One day the Limitless Path sweeps up Earth into its established structure. Magic and beasts flood the world, making even a trip down the street a potentially dangerous endeavor.

Clyde is thrown into the anime world — a place that exists, humanity just doesn't know it — and declared the Stone, the main character. His mission: kill the Viper, or Earth is finished. This is the comedic tale of a young man versus cliche anime tropes, complete with random girls falling in love over nothing, yanderes, and leveling up just like in an RPG.

On a dark day hated by all citizens of the lower worlds, Aqua is chosen during the Selection Ceremony to participate in the World Expansion — sent to a newly discovered world to explore and document it on a livestream broadcast across the entire Alliance. Things go sideways almost immediately when she awakens not one but two Bloodlines. As they merge, the Abyssal Kraken takes her first dive into the waters of her new world. Aqua must fight to survive in the ocean world of Oceana while navigating constant broadcast scrutiny — and occasionally stepping into the Alliance's entertainment industry through a System Phantom acting in her stead.

Except this time there are no continues, no save points, and no respawns.

When Isabelle and her new friends are thrust into the world of transmigrators, it seems like a blessing. Their new status grants them access to the myriad worlds of the multiverse, the ability to grow stronger, and near-immortality — as long as they don't make a fatal mistake. Every world offers unique magic systems and discoveries. But between each life, they must return to the Market — once the most powerful civilization in the multiverse, now a desiccated ruin with its inhabitants slaughtered by unknown forces. If Isabelle and her friends wish to avoid the same fate, they must grow powerful enough to survive whatever destroyed it.

No empty child has ever survived to a year of age — yet he has reached thirteen. Frail in body but strong in mind, he has been a burden his clan has paid dearly to keep alive, at the edge of civilization where money is scarce.

Angus Bjornson only ever wanted to craft exquisite weapons and armor. After an accident leaves him completely disabled, his children offer him a virtual rig connected to a fantasy world called Alterwelt. Playing on Manual mode rather than Auto, Angus — now known as Hephaestus — can use his lifetime of real smithing experience to create unique items that beat anything on the market. But he soon learns there's a reason the market is flooded with crappy goods: a greedy guild enforces a monopoly on crafting, and they'll do anything to shut down a lone blacksmith cutting into their profits.

The island nation of Yashima is in chaos. Armies march to war, pitting cousin against cousin for power. Sword saints grow deadlier with every battle even as muskets flood the country and transform the average soldier into a lethal threat. One woman towers over the era. Known as the blood-soaked flower of the battlefield, it is said that to see her is to risk madness, and to fight her is to die. Some claim she draws her power from the blood of vanquished foes. Listening to the rumors, the narrator can't help but feel that a plan to secure a comfortable administrative post has somehow gone awry.

So the world ended. Most people say that and mean humans are inconvenienced. Not this time — all matter disintegrated at the atomic scale. The local universe wasn't actually stable; what everyone took for sea level was actually a nice little mountain lake, and when the dam busted, so did everything. Magic is real, qi is real, gods are real — not on old Earth, but souls pay little attention to time and space, so humanity dreamed of it. The closer the shift in reality got to Earth, the closer those dreams got to the new reality. Reality became a video game. And Doyle Huxley became a dungeon. Doyle just wanted a normal life, but some early paths he takes — both literally and figuratively — lead him to becoming a dungeon core. This is his story.

Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.

Jay Luckrun has many interests: street dancing, anime, action movies, comedy, and dashing across rooftops. But after a failed attempt to talk to his crush at her birthday party, he adds dungeon crawling to the list — because the Apocalypse has arrived. A divine creature chooses Jay to become a Champion, granting him a leveling System, stats, Skills, access to dungeon dimensions, and gravity powers that can alter reality. The downside: global assassins want Jay and other Champions dead, and monsters are hungry to break free from their dungeons and raze his world.

When the virtual reality game Pyresouls could not be beaten, it turned very real, unleashing an apocalypse of undead, monsters, and a system of levels and stats onto the world. Years later, Jacob Windsor has fought with sword and shield to survive Post-Collapse Earth, where only ancient Guilt-soaked weaponry can harm the monsters from the game. When an enigmatic artifact capable of sending one person through time falls into his hands, Jacob takes the plunge into the past of Pyresouls itself — armed with knowledge of game mechanics, secret loot, and well-honed swordsmanship. But every choice he makes has long-reaching ripple effects on the timeline.

Sora wakes up on a beach, very far from home. Determined to avoid a fate worse than death, he sets out to save the world — armed with a complete lack of chakra, a strange system driving his growth, and his own sparkling personality.

Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his-luck performer who never wanted to be a hero. Then he pisses off the wrong person and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair, surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, elf assassins, and a System AI that seems more interested in causing mischief than helping. Gifted a mysterious ancient lute after a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of factions seeking its power. Together with his AI companion Screenie and his new barbarian friend Curr, Danny must uncover the truth — and maybe find the place where he finally belongs.
