Learn the new rules, or die trying. Eli 'Nacho' Naches is a fearsome assassin who has lost everything in a post-apocalyptic world full of monstrous creatures. He knows where he fits in this horror-show, and he's only been hanging around to see what's going to be thrown at him next. When he's finally put in chains and sent to the chopping block, he goes readily... only to be unexpectedly sent back in time to his younger body with his memories intact, and the chance to make a difference. But Nacho isn't interested in saving the world. He just needs to save the people that matter to him, and give them a chance to survive in a world where everything but the air itself is poison. Knowing that all their lives are on the line, Nacho the battle-scarred killer needs to get his college-age friends to listen to him, plan their builds, and secure a safe location to bunker down. Obviously, each of those goals is an Epic quest all on its own. Welcome to the Juxtaposition. May Your Future Be Delicious. read more

All Probabilities were wrong. Nacho had zero intentions to make friends. He certainly had no plans to be put in the unenviable position of being the leader of a guild. But if there's one thing that he excels at, it certainly isn't cooking. No, he's far better at rolling with the punches, and making sure the people around him survive. When literal monsters are everywhere, that's the kind of person you want in charge. But this world isn't what he's been expecting. Things are different. He is different. By succeeding so much, so fast, Humanity has unlocked the next stage of the Juxtaposition, years before they're ready for it. A Legendary weapon is up for grabs, and the first guild to grab it will solidify their stranglehold of Kansas City. All Nacho needs to do is find a path to something he's never heard of before, look for something that shouldn't exist, and keep his people alive. Time to hold on tight, and chase that dragon. read more

War crimes are the norm. Joe takes his first step into exile, and is promptly unable to breathe. This new Zone has a higher concentration of power, magnitudes denser. His first task is to survive, but mere survival is the least of his concerns. The Zone he has landed on has been in a state of constant war for thousands of years, a tug of war between the Elven and Dwarven societies. Not choosing a side is the same as declaring both to be your personal enemy. Though he is resistant, Joe reluctantly decides to go with the group he thinks will help him grow the most-and is instantly plunged into their bitter war. To gain the freedom he desires, Joe needs to turn to the less savory aspects of his class. Engulfed by darkness, Joe can only hope he'll be able to snuff out the light. read more

Between driving the Elves out of Dwarven sovereign territory, utterly destroying an army of thousands, and using resources he could have used for himself to bring back the fallen on his own side... his reputation begins to precede him once more. The human was so successful that many people even within the Dwarven faction have decided that they need to step forward to stop him. Realizing that he's been in the public eye too long, Joe decides that it's time to step out of fighting the war, and instead focus on completing new quest lines and consolidating power. After all, letting other people decide the course of war has always worked out for him in the past. read more

Artorian has been given the lovely opportunity to run a realm and sort out all of its inherent issues. Not only does he get to chase around people with world-shattering abilities and force them into hibernation, he gets to break up his days by living through the worst portions of his life all over again. Nothing like trauma to fuel personal growth! Nasty creatures Artorian thought were gone forever have begun appearing in the dark corners of the world, smiling at him with too many teeth. Between constant battles, Cal's newfound love for math and pylons, the early stages of a world-spanning game system, and grumpy supervisors who refuse their bedtime...the sunny administrator has his now-tiny hands full.

Two codgers duking it out. Artorian has decided to live, all in order to save his lost village children.

The best of both worlds. Recent college grad Sam King was hoping for a backpacking trip across Europe as a graduation present. Instead he's going to get a different kind of trip: a three-month stint in the ultimate immersive gaming experience. As a lifelong geek, gamer, and outsider, it's a better gift then he'd ever dreamed. But when he jumps feetfirst into the world of Eternium, run by CAL, the Certified Altruistic Lexicon, it's not exactly what he expected. All he wants is to quest, game, grind some levels, and get his hands on awesome loot. You know, have fun! But the Mage's College seems to have a very different definition of fun, one involving study, blisteringly strict regulations, aristocratic hierarchy, and tons of pay to play. Sam crosses the College and finds himself running for his life with a back-talking book that is far more than it seems and a class that no one has even heard of. If he can navigate the deadly College politics and the looming war with the barbaric Wolfmen, he might just find the fun and adventure he was looking for. read more

