Ever since I discovered that I can kill magical creatures, trap their souls in precious gems, and use them to cast spells of my own, I haven’t had a moment’s rest. I have to balance my academics with learning how to use my powers and capture more souls in more gems to grow my spell collection. All the while avoiding angry aristocrats, nosy professors, criminal mobsters, and evil dwarves bent on destroying the civilized kingdoms. Luckily, I have some handy magic, a super awesome foxgirl and the hottest elven girl in school by my side, so nothing can stop me.

My father is a terrible man. He claimed a demon lived inside me and imprisoned me for months in his torture chamber. Then, one fateful day, he found himself on the bitter end of a curse, and he offered me in exchange for his freedom. I thought my life was over, but I was wrong. While trapped in the curse creator's ancient castle, phantoms begin speaking to me. They caress me with invisible hands, and proclaim I’m theirs. At night, however, when the phantoms leave, terrifying beasts emerge. Their snarls and roars awaken something dark in me, and their pull is impossible to resist.

Things are definitely awesome under the sea. Not only have I added a mermaid wife to my harem, but my reputation as the Hero of Legend keeps growing as I continue to kick a--. Now, I’ve set my sights on Eudora, the sea witch who has terrorized the merpeople. And that hag is going down.

As a child, I was nearly killed by a demon, and ever since, the only thing I've cared about is becoming a blood knight. Using the mana inside my blood to protect others from the monsters that plague the world. Eight years I devoted to training, and finally, I was ready to be tested. My blood was measured and assessed, laid bare for all to see. And it was found wanting. I was given the lowest rank possible, just barely meeting the requirements to take the prestigious Sanguine Academy entrance exam. But I aim to prove them wrong.

The duchess has believed my con, and now she is almost mine. As soon as I make her my monster-girl, my coup of this city will begin. Then I will make every aristocrat my monster-girl and rule this place.

The DEPP has transported Dave and his lovely women to another even more alien and dangerous version of Earth than the last. They have to begin fortifying their trans-dimensional territory if they have any hope of surviving these hostile environments. Cambrian Era monstrosities and massive tidal surges caused by an angry moon goddess are pretty nasty challenges for anybody to survive, but a flesh eating blob that wants to devour all life on Earth? That’s just not fair.

It started with the insects. Before society realized the danger, the Earth had inexorably begun a transformation into a place where life could not survive. A small group found shelter in the Arc, an underground refuge safe from the toxins ravaging the surface. After centuries of darkness, humanity’s second chance is running out - and Raven Wilder knows it. Her job fixing the machinery in the Arc makes her aware of how close everything is to breaking down. When her six-year-old begins showing signs of oxygen deprivation, Raven refuses to go quietly into oblivion.

Her name is Odd. Twelve-year-old Audrey Wyatt bears the unfortunate nickname "Odd", a name even her bar-hopping, alcoholic mother uses when she's sober enough to recognize the girl. Cowed by life, Odd doesn't protest, not when she's deformed as she is. Born with a combination of rare birth defects, Odd's eyes are a startling and dreadful red. Demon eyes is the first thought that springs to mind. The little girl takes care to hide them behind dark sunglasses, something her mother insists on, except when she's trading freak-show peeks for dollars or drinks.

Evan’s royal campaign to win over the people of Rahma has taken him to the northern peninsula. And straight to the gates of the underwater city of Pullis. The Green Glass Sect is up to no good under the sea, and it’s up to Evan and his party to save the merfolk from traitors and the ever-corrupting presence of miasma.

Jason’s lifelong dream was to study history at the prestigious University of Cambridge in England. But when portals started opening all over the world and thousands of hungry dinosaurs began to pour out of them, Jason suddenly regrets being in a country without guns. With the London police outnumbered, and the British military outgunned, it will be up to Jason to protect his two beautiful girlfriends from being eaten by prehistoric beasts. Together, the three of them will need to learn how to survive in a world that now belongs to the dinosaurs.

Now that Evan has the Celestial Triad in his possession, what’s the next step? Well, conquering the spirits of the relics and assimilating their awesome powers, of course. But that’s not all Evan will be conquering. Lady Naomi’s defenses have been quickly dwindling, and Evan thinks it’s time to show her how a real dragon male can make her feel.

The mysterious portals are continuing to open, hordes of murderous dinosaurs are pouring out, and the British military has abandoned population centers to defend critical infrastructure like power plants. That’s bad news for Jason and his two co-ed companions who are holed up in the campus art gallery, trying to ride out the reptilian storm. With no rescue on the way, they will have to learn to survive not just the savage dinosaurs, but also the humans who want their possessions.

The midterms are over, and I’ve succeeded, not only in passing, but I’ve also managed to increase my blood rank from E to D, something that’s never been done before. With all my recent successes, I should be satisfied with my progress. Not a chance. Cromwell’s don’t settle, and I’m not going to stop until I climb to the very top and stand proud next to my sister and all of the other prodigies at S-Rank. But it was foolish of me to believe I could defy the natural order of the world and just climb the ranks freely and that there wouldn’t be consequences.

Yes, I killed all the supervillians housed in the Grayville Ultramax Prison. I’m sure some, like the Shadow Knight, would consider that to be crossing a line and an unforgivable act of an unrepentant mass murderer. I consider it another high-performance day on the job. If the Shadow Knight has a problem with it, he knows where to find me. I really hope he does have a problem.

The world isn't what it used to be after the first apocalypse. Scourge roam the desolate wasteland, preying on whoever dares set foot outside the few remaining Megapolis. While enforcing tax from the local province, Raiden and the Mercenary Union's cultivator team come face to face with the latest the Scourge could throw at them: monstrosities far beyond their capabilities. Surviving an onslaught they shouldn't have, the small group manages to find their way home, only to get caught up in a decades-old political play for power.

Bodyguarding two beautiful twins on their journey to a poker tournament wasn’t my normal type of work as a wandering Sellsword, but the pay is good and the ladies weren’t hard on the eyes. But as I quickly learned, there was more than meets the eye to these twins, and trouble follows them everywhere. What should be a simple excursion is very likely to end in a blood bath, and it would take all my skills to make sure none of it was mine.

I’m playing a dangerous game working for a crime syndicate while trying to overthrow them from within. And when the crime syndicate is working with our country’s mortal enemies to destroy our kingdom, and will do anything to keep that information private, I have tread very carefully. But thanks to my talented and beautiful girlfriends, and my ability to capture souls in gems to cast magical spells, nothing is going to stop me.

The Great West stretched on endlessly, and it was filled with pioneer mining towns, magic, and opportunity. But it was also filled with brigands, monsters, and the unknown. Fortunately, I was around to protect people. For a price, that is.

As a mercenary with no Divine Core, Xin Sang is resigned to a life of grunt work, fighting the lesser fiends like wyrmspawn that are far beneath the notice of the mighty Ascendants. But when an Archfiend—an Ebon Wyrm—appears and threatens to annihilate his mercenary crew, Xin must rise above his limitations and show them why he's the best. And why he's been running and hiding for so long.

Bradley receives a second chance on a steampunk planet. The wondrous sights captivate, the gizmos fascinate, and it is all possible with steam. His foes close in, his ally goes missing, and Bradley must adapt to win the day.
