Have you ever wondered how and why the animals came to be as they are? In these magical tales, drawn from stories he heard as a child in India as well as on folk traditions he later collected all over the world, Rudyard Kipling gives some wonderfully imaginative explanations.

But the universe—and his infuriatingly loyal paladin sidekick—has other plans. Now, saddled with a glowing sword, a golden retriever in armor, and a dangerously sexy elf who keeps blowing things up, Chaddick must bluff, brawl, and bed his way through destiny before anyone realizes he’s a fraud. Because saving the world is easy.

Ludger was supposed to be just another forgotten soul, reborn into a quiet life under the care of his young mother, Elaine. With nothing but a mysterious system in his vision and the faint promise of growth, he resigned himself to learning the humble trade of cooking. Knives, fire, seasoning—his skills grew sharper than his years, but it wasn’t the power-fantasy adventure he once dreamed of. That is, until one reckless night in the tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever.

The Howling season is over, but Perry’s domain will soon face its greatest challenge yet. Off the coast, ancient horrors rise from the sea, battering the kingdom’s borders. And nearby mountain clans have decided Perry is a threat best eliminated before he can grow any stronger. With danger closing in from every side, even building new airships and working towards Hydra-soul might not be enough. So Perry delves into Aeternia’s past, uncovering ancient secrets—and unexpected allies.

When Perry gets isekai’d into a young noble with newfound magical powers, he must choose between surviving on the Front, a mystical battleground with sky-high mortality, or pledging an oath to become a Magus Dominus. A mage lord. The title sounds nice, but the responsibilities are punishing. Perry must develop and protect a domain in the hostile north. His grasp on magic leaves much to be desired, but with the help of a loyal servant and his half-sister, a tempestuous Storm mage, he has a fighting chance.

After years away, Ludger returns to the capital for business deals that could strengthen the Lionsguard and House Torvares. What should be a political and commercial trip soon turns into something bigger when his first international mission drags him into a dangerous conspiracy. Not the obvious...

My chances for escape look pretty bleak when I’m handcuffed to Tony’s bodyguard, an intimidating man named Shepherd who apparently loves tight shirts and seems to be amused by making my life miserable. Soon, though, I learn that Shepherd has a heart and a brain.

Kipling’s Just So Stories are among the most enduring classic children’s tales. They follow the traditional genre of stories which explain how unusual natural phenoma came about, often using fantastic and highly magical explanations. Kipling himself was born and spent his very early life in India, and some of the inspiration for these stories comes from traditional tales he heard from his ayah and the family’s other servants.

"How the Whale Got His Throat", "The Elephant's Child", "How the Leopard Got His Spots", "How the Alphabet Was Made" and "The Butterfly That Stamped" are just a few of these enchanting tales of the dawn of the world.

With Gaius Stonefist's help, Ludger finally finishes the stone bridge. The moment it's done, he pushes forward and reaches the runic golems labyrinth… but the road to it is already trying to kill him. Along the way, a giant sea monster rises and nearly tears the Ironhand Guild's fleet apart, turning a "professional expedition" into a desperate scramble for survival. An invitation to the capital. A business proposal. Something that could be enormously beneficial… or a trap dressed in silk.

He’s a criminal—an abomination. We’re wrong in every way. If only I could’ve convinced my heart. His lips whispered promises of all the stars in the sky. I dreamt of a love that would last forever. We were gorgeously young and desperate for one another. But we're star-crossed. Fate had decided our course. Leaving us to cling to each other as we crumbled to ash. His need became possession. My innocence turned jaded. Our families declared war. All that remained was hate. But Calder was raised by wolves. The rules didn’t apply. I was his until he said otherwise—for better or for worse.

Kain Asheld put a marker to the three people closest to him on a quiet ridge overlooking the valley where they'd always promised to meet. His brother Mark never wanted the mercenary life. He wanted to farm. He never got the chance. Kain bought the land with his share of a final bounty and a desperate need for silence. The locals call it Madder's Place. Ten acres of rotting floorboards, a collapsed roof, and fields the wild took back a decade ago. They'd been talking about burning it down.

In Lionfang, Ludger sees the pattern the System won’t let him ignore: trouble never stops coming. So he does what no sensible kid should, he starts building something meant to outlast panic. The Lionsguard guild begins as a hard, practical answer to chaos. Not a tavern guild chasing glory, but an organization that feeds, houses, and trains its people. Word spreads. Coin follows. The guild grows—contract by contract, stone by stone, into the closest thing the frontier has to stability. Then a letter arrives that can’t be ignored.

While barbarians were getting ready to continue the invasion, adults argued and soldiers postured, Ludger with a system in his eyes realized something far more unsettling: if trouble kept coming time and time again, someone would have to meet it head-on. That decision dragged him far from home and straight into the tutelage of a shameless drunkard, an earth mage whose greatest talents were leveling mountains and emptying bottles. Unfortunately for Ludger, the man was also a former guildmaster.