A single chance at life. The world watches the sky with trepidation. The insanity of Xenocide knew no bounds, and all will soon suffer the effects he had planned for a millennium. Though none know what is to come, they all know it isn't going to be easy to survive. The Master has a plan, one that can give the world at large a way to escape the onrushing desolation. It may be on the bleeding edge of morality and what he needs might prove too difficult to secure, but The Master asks for trust. Cal and Dale both have their role to play as the world hurtles toward destruction. One needs to bring the races of the world together while the other simply needs to survive. Surrounded by supposed allies, the duo will do all that they can to succeed-but with every new arrival comes rising tensions and faltering trust. The apocalypse is coming. Will honor or greed stand the test of time? read more

Watch out for that double cross. Nacho and the Chips Guild are expanding rapidly, both in membership as well as reclaiming land for their burgeoning city. The presence of a cook allows people to gather in large numbers without fear of starving to death, though the reluctant Guild Leader knows better than to let people get too comfortable. Careful management of people has never been his forte, but luckily he has surrounded himself with people that can get that job done as he focuses on learning to craft proper meals. As Nacho begins to find a sense of peace in his life, he is suddenly thrust into a new battle when the CruxTerrans launch a surprise attack. They seize several of Nacho's closest friends and use them to unlock a hidden portal which will determine the fate of Earth as well as CruxTerra. The Guild Leader and his adversaries are thrust into a daunting challenge that neither side is prepared for, testing their abilities... and especially their willpower. The endgame is in view, and Starvation is on the table. read more

Too bad it's all snarled in her hair. Rebecca Punzel grew up as an orphan in the slums, only daring to dream small by providing for her found family. In a kingdom where might makes right, and combat skills rule, her first class is practically a curse: golden locks of hair which require no care. Though she's in a hairy situation, she works tirelessly to build a modest life for the other orphans. At fourteen, every valuable in reach seems to get tangled into her curls. Practically overnight, she's blacklisted from working at any reputable business. Losing her internal battle of morality just so she can survive, Rebecca turns to the thieves guild and quickly makes a name for herself as Goldie Locks. But when a job goes wrong and a ruthless alchemist marks her as an endless source of magical material, she has only one option: run. When even that fails, she stakes everything on climbing the Brute Queen's battle tower. The grand prize of the trial of power is protection and status-marriage to the Crown Prince. Her attempt is practically a joke: without combat skills they'd never accept the royal and the orphan as a pair. Luckily, winning isn't the goal, escaping is. After all... There's no greater crime than possessing treasure without the strength to hold onto it. read more

Grant Leap is an orphaned, mortal farmhand in a world where cultivation methods and Weapons of Power are jealously guarded and only passed down among family. He's not content with his lot; as a Januarian, someone living in District January, he should be living the good life just like everyone else. Food, parties, food, entertainment, and food are the minimum requirement. As an orphan, specifically a reviled Leap, there's not even a chance of being treated as a human. When a celestial event pours time magic into his field, coalescing into a lost Weapon of Power, Grant leaps at the opportunity to advance beyond even the scope of standard cultivation. At the first touch of the weapon, the orphan gains everything he's ever wanted: a Sword and a Name. Also, a pesky mandatory quest with his life as the price of failure. It doesn't take him long to realize that the best thing for him to do is to sell it and live on borrowed Time. Yet, that would never happen. The blade offers him the first major choice he's ever had to make: surrender to his desires... or live like a King. read more

