Our take
Whispers of the Ghost Alchemist follows Percy, born powerless in a world obsessed with bloodlines, until his ability to send clones across worlds awakens. Each journey brings forbidden knowledge and dangerous rewards, but advancement demands mastery of alchemy and survival against gods and ruling houses determined to erase him before he rises.
Choose your retailer
About the book
A new LitRPG adventure perfect for fans of He Who Fights with Monsters, Unbound, and The Path of Ascension.
An accidental clone. Talent no one saw coming. Infinite worlds to explore.
Percy was born with little hope of standing out—just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class. Starting with the lowest Red core and mocked as a waste, Percy was always overlooked by his peers and scorned by the powerful. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations.
Exploring strange realms teeming with danger, Percy returns with priceless treasures: divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. But the road to the apex is riddled with peril. The elixirs he needs to advance? He’ll have to master alchemy to brew them himself. The Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods?
They’ll do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

Rise of a Monster follows Sean, who dies, wakes up as a skeleton infused with Death, and is promptly abandoned in another world.
Rise of a Monster
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Rise of a Monster follows Sean, who dies, wakes up as a skeleton infused with Death, and is promptly abandoned in another world. Teamed with Gel, a chaos-born acid slime that turns enemies into mana, survival depends on killing fast enough to stay alive. As hunger, monsters, and evolution collide, their partnership becomes something far more terrifying than either alone.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Sean wasn't expecting to die today.
He definitely wasn't expecting to be dragged off to another world or raised as a skeleton infused with Death itself. Yet here he is, tossed down a Necromancer’s trash chute, and left to fend for himself against otherworldly monsters. Only as an abandoned minion, Sean no longer has a summoner paying the hourly mana costs he needs to sustain his new form. Which is bad since if he can’t pay those himself, he’s going to die… again.
Thankfully, his first and only friend in this new world can get Sean the mana he needs. Gel’s even eager to help! The only catch being that Gel is actually a carnivorous acid slime formed out of pure Chaos magic whose ‘help’ is to turn everything he eats into free, delicious mana. Once Sean can kill it for him, that is.
Our intrepid heroes are up against everything from oversized antlions, murderous undead, and some supremely terrifying badgers as they battle constantly against their own endless, gnawing hunger just to survive.
By fusing together into a symbiotic nightmare, wielding the twin powers of Death and Chaos, and unlocking the evolution possibilities of a slime and skeleton tandem, Sean and Gel will drive terror through the hearts of all who look upon them. But hey! You know what they say:
When a whole new world of magic, stats, and LitRPG-goodness is served up against you, you might as well eat it.

Our take
Dark Matter Ascension follows Jace, who refuses to surrender after loss, injury, and the collapse of Earth under a Cosmic System.

One week. If you survive, you choose a Cosmic Power ... If you survive.
Jace isn’t one to give up. Not when his sister dies. Not when he loses his legs. And definitely not when The Cosmic System takes over Earth.
With nothing more than his street smarts, the clothes on his back, and a river otter companion, he must survive a planet full of vicious predators that see him as an easy meal.
If he can survive? He gets to choose a Cosmic Power and a Class. A path to ascension. A way to bring his sister back.

The Overpowered Novice
Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
The Overpowered Novice follows Ryo, who wakes in a brutal, level-based world after a fatal accident. Given a Unique Skill far beyond what a beginner should have, he can defeat impossible enemies and grow at terrifying speed. As bandits, dungeons, and power-hungry elites close in, Ryo’s rise turns survival into domination.
Choose your retailer
About the book
Ryo never asked to wake up in a world ruled by levels, skills, and mercenary banners. But that's exactly what happens after he gets into a car accident.
Thrown into the Ashen Lands with nothing but scraps for weapons, survival should have been impossible. But the System gave him something it shouldn’t have: a Unique Skill — Overkill. A power so overwhelming it belongs only to those who’ve reached level 100 and beyond. A power that lets him kill monsters beyond his level and grow faster than anyone else in the world. A power that multiplies his damage, while turning excess damage into experience.
It helps him do more than survive. It helps him thrive.
And in this world of opportunities, where dungeons are hungry, bandit lords are rising, and powerful individuals are hunting him down for the power he possesses, Ryo will rise to the top faster than anyone has ever done before.

Sylver Seeker follows Sylver Sezari, an Arch Necromancer who expected death, not reincarnation.
Sylver Seeker
Fantasy · Dark Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
Sylver Seeker follows Sylver Sezari, an Arch Necromancer who expected death, not reincarnation. Reborn into a new world with an unfamiliar System, Sylver sets out to reclaim power on his own terms. As old instincts meet new rules, his second life becomes a darkly driven journey of growth, magic, and ruthless adaptation.
Choose your retailer
About the book
New World. New System. Same old Necromancer.
After fulfilling the duty all Arch Necromancers are tasked with, the last thing Sylver Sezari expected was to be reborn. He was usually the one reanimating dead things, after all. How ironic.
But reborn he was.
And after crawling his way back into the land of the living, he finds himself in a strange land, a strange time, and with a strange floating screen in front of his new face.
Either through plan or chance, he’s alive again, and planning to enjoy himself to his heart's content.
Don't miss the start of this LitRPG adventure about a reincarnated Necromancer growing in power and finding his way in a new world where the rules have changed vastly since he last "lived."

