Choose your retailer
About the book
The gods chose him. He said no.
After his parents died, Alex Roth had one desire: become a wizard. Through hard work, he was accepted into the University of Generasi, the world’s greatest academy of wizardry...
Fate, however, had other plans.
On his eighteenth birthday, he is Marked by prophecy as one of his kingdom’s five Heroes, chosen to fight the Ravener, his land’s great enemy. But his brand is 'The Fool'. Worst of the marks.
Rather than die or serve other Heroes like past Fools, he takes a stand, rejects divine decree…and leaves. With his little sister, his childhood friend, and her cerberus, Alex flees for the university, hoping to research the mystery of the Ravener. He’ll make lifelong friends, learn magic from mad wizards, practice alchemy, fight mana vampires and try to pay tuition.
There’s one small problem. The Mark insists on preventing the Fool from learning and casting spells, while enhancing skills outside of divinity, combat, and spellcraft…
…that is, unless he learns to exploit the hell out of it.
Explore a coming of age magic academy fantasy with a weak-to-strong progression into power, a setting inspired by D&D, detailed world building and magical science, action, comedy, slice-of-life, and GameLit elements.

Choose your retailer
About the book
Reborn as a nobody, he must become a Hero again... then save everybody.
Living on Earth as a recent college graduate, Max can still perfectly recall his past life on the fantasy world of Albion before he was murdered. He'd been hailed as the "Hero of the World" after crawling his way up from poverty, eventually enjoying great fame and luxury.
But reborn on mana-starved Earth, he's just a guy.
However, when Earth is suddenly attacked, changing the natural laws of the world and threatening all life on the planet, Max will get a new opportunity to regain some of his lost power...and then some. He discovers an entire system of multi-dimensional colleges created for those gifted with a Path.
The universe is much larger than Max had even known ever during his first life. Max is not the Hero of Albion anymore, but the drive to excel is still part of his nature. And the more power he has, the easier it should be to save his world.

Faction Wars erupt on the ninth floor as nine armies battle for a central castle and death becomes permanent.
This Inevitable Ruin
Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Faction Wars erupt on the ninth floor as nine armies battle for a central castle and death becomes permanent. With the AI failing and NPCs gaining awareness, Carl and his allies finally strike back. Strategy, betrayal, and survival collide as only one of them can move on. Book seven of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series raises the stakes to all out war.
Choose your retailer
About the book
The time has come! Book seven in the bestselling Dungeon Crawler Carl series is here!
They call it Faction Wars.
The ninth floor.
Nine armies, each led by rich and powerful aliens from across the galaxy. Each team has one objective: to capture and hold the castle at the very center of the battlefield. Strategy, alliances, pitched battles, and, of course, betrayal... It all makes for great fun and even greater television.
After all, none of these powerful aliens really die when they’re playing war.
Except this time. This time, winner takes all. Those who fall, stay in the ground.
As the AI continues its rapid decline, Carl and company take advantage of the chaos. For the first time ever, the crawlers are fighting back. They are now one of the nine teams. And this season, there’s a tenth army on the playing field. The NPCs, who are normally used as nothing but cannon fodder, have become fully self-aware and formed a team of their own.
For Donut and Katia, the stakes are even higher. Only one of them will be allowed to leave this level.
If they all want to survive, they’re going to need a little help from a veteran or two.
This is it.
This is what they’ve been fighting toward.
This is war.
This inevitable ruin.

On the eighth floor of the dungeon, Carl and Donut face a shattered map of Earth’s final days, forgotten gods, and monsters drawn from human legend.
The Eye of the Bedlam Bride
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
On the eighth floor of the dungeon, Carl and Donut face a shattered map of Earth’s final days, forgotten gods, and monsters drawn from human legend. To survive, they must capture powerful beings turned into living weapons. But the deadliest of all is the Bedlam Bride, a monster whose gaze threatens sanity itself.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.
It is bedlam on the eighth floor.
As management reels from the unexpected conclusion of the seventh level, the surviving crawlers stumble onto the eighth and find themselves scattered. It’s a map based on Earth’s final days before the collapse, where ethereal, intangible ghosts of humanity go about their lives, oblivious of the impending doom. Living amongst these ghosts are monsters based in Earth lore. “Legendary” creatures tied to the geographical location they inhabit.
Each team of crawlers is given a task: find and capture six of these beasts. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. Cards that can be summoned into battle again and again. The stronger, the deadlier, the better.
At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it’s crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible.
But, like always, there is a catch. There’s always a catch.
As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn’t mean they have been tamed.
Her name is Shi Maria. She’s easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. But she is no ordinary beast. She’s intelligent. She was once married to a god, a god who is now missing. Her special attack is known to drive one insane. They call her the Bedlam Bride.

