An oathbreaker paladin. An angel with a dark secret. An unexpected partnership to restore a shattered world. Centuries ago, a cabal of powerful mages cast a disastrous spell that corrupted the source of magic, transforming much of the world's population into merciless monsters called Riven. Empires crumbled. Civilization collapsed.

Magic is real—all the myths and legends of mankind come from a place that actually exists. And Jonathan is about to go there… The world of Skyhall awaits, unlocked by a mysterious inheritance from Jonathan’s eccentric, adventuring uncle. The threats are legion—dungeons, undead, wyverns, and beastfolk—but Jonathan has a unique class that will give him the power to expand and improve his own airship. In time, he will turn it into a veritable fortress and flying palace.

I should've known peace would never come easy. Settling into civilian life at Stoneway Academy was supposed to be the hard part. Now, with finals behind me and a sprawling new manor to share with the witches I love most, I figured I'd earned a little quiet. A bigger bedroom. Maybe even a summer where nobody tries to blow up the school, drag me to hell, or end the world. That'd be the day.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

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.

After the harrowing adventures of their previous trip into the Human Era ruins, Liam and the girls are ready for a bit of a break. The trip underground taught them where they were strong, and where they needed to improve. And one area that they have decided on is that they need to expand their little adventuring party.

Two centuries ago, the First Expansionary Fleet set off to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, hoping to explore, colonize, and conquer new worlds in the name of humanity. But when the fleet was violently and unexpectedly thrown off course, the colonists found themselves trapped in an unexplored region of the galaxy—and caught right in the middle of a bloody interstellar war. Now, after generations of relentless fighting, a tentative truce has finally ushered in an era of growth and prosperity.

The orcs have returned, and a showdown is looming. My business in Hamelin is finished, but there is no peace waiting for me in Sevona. Fresh from the slaughter at Nitrovia, the Orc Emperor delivers a simple ultimatum: surrender or die. As our forces mobilize, the enemy unleashes a talisman of unimaginable power. One that could cast a shadow over the entire continent. And one we might not be able to defeat.

With the orcs looking victorious and my best talismans destroyed, I have to gamble on one last magical artifact. It comes from Valeria of House Dante, the beautiful and passionate leader of a battered family. The only way for us to win is by working together, but will it be enough to save Trastevere and throw back the orcs for good?

The UEC has been fighting a losing battle against the demonic hordes, forced to surrender more ground every day. But aboard the U.S.S. Shotgun Opera, the Overmaiden—a sixth-generation Ghost AI—has just forged humanity’s perfect weapon and best hope: a supersoldier. The man he used to be is gone, lost with his family to demons on the mining world of Aonus. All that’s left is hate, rage, and unyielding power. Rip, crunch, gore, dismember—the unstoppable juggernaut will slaughter his way through Hell, driven by righteous fury and a singular drive.

Nick’s life as a Medium is leveling up fast, but the stakes just hit a breaking point. The Ghost Academy—the private sanctuary for his beautiful ghost companions—is under siege by an ancient, soul-devouring threat. For the women Nick has sworn to protect, failure doesn't just mean passing on; it means eternal torment. With his best friend’s death swiftly approaching and the Academy’s defenses crumbling, Nick is backed into a corner. His only way out? A high-stakes pact with a shy, stunning Poltergeist who doesn’t know her own strength.

Mason and his growing army of players survived a goblin invasion. Now it's time for revenge. They're going into the nearby mountain, ready to face wizards, assassins, arcane machinery and giant trolls, ready to remove the threat to their settlement once and for all. But will Mason's alliance-forming brother Blake have other plans? Can their two 'visions' of ruthless survival and world-unification co-exist?

I thought surviving the war was hard. Turns out, being a celebrity war hero at magic school comes with its own unique challenges. Just when I was getting comfortable with my new life at Stoneway Academy, the monsters in the Shadow Wood of Misery decided to get a lot more aggressive, and I can't help but feel like it's my problem to deal with.

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.

I stopped a demon-possessed warship and saved a kingdom. Surely a quiet semester at magic school isn't too much to ask? Apparently it is. A demon queen from my war days has started haunting my dreams, and she's got plans for the portal to hell sitting right under Stoneway Academy. The paladins say everything's fine. The headmistress says the ancient tree keeping the demons sealed is perfectly healthy. Meanwhile, I'm waking up smelling like brimstone and watching corruption spread through the school's roots.

The war in Troyan is nearly over when mythical ice giants begin ravaging the northern coasts. To counter the threat, I'll have to sail to the remote island of Meranthia, where rogue pirates guard the secret of a floating ice platform at the heart of the chaos. Its purpose? To restore the balance of the world by blanketing the entire continent in endless winter. With my women at my side, I will end the threat of these legendary creatures. Or die trying.

My capital lies in ruins after the Gray Prince's assault, aided by the treacherous Lucius Trante. With war on the horizon, my legions take the field, ready to punish those standing in our way. But Prince Ashur is no ordinary foe. With three powerful talismans, he hopes to outlast my army while unleashing his will across Trastevere. To strike back, I must tame an ancient and dangerous creature, where any wrong move could be my last.
