Working-class student Giorgio deGloria has a lofty goal: to become one of the most powerful archmages in the Ringed City and explore the depths of the Crystal Ring Academy, a megalithic dungeon-turned-college at the ancient city's heart. His classmates have repertoires full of rare and lavish spells. The most powerful spell Gio can get his hands on before the first day of school is a paltry uncommon spell called [Reflect]. To distinguish himself, he'll need to survive an endless dungeon full of magic and mystery, navigate a hellish bureaucracy authored by ignorant nobles, and prove himself worthy to the spirits that make the world tick — all while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.

Hans had a realization that changed the direction of his adventuring career: "above average" is different from "great." At 39, with a litany of lingering injuries, he accepted that he would never progress from Gold-ranked to Diamond-ranked. With his prime behind him and disillusioned by guild politics, he accepts a guild master posting in a remote village — an insignificant position no one else wanted. Looking forward to a quiet life of teaching, Hans arrives in the small town of Gomi at the foot of the Dead End Mountains. As he rebuilds the local chapter of the Adventurers' Guild, his unconventional teaching methods earn him allies and enemies alike, while his career failures find ways to resurface. A slice-of-life fantasy exploring life post-adventuring and the challenge of reconciling dreams with reality.

Wayne appeared in the summoning chambers for Chosen Heroes. While getting isekaied was good news, he was fifty years off the usual cycle — his body didn't become superhuman, and his system access was glitched. He could open menus, but his only clickable option was to view his unimpressive stats, and another called Christmas List was greyed out entirely. Four years into living his second quiet life, he happens upon a strange artifact from Earth: a single page from the 1990 Electronics Boutique Christmas Catalog. His once-inactive ability gives him the power to add skills and abilities to his system by ripping them from the games listed in the catalog. With a second lease on his second life, Wayne sets out with his best friend Fergus to collect more catalog pages — combining abilities from wildly different game systems and trying not to repeat the mistakes of his past.

He used to be a god. Now he's level one. Brynn was the first to ever activate the world's hidden Prestige Mode, gaining powerful perks at the cost of his godhood and all memories of his past life. Now at rock bottom in a brutal world where leveling is so deadly most people never try, he must grind his way back to divinity — armed with nothing but a magical helmet and an empty Alchemist's Kit left by his former self. But secrecy is everything. This world had nine gods, and all but one reset at the same time. With no memories to guide him, Brynn can't trust any of them. And behind it all lurks one haunting question: what terrified gods enough to make them start over?

An elderly hermit mage on the outskirts of a labyrinth town invokes simple spellwork to create a mud automaton for household chores — but in the middle of the ritual, his ancient heart finally fails. Now, half-formed and with limited understanding of the world, an artificial being of mud stirs to life. Despite its limitations, it has a mission to fulfill: the last instructions of a dying creator. "Defend my home, and my possessions." To the mechanical mind of Mud, only absolute perfection is acceptable. Nothing in the universe will ever threaten The Master's home.

Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself. Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.

A comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Mostly it is about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, haggling with the squash seller, or taking care of a neglected garden. It is putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, kill monsters, and disarm traps — but when you come out, you find the perfect magic item to give to a local kid who helped you out when your cat was sick. You will have rivalries with other groups, find some dungeon eggs that need careful incubation, and help a friend build a fishing weir. There is a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic and even more to do and see.

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.

Valens Kosthal is the youngest Life Archmagus the Empire has ever seen. His mastery over Resonance allows him to hear the frequencies of the world and correct them — healing even the deepest wounds. Yet the full scope of his abilities is forbidden, and the little he can practice must be done in secret. When an ancient ritual promises to reveal the truth behind it all, he leaps at the chance. It leaves him alone in an unfamiliar world, deep in a dungeon crawling with rotten skeletons and towering beasts — and a System that grants him the secrets of Warmagic. Valens no longer needs to hold back.

Jacob Cloud is sixteen, a miner's son, and he knows his fate: die young, broke, and anonymous in the town that feeds silver ore to richer cities and spits out its sons in pine boxes. He dreams of becoming a Knight — but that takes gold, rare Skills, and connections he will never have. Then the mine floor gives out beneath him. Jacob falls — not to his death, but onto a Rainbow-ranked Skill Crystal, something so rare people kill over it. He doesn't get a weapon or a healing Skill. He gets The Grimoire Extraordinaire — a support Skill that can only show him the flaws in any other Skill or item. No instant power. No glory. But Jacob isn't an idiot. He grinds, he experiments, and he uses the Grimoire to optimize the basics. In five days trapped underground, he boosts his skills to levels nobles would envy — and when he claws his way out, he's ready to quit the mines for good.

The magical world of Volar is dying. To save themselves and their followers, the native gods have instituted a plan to transform Earth mortals into anchors for their powers. Ty, along with thousands of other humans, is summoned through portals and given one mission: choose a god and power up as fast as possible. A fast-paced portal fantasy adventure set in both our world and Volar, with demons, dragons, dungeons, and unexpected plot twists at every turn.

Potential is everything within the Vitrian Empire — and a provincial orphan boy is about to prove he has more of it than anyone. Found in the ruins of the Old City, the orphan Alarion is taken in by Assessor Elena, who bends the rule of law to adopt him into the House of Hunger. To earn his place, he must learn the ways of his new House, endure a grueling training regime, and battle deadly fiends — all while scraping together enough strength before those who hate what he represents finally close in. After all, potential unrealized is no power at all.

Sable didn't know what she'd expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard wasn't it. Thrust into a magic-filled fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, things aren't entirely great: there are hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal undead legion to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms that want the first dragon in centuries dead. What's more, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats make her stronger the more gold she has and the more people fear her — which explains why dragons in the past were such unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less evil ways to progress. What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be?

Armon Ellington — an orphan, gamer, and RPG geek — dies after a seventy-two-hour gaming marathon. Instead of an afterlife, he's transported to Terra, a new world governed by rules eerily similar to the games he loves. On Terra he can be a warrior, mage, or crafter. But more than power, Armon wants friends and family — the things he never had on Earth.

In the deepest reaches of the Bone Pits, a canine woke up in the ruined remains of a wooden box — with knowledge it shouldn't have, fleeting memories it couldn't reach, and the icy grasp of death crawling up its spine. It simply wished to live another day. In the industrial underbelly of Carmera, gangs, religious groups, Dungeon Barons, and cultists battle for supremacy — blind to what prowls below. In the writhing smog and murky sumps that none dare approach, in the deepest reaches of the dungeon, the last wolf rakes its claws through steel and howls to a distant sky.

When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is given a chance to live life better in a new world. Due to some godly negligence and terrible luck, however, his arrival does not go as planned. Having acquired overwhelming power, he has to confront a familiar question: how should I live my life?

The System integrated Earth into a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Half of humanity answered the call. Some return stronger. Others never return. Thirteen years ago, Luke's mother entered the Tutorial and vanished. Now Luke faces the same trial — not for glory, but for answers. What should be a beginner's test becomes a death sentence when he falls into a forgotten dungeon floor where monsters are scarce, supplies are limited, and the only way out is a temple hanging over an abyss, guarded by a sleeping demon. Every puzzle kills. Every step risks his life. No buffs, no tricks — just a knife and the raw will to survive. When the light fades and the body breaks, Luke has only one choice: embrace the darkness and be reborn.

Han is a 30-year-old gamer who has finally beaten World: Mountain, Sea and Sky — a brutally difficult soulslike RPG that kills your character on every game over. He has written guides, found every secret dungeon, and tried every trick in the book. But he has never started the game as a Slave. At least, not while inside the game.
