Ten years after defeating the Architect and bringing down the System, Sloan Park believed his battle days were over. Settled in a mountain cottage with Sara, he traded godhood for peace, splitting firewood instead of enemy skulls and finding quiet satisfaction in an ordinary life. But when Luther appears with news of a Category Red alert, Sloan's retirement shatters. A new threat tears through Zone 7, something worse than Rifts, spawning white-helmeted Harvesters that transform reality itself. And they're calling Sloan's name.

The Black Baron is dead. The refugees have been settled. Columbia stands stronger than ever. So why does Caden Taylor feel like everything's about to fall apart? In the six months since the System transformed Earth, the fifteen-year-old sharpshooter has grown from awkward freshman to junior commander of one of the region's most capable adventuring teams. He's navigated politics, led combat operations, and somehow found time to fall for Emily Bridger—the girl who keeps calling him on his crap. But the world isn't done testing him.

Getting hit by a truck didn't Isekai Arthur Ward, but he did wake up in a world forever changed. When Earth evolves, passing a threshold few even knew existed, humanity is whisked away by the Grand System to engage in an educational Tutorial to bring them up to speed, the introduction of the new energy source that has been made available: Ether.

Two weeks have passed since the System's descent. Humanity is adapting, some thrive, whilst others struggle to survive. Arthur Ward has made quite a name for himself as one of the premier healers in all of America. Things are going well. He's growing into his strength and making strides towards unlocking a powerful class. Missing the Tutorial is quickly proving to be the best thing that's ever happened to him. Unfortunately, peace cannot last. Nefarious groups have started coming out of the woodwork, people with no qualms about what or who they must sacrifice to fulfill their goals.

Melvin has normal problems. High school. Tests. Trying to find a girlfriend (and failing...miserably). But one day he awakens with access to a System that governs all magic. In his attempt to summon a teacher to show him the ropes, he botches the ritual and accidentally summons a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae. Sure, she's powerful and deadly. A femme fatale who's more intimidating than even the most popular girls at school.

Arthur Ward is no stranger to loss. Life has taken from him time and time again. With the descent of the Grand System, he almost believed things might have changed. Unfortunately, the world is not so kind a place. Arthur finally knows why he's been struggling so much with his magic, and the answer reveals a fate more dire than anything he could have ever imagined. Ether is the least of his worries when death itself looms on the horizon, the destruction of his very being.

Born over a century after "The Rise", Jeff scavenges with his tyrannical mother for survival. Banned from cultivating freely, Jeff wants none of this life; his one objective is to join the immortal rankers as they attempt to climb the Northern Tower. On the day of his escape, a powerful guild attacks Leah’s group, and Jeff is thrown through a unique dungeon portal—a portal that hasn’t been used in nearly a hundred years. In the pursuit of Jeff’s ultimate goal, he must choose whether to follow the Church, join a guild, or try it all on his own.

Getting dragged into an alien world was not high on Elias Critchley's to-do list. One moment, he's trying to avoid eye contact with people on the school bus. The next, he's suspended mid-air in a bizarre tutorial and dumped—naked—into a dangerous, System-bound world where survival is far from guaranteed. With nothing but his sarcasm, stubborn streak, dry wit and a few skills from his old life, Elias must navigate a world that feels like the games he used to play… only now, dying doesn't come with a respawn.

Elias and his friends have made their way to Hepton. Having survived the System's demands so far, they are about to start on the next stage of their adventure. With new powers, tougher quests, and enemies that refuse to stay dead, Elias is pushed to his limits as both a fighter and a leader. The System itself is watching. Testing them, and happy to remind Elias who's really in control. Aside from the quests, the group enters their first instanced-dungeon, and while the rewards might be greater, the tasks in front of them are much tougher.

Getting kidnapped by the System and dumped into a fantasy world wasn't on Elias Critchley's to-do list. Still, he's managed to stay alive, level up, and keep most of his insides on the inside. Now the System's sent him and his party to a crumbling estate with a haunted past, a grieving lord, and a boy only Elias can see—one who isn't quite alive, but may not be dead either. The task? Fix it all. Quietly. Preferably without being eaten by anything with too many teeth.

Declan Dark never signed up to be a vampire—let alone a blind one with a mysterious System whispering in his skull. After one disastrous bachelor party, he's plunged into Sin City's secret supernatural underworld, where every shadow conceals a predator, and even his allies might be out for his blood.

Imagine what it would be like to study for less time and get all "A"s. Imagine never again having to cram for exams and "acing" every test every time.

Die erste Etappe ist geschafft. Ivan Susanin hat es geschafft, zu überleben und zusammen mit den anderen Anführern die verschiedenen Akteure in der Allianz zu vereinen. Doch das ist erst der Anfang. Eine riesige Goblin-Armee nähert sich von den Außenbezirken der Stadt, während die Untoten in der Stadt umherstreifen. Die Menschen auf der Erde sitzen zwischen allen Stühlen. Die einzige Möglichkeit, einem weiteren Massaker zu entgehen, besteht darin, die Goblin-Festung einzunehmen und bis zum Ende der Mission durchzuhalten.

Ivan Susanin, ein Durchschnittstyp und arbeitsloser Technikfreak, wird vom System aufgenommen und zusammen mit tausend anderen Spielern an einen unbekannten Ort jenseits der Erde transportiert. Ivan hat ein Interface, einen Speer und grundlegende Fähigkeiten an der Waffe. Alles, was er tun muss, um zur Erde zurückzukehren, ist, eine einfache Quest abzuschließen und das zweite Level zu erreichen. Aber Erfahrungspunkte werden in diesem Spiel nur für Kills vergeben, und die Uhr tickt. Wer nicht innerhalb von 24 Stunden punktet, bleibt für immer in der Location.
