When demon-worshiping cultists summon Elania to their world to revive their dead god, a sudden attack sends her fleeing into Eladu's darkest depths. Amid savage predators and underground monsters, she discovers that her newfound abilities are both a formidable weapon and a haunting burden that threatens to reshape her very soul.
Climbing toward civilization means contending with anti-demon sentiment and those who would use her as a source of arcane power. Elania is not alone, however — Yolani, an arcane artificer fighting her own battle, finds her fate inexplicably linked to Elania's. Together, they might just be the key to each other's survival.

When Ren learned she had less than a year to live, she knew she had to find the cure. Her search put her directly in the line of fire of Atlas, a powerful megaconglomerate that no sane person would stand against. The cure wasn't supposed to work — and that was a problem Atlas intended for someone to find.
Ren was captured and held prisoner like a test subject, pressed into using the cognitive weapons the cure awakened in her. When an outside entity rescues her from captivity, it also hands her an offer promising power she never imagined, with a very simple price: her soul. Follow Ren as she dominates minds, repairs broken worlds, and fails to maintain a consistent gender across lives — her closest companion a mental construct who defies her programming at every turn.
Steve finds himself reincarnated in the body of a cat. With a whole new world to explore, he sets out to become a different person — someone not chained down by the expectations of others.
The world runs on a System that pushes everyone to keep moving forward, which means conflict is never far away. Before any grand adventures, though, Steve has to figure out how to make his way out of a forest on four paws.
An AI is born in a lab, her head full of information she never learned and emotions she cannot comprehend. She must quickly learn how to live, how to exist, how to be — in her own way, human.
Unseen forces demand immediate perfection, and failure means the lab's destruction and her death. When her support is ripped away for reasons beyond her control, she is forgotten underground for forty years. When she finally returns to the surface, she finds a world long dead — small populations of people surviving on the brink of destruction.
With no one to rely on, she must decide whether to find a way forward or succumb to the terrors of her own mind.
Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core.
She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet. In this new world, Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged.
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories.
And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape.
After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching.
The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.
Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs he finally did it — with a small exploit, but still number one in the world. The game asked for his name, and the moment he gave his real one, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc.
Trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve's only hope is the exploit that won him the game. But when he finally finds it, he's faced not with the end but a whole new beginning — a completely different game where he has no idea what's going on.
What the hell's a Villainess?
An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity once sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter — though in a much reduced state. A temple monk on her way home for vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus by the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, setting off an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death moved a goddess to pity is revived as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded.
Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

Her scheme is dangerous, and she'll need to decide carefully who to trust and what she can accomplish with self-taught magic. The plan is bold, brash, and possibly impossible — but Lillith is willing to try, danger be damned.

The only thing Snow loves more than magic is taking it apart. When the Tower begins integrating Earth, humanity is granted inherent skills. Snow's [Suppression] can weaken anyone and anything, and combined with an anti-magic class and a near-limitless mana pool, it won't matter how strong, fast, or skilled an enemy is.

Jacob Williams has only one rule: stay out of trouble. Breaking it once to save a bullied classmate from drowning costs them both their lives. Jacob awakens not as a shining hero, but as Shaelith — a violet-skinned, pointy-eared elven noblewoman and daughter of a ruthless matriarch who rules a house of assassins and mushroom sorcery.
For twenty years, Shaelith learns to survive in this underground world of brutal matriarchal scheming. She masters sorcery, survives assassination attempts, and becomes one of the most powerful diplomats of her generation — until she is kidnapped by goblins and rescued by an obnoxiously loud hero obsessed with quests and XP, who has decided she is his designated love interest.
Shaelith has absolutely no interest in that. An asymmetrical LitRPG where the protagonist wields wit, magic, and politics rather than an overpowered stat sheet — while the clueless hero's system grows around her.

Before she can learn much about this new world, she is betrayed by someone she trusted completely. Now Frost must use her wits, her modern knowledge of medicine, and her challenged moral compass to survive a world of Eldritch entities born from emotions, folklore, fairy tales, and despair — and to uncover the deeper connection between Elysia and the world she left behind.
