Jason and his friends just wanted to spend a week at the lake house. Time to relax, hang out, and catch up on old times. Then the System arrived. It only took a few hours for their world to become a real-life roleplaying game; trading some downtime for the need to learn new skills and powers while trying to defend their new home, their families, and survive. They don’t know the rules. They don’t know what’s coming next. What they do know is; they need to reinforce and expand their fort while protecting it, keep leveling up, and explore a dangerous new world.

I told my secret twice now, to you and my best friend. Now it is time to keep that secret again. Because if they knew I was still alive, it would mean losing my freedom. Maybe even my life. Only for me to end up in the wrong place. Their place.

You might think a month away from fighting sentient cubical supplies in a threatening alt-reality office would mean a break for James Lyle. But . . . you'd be wrong. Even though James has taken a beat from adventuring into the dungeon hidden within the stairwell of his workplace, he's been dealing with plenty of stress-inducing issues, from raising a recently corporeal infomorph to navigating his newly minted relationship with his best friends, fighting his own depression, and wrestling with the moral implications of his burgeoning powers.

Writing advice tends to be full of "rules" and "tips" which are either too broad to be helpful or outright wrong. In On Writing and Worldbuilding, we will discuss specific and applicable ideas to consider, from effective methods of delivering exposition and foreshadowing, to how communication, commerce, and control play into the fall of an empire.

The Wave didn’t just break the world. It gave it rules. In the aftermath of the First Wave, survivors learn the truth fast: the System isn’t a one-time catastrophe—it’s an operating system settling in. The sky’s lattice still hums. The HUD still watches. And every mile outside shelter turns into a stat check you can fail only once. Alec West has one goal: keep his people alive long enough to understand what’s happening. But understanding isn’t enough. Because the next step isn’t surviving. It’s claiming territory. When a new phenomenon appears—an engineered, expanding ...

Bastion was supposed to be a sanctuary. A golden dome. Hot food. Guards on the walls. A place where the apocalypse finally stops hunting you. Then the System flips a switch. PVP ENABLED. Overnight, survival becomes a scoreboard. Human-on-human combat starts paying out. Bounties appear—some for monsters… and some for people. And inside Bastion’s walls, two factions begin to tear the city apart from the inside: those who want to cooperate with the System… and those who would rather burn it down than become its tool.

She awoke as a silent scream, a nascent core consciousness buried in a dying, sterile world. To survive the iron grip of the Harmonic Concord, Elara must become life – a beautiful, vibrant plague against their oppressive grey order. As a World-Seed, her only path is to grow.

Each new bloom is a living tower, each expansion of her dungeon domain a defiant cry against the encroaching ...

Doc watches on as his slimes take on new life and form the budding beginnings of tribal life, complete with leaders, goals, and increasing rivalries.

The problem with toppling empires is what you do when they start to notice. King Daneel has done what everyone said was impossible: forged a kingdom out of former enemies, bent ruthless powers to his banner, and dragged Angaria to the edge of a new era. But the higher he climbs, the more crowded the shadows around his throne become. As the continent gathers for his grand tournament, hidden forces move. Assassins whisper his name in a mountain fortress that has never fallen. Ancient formations stir awake. And far above the roaring arena, someone is watching. With Eloise reborn into power and...

He conquered the shadows. Now he has to rule in the light. Daneel once fell into Angaria as a broke nobody from Earth. Now he wears a crown, commands a living System built for world domination, and has left a trail of broken plans, shattered kingdoms, and humiliated “masters” behind him. The Big Four tried to use him. The Church tried to erase him. The old powers of the continent now say his name like a curse. With his enemies closing in and unrest simmering across the continent, Daneel takes his boldest risk yet: stepping fully onto the world’s stage and forcing every kingdom, every ...

Power in Angaria is finally moving in two directions at once—forward, and toward the edge of a cliff. New trade roads and the first great rail lines begin stitching old enemies together. Lanthanor, Eldinor, and the Black Raven Kingdom are dragged into the same future whether they like it or not, as steel, formations, and the Network start to bind their fates. Every train that roars across the land proves what this new age could be… and offers a perfect target to anyone who wants to break it. As sabotage, bandits, and carefully aimed outrage test the limits of his control, Daneel reaches...
