As their souls linger on the edge of the afterlife, a mysterious force intervenes — merging their fragmented souls into a new being: Rusty, a living suit of armor. Affected by the memories and presence of both predecessors, Rusty embarks on his own quest. Will he seek revenge for the Hero's betrayal, fulfill the fallen Demon King's desires, or forge an entirely new path?

Almost half a century has passed since prison ships discovered the mysterious Tower rising out of the Indian Ocean, known as Gaia. Monarchies and trading giants came together to build a city around it and contain the monsters spilling out of its rune-covered structure. The few who dared enter and climb it learned the magic of Gaia's runic cards. Most people enter the Tower seeking fame, fortune, or power. Not Diya Sen. He climbs hoping to find clues about his missing brother and to solve Gaia's mysteries — but warring noble houses stand in his way. Perhaps the talents of a Spell Thief will help where the direct approach cannot.

Eighteen-year-old Callum Stross never asked to become a hero. When a devastating aetherstorm strikes, he seeks shelter in a cursed manor and discovers a dormant Aethercore tied to the bloodline of the legendary Demonslayer.

With demonic aetherbeasts rising and warlocks spreading corruption through forbidden Demoncores, Callum must travel to the capital's elite Great College to uncover the truths hidden in his bloodline. Because the Second Demonswar is coming — and this time, no one's ready.

Julia is a practical person. All she wanted was a home and family to call her own — a small piece of the world she could say was hers. Instead of arriving home one evening, she finds herself in the Abyss, trapped inside a cursed body. The curse may have caught her, but she certainly won't let it — or anyone else — tell her how she has to live. To escape, she will need to become strong enough to descend to the Abyss's deepest reaches, where the most dangerous secrets lie in wait. There is darkness in the Abyss, and a darkness within her that might draw it in — but she'll need to risk its strength if she ever wants to get home.

Hull is living on the streets of Treledyne, scraping by and searching for cards from the Demon Realm — the only ones he can wield — hoping to build a deck powerful enough to take revenge on those who wronged him. Basil is a noble's third son with no path to glory, pinning his hopes on the Rising Stars Tournament to raise his soul to Rare and step out of his brothers' shadows. When these two young men duel, they set each other on a path to greatness neither could have imagined. In a world where every accomplished soul leaves a card behind, the one with the most cards has the most power — and the Orc tribes are gathering on the horizon.

When Aiden and a group of people are summoned to another world to stop the Demon King, the last thing he expects is for his brother to become the Demon King himself.

Armed with past experiences and knowledge, he has a second chance, and he has no intention of letting his brother become the Demon King again. The only problem: he doesn't think he's the only one who came back.

He was born in a dark place, in a world where souls were traded like coins and a person's life wouldn't amount to much. A world where a single misspoken promise could rip you to shreds. On top of everything, his only soul was acting up and mocking him.
