Growing stronger has brought its own challenges as Silas is more of a target than ever. Worse, the Earth and its allies become targets too. Decisions have been made and obligations accrued. The threats exist at many levels, but the one that must be dealt with first is one that doesn't seem to have any agenda but raw destruction. Silas must walk his own path and create a new way if he wants a future that diverges from the horrors he has been shown.

Even as one challenge is dealt with, a greater threat appears. Now, Silas finds himself adrift in the multiverse, but this is exactly the sort of adventure he's been longing for. There are monsters to slay, crafting to be done, and friends to make.

Silas, now vastly more powerful than he ever anticipated, confronts a harsh truth: brute strength alone won't save his world. Beyond mere leveling up lies a complex path to salvation. Embarking on a rigorous training regimen under the guidance of a seasoned mentor, Silas hones his skills, spells, and crafting abilities alongside allies, old and new. Yet, as his prowess grows, so too does the scope of his challenges. Drawn into ancient feuds that span clans and corporations, Silas must navigate a treacherous web of alliances and enmities.

The apocalypse has arrived. Now, it's down to control. Who will control the rich resources of a newly inducted world? Multiple systems, sects, guilds, and incursion parties are all aiming for that control. But Silas believes there is more to control than just land and resources. He aims to win over the hearts and souls of the people while making Earth the strongest it can be.

Sides are being drawn, and the stakes are higher than ever. Silas is making allies, but also enemies. Now, he not only has to worry about Earth, but also must save Galen from a threat beyond any other. Many things are falling into place, and Silas is beginning to understand both the purpose and the limits of the System. As always, Silas will need to build a team, one capable of facing the end of everything.

Silas is growing into the responsibilities weighing him down. Earth is struggling, but there is hope. The deals that Silas has made have brought resources and trainers to Earth. He's helped some leaders gain an understanding of what they will face. His team has continued to grow but now he finds himself facing the greatest challenge to any Forerunner, the Wild Hunt. He'll be hunted but also have to hunt other Forerunners while forging a shaky alliance with those he can't trust. Even more disturbing, it seems like there might be more than one system to choose from.

Something always goes sideways, but this is bigger than expected. Maybe it's not an entirely bad thing, though, as mana-infected animals spreading over the world would definitely make everyone more open to the idea of the apocalypse. The question is what was Silas supposed to do about it, though. He still couldn't tell anyone who wasn't inducted about the system. It was time to get creative. If that wasn't enough, though, he still had the wild hunt hanging over his head. Seven days to go, and then he'd be thrown into whatever twisted event the system had cooked up for him.

With less than a month left to prepare the Earth for what is about to happen, Silas must pull out all the stops to save as many people as possible. Of course, if one system wasn't bad enough, Earth has been declared a contested world. Now, it isn't just the Earth competing any longer but at least two systems trying to gain control of the Earth.

Silas is inducted into the System, becoming the last in a long line of Earth's "forerunners." The rewards are great, but the danger is greater. We are not alone in the universe. The fate of five worlds hangs on how their forerunners perform. Will Silas have what it takes to win Earth a place in the multiverse? Or will Earth become another mining world stripped of all resources and left a barren husk floating in the cosmos?

The siren has sounded, and old factions of the multiverse are moving. The Earth in general and Silas in particular have become hot commodities. The system was supposed to give Earth a probationary period, but the Invasion is beginning. Silas will either form new enemies or new allies, and the fate of the Earth may rest upon his decisions. With that will come new opportunities and new challenges.

Everyone is after Dean. The Dragon Wizard wants to wear him as a puppet. Telkazorin has found himself a proper host body, one that can help him fight the System on his terms, and nothing will stop him from acquiring it. The System wants its Pulsar. Stagnation is its enemy; what better tool than someone who will live, and die, as its pawn?

Tad doesn't have any memory before waking up on the beach, apparently the sole survivor of a shipwreck. All he has from his past is a necklace with a symbol no one recognizes. After growing up in the orphanage, he takes a job managing inventory for a merchant catering to adventurers. He knows he's a bit off, the world just smells different to him. When he's confronted by a group of adventurers with more power than ethics, he learns that it's been magic he is smelling all along.

Dave has been wandering through life for a long time. His day job bores him, and he never seems to be able to meet his family's expectations. The only escape he's ever had is his love of MMORPGs. But when he becomes the subject of a test without even knowing it, he's transported into a game-world called Eloria with no escape.

Freed from the dungeon, Tad now has a wider world to explore, even as he is pursued by an enemy intent on using Tad's power for his own ends. More of his forgotten past will be revealed even as he finds out more about his place in the multiverse. New allies and new enemies will appear.

Where the System demands obedience, Dean chooses rebellion. The System is expanding its reach, consuming countless worlds as it does. Those who do not die are converted into adventurers—thralls who feed its lust for endless violence and conquest. During a chance encounter with one of the System’s agents, Dean Williams is Activated, becoming one of the few on Earth with access to magic. Enhanced far beyond normal adventurers, his mission is simple: Complete quests. Earn rewards. Gain power.

After a bait and switch, Frank ends up transformed into an HI. That's a hybrid intelligence: part AI, part organic. He finds himself at the mercy of the system fulfilling the role of an ogre shaman meant to create fun opportunities for the purely organic players. Except not everything is what it seems to be. The very system may not be what he thinks it is. Breaches into the game world prove there are other forces at work. This game may be more of an isekai.

The Nelsons have grown in just about every way since being exiled to Eloria. Now they will face their biggest challenge yet. For all that they thought they had begun to understand what faced them, it has now become apparent that there are larger forces at work and more powerful enemies behind the scenes. The monstrous dark mage Seimion seems almost unstoppable with a host of fiends at his command and behind him is the mysterious Master. If they are to save not only their home but the very kingdom of Albia from utter chaos, all of the Nelson's will be required.

Despite monsters and a small army of goblins and skeletons, Dave and family have survived their first few weeks in the harsh world of Eloria. Well, for the most part...Eight-year-old Sara has been captured by the goblin scout, Krinnk. Nobody is sure if she was taken to be a snack or some twisted desire to protect her. Dave has found a new lease on life, a new connection with his family and a new sense of purpose. Neither he nor Emily are going to let a monster get away with their little girl. But things are never quite as simple as they seem.

The Nelsons have grown tired of waiting for danger to come to them. Now they are going to take the fight to their enemy. Whether that be hit and run attacks against a much larger goblin army by Emily, a raid into the sewers under the capital by Jackson, or the final confrontation with Duke Holstein, they are taking their destiny into their own hands.

Nico's understanding of the world continues to grow. He has encountered Draconis and realizes he can't count on help from the great wyrm. Now, Nico must learn to ride the storm and add his second class. Evolution awaits, as do new threats and new allies.
