For thousands of years mankind has had the upper hand but now - suddenly, violently, bloodily - the balance of power has shifted.

Eli Grayson is back. Life has been good to him since saving the elven princess and uncovering his powers as a Royal Blood. That is, until an army of the dead rises and threatens the fragile peace they'd achieved. As if that wasn’t enough to deal with, the ruling magical council has learned of his existence and wants to haul him in for judgement. Together with bond mates both new and old, he quickly finds himself on a magical realm-hopping adventure to uncover the source of the undead and win over the council.

Being the most powerful superhero on the planet has been a dream come true, but now a nightmare descends on the city of North Metro. When a supervillain with the power to clone himself puts the city in a stranglehold of fear, even my strength won't be enough.

After thousands of years, Cain awakens to find that the world has gone on without him. In his slumber, humans and people of power have stopped being afraid of, well, anything. Beyond that, they’ve become cruel for cruelty’s sake, fascinated with their ability to spread death through famine, war, and even plagues. In their minds, they have no equal. They’re wrong.

Hard work, perseverance, and a limited social life prepared Daniel for the next stage of his life. After a move to Florida, he's forced to start over right when world experiences a phenomenon like no other. Portals connect Earth to an unknown planet where monsters roam. What's worse, when they come through to our side, their ferocity and mass increases. The world's militaries rush forward, gun down the mutated beasts, and secure Earth.

There I was, driving a busload of hot cheerleaders back to their college after the big football game when the damned ground opened up and swallowed us whole. I awoke in the wilderness on an alien planet, with a disembodied voice prattling on about a quest to save the cheerleaders. Hell yeah, I plan to save the cheerleaders! Goblins, orcs, and football zombies–yeah I said football zombies–inhabit the woods and are intent on our destruction.

Self-proclaimed conqueror Auroro and his contracted guide, Rynissie, have hit the road. They have had a simple errand (read: most important task) entrusted to them and are heading to the cave-elf city of Cerulean-in-the-Mountain.... Or at least that was the plan. Auroro has decided to be efficient. They're going to do some jobs along the way and make some money! Sounds simple enough, right? Unfortunately, things are not normal in the forests of Viridia.

If Max can't stop the advance of the Ore, then the entire kingdom is forfeit... With the expedition into the Hinterlands deemed a failure, Max and his family go back to the drawing board. To make matters worse, wizards from the Magician's Academy have set up shop in Fronstead, desperate to get some of the power that the people of Fronstead fought and died to secure. Despite the warnings of the magic elemental Auriana, the secretive Academy wizards push their magic further and further, creating monsters and abominations to protect the kingdom, all under the spell of head mage Roland.

It’s finally time to bring the fight to the Hinterlands itself and reveal the true nature of its dark corruption. After having barely saved Fronstead from the solstice’s onslaught, Max knows the only way that he can save his new home is by striking at the source of the corrupting Ore itself. Their hope lies in the dragon girl Melusine, the only person they know who’s come out of the wild, chaotic land alive.

If one superpowered alien beauty wasn’t enough, the arrival of a second throws Earth’s fate into a tailspin. She’s gorgeous, she’s powerful, and she’s the daughter of my ultimate enemy. Nemesis is coming, grudges will be settled, and all heroes must assemble. Before I can live the dream, I must confront the nightmare. This time, saving the world might mean saving the villain…

Cain seeks a way beyond the veil, but thanks to the continued existence of his father's children, that isn’t an option - currently. Worse yet, the strigoi's mass extermination put his enemies on notice. Armed with the knowledge that they too are mortal, his half-siblings have fled into the shadows, shattering ancient alliances. As they reel from the shockwaves of Namisia’s death, fear, mistrust, and infighting place Eve's tenuous hold over those who remain in jeopardy.

Hope comes in the form of a powerful traveling wizard named Max Ashford, who arrives just in time to defend the town from the corrupted monsters that threaten it. What begins as a mercenary job turns into a fight for a place worthy of more. Joining him is the mayor, Giselle, a wondrous half-elf who’s willing to do anything to save Fronstead. A massive battle awaits them and time is running out. Max will have to unite the entire town against the furious onslaught that awaits them, but will it be enough?

The girls and I have just settled into a routine inside the walls of Moondale, when The Quest Board demands that we save the former villagers from a horde of orcs who are keeping them as prisoners in a well-defended outpost. I have to keep my girls safe! And I need to save the villagers. That means that the ladies and I are going to need to Rank Up quickly! But greater evil than murderous orcs dwell in the Eros Woods.

One month—that’s how long it’s been since the System arrived bringing the apocalypse with it. Iain could list out the number of ways he’d survived one catastrophic event after the other, but it would just remind him how tired he is. Sadly, the old saying is true: there is no rest for the weary. That isn’t to say there haven’t been high points, because he’s had more than a few. One of the latest and greatest of which was dealing with Robin’s ex-husband.

A year has passed since I raised a city of solid stone from the ground using the an ancient and powerful artifact. The city has thrived under my rule, aided by my queens, with a strong economy and hopeful souls arriving daily, seeking refuge and a fresh start. But grudges die hard. King Arandal, ever the spiteful one, has finally come to exact his vengeance. His soldiers swarm around my city walls like a plague of locusts and outnumber the stars. Assassins crept through the streets at night, their daggers thirsting for my blood and that of my queens.

System Initiating.... Valhalla Protocol Activated.... Welcome, —Insert Name—, you have spawned into a level 70 city—soon to be dungeon. All safe zones are transitory. Due to the city’s failing infrastructure, a permanent safe zone cannot be established at this time.
