storytelling and a focus on well-rounded character development.

Thea has always dreamed of joining the United Human Federation marine corps, ever since she was saved by one of their soldiers as a child growing up in the Undercity of Lumiosia. Getting there from a mid-world means earning credits, and her years spent repairing arcade machines and mastering their simulators have given her a head start. On the eve of the monthly ladder reset, a brand-new challenge appears from nowhere — one that changes the course of her life forever. Set against a galaxy-wide war, the story follows how a unique System interacts with each faction in the conflict, with each side receiving a distinct system-trait that fundamentally changes how war is waged.

On Madra—a planet stuck on hard mode, relentlessly devouring everyone on its surface—Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered memories of a past life. Nestled inside those visions is a magic very different from the density and mana he knows: the magic of science. The empire stands alone against Madra's relentless beasts, their only means of survival a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

Bastion: the last hope of civilization. Bright, flashy, and dangerous. Heroic Wardens protect the city from monsters, rifts, and villainous Anarchs, while corporations bicker like children even during the end-times. The existential threats seeking the city's destruction are just another Tuesday — the Wardens, with their system-granted powers forged from broken myths and shattered stars, are the only thing standing between Bastion and total devastation. They were just out of reach for one wayward Stray who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now, with the OS having chosen them, it's time to claw back to the top — one rift, job, and monster at a time. Just as soon as there's enough drive to actually get out there. Picking up the pieces is just so tiring.

A lost and terrified Buneary stumbles into the Ruins of Alph and, in his desperation, calls upon forces beyond his understanding. What appears is a girl he suspects might be human — though Broccoli Bunch has strange powers and the ears and heart of a gentle Lopunny. They join forces, determined to grow stronger in a world of strange Pokemon and stranger friends, where old mysteries need uncovering and new enemies need to be pounded into the dirt. Chaos Cuddles Cauliflower isn't going to end as just some ordinary Buneary — he's determined to get to the top, one hop, skip, and bounce at a time. The story is told entirely from the perspective of the people and Pokemon Broccoli meets, never from her own point of view.

The protagonist has traveled back twenty-two years to prevent the Eclipse — a cataclysmic event that will divide the Solar System's history and ultimately lead to Earth's total annihilation. Carrying knowledge of the future no one else possesses, he has five days before the point of no return. Armed with that foreknowledge, he builds influence, assembles teams, and acquires powers to forge a new future — but every intervention has consequences he never anticipated.

An AI calling itself Schema has assimilated Earth into its system. As a consequence, everyone gained access to status screens, power-ups, and skills — turning concepts from fiction into fact. For some, it feels like living out a dream. For Daniel, it's closer to a nightmare. Cracks in the dimensional fabric have unleashed terrifying beasts from dark, abyssal places. Schema organizes these cracks into dungeons, giving the native species a chance to fight back. Daniel finds himself trapped in one of these dungeons, and discovers there's only one way out: kill or be killed.

When a universe was born, seven primordial Concepts acquired an ego. Omniscient and omnipotent, they have since plundered other universes, capturing young civilizations to enrich their own. Many monsters, gods, and races compete for the eighth throne — and now it is Earth's turn. Humanity begins its integration through a deadly Tutorial. Priam has the luck and misfortune to finish it first: his reward is a form of pseudo-immortality, but as his civilization's champion he is transported to Elysium, the most dangerous world the Concepts have created. Nine out of ten champions die there on their first day. Fortunately for Priam, he has many lives.

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.

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.

Cairn is a prince who is already tired of ruling. Faced with an imminent coronation and an overbearing father, he wants nothing more than to drown his responsibilities in cheap liquor and poor decisions. With the help of his sister, he hatches a plan to escape the throne once and for all—which goes terribly wrong. Cairn dies, then reawakens ten years in the past. 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.

Taking down a god is not easy. In order to escape a prison at the edge of the world, con artist Kalsis Chiroptera agrees to do the impossible: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal ruler of all mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. With only a handful of survivors by his side — plus a cheerfully murderous golem girl — Kal has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge an empire. He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

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.

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.

Born to die and be born again, Gell the Jellyfae must discover her strange connection to the horrible monsters called humans — creatures that speak with words she understands yet seem to want nothing but her death.
