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.

Ash just wanted to clear his family's debts in the frontier town of Dawnwatch. A dungeon run gone wrong turned up a Soul Gem worth a kingdom — and instead of selling it, he forged it into a sentient, armor-crushing warhammer who demands blood sacrifices, won't sleep on anything less than satin, and firmly believes he is the main character. Now Ash has to slay enough monsters to keep his weapon fed, protect the people he cares about, and survive the impending monster waves — all while arguing with a tool who has strong opinions about everything.

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.

After the collapse of the known world, Rowan Wilder opens his eyes on the First Floor of the Tower. With a flawless memory and only eight Cards to his name, he must venture out and prepare for a coming calamity. In this place of blood and fantasy, Rowan has to not only survive but power his way to the top. The Demonic Plague twisting the creatures on the upper Floors is the least of his worries once he reveals the coveted Origin of the Summoner — drawing the attention of monsters, criminals, and zealots alike.

The Game is a virtual reality simulation played by over a billion children around the world. The best players are celebrities, adored and worshipped by countless fans. Zack is a superstar among players. His final play may change the world forever — setting in motion consequences that ripple across both Earth and the world of Tygon, where billions watch breathlessly as lives are put in jeopardy based on decisions made by children inside the Game.

When the system warned the world it was coming a week in advance, Alex couldn't have been more excited. In college for a degree he didn't care about to get a job he didn't want, the promise of a world where magic and challenge awaited — even at the potential cost of death — was the best news he could have imagined. He wasn't ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started. Instead of hunting rabbits and farming wolves, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where even the bugs are stronger than he is. Even with a summoner class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died. Alex didn't get the memo. Where others saw certain death, he found opportunity.

Starving artist Angelica Hallow is hit on the head by a mysterious book while dumpster diving. Compelled by its illustrations, she recreates one of the intricate circles on her apartment floor — and accidentally triggers a Summoning. But rather than a Demon or other supernatural creature, she summons herself. With a new voice in her head blathering about Skills and Contracts, and an inexplicable ability to give herself Orders she is compelled to obey, Angelica must figure out whether she can secure the peaceful life of artistry she craves — or whether she will come to embrace the Demon within.

October, 2042. An extinction-level asteroid is on a collision course with Earth. World governments are preparing deep-earth bunkers for a lucky few, but Jack Mitchel, a thirty-two-year-old EMT, isn't among the winners. His only chance: permanently upload his mind into Viridian Gate Online, a brand-new ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG. The transition kills his body, one in six die in the process, and even if Jack beats the odds he'll face vicious monsters, domineering AIs, and cutthroat players. When Jack stumbles upon a secret conspiracy to transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age, the deadly creatures in the dungeons become the least of his concerns.

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.

Max was murdered, but now he is mostly over it. Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, he can still perfectly recall his past life on Albion, a sword-and-sorcery world where he was hailed as the Hero of the World after crawling up from poverty to fame and luxury. On mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy. When Earth is suddenly attacked and its natural laws begin to change, Max gets a new opportunity to reclaim some of his lost power — and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path. The universe is far larger than he ever knew, and the drive to excel has never left him.

Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then, he'll just have to outwit or outrun the horrors most sane adventurers avoid. Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

The world called out for a hero to purge it of great evil. It received Broccoli Bunch — explorer, expert cleaner, occasional ghost-buster, and full-time Cinnamon Bun. Broccoli's approach to adventure is unconventional: talk enemies into becoming friends, hug menu boxes, and wield overpowered skills like Cleaning and Gardening. Her personal quest is simple — make all the friends. All of them.

The life of an Infant Demon is a bloody grind to the top. For Salvos, a curious newborn Demon with a penchant for making friends, surviving the swarms of wild Demons in the Netherworld was always going to be a difficult task. She will adapt, gain experience, and evolve to survive this hellish landscape with the help of her sole companion. But when her companion's life is threatened by a mysterious Demon King, she'll have to separate from him and be tossed into an unfamiliar world of humans and monsters — where she is scorned for being born a Demon. The law of evolution is survival of the fittest, and no matter where she is, Salvos will survive.

Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for elite Force Recon. He'd found a tribe and a family — so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. Instead of winding up dead, he wakes up in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He's been chosen by Raguel, the Five-Faced God of Justice, and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger, and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock spells, and harness the abilities of the monsters he's dispatched to hunt.

A wise man once said all roads lead to Rome. He didn't know how right he was. Ripped away from the battlefield, Tiberius and his six thousand Roman Legionnaires find themselves stranded in a foreign land of magic and witchcraft. With no way home, their path forward is obvious: conquer everything in sight — much to the chagrin of Marcus, the poor, unsuspecting bard who summoned them. Taking over the world is not so easy. The Legion must learn to navigate the strange magics and abilities this new world has granted them. Meanwhile Marcus must figure out how to mitigate the force of nature he's unleashed upon his woefully unprepared world — or simply enjoy the front-row seat to an epic in the making.

Larek Holsten is different from most people — his seven-foot frame draws suspicion in the Kingdom of Androthe, but as long as it helps him fell trees in the magical forest, he doesn't mind. His best friend is an axe imbued with a powerful Fusion that makes it sharper and stronger than any normal tool. A deliberate misunderstanding lands Larek in trouble, and he is taken from his family and ordered to attend an academy for Mages. He has no desire to become a Mage; all he wants is to return home. But when he discovers a unique talent stemming from his newly unlocked latent power, he might just have to stick around. A weak-to-strong story with LitRPG progression, statistics, and a heavy crafting emphasis.

An average guy wakes up in a forest with no idea how he got there. He wasn't summoned to defeat a demon lord or save the world — as far as he can tell. He can't speak the local language, and not everybody immediately trusts a pajama-wearing stranger they found in the wilderness. Things generally go downhill from there, at least until the blue boxes start appearing. Delve is a story about finding your way in a new, strange, and dangerous world. It's about avoiding death, figuring out what's going on, and making friends along the way. The main character takes an unconventional path as a support mage focused entirely on mana regeneration — a build most adventurers consider foolish. The numbers in this story actually mean something, and progression is measured not just in personal power but in allies, connections, and hard-won knowledge.

Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.

Bastion: the last hope of civilization. Bright, flashy, and dangerous. Heroic Wardens protect the city from monsters, rifts, and villainous Anarchs, while corporations bicker like children even during the end-times. The existential threats seeking the city's destruction are just another Tuesday — the Wardens, with their system-granted powers forged from broken myths and shattered stars, are the only thing standing between Bastion and total devastation. They were just out of reach for one wayward Stray who happened to be in the right place at the right time. Now, with the OS having chosen them, it's time to claw back to the top — one rift, job, and monster at a time. Just as soon as there's enough drive to actually get out there. Picking up the pieces is just so tiring.
