"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.

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. Michael is the scion of a lord — and the soulless cannot hold such a title. 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. Rhidi, a Kafya and member of the dominant IDC race, served in a specialized force during the war's final phase. 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.

Thrust into a dangerous new fantasy world, Will's life becomes a war for survival. He has nothing more than a class called "Soldier" and a strange leveling system he's never seen before. When he stumbles across a dying stranger, a mysterious questline activates, sending him to the front lines where humanity wages war against a ruthless Goblin Horde. There he joins the standing Kadian Army and must forge his name from the fires of legend — facing goblins, hordes of undead, cultists, and demons while climbing through the military ranks.

Arc Sandhurst will become a mech pilot, even if it kills him. After his sister's ship is destroyed by the Pirate Queen of Nepenthe with all hands lost, Arc enters the Imperial Mech Academy on the deathworld Vidako to get revenge — the only path available to the son of a silk-worker who needs the academy's enhancements just to pilot a mech. First he must survive disagreeable roommates, hazing from upperclassmen, the friendship of an imperial princess, and the steaming jungles of Vidako. But the Imperium Stellarum will need every good pilot it can get — because empires are built on a foundation of blood, and the sins of the first emperors are about to come due. Lost fleets lurk on the edge of known space, the ruins of ancient races are spread across long-dead worlds, and enemies thought defeated are gathering their strength once more.

It began as just another evening of fantasy gaming, with James, Karl, Andrea, and the rest ready to assume their roles as wizard, cleric, warrior, and thief. But their gamemaster had something else planned — and the game soon became a matter of life and death as the seven adventurers found themselves transported to an alternate world, inhabiting the actual bodies of the characters they had been playing. Cast into a land where magic worked all too well and dragons were a fire-breathing menace, the young gamers faced a terrible task: the only way home was to find the legendary Gate Between Worlds, guarded by the most terrifying enemy of all.

The land is conquered. A thief and a demon killer run afoul of its new overlord and the wizard that serves him. Now the wizard seeks his life's ambition — an artifact that will make his word law.

Yet the prize lies within the Forest of Giants, grown from the corpse of an empire. There are tales of things that stalk the trees. Tales of those that hunger endlessly. Tales of ogres.

Each year, teens around the country are spirited away to other worlds to fight on their behalf. One government department has been empowered to bring them back. Cole had his entire career planned — another year in the Airborne, then Ranger School, then Special Forces — until his fireteam was plucked from a war in Syria and thrust into a world of demons with an endless appetite for human hearts. Barely getting his squad to safety with the aid of the Department of Otherworld Rescue, Cole joins as an elite operative: venturing into dying, desperate worlds to retrieve stolen children and teens. These worlds run on strange rules enforced by vindictive gods and omniscient systems, filled with monsters, demons, and worse. But playing in their sandbox lets Cole and his team share in their rewards — rewards that could elevate even an ordinary soldier into a one-man army.

The gods were the enemy — slavers who chained humanity. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to ascend. Instead, they nearly destroyed the world. Vast hive cities now serve as the final bastions against a crumbling reality, and within the greatest of them, New Vultun, ascenders wage war to determine the very laws of existence. Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.

A young girl is thrust into leadership as her competence, talent, charisma, and nature prove to be the foundation her people need — even if her own country disagrees. As far back as she can remember, there was another girl in her dreams. When she slept, she saw someone else's life. When she woke, that girl's skills were there in her menus. By nine she could read a language no one else knew. By twelve, she knew numbers no one had taught her. When she was sixteen, she watched her die. A progression story of crafting, kingdom building, political maneuvering, and war — following a charismatic MC's rise from peasant to ruler.

Gods are lazy. After a few hundred millennia they learned to delegate, and so the Heroes were born — useful pawns to handle the messy business of saving worlds. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole save-the-world routine, came home, and decided it wasn't enough. So he sold his services back to the Gods: Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.

Takemi wakes in a battlefield triage tent — bloody, battered, and with no memory of his name, his past, or what happened to him. The battle is not over, and the enemy is not content with victory alone. In an ether-ravaged post-apocalyptic world cast back into the dark ages, feudal lords fight for control over land and resources. Takemi has friends at his side willing to challenge their cowardly leaders and fight for his survival.

Zeke was born into obscurity at the very bottom of a world where magic defines worth. The gap between his low birth and true mastery seems unbridgeable. Yet he refuses to accept his place — even as the path ahead is littered with those who tried and failed before him.
