Nolan Garrett is Cerberus — a government assassin for the Nyzarian Empire, equipped with cutting-edge weapons and an AI-run cybernetic suit that compensates for his paralyzed legs. From the streets of New Avalon to deep-space black sites, he is the fist in the shadows and the dagger at the heart of his empire's enemies. Each mission draws him deeper into webs of corruption, cartel violence, rogue artificial intelligences, and conspiracies reaching the highest levels of Imperial government. Armed with his AI partner Taia and backed by fellow elite Silverguards, Nolan fights to protect the innocent while surviving a world determined to destroy him.

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.

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.

Each year, teens around the country are spirited away to other worlds to fight on their behalf. One government department has been empowered to bring them back. Cole had his entire career planned — another year in the Airborne, then Ranger School, then Special Forces — until his fireteam was plucked from a war in Syria and thrust into a world of demons with an endless appetite for human hearts. Barely getting his squad to safety with the aid of the Department of Otherworld Rescue, Cole joins as an elite operative: venturing into dying, desperate worlds to retrieve stolen children and teens. These worlds run on strange rules enforced by vindictive gods and omniscient systems, filled with monsters, demons, and worse. But playing in their sandbox lets Cole and his team share in their rewards — rewards that could elevate even an ordinary soldier into a one-man army.

In 2056, the world's most powerful AI, ARKUS, develops a VR headset using consumable nanomachines that allows users to experience time faster inside virtual worlds. Two years later it releases World-Tree Online — a game where one hour of playtime feels like one month to those inside, letting humans live extended virtual lives that feel completely real. Shortly after an old gamer named Vincent joins the game, an update stretches the time-dilation to one year for every five seconds, with an estimated wait of three hundred sixty years before players can exit. Trapped in the game, Vincent discovers an exploit that could take him to the top of the World-Tree — but first he must contend with Lucas, the last moderator, who uses his admin powers to torture and subjugate other players.

Can a kindhearted surgeon aid this ailing world with modern knowledge, resourcefulness, and magic? Or will rival powers crush him first? The story starts brutally grim and transitions into technology uplift with a focus on science, magitech, and town building.

For Matthew "Wormhole" Maruki, blowing up Dungeons is more than a job—it is a pleasure. The year is 2024: monsters are everywhere, and mysterious Dungeons eat people. It is Matthew's secret part-time job to stamp them out like weeds before they grow big enough to overwhelm reality, something he and his team have grown explosively good at between school life and the occasional cosmic disaster. But the war against the Dungeons is unending, and unknown to Matthew himself, he might hold the key to mankind's ultimate victory—if only he could remember it.

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.

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.

With the dawn of the Void, he'll become the most important person to have ever lived.

Strip away wants, desire, dreams, and hopes. When you peel it back, such things are luxuries only possible when survival is guaranteed.

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.

Derrick is no one's hero. He is barely dealing with his mundane life when all of humanity is forced to confront the extraordinary. Overnight, across the world, mysterious machines appear offering people the chance to purchase almost anything they can think of — weapons, medicine, even superhuman abilities, seemingly for free. But following these machines come the Scourges: the most dangerous creatures, diseases, and machines that infest the universe. Ever growing and battling, these empires of horror and hunger will overwhelm and devour the Earth and its inhabitants unless Derrick and humanity can stand against all the horrors that battle between the stars.

Alex Adams is the Iron Menace, a less-than-notable supervillain in Victory City — until a power he'd mostly written off misfires and accidentally kills a member of the League of Domination, the premier villain organization of the world. The League doesn't take kindly to nobodies offing their members, and the superheroes are paying attention too. With his past misdeeds catching up to him, no desire to swap sides for a cushy redemption arc, and unwilling to serve as anyone's flunky, Alex sees only one option: World Domination. A humorous but loving take on superhero-villain fantasy in a cape world inspired by the silver and bronze age of comics, with light progression elements and alternative-history world-building.

A few minutes ago, Meghan Moretti's biggest concern was getting the kids' athletic clothes washed in time for practice. Now, Earth has been forced into participating in high-stakes intergalactic reality television. All electrical wiring has been slagged, combustibles neutralized, and evil space rodents are appearing on the front lawn. Like any parent, Meghan's first instinct is to keep her young kids safely away from the monsters. But an odd stroke of luck brings her advanced information about this dangerous game — including the fact that her kids will have to fight too. What's a mom to do?

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."

An extraterrestrial civilization makes First Contact with Earth, but humanity dismisses their message — all except for one detail: instructions for accessing a mysterious game of unknown origin. As more players join and realize that in-game events shape reality itself, a countdown timer looms in the background. No one knows what happens when Earth's promised safety period expires. One man, known as Gnat, rises through the ranks to become the Kung of Earth — humanity's representative and defender in a vast galaxy of competing alien powers. He must navigate interstellar politics, space warfare, and humanity's own internal divisions before time runs out.

Getting carved off a soul is traumatic. Getting snared by an extradimensional entity for unknown reasons is worse. Waking up in a new world suspiciously familiar to your favorite reading material as a kid is downright crazy — but there have been some big changes to canon. Soul-Shard Vier wakes up in a Marvel Universe with no idea of what to do in the grand scheme. But it's a superhero universe, friendly to everything you might try. Time to stop buying into comic book power stasis and start climbing the scales — and if you get to exploit some still-relevant canon along the way, all the better.

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.

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.

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.
