When Zareth first realized he had been reborn into a world that ran on video game mechanics, he was ecstatic — he'd expected danger and adventure. Instead, he spent much of his new life on the streets of Tal'Qamar before eventually becoming a Cultist to Cerebon, God of Flesh and Transformation. Being a Cultist to the God of Flesh turned out to be much less exciting than hoped, and Zareth spent most of his time helping rich women smooth their skin. Just when he had given up hope, everything changes when the city enters a period of sharp political turmoil — and Zareth is dragged right into it.

Cal was awoken in a new world years ago, and his second life has not been a smooth one. Now he's been called upon to complete a covert military assistance mission — except that means being marooned at the heart of the enemy, saddled with a fake identity and a fake family, attending a hybrid magical college-highschool for nobles. Balancing the demands of student life while secretly investigating a plot that could doom the Academy and the city around it is a tall order. Failing a class or two doesn't seem so important when demons might burn everything down. Not everyone agrees with him on that.

Five years ago, Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those who reach the top will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor on a mission to find his brother. If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement — but that won't be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that, he's going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.

Liv Brodbeck is too small, too fragile, and—according to everyone—a burden on her mother from the day she was born. A bastard child in a castle kitchen with no prospects.

The world is in ruins. Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal.

Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two must set aside their differences while they struggle against gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

But fate runs a twisted course, and instead he is whisked away to the far-off Iron Teeth Mountains.
