Two years ago, Corey Vash got abducted by aliens. A few months later, mostly by accident, he saved the universe. The parades and free drinks are long over, leaving his crew of bounty hunters with nothing but the expectations of a frightened galaxy and the overbearing attention of governments who want picture-perfect heroes. Now a murderous new threat is stalking their every move, forcing Corey and the crew of the Wild Card Wanderer to move past the bullets, booze, and blind luck that kept them alive — and become actual heroes, even if they aren't very good at it.

They asked Amber to become a magical girl three times. She refused. That only made her more interesting. The fourth time, she asked them.

After a short-sighted endeavor to quietly make some money, Maxis Troy finds himself a target of the Brotherhood of Cain — a violent gang led by a man renowned worldwide as the Grim Reaper. Luck appears to be on his side when a girl with her own agenda comes to his aid.

For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods: sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods offer relics in return. But this world of powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant — until masked cultists try to sacrifice him to the gods. Vowing revenge, Dain commits the ultimate taboo: creating his own altar. Only, he accidentally creates one for a god who shouldn't exist — a god that will only trade him cursed relics. Dain will scour the world, hunt magic beasts, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics as he digs deeper into the ancient schemes behind the cultists who tried to destroy him.

Meryll Watkins is a corporate IT consultant on her way home to Titan after an exhausting business trip on Mars. After a run-in with security, she's ready to spend the first wing of the flight getting some well-earned sleep. When she wakes up, she finds herself floating in an empty void with several new cybernetic implants jutting from her skin — and when she closes her eyes, she can see a dizzying display of data and machinery. She has somehow ended up inside an unfamiliar starship, acting as its living central processor. Coaxing the ragtag crew to release her back into the physical world, she discovers she's been unintentionally recruited by a band of pirates who mistook her for a human-like ship core. What follows is an exploration of her bizarre new existence, the day-to-day life of a space outlaw, a grand conspiracy, and the importance of an imperfect found family.

Elder Hu Xin, the Crimson Saint of the Pathless Night Sect, is missing — not physically, his body is still walking the sect like he owns the place. But behind his eyes, a stranger is panicking, because his transmigration experience came with no instructions and none of Elder Hu's centuries of memories. Fellow elders, disciples, and dogs of the orthodoxy all have expectations about who Hu Xin is — and Hu Xin has no idea what those expectations are, let alone how to meet them. He doesn't even know how to work his own cultivation, let alone nurture someone else's. Shielded by audacity and armed with bullshit, this newly venerable and grossly unqualified demon is making it up as he goes.

Mana artists rule the world, and the path to power is a well-kept secret — restricted to state-approved programs and schools. Akari Zeller will never be a mana artist. Not if society has its way.

The dark web holds the keys to true power, advancement, and her only chance of survival.

These were the words Rylan Cloudgift had been waiting to hear all his life — his salvation and his escape from a mundane existence as an indentured servant on an island in the vast cloudsea. His quick way out of the debt he owed the Thistlethorns, the noble family that found him as a baby. So why did he wake up in a cell? Seeing no other choice, Rylan flees into the cloudsea with only the supplies he can grab on the way out and a mysterious note bearing a cryptic warning. His quest to find the sender and unravel the mystery of his birth will have to wait — friend and foe alike follow him into the fog, and none of them know the way out. The dense mist harbours hidden monstrosities and long-buried secrets.

The death of the Hero reset the timeline — not what Lucy had intended when she made that last soul attack while dying. Returned to Earth, she attempts the obvious: use her knowledge of the future to dominate the System's five realms. Except things go wrong immediately. A Shard of Totality is now lodged in her eye, her Status is broken, and the Hero remembers everything — and has his own agenda involving her other identity, Adrianna Riftmire. She may be doomed. But as a master of soul magic and former Archmage, she is far from defenseless. This might just be her best chance to permanently defeat the Hero of Light, whose powers distort destiny to ensure his success.

A boy who doesn't see himself as quite human begins to learn the truth about his world — and not everyone is pleased about his existence. The story is intended to evolve into a full space opera with elements of magic woven through it.

Humanity once ruled space, building an empire that stretched across hundreds of stars. Now Earth is a cold cinder in the void, its colonies and ships annihilated in an instant. For five thousand years, the surviving races have huddled in the dying light of the few stations that avoided total destruction, eking out their existence in the shadow of the long-dead humans who built their homes. When a piece of that lost legacy resurfaces, the few who still remember humanity have one last opportunity to find the truth and avenge the fallen.

Colm Avery is a warlock — you know, the "sell your soul for unlimited power" kind. Except he never sells his own soul. Instead he trades the souls of murderers, those already destined for hell, in exchange for hellish gifts. It's hard work, and after six years of 18-hour days he finally has a windfall that lets him take a vacation. A cruise, specifically. Unfortunately, disaster after disaster strikes: food poisoning, bad weather, and pirates. Colm will have to use his magic and his gifts to survive — and to unravel the plot behind all these seemingly unrelated catastrophes. This cruise to Hawaii turned out to be more than he bargained for.

Malvia was once an Infernal of the Black Flame gang, a member of the Empire's most despised race serving in one of its most infamous criminal enterprises. But that's all in the past now. One faked death later, she's been living as Katheryn Falara, a slightly sketchy alchemist operating under the nose of the law — and business is booming. With the Anglean Empire's nobility constantly scheming against each other, both magic and machine benefiting from her skills, and an ever-expanding kingdom full of rare ingredients, Malvia has been content to sit on the sidelines and make a tidy sum of cash. However, a rash of poisonings among the noble heirs makes her behind-the-scenes role impossible. Elements of a life she wanted to leave behind keep resurfacing, and soon she'll find herself at the center of a web of intrigue — figure out the web, or be trapped by it forever.

Ivy Crawford has done her best to put Craumont, and her past, behind her. She'd much rather live life as a Delver — exploring rifts in the world, battling monsters with claws and magic in equal measure. But the past has come calling, and Ivy finds herself back in the city she once called home. Ivy has changed since she left, with scales, claws, and a tail earned from years of magic and Delving. Craumont has changed too: new shadows cling to familiar buildings, and old mysteries have only deepened. Something has sunk its claws deep into the city, and just won't let go. If Craumont is to survive, Ivy has no choice but to slowly unravel the darkness over her old home.

Dr. Uru'Nav Xant, Department Head of Research, has been documenting his interviews with a newly discovered "Creator level" intelligent species: Human. His subject, Jasmine, displays many unique quirks — most intriguingly, an incredibly strong "frequency" she produces with the help of an implanted alien translator. Together the pair navigate cultural misunderstandings, corporate politics, and animal companionship while uncovering the mysterious circumstances of Jasmine's abduction.

Death is the greatest teacher, and 721 has a lot of learning to do. The Martial Arts Alliance stands at the precipice of defeat as war threatens to consume the world — its sects and great families rotten at the core. As a slave soldier of the Red Dawn Sect, 721 is not allowed a name, feelings, or thoughts. His death is not a tragedy, only a statistic. But death isn't the end for him: every time he dies, he wakes up again 24 hours before it happened. With only a vague memory of who he once was, he will rise to the highest peaks — his road paved with his own bones.

Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.
