The Aspects are long dead — the venerated creators of reality are no more. Yet the final scheme of their slayer, the deceased Betrayer, seeks to grind all they ever made to dust. And the truth is, it is working. Slowly but surely, the end of all things has been growing closer throughout the eons. The last Hope is a desperate gamble: for one of the first children of the creators to cast their very soul into reincarnation and perhaps return as something strong enough to stop the end. If there ever was any chance to begin with.

He died a nobody. Now he's reborn in a body beaten and left for dead — no family, no food, no future. In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn't just respected, it's survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war. Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life. The road ahead is long and unforgiving — but with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater: growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.

Keiran of the Night Vale has staved off death for two thousand years, but even he's reached his limits. His body is old and failing. While the flesh fails, his mind and magic remain as sharp as ever, and he bends his prodigious talents toward reincarnating into a fresh, young body. He awakens in a wasteland where mana has become a scarce resource, hoarded by those in power — and without mana, he's no longer a mage. With each passing week he regains more of his old strength, but standing in his way is a cult-like nightly mana tithing, a governor with secrets of his own, and an unforgiving desert full of monsters. Keiran didn't become an archmage by accident, and he's willing to use every dirty trick he knows to claw his way back.

The king is dead; his heir is too young to assume the throne. Jarl Vale wants to become Lord Protector, spurred by his ambitious brother Konstans. Jarl Isarn likewise seeks this power, aided — or thwarted — by the return of his brother, the knight and war hero Athelstan, whose squire Brand hopes to restore his family's fortunes, cost what it may. Through all of this, an enigmatic traveller makes plans with jarls, scribes, and priests for his own purpose. Abroad, powerful forces sense division in the realms of Adalmearc and make their own plans. War is on the horizon.

A young woman from Earth dies and is reincarnated as the daughter of a poor farming family in the kingdom of Bergond. Born with an unusual gift for bardic magic — able to mend wounds and heal the sick through mana — she must navigate a world of dark lords, dungeons, uncaring nobles, and endless war. With only her wits, her magic, and knowledge from a previous life, she strives to survive and protect those she loves in an unfair and uncaring world.

For Heather Morell, nightmares and hallucinations have lurked around every corner since childhood — relics of schizophrenia and bereavement. Until she meets Raine and Evelyn, self-proclaimed bodyguard and bad-tempered magician, and learns she's not insane at all. The spirits and monsters she sees are real. The god-thing in her nightmares is teaching her how to surpass human limits. And her twin sister, who supposedly never existed, could still be alive somewhere Outside — beyond the walls of reality.

A single slip is all it takes. But the consequences of falling from a rock wall are usually broken bones — not waking up in the body of a dragon.

Adopting the name Draka, the newly minted dragoness begins to explore the forests, mountains, and villages surrounding the city of Karakan. To not only survive but thrive, she must spread her wings, discover the joys of growing her hoard, and learn to handle the seductively draconic voice encouraging her to find violent means to any ends — while overcoming her intimidating shape to form alliances with the human adventurers she meets.

They took his tongue, and with it his song and his sorcery. They threw him to the lions, expecting him to die. Mauled, mutilated, and bereft of magic, Arn survives. A prisoner in Aquila, the northern skald has lost all his powers. But a felled tree can regrow, a destroyed house can be rebuilt, and a broken man can be made whole. The method is forbidden magic, and the price is life's blood. With each death by his hand, Arn will claw his powers back — little by little — aided unwittingly by his new masters, who have only one use for him: the arena.

A party of four set out to destroy the wicked Exaltare, ruler of the Vampires: the Stardust Champion Mizar, a virtuous priest, a retired knight, and a lady Wizard whose wisdom and knowledge proved invaluable. Yet just before they stormed the palace, misfortune befell them — and the Exaltare's lair would not permit two to face its master. Instead of the death he expected, what awaited the surviving hero was mercy, a new role, and a cruel twist of fate as his new life began — as the Exaltare's daughter.

If you're one to travel the roads, you may have heard of me — the Skystrider who walked with the wind, the Voiceless man of song without speech, the Tutor who taught the Lion of Summer how to fight, the Traveler who has walked all roads of the earth. I have spoken languages lost to time, sung to the earth, outwitted Demons, and danced with the Fae. My songs have been heard by lords of wind and ash, and my steps have echoed in the bellies of gargantuan beasts. People have branded me a myth. But I'm no legend. I'm just the bard stupid enough to poke the real ones with a stick.

Dungeons are an integral part of so many stories and worlds — the foundation of an economy, a place for the weak to grow strong, or a threat to civilization itself. Nearly as common as the idea of a dungeon is the concept of a dungeon core. But where did dungeon cores first come from? Are they a natural occurrence? When did they first appear? This is the story of the first dungeon core.

It was a world of sword and sorcery, but that was a thousand years ago. The last elves live on reservations. Dwarven forges have turned to clockwork and steam. New technologies and advanced magics have made the world smaller, safer, richer, and more polluted — dungeon delving can only be done with the proper permits. The Age of Adventures is over. Until it suddenly begins again. Without warning, the gods call forth two new paladins into a world at peace where there are no demons to slay, and the bureaucrats and industrialists who run the world are less happy to see them than the kings and queens of old. In a cramped landscape of complicated politics where adventurers are no longer welcome, what are the mighty warriors of the gods even supposed to do? Well, first, they're sent to school. And it all goes downhill from there.

A powerless man, thrown about by a world he had no say in and unable to change his circumstances, is reborn as a newborn dragon with the potential to finally be truly free. Escaped from the grasp of higher powers and not keen to be another cog in the machine, he uses his cumulative knowledge and new talents to survive and carve his own path. Misfortune still follows him, however. Higher beings are keen on interfering with his existence, his own instincts and impulses as a dragon contradict his human mind, and old problems he thought he had left behind come back to haunt him. This is a story of exploring identity, the self, and the world — with a complex magic system and an unhinged, scientific approach to studying it.

Another death, another world, another chance to live a peaceful life. All he wants is to practice magic and go fishing. A pleasant, quiet existence nobody should complain about.
