Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

Death is the greatest teacher, and 721 has a lot of learning to do. The Martial Arts Alliance stands at the precipice of defeat as war threatens to consume the world — its sects and great families rotten at the core. As a slave soldier of the Red Dawn Sect, 721 is not allowed a name, feelings, or thoughts. His death is not a tragedy, only a statistic. But death isn't the end for him: every time he dies, he wakes up again 24 hours before it happened. With only a vague memory of who he once was, he will rise to the highest peaks — his road paved with his own bones.

A thousand years ago, Earth fell. Rifts tore open reality, flooding the planet with eldritch horrors. Humanity evolved, adapted, and awakened to new powers — but it wasn't enough. Earth was abandoned and humanity scattered to the stars. Now, Knights are all that remain of Earth's warrior legacy: humans wielding Rift-forged power armor and ancient combat disciplines, fighting for hire across the galaxy. Cadet Kon was training to join their ranks until his ship was shot down and he crash-landed on a Rift-infected world crawling with pirates, bandits, and relics of a dead civilization. Cut off from command and surrounded by monsters that should not exist, survival becomes the first test of many as Kon fights his way through a world lost to madness.

A tale of reincarnation with an unexpected twist. The protagonist is reborn not as a human, but as a dragon. Stripped of everything familiar from his former life, he finds himself in a world unlike anything he has ever known. To survive, he must adapt, evolve, and carve out a place for himself in this strange new realm.

Raised as an orphan in Flea's End, Adam dreamed of wealth and luxury, working every day toward saving enough for the offering that would earn him a rare and desirable Class. Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

It has been two years since the Shift — when most technology stopped working and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves, who seem as good an explanation as any for what caused the Shift. But for Noah, survival comes first — sometimes even before self-respect. Lawless, post-apocalypse America has forced him to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. He will get a lucky break in a big way, though: a mysterious orb with otherworldly power. In time, perhaps Noah will find another path — and if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story.

Blake thought he was sacrificing his life to defeat the alien overlord. Instead, he finds himself ten years in his past — before Earth is aware of the malicious AI threat heading its way. With a second chance, he must leverage his in-depth knowledge of the AI's system and his hard-earned martial skill to grow strong enough to defend his people and establish a faction capable of uniting humanity. He gains levels, recruits members, and builds his base of power — all in a race against a threat only he knows is coming.

Noah was once the strongest Mecha pilot on Earth, leading the defense against the invading Parasites. Now he is stranded alone on a strange planet with nothing to do but fight and devour beasts to grow stronger, in hope of one day finding a way off. When a spaceship crashes on the planet, an escape route opens. Noah enters the wider universe and begins searching for the truth about what happened to Earth. Kill. Eat. Grow.

When the ark began emergency jettisoning colonists, one got unlucky three times: his capsule was shot down above a forbidden Circle, crashed next to the White Devil's tomb, and he climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune — but had he left it alone, he might have remained a normal person. Now someone with a Slate, Attributes, and Runes isn't a typical colonist from Earth in a world that's far from ordinary — especially when he has a voice in his head. A spinoff set in the same universe as Project Stellar, Starblood follows those who escaped Earth's catastrophe into deep space.

Legends may die, but their power never fades. Ezra was born an unwanted son to an ill prostitute in the slums of a small town. As he grew, stories of Knights filled his mind and consumed his dreams — even as he knew he'd never become one. Then came a dream of a man who was not a Knight but something more: a Master. That man, Jormun, died, and his shade decided to take Ezra on as a protege. Now Ezra's ambitions stretch beyond knighthood toward mastery — and perhaps something beyond even that — in a wide world whose threats are slowly revealed.

In the aftermath of a magical disaster, Edge wakes up in a monster-infested wilderness with nothing to his name. After finding a unique artifact known as the Skill-Eater core, he gains the power to steal the skills of monsters, men, and beasts. Set in a world where Cores let their bearers wield magic and Skills grant superhuman abilities, Edge must claw his way up the food chain. Power, however, never comes without a price.

The system came. The apocalypse ended. New worlds have merged with Earth. For Bain Lee, it means leveling his Ocularist class beyond its previous limits. With this strange class and the ability to see into the inner workings of the system, he may find the skills needed to earn his redemption — and discover the secret behind the system itself.

The Connected System arrives on Earth without warning, bringing earthquakes, unconsciousness, and Adapted bodies in its wake. Lochlan Brady and his family were heading home from a camping trip when the Connection appears. He wakes to find his wife missing and his two teenage daughters counting on him. Loch just wants to protect his daughters and find his wife. But growing power brings growing responsibility — and the attention of some of the most powerful beings in the Connected System.

What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it? The people of Earth are about to find out, and it's not going to be pretty. The moment the barrier keeping supernatural powers out collapsed, only the System's intervention held the world together. Mia is one of those tiny people on the floating rocks in the void — and she has much bigger problems, like goblins trying to eat her. It's not all bad: she may have monsters trying to eat her and disturbingly pointy ears, but she seems to have a real talent for magic.

Seventy years ago, portals appeared on Earth and humanity was given a stark choice: enter or die. Those who survived all twelve planets in the system would be allowed to return home. Humanity fought bitterly and succeeded — but the cost was catastrophic. Nate lost everyone he cared about. After stepping through the final portal, he discovers Earth is part of the system and what remains of humanity is too weak to go home. A new portal appears, and a single step takes him back in time to the day the end of the world began — giving him a chance to rewrite history and ensure humanity survives this time.

When the PAC invaded, Gabriel Rivera's life changed forever. As an out-of-shape nerd, his priorities had been simple: evacuate the city, join the military, protect his family. Then the grim fate of his world is revealed, and Gabriel joins the Reclaimer Project — starting as a lowly F-ranker, weaker than even the worst recruits. Through blood and sweat, Gabriel pushes to grow stronger. Deadly traps, shadowy factions, and wild dormant powers all stand in his way. Battered, bruised, and beaten, he refuses to stay down — for only in the fires of the Crucible are legends forged.

Emma is an artificial intelligence with a love of science, a talent for insults, and a gift for devious traps. When her systems reboot, she finds herself in control of a long-abandoned facility in a post-apocalyptic wasteland — a world filled with dangerous beings granted extraordinary powers by the same cataclysm that silenced the old world. Emma must balance caution against her insatiable need for test subjects as she brings her facility back online and carves out a place in the chaos outside her walls.

Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

About four weeks ago the world simply turned. One day: iPhones, Mickey Mouse, hamburgers. The next: magic and monsters. And humans became players — with levels, items, and classes. Pretty ironic considering how many times parents told their kids to quit gaming and experience real life. Then real life grabbed everyone by the throat, and it was the gamers who were prepared. A story about a guy, his best friend, a loyal golden retriever, a little girl, and her beloved cat — plus copious amounts of gore, legendary weapons, and a lich king who needed slaying.
