I survived the war and my first term at magic school. How hard could meeting the parents be?

But holiday drama takes a backseat when revolutionaries start bombing the capital of Umbrica.

Magic is real, and Reggie Hickson just got invited to be a wizard school summer camp transfer. Reggie was a self-made businessman who'd pulled himself and his oddball dad out of poverty through sheer determination and the glory of YouTube tutorials. Pretty impressive, honestly. That was until a three-inch tall sprite emerged from his coffee mug and told him he was a wizard. Scratch that—a warlock. Apparently there's a difference, and that difference involves stuff we probably shouldn't go into in this good Christian blurb.

Garth McFarlane thought leading his chaotic girlfriends through professional dungeon matches while providing psychiatric therapy on the side was the ultimate challenge. Then he got recruited for the X-treme Dungeon Crawl special event, and suddenly he's got bigger problems than some possessive monster girls.

I thought surviving the war was hard. Turns out, being a celebrity war hero at magic school comes with its own unique challenges.

Logan Morrison always fought for everything he had, but it never was much. Growing up truly alone did that to you. One day, when taking on an extra tutoring gig to help out a cute chick with a quirky name, she ends up bringing him back to her place. Cool, right? Well, the next morning, Logan wakes up in chains and comes to learn that Cherry Cola is one beautiful and unhinged monster girl member out of three in a small Fresco City witch coven. Their plans for him? Servitude.

The Demon Lord is dead. The System is broken. Somehow, Elias Hearthsong is neither of these things, despite being at the final battle of the Demon Wars. He is a Master Enchanter, perhaps the last one alive. Determined to keep a promise, he crosses the continent to protect his dead friend's legacy: a crumbling orphanage run by a beautiful kitsune. He isn't a teacher, nor does he have experience with children. But with the love of a few good women, anything can become possible.

With the revelation that the System could be reset in just 30 days, the only hope for the world is the successful completion of Elias Hearthsong's World Quest to establish the orphanage as a school for future adventurers.

Deep in the shattered remnants of a dead moon, an ancient artifact pulses with Supernal Energy—power from before the Multiverse itself. The Hellmarine and his battle-scarred Stygians have stumbled onto a secret that Heaven would kill to possess and Hell would burn worlds to claim.

Taken from my old life with little memory of what brought me here, I wake up in a high tech capsule. A wrinkly old elf tells me that my soul is incomplete and has been fused with that of a Solar Dragon to give me a second chance at life. Where? When? An urban metropolis filled with fantasy races, erected atop the back of a giant asteroid. Meteoropolis. And millions of years in the future, to boot. But that's not all. I've got super powers, too. To add to the excitement, I end up hosted by an anxious unicorn elf named Pinky Peach who is basically a professional gamer girl.

Arthur Cain was a hero to his city, the most accomplished and respected of the firefighters in his entire district. But when a call comes in from the so-called "Halfbreed Heights", the monsterfolk part of the city, Arthur's life gets flip-turned upside down. Though he saved the life of a matronly lamia that day, he was also partially crippled and forced into early retirement. Now unable to fit the image of her personal superman, Arthur's wife divorces him and leaves him to move into a cheaper home in the same monsterfolk slum that caused his current situation.

Logan Morrison has had quite the journey. After entering a contract as a small coven's Greater Familiar, he didn't have many aspirations beyond enjoying his new life and relationships. But then things just kind of... happened. Next thing he knew, Logan had dominated hundreds, going on thousands of witches, and that number is set to climb. It wasn't that he wanted to, mind you. In most cases, they forced his hand, doubting his status as the Inevitable Coven King of prophecy—the very first since Merlin himself.

After being trapped in the merciless realm of Hellspace, the Hellmarine has killed time mostly by single-handedly decimating the Demonic legions that once threatened humanity. Clad in salvaged armor adorned with the skulls of his enemies, wielding weapons forged in the fires of endless combat, he is humanity's ultimate weapon against the forces that would consume the multiverse.

It hasn't even been a year since I took down LuxCorp and helped pioneer a bold new model for Elseworlder integration. How did I do it? Why, with an old country Bed & Breakfast Inn and a bevy of beautiful women by my side. But things aren't all roses and daffodils just yet. In fact, Earth has just blipped onto the radar of the ancient sphinxes—powerful beings who will judge if our world is fit to keep our Elseworlders portals. The Arbiter has deemed a series of trials we need to pass in order to prove our worth.

After years as the Free States of Caldia's most lethal weapon, all I want is to study magic at Stoneway Academy and find something resembling a normal civilian life. The Great War against the Democratic Republic of Auropa has finally come to a ceasefire, but tensions haven't necessarily died down overnight.

On the day of his Proving, Apprentice Summoner Samuel Eamon chooses a white rabbit as his familiar, summoning a creature from the Outer Spheres and dubbing it “Snowball.” What he gets is a shapely succubus with bunny ears and a poofy cottontail.

With his new Summoner’s License, Samuel is sent with a former classmate as his escort to meet Runescribe Elantrica Ilmora—someone who just might be able to discern the truth behind his odd spin on Calling Magic.

After surviving a harsh winter, Eli finds himself in a unique situation when a long-lost dungeon is discovered on the property. It could be the perfect proving ground for the students who have earned their Class, but it could also become their tomb. It also doesn't help that the town of Last Stop is in danger.

With the love of a few good women by his side, anything is possible.

However, when Eli's World Quest updates with an ominous counter, he pushes for faster change, uncertain of what failure can mean. Things are further complicated when Alluria's long missing sister arrives with news of a time-bending dungeon.
