Gods are lazy. After a few hundred millennia they learned to delegate, and so the Heroes were born — useful pawns to handle the messy business of saving worlds. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole save-the-world routine, came home, and decided it wasn't enough. So he sold his services back to the Gods: Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.

When Garrett comes to after a close brush with death, he's in a new world — missing an arm and paralyzed from the waist down. The brutal gang lord whose floor he's crashing on wants him gone, and only a plucky young woman and his own wits stand between him and a cold death in the streets. Armed with a system that grants experience for exploring this new world, Garrett is determined to survive by any means necessary — even if it means becoming a villain. But the city is far from what it seems. Terrifying creatures lurk around every corner, immune to conventional weapons, and a strange lucid Dream world keeps bleeding into reality. When it does, Garrett realizes the hostile gangs around him are the least of his worries.

Jay has grown up in a world where dungeons, monsters, and leveling systems are a cultural norm. At twenty, he awakens a Skill that allows him to steal the abilities of monsters — where others are locked into a fixed skill set, he grows stronger after every battle. Follow Jay's journey as he learns more about his unique situation in a world that has grown blind to the real dangers of modern-day dungeon diving.

Royce Melborn, a cynical ex-assassin, and Hadrian Blackwater, an idealistic ex-mercenary, couldn't be more different — but desperate times make for strange partnerships, and sometimes the best friendships are bound by blood. The three volumes posted here follow the rogues-for-hire duo known as Riyria through a series of increasingly dangerous jobs: foiling the assassination of a mysterious noblewoman in an ancient corner of the world; tracking a wealthy baron's missing daughter through the mist-filled streets of a city full of old-world secrets; and racing to stop a disgruntled master craftsman from obliterating the legendary towers of Drumindor. Witty, action-driven, and built on the chemistry between its two leads, these standalone adventures reward both new readers and fans of the broader Riyria world.

The world is in the midst of a golden age. Humanity has been largely united under a single government for two centuries, scarcity has been all but eliminated, and the human lifespan has been extended far beyond what was once possible. Yet cracks have begun to form in this utopia — progress in science has outpaced social values, leading to conflict as the new generation struggles with perpetual disenfranchisement under their all-but-unaging elders. A class of gifted young arcanists are invited to attend a conclave held by the enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea, an ancient organization devoted to pursuing the secret of true immortality. Several participants, including Utsushikome of Fusai — a prodigy of Thanatomancy whose grandfather was once a member — have ulterior motives for attending. Unbeknownst to them, there is a curse on the Order. An uninvited guest may already lurk among them — one that is not human. A whodunnit-style murder mystery with a focus on psychological drama and personal horror.

The gods were the enemy — slavers who chained humanity. With dreams of paradise, humanity slaughtered them and stole their powers, opening the path to ascend. Instead, they nearly destroyed the world. Vast hive cities now serve as the final bastions against a crumbling reality, and within the greatest of them, New Vultun, ascenders wage war to determine the very laws of existence. Avo was born a weapon — a slave to his instincts and his masters, made to burn New Vultun to ashes. Everything changes when he gains immortality and becomes heir to an impossible legacy. To free the world from its chains, he must ascend the megacity and challenge the tyrants who usurped the gods.

A worthless prince with a useless Blessing in a world where deep running waters threaten to pull even the most experienced warriors under. Lucky for him, he's always been a good swimmer.

Awakening in an abandoned lab with no memory of the world, Evelyn is empowered by a system that grants her bloody magical powers in exchange for finishing missions and consuming her enemies. She knows one truth: no matter the cost, she will advance. She will manipulate allies and spread demonic corruption with a smile if that's what it takes to level up. Her first mission is to escape the lab's other newly born creations. But once she steps foot into the outside world, she must contend with people who forbid her existence and will work to eradicate those with her powers from the face of the planet. The outside world may be vast and deadly, but Evelyn will be deadlier.

My name is Xal and I live in the dims, a walled prison where my people are kept by cruel masters until we are needed to fight. One member of every family must answer The Call, for our blood bears the magic of a demonic god and all the terrible power that brings. We march to war against the Fomori — an unstoppable army of giants and their behemoths. If we do not, our families are put to death. If by some miracle I survive, I will be granted entrance to the Imperial Academy, where every noble house will vie to architect my end. They fear the rise of another dreadlord. And they are right to fear. I will pull down an empire — and that is just the beginning.

Being a goon in Gotham is a death sentence with a delay. Jean has spent nearly his entire life scraping by as a crook, headed for nothing but an early grave. Then a chance to change everything falls into his hands. This is the rise of a goon who's done surviving and is ready to take Gotham by storm.