Jack Atlas expects retirement, not a divine deathtrap where gods force assassins into lethal trials.
Tower of Jack
Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
Jack Atlas expects retirement, not a divine deathtrap where gods force assassins into lethal trials. Trapped inside the Tower and hunted by a ruthless cult, Jack survives on arrogance, skill, and stubborn refusal to die quietly. Monsters, dungeon punishments, and impossible odds collide in this fast paced fantasy adventure centered on survival and defiance.
Choose your retailer
About the book
He's arrogant. A certified pain in the butt. Maybe just crazy enough to survive.
Jack Atlas, self-proclaimed 'World's Best Assassin', had a simple plan: retire in style and marry the girl of his dreams. Then he gets placed in The Tower—a divine deathtrap where gods pit their creations against each other for the ultimate prize: eternal paradise for you and your friends. The catch? If you lose, well, let's just say your chances of finding a decent bar in oblivion are slim.
Jack, who’s never met a hornet’s nest he didn’t want to kick, soon finds himself on the wrong side of The Black Centipede, a notorious assassin cult with a charming recruitment policy: join or they’ll murder everyone he loves.
Instead of sipping Mai Tai’s on some beach he can’t pronounce; it’s slurping down health potions because he got stabbed by a goblin with a particular fondness for stabbing him in the rear. Heroic quests? Conquer The Tower, appease his assassin overlords, reunite with his dream girl? Nope. Jack instead gets sent to 'dungeon timeout' for bad behavior. That's fine by him.
If anyone’s crazy enough to not just survive, but win against The Tower, it’s Jack.

Titan’s Descendant follows Nathan, the weakest disciple in his cultivation sect, cursed with a flaw that blocks his growth and threatens his only hope of returning home.
Titan’s Descendant
Fantasy · Teen + Young Adult · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Titan’s Descendant follows Nathan, the weakest disciple in his cultivation sect, cursed with a flaw that blocks his growth and threatens his only hope of returning home. When his System awakens, that flaw becomes his greatest weapon. By enduring what should break him, Nathan uncovers a new path to power where survival itself fuels advancement.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A fatal flaw is his only path to power.
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.
Just when all hope is lost, his long-dormant System awakens, granting him a bizarre and unique power: The Passive Paradigm.
His flaw is no longer a curse. It's the key to a new kind of advancement where endurance is strength, and survival itself is a source of explosive growth. By discovering loopholes and turning the rules of cultivation on their head, Nathan forges a new path. But this power comes at a cost, forcing him into a brutal tournament where he is the underdog and a deadly forest that wants him dead.
Experience an Epic Cultivation LitRPG where the grind pays double. Perfect for fans of Cradle and He Who Fights with Monsters, this adventure features a clever underdog, a unique skill system, brutal martial arts combat, and a progression from outcast to alpha.

Life in the North
Post-Apocalyptic · Dystopian · Fantasy · LGBTQIA+ · LitRPG
Our take
Life in the North follows John, whose quiet camping trip in the Yukon becomes a fight for survival when the System reshapes the world. With monsters roaming and reality rewritten by game-like powers, John must battle his way back to civilization.

About the book

When John sets out for a weekend camping trip in the Yukon, he never could have imagined the world would be plunged into chaos by the System–a mystical energy wave that destroys electronics and grants game-like powers to humanity. Suddenly, animals are evolving, monsters are spawning, and John finds himself equipped with a character sheet and incredible, physics-defying skills.
But surviving in this new reality won't be easy. John will have to get back to civilization through hordes of slavering monsters. And that's just the beginning - because with the arrival of the System, John will need to help rebuild society from the ruins up… and stop humanity from destroying itself along the way.

Nightmare Realm Summoner
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Nightmare Realm Summoner follows Alex, who welcomes the System apocalypse and prepares for magic and danger, only to be shoved into hell on day one. Stranded in a realm where everything outclasses him, Alex embraces the chaos. With a Summoner class that steals monster powers, he turns impossible odds into opportunity.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An action-packed new LitRPG apocalypse perfect for fans of The Primal Hunter, Hell Difficulty Tutorial, and 1% Lifesteal.
The System warned them. The world panicked. Alex prepared.
In college for a degree he didn’t care about, the promise of the System creating a world where magic and challenge awaited—even at the risk of death—was the best news Alex possibly could have imagined.
Yeah, Alex was ready for a new life. He wasn’t, however, ready for his only friend to shove him through a portal into hell the moment the apocalypse started.
Instead of getting to hunt rabbits and farm wolves to start out, Alex finds himself stranded in a warped world where everything, including the bugs, is stronger than he is. Even with a Summoner Class that gains the powers of its monsters, most people would have died.
Alex didn’t get the memo. He loves the challenge. Where others might have seen certain death, he finds something else:
Opportunity.
