Harrick Gallow spends a century as the strongest warrior alive, though only the elites know he exists. So he does exactly that.

After years on the run across the multiverse, I'd genuinely hoped the quiet coastal town of Arkley would be the perfect place to settle down. I just wanted somewhere to take it easy on the morning school run, to pile the hot chocolate high with marshmallows, and to enjoy a few high-stakes games of Keepy Uppy with my daughter, Edie. Oh, and being able to keep my Supremacy-grade magic strictly hidden away wouldn't go amiss either. But the powers-that-be had to go and make life complicated, didn't they? You see, our new backyard sits right on top of a dimensional tear.

A midnight witch hunt had an unexpected final destination: Ben Ford's living room. Ben was a simple man.

Once the proverbial dust cleared, he realized that building a life with these three women would be harder than anticipated; they didn't exist in the legal sense, after all.

He breaks past the impossible Level 99 barrier and reaches Level 105, something long believed to be unattainable. Recently, he kills the Demon Lord. Except, unlike before, no one has an inkling that the Demon Lord is dead yet.

My freshman year has been anything but orthodox: ogres, a draconic bloodline, and a nest of corrupted bureaucrats who'd love to see me fail. I've survived it all thanks to the team at my side—loyal, lethal, and lovelier than I ever thought I deserved. Now we have to prove we belong here in a trial designed to break squads that aren't perfectly in sync. And we're about to add a new piece to the puzzle: Seema, a late-starting lionkin with almost a whole year to make up for.

Chris Wright thought moving to the country would be simple. A new house. Fresh air. Chickens in the yard. A quieter life with Mia, Zooey, and Echo, built on their own terms, far from the noise of the city. Ashbury has other ideas.

And no matter how hard Chris tries to fit in, it’s obvious they’re being quietly shut out. Then he meets Hazel. Bright, kind, and endlessly generous, Hazel radiates a warmth that pulls people in without effort.
