After returning from the dungeon—and discovering that the mysterious woman he met was Fiona Kollum, general of the enemy army—Thomas believes he’ll finally have time to rest and train. Instead, hidden political schemes begin to unravel, and their first victim is Maria Von Pinwood, Veronica’s mother. Driven by a desperate need to save her, Thomas fully diagnoses her condition and sets out to find a cure, only to learn that the most crucial ingredient grows deep within hostile Virillia—the Elven Kingdom of Elvandar.

Nathan Reed survived the Moirath Forest and the brutal training of Master Darkan, but his reward was a betrayal. His guaranteed entry into the prestigious Shifting Trials has been stolen by the elite, leaving him stranded in the industrial sprawl of Maelivar. Without the combat fame to challenge the nobility, Nathan has to get creative. He can’t fight his way in, so he’ll have to cook his way in. But the Trials are a slaughterhouse designed to weed out the weak.

Thomas's plans to train after reaching the Pinwood estate have been quickly dwarfed by a new arrival—Fiona, a mysterious woman with pale skin, red hair, crimson eyes and an attitude that could make Hera blush. After a few encounters, the two find themselves moving through a strange dungeon where nothing is exactly as it seems and forming a deeper bond. Yet, the mystery of who the woman is remains even after they leave, and her sudden disappearance only puts more questions in Thomas's head.

For two years, Nathan has been a failure. Cursed with an abysmal energy absorption rate, he's the weakest disciple in the Verdant Spire Sect and faces certain expulsion. His dream of returning to Earth to save his ailing mother is about to die. He's a talentless cultivator at the bottom of the food chain, with one day left to change his fate.

Eric Grayson killed a prince upon the black sand of the Imperial Arena, and the Empire cheered. The Emperor named him Exalted Prince, then dumped the dead man's holdings into his lap. New estates. New enemies. A new household traumatized by a monster. Tasked by the ruthless Emperor to craft legendary weapons that may be the Empire's only defense, Eric must balance arcane studies, dungeon expeditions, and the volatile alliances within his growing house.

All James wants is a comfortable retirement with a wife or a dozen if he can pull it off. Alas, the world and everyone in it make sure to conspire against his only wish. It is his destiny to have no rest, after all. Out of the bleak forest he and his newly formed Hu Clan go. Charging headlong into powerful Beggars that somehow have all the intel, Merchant Empires, new Calamities, and more. It doesn't help that his girls are developing murderhobo and loot goblin traits. It is hard being a grandfather to two girls that are as strong as the elite of the world.

When a trio of cute goblins emerged from a silver portal that appeared out of nowhere on my property...things got a bit more complicated all of a sudden. Also, I soon discovered they bite and scratch: mostly each other, but sometimes me.

Nathaniel wakes up in a fancy bed with luxurious red sheets, being doted upon by two... interesting women. Not a bad start to his day, right? Except that this isn't where he went to bed last night, and these chicks? A ghost and a vampire, both pretty spooky—and quirky—to say the least. He comes to learn that he is the last known scion of the Van Helsing bloodline. However, his new job isn't to hunt monsters, but to save them.

James is unable to take advantage of his Ancient Predecessor persona! Even after escaping the Silver Mountain Gang, the direct number of Jade Beauties drops precipitously. At least he doesn't need to deal with any he meets trying to kill him anymore. Who is he kidding? It's still his ultimate goal. Into the Bleak Forests he and the Hu girls, Hu Shui and Hu Jun, go. A mysterious couple that seems awfully familiar follows them. Will they be met with danger? Monsters? World shaking beasts and spirits?

Deep in the elbow skin of the Fae Wilds, far from the teeming fortress of the Goblin King and the glittering palace of the King and Queen of the Elves, there lies a forgotten hideaway of crumbling single-wides and rusty Airstreams. A lonely clan of beautiful women, clad in tube tops, overall shorts, and tacky Asian-print house-dresses, yearn for a man who can unstop their sewer lines and get the internet working again. Torn from his mundane life on Earth, Colton Winchester could be that man.

