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.

Finn was a Senior Engineer at Google. He died at his desk at 3 AM and woke up penniless in the gutter of Cinderhold — a brutal world where humanity sits at the bottom of the food chain. His magic talent is non-existent. His mana is pathetic. Then the System loads, giving him the Genesis Editor: a tool that lets him optimize spells the way a programmer debugs code. But the System isn't free — it runs on money. To survive Abyssal horrors and corrupt mages, Finn needs gold, and he'll brew black-market tonics and exploit dungeon glitches to get it. They call it cheating. He calls it a feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

A fast-paced portal fantasy adventure set in both our world and Volar, with demons, dragons, dungeons, and unexpected plot twists at every turn.

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.

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.

Daniel was Gifted by the gods at birth with the ability to heal even the most grievous wounds with a touch.

When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is given a chance to live life better in a new world.

Lucan is the son of a landed knight in a kingdom surrounded by diverse threats. As he comes of age, he must make peace with both the tasteful and distasteful aspects of his responsibilities — but most important of all, he must find a way to either tame or accept his own ambitions. In a realm where an underground labyrinth births monsters that hunger to climb into the world of man, it's difficult to be a noble and dangerous to be a warrior. Lucan must navigate a maze of mortal peril and political intrigue if he is to survive and, perhaps someday, thrive. An action-adventure kingdom-building LitRPG focused on individual-level progression — no territory status sheets, and the RPG elements stay grounded rather than overwhelming the story.

Paralyzed in a workplace accident, Lox's life is looking bleak — he cannot even use the hardware that would let him play the full-immersion games everyone else enjoys. Then a company called New Universal Frontiers makes him an offer: access to their technology despite his injuries, in exchange for one condition — he can never leave the game. Once inside, Lox quickly realizes this is far more than a game. Given a class everyone considers useless due to its inherent dangers, he endures a long and painful series of trials as he masters his magical abilities. As he explores the depths of the game's magic system, he discovers there is far more going on than anyone ever expected.

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.

Oh, and fend off that inbound apocalypse, if he can find the time.

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.
