System Fiction

Cal Bennett runs on one rule: Never stay in one place longer than eleven days. It's not paranoia—it's math. Ever since he struck Softbiotics, he's been a marked man. Their enforcers don't negotiate. They don't quit. And they're always one jump behind. His only edge is Byte, a cutting-edge AI...

Leonidas Paendrag spent five years in another world to defeat the Demon Lord and his literal armies of Hell, only for the final battle to unexpectedly send him back to Earth. Denied the rest he desperately wanted, he is instead thrust into a world of emerging fantasy races, warring human factions, and a dysfunctional family more intent on killing each other than the monsters roaming the planet.

They Thought Wrong. Bob Arnold was part of testing ancient technology that does not function correctly. After a decade, it is disposed of—but the damage is already done. The device pings a new alien civilization and brings it to Earth, along with a newer version of the System and its capabilities. They are not here to negotiate or understand. They are here to divide and conquer through a false evaluation and tutorial. Except they make a blunder in their assumptions. Humanity is not separated from the Galactic System because it is weak or primitive.

Luke was an ordinary Earth gamer until he woke up in the body of a fallen noble, surrounded by traitors and facing a blade to his throat. With his father murdered and his birthright stolen, he has only two things left: a lethally loyal butler and the Sovereign System. This isn't a typical RPG cheat code. The System is cold, demanding, and carries a brutal ultimatum: achieve dominance, or face immediate removal and certain death.

What if humanity’s next stage of evolution wasn’t discovered…But engineered? Elliot Voss spent decades pursuing a singular vision. Until he found a way to rewrite the rules of life itself.

The world doesn’t end with fire. It ends with a notification you can feel in your bones. Alec West was just trying to keep a remote communications relay alive when reality stutters—then rewrites itself. The sky fractures into a vast geometric lattice. The ground splits with impossible blue-white seams. And a force racing across the mountains—the First Wave—turns ordinary rules into a new kind of math.

Corporate flameout Ned Altimer dreams of leaving his world behind. So, when Earthblood Online splashes onto the VRMMO scene, he dives in and never looks back. His advantages are twofold: exclusive access to the game’s three-day Head Start period, and a ridiculously handsome talking axe named Frank who has knowledge of the game’s deepest secrets...if the magnificent Frank ever feels like sharing them.

For Fool and Jackal, the System Apocalypse was a chance to start again. A chance to rise, and be who they were meant to be. Now, they're trying to offer others the same opportunities as part of a secret organization helping humanity survive the System. Today's mission? Nothing big, just your typical save-the-princess quest. But when you're the Acolyte of a Trickster god, typical is the last thing you should expect. Just ask Fool's cat.

From award-winning sociologist Nicole Gonzalez Van Cleve comes the first account of mass wrongful conviction in America, indicting a system purposefully designed to ensnare Black youth in order to close cases “A must-read reckoning with past and present alike.”—Heather Ann Thompson...

Fight, survive, adapt, and rely only on yourself. That is Derek’s creed and what's got him through the System Integration on Earth. Everything changed when the System came. Cute bunnies and beautiful butterflies became savage killing machines. Then the Invaders arrived with a single goal: to obtain ownership of this new habitable planet. War has raged ever since. None of this mattered much to Derek, aside from making living a little more perilous.

A rusted tire iron, no pants, and a crown he never asked for. The apocalypse picked the wrong redneck. Timothy Ferguson was finally having a good day until the universe decided to reboot. One minute he was "negotiating" back rent with his gorgeous neighbor; the next, a glowing blue screen informed him that his latent Longshanks bloodline had activated and now all the ladies of the Trailer Park have decided their new King looks best in his birthday suit.

To stop an S-ranked invasion, the Omega must be forged. Two Singularities remain: the Metaphysical, trapped in the Underworld, and the Spectral, corrupted by Chaos at Terminus' lunar base. Terry leads a desperate raid to the moon to find a way to purge the Spectral. Instead, he is engaged in a deadly game of cat-and-mouse as corrupted beings hunt him through vacuum and steel. He may not be the hero Earth asked for, but he might be the one it needs.

The heroes Terry Fairway once idolized have turned against him, hunting him down at every turn. His grandfather, the ruthless S-ranked necromancer who rules the city, watches from his throne as the people starve and suffer. Vampires stalk the streets unchecked, feeding on the innocent without fear of reprisal. Terry always believed his family were the good guys, but Wichita isn't a city of heroes or villains—it's a city of power. And if power is all that matters, then power is what Terry will seize.

Glitches are appearing across the Minecraft server. Blocks are flickering unexpectedly and randomly disappearing. To make matters worse, villagers are claiming that their entire villages have mysteriously vanished, and they desperately need Gameknight999's help. What's causing the server to overload and glitch, and where have all the NPCs gone? The User-that-is-not-a-user suspects the two questions are related, and that somehow Herobrine's henchmen are responsible.

Robert's journey continues, but not as planned. Removed from Earth, Robert Williams arrives in Oakhaven with his new student, Elara. Book 2 sees Robert solidify his foundation, Start to build a home, and delving into the lucrative art of Enchanting. As Elara begins her own rapid magical development thanks to Robert's unique Teaching skill, Robert grapples with local politics, establishes vital connections, and crafts powerful artifacts.

The world didn't end. It just leveled up in this epic LitRPG adventure. Fourteen-year-old Caden Taylor was more worried about his grades than his stats. But that was before the universe hit the reset button. Now, the world he knew is gone, replaced by a new reality governed by a game-like System. With stats, skills, and quests, it's the ultimate Gamelit challenge where survival is the only goal. When the timer hits zero, the world he knew is deleted.

What would happen in a world governed by the Ascendants, the highest level people in the System, when the System itself resets due to the death of its creator? When the levels, classes, skills, and even Legendary Feats of every user are wiped, and everyone is sent to a new dimension to start all over again?

The vampires that once haunted Wichita are gone, reduced to ash. But Terry’s real war is only beginning. Topeka is burning, caught in the ruthless crossfire of S-ranked tyrants locked in a game of conquest. While the city suffers, the supers wage war.

The Primordial of Entropy has arrived on Earth, and he’s here to… help? After some quick thinking by Hades and an evolution that has far-reaching consequences, Drew manages to position himself in a way that should make him appear neutral to the visiting Primordial. But in doing so, his relationship to The Baleful Lady is irrevocably changed.

No more cute koala bears, bouncy kangaroos, or fuzzy wallabies. Now, everything is mutated and aggressive? Who made the spiders so big? The world's most dangerous continent just got a lot more dangerous, and no one, not even the alien Galactics who arrive, are ready for it.
