Ever since he was little, Merrick had been blessed by the Great Spirits, granting him an unusually strong connection to the Song of the World. With his Warrior Ceremony approaching, he was sure his greatest wish was about to come true — until invaders from another world began creeping into his people's land, intent on devouring every resource they could find. When Merrick offers to guide a rich young prospector's group into the untamed wilds, he finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew. Fierce wolves stalk the dark and poisonous insects hide under every leaf, but the true danger lurks in the hearts of his companions. Armed with a Guardian Spirit he doesn't understand and strange knowledge of the future, it will take every ounce of courage and fortitude Merrick can muster to make it out of the mountains alive.

Born magically talentless, Prince Corvus is an embarrassment to the royal family and is removed from succession. However, he still has a chance to win back his throne — the next person to hatch a dragon automatically becomes the ruler, and each member of the royal family is gifted with a dragon egg. But it is the work of a lifetime to hatch one. The first time Corvus touches his dragon egg, he receives an odd notification: he has found a soulbound item and is tasked with an epic quest to hatch it — but only if he can walk the winding path of the dragon mage. Armed with notifications, skill increases, and levels only he can see, Corvus is determined to hatch his dragon.

Rob didn't think of himself as anyone special, but when a pitch-black portal tried to wrap his best friend in chains, he stepped up without thinking and found himself ensnared instead. His moment of heroism results in being torn away from everyone he knew and loved, kidnapped by an unknown force that leaves him with a note: "Good luck." Thrown into the wilderness of Elatra, a hostile fantasy world ruled by levels, stats, and bizarre video game logic, he finds himself entirely out of his depth. Overcoming the wilds is just the first step — Elatran society is incredibly hostile to humans, having just come off a devastating war that left over half the population dead, and getting the locals to trust the last human in existence is a struggle in and of itself. Between being powerless in a world that hates him and suffering under a System that is altering his mind in unwanted ways, Rob quickly finds that monsters aren't nearly the biggest thing to worry about.

The Founders were the first Marked — and they built kingdoms on those powers, then made it their business to ensure no one else could join their ranks. Hal is lost in a world of Levels, stats, and monsters, wanted dead by its rulers. Ingenuity and courage won't be enough. To survive and carve out freedom for himself and those who follow him, he must embrace the beast within — fighting the monsters around him while guarding against becoming one himself.

Becoming a knockoff Dracula in tight leather pants was never part of Vincent's plans. Neither was being summoned to another world by a cult of vampire wannabes. But both happened. Now Vincent's left picking up the tattered pieces of his humanity as he tries to grow strong enough to keep his family safe. There's a world filled with nightmares, and the looming threat of losing his soul standing between his goal and his reality. A good man is going to war.

Mira is determined to be a botanist — no matter how dangerous or violent it may become. Upon entering the multiverse, she made two requests: a botany class to further her research, and to be dropped off in an isolated forest far from the violent god-rearing System. She was granted both — but not in the way she expected. The System abandoned her in a hellishly dangerous forest where she earned a rare class that excels at killing things.

Liadain, a girl born terminally ill, has only ever wanted to live — forever, if at all possible. Instead, shortly after her thirteenth birthday, she is consigned to spend her last months in hospice care. Until the night she encounters a monster more terrifying than death, and her savior offers her a chance at her impossible dream. A chance to become a Keeper — one of the chosen children whose magic serves as humanity's sole defense against Harbingers, living nightmares that devour dreams, passions, and souls. Those who consume enough Harbingers grow into something more than human, able to change themselves in nearly any way they wish. So Liadain throws herself into this new life, hoping against hope to save herself. But magic is foremost an expression of the soul. Shaped by her cold bitterness, her power grants dominion over sickness, death, and ill-fate — forcing her to wield the very things she hates most as weapons. And as she delves deeper into the minds of Harbingers, she can't help but wonder if their hunger is really so different from her own.

His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus found us selfish, wasteful, and boorish — blockaded Earth and left behind little more than a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game played in one's sleep. The game, they said, would teach us to be better galactic neighbors. The megacorporations ignored it until they learned the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic and supernatural abilities exploded into existence, and a subscription to the Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine "Kat" Debs doesn't have much, but she wants something more — a chance to claw her way up the rigid social ladder from the arcology where she was raised. When she gets the opportunity to enter the Tower free of corporate control, she jumps at it, knowing the game might be her only path to taking control of her own destiny.