In the magic lands of the Fae Wild, the Goblin King's virility is the lifeblood of the realm. But an insidious curse has put the kingdom on the precipice of a population panic. Enter Thomas Stone: architect, engineer, and unknowing half-blood heir to the goblin throne. Whisked away to a world where baby-making makes the world go round, Thomas finds himself in a pickle thicker than goblin stew. Birth rates are dropping faster than a fairy on a bad flight path, and it’s up to Thomas to save the fae from themselves.

I thought my life was full with two beautiful, amazing women to love. Adding Meredith to our family has grown things in ways I could never have expected. But Meredith’s needs are not the same as Lexie’s and Olivia’s, and when I’m given a chance to advance my career by moving to a prominent venture capital firm led by one of the city’s most interesting investors, I know I need to accept. Yet doing so brings me into a world I may not be ready for, and it takes me into the orbit of a young woman who’s like no one I’ve ever met.

Deep in the elbow skin of the Fae Wilds, far from the teeming fortress of the Goblin King and the glittering palace of the King and Queen of the Elves, there lies a forgotten hideaway of crumbling single-wides and rusty Airstreams. A lonely clan of beautiful women, clad in tube tops, overall shorts, and tacky Asian-print house-dresses, yearn for a man who can unstop their sewer lines and get the internet working again.

For two years, I’ve lived the dream. Family, friends, career, and four beautiful, wonderful women sharing my life and my home. But life moves forward. My daughter Maddie is getting married, kicking into motion a range of issues we’d thought settled and dealt with. Meredith is starting to feel the baby lust, and that’s a big decision when I could be a grandfather soon. Ariella is fitting in better than I’d expected, but she’s still keeping secrets from us.

One day I was enjoying my early retirement out in the countryside, taking comfort in the simplicity of my off grid lifestyle. Hunting and gardening provided the bulk of my own food, and I slept and did my work from inside my converted shipping container mini-home. It could get a bit lonely at times—but it gave me the space I needed to get away from the city...and my past.

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. That’s the old human saying anyway. For Bryce, it’s a little more literal. He’s a Feral Mage, someone who gains the abilities of monsters by devouring them. This magic has allowed him to excel as a mercenary, rising to the top rank of the guildhall.

My life definitely wasn’t going according to plan, but that all changed the moment I died unexpectedly. Now I’ve been reborn into the fantasy metropolis of Dragonmont City, where I get a second chance to flourish. A twist of fate brings me into contact with Paulina, the proud but troubled owner of Goblin Girl Maid Service. Together with her slightly crazy best friend Kennedi, these two insanely beautiful goblin girls are trying to get their struggling business off the ground. But the competition, in the form of bearded dwarf ladies with a serious attitude problem, has never been stiffer.

My life took a turn I never expected on the day the world ended. Suddenly forced to fight in a bloody arena by a faceless System, I find the only way to survive is to win. I’m told that ten victories in the arena will give me my freedom, but if I’m going to get there, I’ll need a crack team of hardened allies to fight with me. What I got instead was a bratty college girl with a jealousy streak, a momma’s boy roommate who now inhabits the body of a piglet, and a devastatingly gorgeous teacher whose sword is as sharp as her tongue.

Being mistaken for an Ancient Predecessor usually results in heavenly benefits. Not for James Anderson. After being thrown into an isolated training realm, he is quick to figure out that there is no tutorial. No guidance. No ancient being to fully unlock his system. For eons he remains stuck by himself. Only system notifications and rewards appearing out of thin air keep him from going insane. But even that eventually stops working.

Eric Grayson was just a welder by day and fantasy junky by night. His free days were spent camping in the woods and reading. When he falls through a crack in the foundation of reality his life is going to get a lot more interesting. Making his way through the sea of chaos, he finds himself, with a little help from a Goddess, in a new universe, on a new planet. Eric must discover the answer to a question. How to change the mind of an empire?
