In a world that should breed fear and concern, an environment that makes his fellow coworkers falter, Jake instead finds himself thriving. Perhaps Jake was born for this kind of world.

Sen never dreamed of ascension. Such aspirations belonged to the rich young nobles, not orphans like him scraping a living on the streets of Orchard's Reach. But when destiny takes an unexpected turn, Sen is chosen over those same nobles and adopted into a makeshift family of three ancient cultivators. These old monsters will teach him everything — from the art of the jian and spear to arcane alchemy. Yet on the path to defying the heavens, Sen must decide what kind of person he wants to be, because when his training ends, he will have formidable enemies determined to put him back in his place.

After his parents died, Alex Roth had one plan: become a wizard. Through hard work he earned a place at Generasi, the world's greatest university of wizardry. Then fate intervened—on his eighteenth birthday he is Marked as one of his kingdom's five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener. His brand is "The Fool," the worst of the marks. Rather than die or serve the other Heroes, Alex takes his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, and flees for the university. There he hopes to find refuge, study magic, and unravel the truth about his land's great evil. The only complication: the Mark prevents him from learning and casting spells—unless he can learn to exploit the hell out of it.

Ren Varrow was never the hero type — a quiet alchemist who kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should have ended. Instead, it rewound. Thrown back to Day One, before the Tower rose and before the betrayals, Ren knows what's coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth's destruction. Armed with future knowledge, he's ready to rewrite everything — from building a guild out of nobodies to crafting mythic-grade potions to surviving a hundred deadly floors.

Best of all, nobody minds if his potions explode.

Summoned to another world and asked to be a great hero, the protagonist wants none of it — the world already has a hero. Instead, he chooses the simplest class available: Potion Maker.

One fateful night, he finds himself enjoying an experimental brew far more potent than usual. Daoist Scouring Medicine is a man disgraced, caught between his uncompromising vision for pill refining and the politics of a world that discards its ideals the moment they stand in the way of profit.

From a pair of poorly considered drunken decisions, a sequence of events is set into motion that will one day shake the very heavens.

Malvia was once an Infernal of the Black Flame gang, a member of the Empire's most despised race serving in one of its most infamous criminal enterprises. But that's all in the past now. One faked death later, she's been living as Katheryn Falara, a slightly sketchy alchemist operating under the nose of the law — and business is booming. With the Anglean Empire's nobility constantly scheming against each other, both magic and machine benefiting from her skills, and an ever-expanding kingdom full of rare ingredients, Malvia has been content to sit on the sidelines and make a tidy sum of cash. However, a rash of poisonings among the noble heirs makes her behind-the-scenes role impossible. Elements of a life she wanted to leave behind keep resurfacing, and soon she'll find herself at the center of a web of intrigue — figure out the web, or be trapped by it forever.

Edwin never really felt many connections to other people, but as a physics student, that was fine. He was content to peel back the mysteries of the universe — though modern-day research was too well-trodden for any single enthusiast to make real headway. That doesn't apply to other worlds. Not ones where magic and Skills run rampant, where well-defined roles and Classes dominate society with little room for novel experimentation. That kind of world would be perfect for an overeager, newly-minted Alchemist to make his mark. A slice-of-life progression fantasy following someone trying to find his place in a world that doesn't know what to do with him. Expect lots of science, lots of alchemy, a few sarcastic quips from the System, and plenty of exploration.

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.