Just one semester until graduation, a young man dies saving a little girl — only to wake up in another world, in the body of Kupiec Aiden, chosen by a deity to save the realm of Zemia. Unlike the isekai stories he's read, he retains none of Aiden's memories and must learn everything from scratch. When his exceptional innate talent for Aether Gathering is discovered, he earns a scholarship to Azyl Academy, the city's premier institution. Now he must figure out where he fits in this world — and how he's supposed to be the key to saving it.

A thousand-year-old succubus, tired of devouring men, invents a new spell to grow more powerful in a less distasteful manner — by kidnapping twenty students and forcing them to level up in the Underworld. Elorion is just an average high school student when he wakes to find himself and nineteen others captured and given the ability to use magic and gain levels. If he doesn't fight the monsters of the Underworld, he will die. But if he does fight, will he survive?

Orphaned as a teenager and later saved by Duke Kinson, Morgan Lovecraft found a new life in the world of Dunnishire — until the day he turned sixteen and discovered he had a death affinity and was a necromancer. The old prejudices ran deep, and Morgan went from having friends to being an outcast all over again. Hoping his scholarship to the Mages Academy will be a new turning point, Morgan finds himself challenged to an honor duel on his first day of classes. Making mortal enemies in five minutes, then being asked by the duchy to speak to the dead, investigate assassination plots, and root out corruption — the former Earth gamer finds himself center stage as The Duchy's Necromancer.

Given his first weapon as a child, Edward Lee lived a life full of violence in a nation torn by war. Tormented by the demons of his past, he believed death would free him. Through the schemes of beings beyond his understanding, his death instead becomes the starting point of a new life — as a young teenager in a strange world of magic and monsters. Beyond simply surviving his new existence, Edward will soon realize there is still a price to pay for the actions of his past.

As the perfect sacrifice, it is only natural that Nix be sacrificed to the ancient gods lurking in the depths of the black hole. But she didn't die. Finding herself seven years in the past — to the day of her first cursed mutation — Nix is determined to correct her regrets, enact vengeance on her murderers, and simply live the life she never got to. But even with this second chance, freedom from the cults remains a pipe dream. To achieve everything she never could in her previous life, there is only one path before her. Nix will twist the curses that once bound her into the very source of her strength. The cults will regret sacrificing her — without ever knowing they already succeeded.

Michael didn't want to die. After a lost battle with cancer, he'd lived what many would call a full life — but it wasn't enough. He wanted more time with his wife, his kids, his grandkids. When he found himself drawn toward the light, he fought his way away from it. Unfortunately, that didn't take him back to the life he wanted. Reincarnated in another world, Michael is forced to become a Penitent — a soldier in the country he was reborn into — in order to pay a debt to society for taking the life of the child whose body he now inhabits. It's not the life he wants, but it's the only one he has.

The Wilds relentlessly reclaim all things. Humanity shelters within ever-dying cities. Mages create the only path forward. Tala had to fight tooth and nail in the Magic Academy to forge a power path that was her own. She knows it is her duty to use that power to defend humanity against the creatures of the untamable wilds — but she skipped a few steps in her education, like apprenticing to someone who actually knows what they're doing. Now Tala must balance learning as fast as she can with paying off the veritable mountain of debt the Academy dropped on her shoulders, not to mention staying alive. Even though she should only be a Mageling, the world considers her a Mage.

Post-apocalyptic Oregon Trail. Mazelton comes from a clan of radiation wizards who harvest the cores of living beings to power their magics — but he has no enthusiasm for the family trade. That hardly matters when entire armies are sent to exterminate his clan. He has to run: from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, forced marriages, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not-terribly-nice family has trained him to survive apocalypses. A world still recovering from the last one should be easy.

Dragons have been extinct for centuries. Can one young man bring them back? Raphael was born with the mark of the dragon. His foster father taught him a mysterious and ancient magic unlike anything seen since the last dragon left the world. Now, at 18, he is accepted into a guild of mages with the promise of learning more about his unique power. Raphael's strange abilities could very well lead to the return of the dragons — a coming-of-age fantasy series with cultivation elements and incremental progression through spells, abilities, and equipment.

They laughed when Arden got stuck at Rank 0. Then he discovered the hidden path that monsters and rankers fear most. Arden gave everything to rise as a guild adventurer, pushing his warrior training and artificer talents to their limits. For four soul-crushing years, his Rank 0 Epiphany remained locked at 99%. Now, with his dreams fading and health collapsing, he undertakes one final quest — a simple goblin extermination in the city's sewers — and discovers a rare Hell Portal: the only path to unlock his true potential. Beyond lies limitless power and realms stretching far past the borders of his empire. In this System, there can only be one Slayer.