Roark von Graf — hedge mage and lesser noble of Traisbin — is one of only a handful of Freedom fighters left, and he knows the Resistance's days are numbered. But when a daring plan to unseat the Tyrant King goes awry, Roark finds himself on the run through an interdimensional portal, stranded in an ultra-immersive fantasy video game called Hearthworld. He can't log out, his magic is on the fritz, and worst of all, he's not even human — he's a low-class Dungeon monster called a Troll. He did manage to grab a powerful magic artifact on his way through, and with it he might just be able to save his world. Unless, of course, the Tyrant King gets to him first.

While waiting on a train platform, rude and cranky musician Seiji found himself snatched up alongside a high schooler named Yoshi and transported to Ephemera, a world of magic and adventure. The good goddess Sanora chose Yoshi as her Hero. Her wicked sister Virya chose Seiji as her Dark Lord. Seiji has no interest in playing along — but Virya promises to make him beg for death if he refuses. Forced to make just enough progress toward world domination to keep his sadistic patron off his back, while avoiding going so far that he can't strike a deal with the forces of Good, Seiji walks a razor's edge. His true enemy was never the naive Hero from his own world. It was always the goddesses.

Nic has been Selected — chosen to leave his own body behind, become a monster, and serve as a footsoldier for the System's integration of new worlds. His mission: help break the native inhabitants of a planet called Earth into submission. But Nic has never loved the System, and his home planet is a depleted husk the System long since forgot. Arriving under blue skies and green forests, he might just fall in love with this strange world — leaving him with few friends and a thousand enemies.

Something is wrong with the world. Beyond the eldritch horror encroaching from beyond and invasive man-eating aliens, the Federation of Man just isn't right. Superheroes aren't much of heroes anymore, and super villains — well, they just aren't super. The Federation is desperately lacking a proper villain. Luke was fine being a cashier, watching villainy be made a mockery of by amateurs. But after being robbed, electrocuted, and beaten all in the same week, some screws got knocked loose. The state of villainy is not fine, and Luke is bored, crazy, and stupid enough to believe he can change it. A mystic entity called the Architect apparently agrees — planting a system on Luke that wants only one thing: evil done right.

Shoved into a world where death can come in the blink of an eye, shoved into a body that wasn't mine, and shoved into a situation I really would have liked a heads-up on before being shoved into it. Nothing to do but tough it out and go with the flow while navigating a world that shouldn't exist — and figuring out just which version of it this actually is.

The world has ended, and those worthy of it have received a chance for new life in a new reality — the Infinite Realm. Zach grew powerful in the post-Framework world, becoming a respected leader. But as the world ended, his only thought was to punish the monster who had killed it. Not even his incredible power was enough to stop the World Ender. Ryun survived by pushing harder than anyone. He became the most powerful being to ever walk the planet — and is hated for it, called the World Ender by all. Stepping into the Infinite Realm, where beings stronger than him have lived for centuries, he finds himself lost and without purpose. Two men. One world that fell. And a new one that may follow.

Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, attempted to create a spell far surpassing the magic he inherited from his grandfather. The interference of an unknown event during casting hurled him through space and time — into a world where status screens are accepted as normal and class distinctions are matters of life and death. Leveling beyond farmer or peddler requires years of brutal training. Goblins are no fodder, orcs fill children's nightmares, and a dragon? You might as well move countries. Rainer, however, arrives with the rare and powerful class of Arcanist — and an insatiable hunger for greater heights.

A young man wakes up inside the body of a character from his favorite isekai anime — except not the hero. He's Aren Ulvani, the villain: a once-in-a-century prodigy, master Arcanist, blessed by the god of magic, commander of an empire, and fated to a tragic end. Armed only with his knowledge of anime tropes and the body of a twelve-year-old, he has to decide whether he can rewrite a story that seems determined to play out exactly as written.

Alexa is a woman in her early twenties shaped by a brutal upbringing into the ultimate thief — precise, fearless, adaptable, and passionate about art as a form of truth. When her reality shatters and an immortal being capable of unraveling matter begins hunting her, that same passion awakens a dominion over Artistic Creation. With newfound magic and a hidden parallel world lurking beyond the veil — a twisted reflection of our own — Alexa must adapt quickly to survive. For her, it's simply another challenge. She has always loved those. The story follows her progression from daredevil thief to reality-bending archmage, including an eventual ability to split her consciousness across multiple bodies.

The legendary Gorgon Medusa spends a solitary life on her island of Sarpedon, interrupted only by the occasional expedition of foolish humans seeking to slay her for fame and riches. Everything changes when one such expedition brings along an unusual woman — a priestess of Athena born blind, and utterly unafraid of the Gorgon. Forced into an unexpected coexistence on the small island, the two dissimilar women must navigate opposing ideologies, the interference of mortal and divine outsiders, and emotions neither anticipated. As their bond deepens, the gods themselves take notice — and gods rarely make things simpler.
