After bonding with a quirky and mischievous monster, he starts near the bottom — but he's determined to reach the highest tiers. Something big is coming, a monster larger and deadlier than anyone can imagine, and Dirk may be the only one who can stop it.

A painful, impossible transformation leaves him in a body he doesn't know how to use.

Burning Starlight

Ryan Stennet

D37/100
Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.

Osamaru Ta

D37/100
Meet ALPHA-555-12-4412: an unstable, unpredictable, and possibly insane Sapient AI of dubious morals with a love for everything that goes "Boom!" — the perfect spearhead for the technologically advanced Third Galactic Federation of Sapients and its Galactic Unification Project. When Alpha finds himself trapped in a world filled with reality-warping magics and thousand-year-old Cultivators, he quickly learns he might be out of his depth. And like any good fish out of water, he adapts — by giving the fish robot legs and equipping it with a battleship-rated intercontinental Railgun. Soon all those under the Firmament will learn one thing is certain: Alpha isn't trapped in this world with them. They're trapped in here with him.

Best he can tell, he'll need to fight to escape and survive. Confronted with hostile aliens intent on holding him prisoner, Caleb chooses to dive headfirst into forces he can't understand — learning the eddies of the alien worlds he's stranded in, or never making it home. If a hallucination of one of the other abductees can be trusted, maybe they can make it through the trials before them.
