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.

Rare classes and powerful skills are helpful. Too bad the system doesn't seem built to handle them — what even are all these errors? A team of outcasts and adventurers must rely on their trust in each other — and the bane of all stories, healthy communication — just to survive, let alone understand what the system is doing. They're quickly realizing that not all is as it seems, and the system is doing something to people, to monsters, and maybe even to the gods themselves. Their goal isn't just to survive; it's to make things better.

Paradox is a tiny snake with great potential — the sole creation of the Great Core, hidden away in a small corner of the World Dungeon. Together, he and the Great Core hid from the horrors outside. Then the Coreless found them and tried to steal his creator away. With no other option, Paradox swallowed the Great Core. Only then did he begin to become what he was always meant to be. The Endless Cycle began — and with it, the story of a little snake zealot and his journey to greatness.

The story of Jewel — a dutiful daughter, a kind lady to the people in her village, and an enthusiastic bather. She loves her home in the rural barony of Rochford. She loves her brother and parents. Jewel would be happy to be everything a baron's child should be. Unfortunately, she is also a dragon.

How long will it take for a murdered thief to distill into something monstrous? In this story the darkness only grows stronger, and its reach only grows wider as it expands by devouring the life that surrounds it. A dark fantasy where evil is a where, not just a who — focused on slow progression, undeath, and atmospheric storytelling.

Engineer, double amputee, and now astronaut for NuEarth LLC — Chris is about to complete his life-long dream of being the first man to moonwalk on prosthetics. At least until his rocket explodes on launch. Instead of death, he finds himself in a new world and a new body: three feet tall, covered in blue fur, and with the ability to command the absolute loyalty of any goblin he meets. The one familiar element to this new planet is that it's got a moon — a big one, with forests and seas. Chris sees no reason why death and reincarnation should get in the way of his goal. Armed with an expanding army of fanatical followers and a dubious self-propagating Goblin Tech Tree, he'll stop at nothing to jump-start the Apollo program. But he was brought to this world for a reason, and not everyone is content to leave the goblin king to his own devices.

For more than a hundred and fifty years, Nemon Fargus has served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four Kings and a Queen, two wars, a rebellion, a magic school founded and taught, and countless beast waves and dungeon breaks. Now the one close friend he had left has passed. He's done with their politics and economics. The short, busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf. He wants a refuge — a place truly his own, away from cities, markets, wars, and eager students. He's seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance his spellcraft. We'll see if that happens.

Qube was designed to die. As the cheerful childhood NPC companion who helps the Player learn the world at the start of the game, it was only natural that the big bad would kill her at the end of the tutorial, kicking off the Player's quest for vengeance. The only problem: no one told her that. And this particular Player doesn't like to play by the rules. Being a chaos-loving gremlin, he glitches her out of her programming and drags her along on various adventures — grappling with friendly sharktopuses, Evil Emperors, and the question of what it means to be a person. As Qube breaks the world in increasingly strange ways while seeking to be the very best Companion ever, she slowly realizes that her reality is not quite what it seems. A loving parody of old-school games and every player who has ever thought "what happens if I do this."

Strip away wants, desire, dreams, and hopes. When you peel it back, such things are luxuries only possible when survival is guaranteed. Under the control of the new rulers of her world — as a pawn in a conflict she can scarcely comprehend — survival is not just everything; it is all there is left. Life, of her and her people, was nothing to the aliens if it was not useful. So she would be useful, she would be obedient, and she would survive. In this cosmic war of forces beyond her understanding, she would find a way.

Sky Memoriam is one of the last surviving humans on an Earth ravaged by cataclysm thousands of years ago. In an isolated valley, the remnants of humanity scratch a living from what little nature remains — life is hard, but peaceful, and Sky's days are filled with preparations to assume a role of responsibility. That's what Sky thinks, anyway. When a spaceship from the broader galactic community carrying a modified combat AI designed to interface between humans and Things That Are Better Off Not Thought Of crashes outside Sky's village, life starts getting weird. Also violent. An eldritch punk / horror comedy with light progression elements — numbers go up, but they are not the main focus.

Sandra had been a merchant, but what she always wanted was to be a crafter — master of every trade. When she dies and is reborn as a Dungeon Core, she finally gets her wish in the most unexpected way: a dungeon built entirely around crafting. With a Gnome apprentice enchanter as her ally and the ruins of a world that desperately needs what only she can provide, Sandra must defend her dungeon from orcs, rival cores, dangerous elves, and her own rapidly expanding influence — all while trying to get back to what she loves most: making things.

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.

Timothy is offered an unusual deal: work as a tester for a popular MMORPG — unpaid, long hours — for the vague promise of mysterious future perks. He accepts, because this is the one thing he is truly good at, and because someone he cares about already lives a virtual life. Playing as a small goblin herbalist in the game Boundless Realm, Timothy finds himself rising far beyond a simple tester role, navigating a world where millions of players have it out for him and the game's secrets run much deeper than anyone suspects.

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.

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.

She's a puppy. She's a girl. And she's going to evolve. Waking up one day in a litter of puppies, her human life a fading memory, she quickly falls into the flow of things — playing and hunting with her pack, taking naps, and leveling up. With five siblings who all have unique powers, a protective Dog Mom and three-headed Cerberus Dad, nothing seemed like it could go wrong. That is, until human hunters attack her family and kidnap her brothers and sisters. Now alone in a harsher world, she won't give up — she'll continue to level and evolve, and become powerful enough to take revenge and get her family back.

Charlie had a stable job and wasn't what he himself would call happy — but he wouldn't complain. He was fully expecting to continue his career until retirement. Then he died, in his own home, in his own bed. Now with far more arms and a strange relationship with gravity, Charlie finds himself in Almia — a place he has never heard of. Not quite alive again and in a world he hadn't thought of in more than a decade, he is not sure what to make of it all. But if he has never heard of Almia, that means nothing bad happens there, right? A Pokemon fanfiction based loosely around the Ranger series.

For millennia, two galactic empires have been locked in an interstellar cold war. Dissent is considered treason, and neutrality is incomprehensible. As each empire has expanded, newly discovered sentient species have always joined one side or the other — whether they want to or not. In the year 2028, Earth is the latest planet in the path of expansion. It has barely any space capability, no system defenses, and no allies. The nations of Earth must volunteer to be subjugated, or become the latest battleground in a war that began before the construction of the pyramids. No species has ever succeeded in resisting. Except humans have a saying: the best defense is a good offense.

When forensic accountant SJ is crushed by a rogue tree on her way home from the pub, her death is as absurd as it is abrupt.

Armed with a sassy AI companion named Dave and the questionable skills of a fae assassin, SJ is the one person operating completely free of the System's rules — drawing the attention of local gods, dragons, and everything in between. Finding her footing in a world where reputation matters will be no easy task.

Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.
