The Vex are a monstrous swarm—man-eaters feared across the world and killed on sight before they can grow and consume everything in their path. Rythica is one such monster: a hive queen whose egg was smuggled into a human city and raised in secret by unlikely guardians. Grown up without ever meeting another Vex, Rythica wages a constant internal war as brutal alien instincts clash with the politics, strategy, and mercy she has been taught. As she approaches maturity, the world can only hope that compassion is something that can be learned—because a Vex never forgives and never forgets.

Caught in a web of political intrigue and backstabbing amidst a succession struggle between the Imperial Princes, it will take every ounce of wit she has to stay alive.

Jade was born wrong — a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she's becoming a dragon in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon's food chain by indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing — or die as prey. Humanity is optional. Survival isn't.

Frank isn't exactly a model citizen. He's also not here to save Earth — he just wants his favorite curse word back. Too bad the World Dungeon drops him in as a zombie with a level cap of 1 and a profanity filter that turns every F-bomb into "frank." Earth has been repossessed and rebranded by a megacorp called DungeonCore. The prize is ownership of the planet, and this season is Hardcore Mode: death means getting stuck in his Lair until the next expansion, losing everything. Humanity gets a head start, but deep-pocketed aliens are lining up to buy in. To make matters worse, hero classes went to the NPCs while actual players got saddled with monster classes. Frank spawns as a lowly zombie with only stubbornness, handyman's grit, and an accidental Universe First achievement that lets him build a class of his own. He's not a hero — he's not even technically alive. But he might be petty enough to move mountains for the sake of one four-letter word.

Ether — the cosmic energy that governs the universe — has returned to Earth, and Gaia has awakened with it. Rockland Barkclay was just trying to take a solo camping trip in Algonquin Park after a rough year capped by his father's death, when hovering system messages began appearing and the world started changing. Now humans are in a desperate fight to survive in an evolving world, with the very planet itself acting as an unhinged overseer of the new order.

Lord Lucian Villamar left a trail of misery in his wake — the archetypal entitled rich villain of the turn-based strategy RPG War of Four. Now a new soul who enjoyed challenge runs has entered his body at a rather poor time: the start of the game. His relationship with his father is frayed. Powerful figures in the four major nations all want to see him dead. Conspiracies are underway from both political factions and malevolent powers. And Lucian, devoid of talent, is wholly unprepared for the coming calamities. Maybe our protagonist can plot a route to survive this challenge run.

The power Slate Graystone needs to remain the ducal heir is just out of reach, and he will do anything to get it. Even become a demon. Battling new instincts, ravenous hunger, and struggling to find her place in a world far darker than expected, Slate — now Silk — fights to claim the life she rightfully deserves: one for herself and the mundane folk she was sworn to protect. When Silk learns that the corruption left in the fallen Empire's wake runs far deeper than her own transformation, she must choose between standing by noblesse oblige or tearing the whole system down — and the Sects with it.

Theodore the Babylonian was once the greatest Earth Mage in his world — head of the Order of Architects, two thousand years old, and finally ready to retire. In the course of his long life, however, he had accumulated too many enemies, and they ensured his retirement was fatal. His death was not final. Reborn in a strange new world with all his memories and experience but none of his power, he must climb back to the top — before this world is consumed by the beasts of the Shadow Plane.

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.

Getting isekai'd into a gameworld full of waifus was supposed to be the dream. Unfortunately, the mysterious black-robed figure who did the summoning grabbed the wrong guy, and now the protagonist faces waves of monsters intent on terrible things. The game turns out to be a gacha, which means desperately earning money to pull summons, building fortifications, furnishing a tower, and gearing up — all while grappling with the existential horror of gacha economics. The necromancers who built this game are going to pay. A base-building, summoner-focused isekai with no harem, featuring tower defense mechanics and dark humor.

A VRMMORPG that offered escape, adventure, and a second chance. When Brent Roth suffered a workplace accident that left him immobile, he discovered The Dragon's Wrath — a virtual reality game offering everything he lacked in real life. Inside, as Sigurd, he builds more than just a character. Across three volumes, he carves out a kingdom in the North, wages war, and finds himself mired in a conflict far beyond his control — one man attempting to change the fate of thousands.

Will is the newest dungeon born into the world — and he is a rank higher than any dungeon that preceded him. Born alongside seven others in a small area due to a magical disaster caused by the Voidbringers, Will faces an immediate threat: they have returned, and they can corrupt dungeons. With the aid of his dungeon fairy Amber and an adventuring party led by Gar Adamant — displaced prince of the kingdom the Voidbringers destroyed — Will must grow his dungeon, build up a nearby town, and fend off enemies on every side.

Andy "Duke" Ellington was an exceptional fighter pilot who always pushed too hard — until the end finally came for him. Then he was Elsewhere: a completely different world where magic and stats were his new reality, with no support and only a marginal clue.

He's happy to take them all on — and show everyone what happens when you mess with the Duke.

Sergey navigates the zombie apocalypse across Europe — from Paris to Berlin and beyond — looting everything not nailed down, recruiting an eclectic crew of allies, and slowly realising that the spacetime ocean is far more crowded and dangerous than any zombie horde.

In a world five times larger than Earth, dungeons and their Dungeon Cores have become the top of the food chain. Millions of dungeons utilize humanity as a source of Mana to facilitate their growth; in turn, humans delve into the dungeons to acquire Essence, allowing them to develop and enhance themselves. It is a symbiotic relationship that has lasted thousands of years. Far in the northern wilds, a young man is left alone when his parents are suddenly murdered. Now without friends, family, or supplies, Fredwynklemossering embarks on a journey to discover what killed his parents — and soon learns of his seemingly impossible status as a Dungeon Core/Human hybrid. With that knowledge comes a shift in his objective: the dangers the humans will face in the future dwarf any personal revenge.

Steve wakes with no memories in an open field of dirt, with only a collection of farm tools and bags of seeds to tell him what he's supposed to do.

The world has just undergone a radical change, forcing Steve to fight the undead, bandits, and nature itself as everything falls apart around him. He has an axe, a farm to build, and a mystery he doesn't yet know how to solve.

Out on the frontier of a new continent, the wizard Lori and her group of settlers try to build a community in a land actively hostile to intelligent life. With their wits, their will, and their newly built Dungeon to protect them against the Iridescence — the deadly growth that makes life inhospitable beyond the borders of their demesne — they should be fine. If they can survive the lack of infrastructure. And the deadly beasts they need to hunt for food. And idiots who don't understand what settling somewhere actually entails. And dragons. Using structural engineering, the scientific method, logistics, and the dark art of personnel management, Lori and her newly dubbed lord Rian must solve the persistent problems of shelter, sanitation, food storage, and keeping the colonists from making terrible decisions.

Beasts are rampant, larger threats loom, and Kai must regain his former strength in a time of primitive technology. But with knowledge of the future, he might just be able to change the course of history entirely.

But hidden enemies are already waiting for her and the living starship empowering her. Jasper slips through the cracks of their trap, empowered as well.
