Edward Monteger has grown up in a family of scribes, learning about the world through books in his family's shop. Not wanting to be consigned to a life of scribbling or shop-keeping, he strikes out into the wider world.
Set in a fantasy LitRPG world with crafting, mana, and combat, Edward is a scientist at heart without knowing it. Struggling against monsters, humans, and the forces of necromancy, he overcomes hardship to grow as both an individual and an adventurer.
"Arktania" is a virtual game with a steampunk style, where magic spells, enchanted artifacts, steam-powered machines, firearms, and mechanical golems are part of everyday life.
Gamer Andrew Falk begins his journey on the border of Orcish territory. His behavior toward the locals — so realistic they feel like real people — earns him a mysterious class called "Slider" and a divine quest from Elenia, the goddess of fate. But he quickly discovers the goddess's power is not constrained to the game: she can affect the real world to force him to complete her assignments.
With the "Loner" curse meaning he can rely on no one but himself, Andrew must turn Arktania upside down in his quest for five ancient swords.
One fatal collision while rushing for the bus and the protagonist is standing before a goddess, his short life of gaming and sleeping deemed not worth much. In lieu of moving on to the afterlife, a wager is struck: prove that all those hours spent in simulation and management games were worthwhile by taking charge of a desolate, Level 1 village and making it thrive.
Fail or die, and it's back to the grocery store. But that's not going to happen. There's just the small matter of figuring out where to start — and why the mayor won't wake up.

In a broken 1930s New York where magic hides behind skyscrapers and monsters lurk in the shadows, thirteen-year-old Oliver Evans has nothing but a sharp mind, a starving stomach, and an impossible new power: the ability to Analyze anything.

But magic has rules. Guilds hoard power. Monsters roam unseen. And orphan boys from Manhattan aren't supposed to change the world.
Armed with curiosity, stubborn optimism, and an ever-growing collection of bizarre crafting skills, Oliver begins clawing his way upward one invention at a time — cooking magical meals, building impossible items, uncovering ancient systems hidden beneath Earth itself, and gathering allies ranging from eccentric craftsmen to dangerous outcasts marked by society.

For Emily is far more powerful than anyone could have imagined. Not only is she a Mage, she is a Mechanic — her talents combining to create a Technomancer, a being capable of building herself an indestructible body, an army of spell-flinging robots, and her very own time machine.