Lily Red, known as 'Little Red', has trained her entire life to become a system-acknowledged scout under her Grandmother's guidance. Hunting, tracking, and trap-making-she's a master of her craft. But her dreams of joining the elite Scout forces are repeatedly blocked by a leader of the Wyld with a grudge against Grandmother. When Lily uncovers an impending invasion by Wolf Warband, brutal raiders from the frozen north, a deadly challenge offered by their war leader sets her pulse racing. She's his partner in prophecy, so as far as he's concerned she's the only person in the way. Little Red races away to warn the Wyld, but the city's rulers mock her warnings as fairy tales, dismissing the threat entirely. Undeterred, she vows to protect the people of Canu Moch herself. But Lily isn't about to back down. She'll be the competent protector of the people of Canu Moch-whether they want her or not. With the three city-states planning to ignore the danger, she strikes out on her own, quickly finding herself on the razor's edge between duty and ambition as Little Red pits herself against the Big Bad Wolf. Stay on the path. Don't stray or roam. Lest the forest decides you shan't find your way home. read more

While the majority of his guild is ecstatic over the bonuses that he brings them, not everyone is pleased with his rising influence. In fact, someone has been spreading rumors that Joe is unbalanced, sacrificing comrades for personal power. As a result, Joe is forced to recruit a team of misfits and discovers that their unique abilities complement his own. With their assistance, Joe moves forward with his plans to specialize into a more powerful version of his Ritualist class. But when the dust settles, he will be forced to ask himself a simple question: was it his actions that lit the fires of war? read more

Dark deeds done during daylight. Joe has started to draw attention to himself and his abilities. While some of the attention is good and allows for personal growth, most of it is from various organizations that feel threatened by the sudden upswing of power that Joe's guild-The Wanderers-are attaining. As the threat to earth begins to reach its peak, all of humanity has a choice: flee to Eternium, or stay for an uncertain future. Some stay, some go, some don't make the choice quickly enough. In Ardania, the human Kingdom is seeing an unprecedented influx of people. Supply and demand is an issue no matter where you go, as a civilization of a few million can't prepare to accept an eighth of earth's inhabitants at once. Joe sets out to solve problems where he can, but he can't be there for everyone... especially when a group of smiling enforcers are working to bring him down. read more

With his new school and friends facing their most deadly challenges yet, Artorian finds an opportunity to keep them safe. The cost of it may be access to the new home he's built, but that was never intended to be for him. When he can ensure their safety, Artorian will begin pursuit of his grandchildren once more. If he finds them, will they want to be saved... or will they have found a taste for the darker powers they have accrued? It's time to make the hard choices. Death or graduation. read more

Joe and the Dwarves are doing more than surviving in the harsh climate of Jotunheim: they're thriving. The Ritualist's improvements to their defenses are paying dividends; and he's hailed as a genius for ending threats before they come into striking distance of the burgeoning City. Every day, the Town expands further, allowing for more facilities, a larger population, and drawing in ever-more monsters. So many beasts that the walls are no longer enough. Even worse, the upgrade to ascend to City-tier came without warning, and Joe is pushed to the limit to make sure that his friends, allies, and hard work survive the onrushing waves of teeth and flesh. As the citizens of Novusheim face off against a seemingly endless horde, a Legendary monster appears on the horizon-its eyes fixed on Novusheim as it begins to cast grand workings of ice and snow. The storm isn't just brewing. It's already here. read more

Joe the Ritualist has finally found a true community in Vanaheim at the Tower of Ritualists. To his delight, he's greeted by Masters of his craft, a Grandmaster on the brink of ascension, and a method to fix his most glaring flaws. Barely entering the tower before being sent away once more, Joe is given a quest by the soon-to-be Sage: leave Vanaheim for another world, learn to fight as a combat ritualist, improve his foundational skills, and return with a Mythic core no matter how long it takes. There's plenty for him to accomplish on Midgard. His guild, town, and Pathfinders Hall need an upgrade. Not to mention, there aren't many places in Eternium he can go to win a fight using only Novice rituals. Too bad for him, Joe's enemies haven't been idle in his absence. They've just been biding their time. The Ritualist's return triggers a retaliation years in the making, but they've made one major mistake... He's already RSVPed, and Joe's not going to miss his mom's big day-even if he needs to tap out and let the world burn. read more
