When the guardian of the United States falls, a new champion must be chosen — and the Galactic Conflict Authority selects one seemingly at random. Hugh Logan is in the middle of teaching a class when he is taken against his will and informed he is now Earth's newest defender against alien invasion. He must give up everything to become a War Core.

When the Archmage Calamvor dies after creating an artificial Dungeon Core, he sets off a chain of events that even the godly High Spirits could not have predicted. His creation — stolen by the most unlikely of creatures — will go on to save the world, one tiny piece at a time. This is the tiniest Dungeon Core in the world, and saving it will probably take a while. Its creatures may not be the fiercest, but they are loyal. That loyalty is tested as dangerous foes come for the Core and the Aether it possesses, while the High Spirits pursue their own agendas and a darkness stirs in the North.

Deep beneath the earth, Corey finds himself reborn as a God Core — a sentient crystal with unusual powers. His new worshipers? A colony of incompetent gnomes scratching out an existence in their underground grotto. Corey soon realizes his gnome denizens are about to become extinct, threatened by blundering adventurers and raiding kobolds who serve an ancient, mysterious rival god. With the aid of a helper sprite and a menagerie of newly evolved creatures, he must protect and guide his gnomes until they can stand on their own. But the kobold army is on the march.

For the last twenty years, Cid served the realm as a city guard. One thing drove him forward: a friend's suggestion, and what he planned to do with his eventual pension.

Rescued from the slums by a kindly Sage, Molly discovers a talent for magic unlike anyone else's. While others chant to shape Root and Structure, Molly sees the symbols in silence. When she awakens her true Affinity — [Epilogue] — she learns her power doesn't just use archmage-level magic. It ends it. Even the gods fear the silence of Epilogue. When her mentor dies, her final wish is simple: hide, enroll in the academy, graduate, find a party, and do not end up alone again. Disguising a divine-level threat as an average hero-in-training is hard enough — harder still when the heavens are watching, waiting for the one mortal who holds the key to their undoing. In a world where only those with a voice are heard, can a mute girl defy the pantheons?

Björk was an ordinary man living an ordinary life — working as a blacksmith in a nation plagued by recurring civil wars, raised with divorced parents, and burning with a desire for something more exciting than his mundane existence. That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

But as she delves deeper into the game, she discovers it hides sinister secrets. If she can't survive the first year, she'll lose more than her own life.

The Gods were believed to be immortal — so far beyond the natural laws of the universe that their crimes went unpunishable. A clock hung over every mortal, counting down to the day the Goddess of Death claimed them. Knell Coda was never born in the normal sense. He came into the world outside the reach of the gods, to a family that had committed the cardinal sin of defying them. Their meddling wound the hands on a new clock — one that hung above the heads of the gods themselves, because of one secret Knell uncovered: the Gods can be tricked, defeated, and killed. To most, seeking the head of a goddess would be madness. To Knell, it is an inevitability.

Remus had plans: build a quiet business empire within the safety of the empire he knew. His family had other ideas. Shipped off to Greltheaven — a dangerous border city filled with opportunity and peril in equal measure — he swears revenge and sets about making the best of a terrible situation. The business fate has handed him is a brothel. Remus intends to make it the most successful one the city has ever seen, and use it as the foundation for something much larger — if the city survives long enough for his plans to bear fruit.

In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd — they're supervillains. School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion. Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots: stealing an ice cream van, destroying the Superstate, and bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. His life transforms from mundane to madcap — an ever-accelerating train ride with no brakes, packed with adventure, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic cosmic horror.

Ten years ago, the world changed. The System brought dungeons and monsters to Earth, and billions were lost.

She killed all the malevolent gods, and now she deserves a break. That's what Godkiller Shallies planned when she started running a tavern to fulfill a promise to an old friend. What was supposed to be a humble establishment for common folk quickly morphs into a gathering hub for the new generation of heroes waiting to be trained. Shallies knows peace will never last and that the gods will never truly stay dead — so she trains these new heroes, preparing them for the next Divine War. One meal at a time.

Five hundred years ago, the system broke magic. Mana went wild, turning the dead into abominations and wrenching all unbound magic from human hands. Monsters once kept at bay roamed free, and the world lost contact with the divine realms. Only a few Strongholds survived as humanity was nearly wiped out. With the slow return of magic, Leo — a young man with the Delver class — explores ancient ruins of the old world, delving deep beneath the earth to find wonders and artifacts lost for centuries. In the dark home of an ancient Archmage, Leo discovers something that shouldn't exist: an item that sets him on a journey into ancient magic and terrifying delves.

When a Great House falls, chaos follows. Rowan watched as a betrayal from within destroyed everything he'd ever known — his home burned, an Archdemon ravaged their lands, and he was left as the sole survivor of a magical lineage spanning millennia. Unawakened and powerless, he could only watch as the other Great Houses carved up what remained. But obscurity saved him. On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened — granted a Trait of unknown power, a Title of unimaginable weight, and an Item of untold worth. As he steps onto his Path, the echoes of his past follow. The passes his family defended were left unguarded too long, and now the encroaching Wilds threaten far more than just the north.

Here comes Zarian, who mostly just wants to make unique friends, learn rare spells, and wreck the plans of gods.

The hardest thing about being a mage of ruin and tempests is having to hold back. Veronica's magic isn't subtle — it's cataclysmic. Specializing in widespread destruction magic, she could tear apart mountains, raze armies, and bury cities. She was the first and only mage to reach the 10th tier, and because of that she was humanity's last hope against the demons. Until the day she fell, alone, as the world burned around her. In her final moments she cast her soul back in time. Now nineteen again, she has years to prepare before the invasion begins anew. She must find allies, raise students, and rally forces to stand beside her — and this time, freed from the curse that shackled her body in her previous life, no one knows how far she can truly ascend.

Garath was a gamer who spent his time adventuring in magical worlds behind a keyboard — until the planet he actually inhabited became drastically more interesting. The ability to shapeshift into a house cat or summon a demon were things that only existed in video games, until they weren't.

He's a quick study, though, and learns fast that this new Earth isn't just fun and games. Garath and a motley crew of friends and neighbors must band together, using their new abilities to hold off increasingly deadly waves of monsters.
