At the District One Invitational, a rookie eSports team defied all odds and reached the finals, earning worldwide acclaim. Dubbed the Paragons, they never celebrated that victory — they lost a friend in the match, who never appeared online again. Ten years later, only Helena remains of the original team.

Lots of people get isekai'd, and Matt is no exception. After a quickly resolved misunderstanding with a truck-shaped system assistant, he's sent to Gaia — the garden planet. The truck assures him it's a really good fit. It would probably be right, too, if Gaia wasn't a burned-out wasteland completely devoid of life. Matt has all the system-granted advantages of a LitRPG isekai hero — it's just that he arrived a little late for them to do anyone any good. Now he's starving, wandering a sterilized featureless wasteland that doesn't much care about his improved stats, and searching for a system-issued guardian that might not even exist.

Sam went for a walk to get baked goods and ended up in the past of another world, with a set of memories that did not quite belong to him.

A VRMMO story that keeps the real world and the game world separate, with an emphasis on staying true to how MMOs actually work.

Tinea had an ugly childhood full of pain and abuse. It taught her how to fight and survive, how to run and hide and cut ties — but not much else.

Reborn, a whole new journey awaits the warrior looking for connection and togetherness, set in the universe of Stray Cat Strut.

Ivil Antagonist has everything a woman could want: power enough to blot out suns and turn worlds to molten hells, a fleet of warships, and the fear of an entire space-faring nation.

And so Ivil takes a great risk, asking a powerful oracle one simple question: where can I find true love? A Warhammer 40K-inspired romantic comedy featuring an overpowered villain protagonist, space pirates, and quite a lot of cute stuff.

A long-time player of a sci-fi VRMMO was eagerly awaiting the big update that would add countless new systems and rumored game elements. When the update arrived, disaster struck.

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.

In a world of swords and magic, no one expects an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter.

Nineteen-year-old repair technician Tess Rivera lives on Tertius-Prime, a crumbling megacity built atop a dungeon that has been "cleared" for twenty years.

When desperation drives her into the dungeon's outdated tutorial system, it malfunctions—and Tess fixes it herself, accidentally acquiring a {null} class no one has ever heard of. No combat skills, no normal leveling. Just the ability to see dungeon code, interface with broken systems, and talk to an AI that has been alone for far too long. The "cleared" dungeon is not empty. It has just been abandoned. And Tess's "broken" class might be exactly what is needed to wake it back up.

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.

Earth lost a war it never knew it was fighting. The Batract Hyphae arrived with contracts and promises, but their true interest was in humans as a workforce and mercenary force for their vast empire. Five decades later, humanity's progress is stunted and Integration Officers monitor everything. Bound for Sirius, the 1st Expeditionary Fleet carries formal orders to crush a rebellion — but beneath those orders lies a different purpose: to prepare for Earth's own uprising and to seek allies among the very species they were sent to destroy. Humanity must use diplomacy where possible and domination where necessary to end the threat to its freedom once and for all.

You're going to do great things together.

For millennia, the Elders have gifted pre-technological civilizations with the Implant — a piece of technology that alters reality on a quantum level, granting extraordinary physical and mental abilities. In return, recipients must pass through the Gauntlets: entire worlds hollowed out and turned into training grounds. Those who survive become the Elders' foot soldiers as they expand across the galaxy. What happens when a human accidentally receives an Implant instead?