The Daily Grind follows overnight IT worker James Lyle when his office hides an impossible alternate dimension of endless cubicles.
The Daily Grind
Fantasy · LitRPG
Our take
The Daily Grind follows overnight IT worker James Lyle when his office hides an impossible alternate dimension of endless cubicles. As he and his coworkers explore a world where time bends and skills level up in strange ways, curiosity turns dangerous. What begins as an escape from boredom becomes a fight for survival that may not stay contained to the office.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An IT worker explores an alternate dimension in his office in the first book of a fun and fast-paced series blending cubical life and dungeon fantasy.
Working as overnight tech support, James Lyle has long said he’d do anything to escape the boredom. But his commitment to excitement is tested when a slight coincidence one shift sends him to a different part of his office building . . . and he discovers a stairwell that contains not stairs but rather a landscape of seemingly infinite cubicles against a distant horizon.
Unwilling (and unable) to stay away, James and a few of his trusted friends begin to explore this endless maze of supernatural business ennui, a few minutes in the real world turning into eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and even stranger interior design choices. But in a realm that allows them to level up in fax machine repair and provides them with enough cash to pay the rent, there are also adversaries that are quickly becoming dangerous—and potentially lethal.
As James, along with his companions, delves ever deeper into this extraordinary place, James starts to realize that animate staplers and time dilation might not be the biggest challenges they face, and those challenges might not stop at the entrance . . .
The Daily Grind is the epic beginning to a slice-of-life urban fantasy that effortlessly blends wry commentary on office life with intricate character- and world-building.

The Bystander drops horror fan Riley Lawrence into a town where movie tropes dictate who lives and dies.
The Bystander
Fantasy · Horror · Dark Fantasy · Fantasy Adventure · LitRPG
Our take
The Bystander drops horror fan Riley Lawrence into a town where movie tropes dictate who lives and dies. Trapped in a deadly game with assigned archetypes, Riley learns survival depends on pretending not to notice the monsters hunting them. As rules bend and danger escalates, he and his friends must exploit horror logic to stay alive.
Choose your retailer
About the book
In a town where horror movie tropes come to life, one’s only chance to survive is to play their role, in the first book of a spine-tingling gamelit series.
When horror-obsessed Riley Lawrence and his group of college friends arrive in the small town of Carousel for their Centennial Celebration, the few decrepit cars parked in the street don’t scare them. But when they enter a locked building, an animatronic usher hands them each a ticket, and the lights dim, Riley realizes they’ve entered the inescapable patchwork of a horror movie set. And they’ve each been assigned an archetype—Scholar, Athlete, Eye Candy, Final Girl—to play out as the curtains rise.
Assigned the Film Buff archetype, Riley’s doomed to repeat a pattern: knowing exactly who the killer is but never surviving the attacks himself. After all, film buffs may know what’s coming, but they’re always the first to be hunted down. Until, that is, Riley learns he can avoid a death or two by exploiting the Oblivious Bystander trope. It seems monsters and killers won’t harm him as long as he can convincingly pretend he hasn’t noticed them.
To make it through this deadly game, Riley and his friends will need to leverage their tropes effectively to determine what’s trapping them there in the first place. But as the rounds continue and escape seems farther and farther out of reach, they’ll be forced to ask themselves: Would they survive in a horror movie?

Spell Weaver
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
Spell Weaver follows Alex, an ordinary man thrust into a System-driven world of magic and monsters. Starting with weak stats, he gains a rare trait that reshapes how he grows in power. As Alex develops a new magic system through Mana Threads and Spell Circles, he learns that mastery, not strength alone, determines who survives in a world ruled by force.
Choose your retailer
About the book
An action-packed LitRPG Adventure featuring a detailed magic system and numbers going way up!
Magic isn’t just a tool. It’s a path to power that few can fully grasp.
Alex was just trying to escape his dead-end job and overbearing family. Then the System arrived, bringing with it magic, Rifts, and the chance for ordinary people to become extraordinary.
Unfortunately for Alex, his stats start out as unimpressive as his old life. But when he gains the unique trait [Primordial Will], which only allows him to put his free points into one stat, everything changes.
As he begins to study the art of Mana Threads and creates a revolutionary new magic system with Spell Circles, it becomes clear that mastery of magic is the route to power.
But with the world’s governments struggling to contain the rising number of superhuman threats, Alex will have to navigate more than just monsters, magic, and Rifts. In a world where “might makes right,” who really calls the shots?
Join Alex on his path to power in this action-packed new LitRPG adventure. Featuring high-octane action where the numbers go way up, slow-burn power progression, three-dimensional characters, a detailed magic system, runes, party-building, and so much more!

AN IMMORTAL WARRIOR. A HIDDEN WAR. A CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS.

Our take
Ozzy signs on as an NPC serf in a fantasy world built for the rich, expecting boredom in exchange for a paycheck.

He's given boring choices like working as a blacksmith, barkeep, or shepherd for all those years.
...Or, He can find ways to take advantage of the System. He can break out and carve out a section of the world for himself as an adventurer. Compete to be the first to locate hidden dungeons, kill the biggest monsters, and gain renown across Gadobhra.
Yeah, that sounds like way more fun.

Academy of Outcasts
Fantasy · LitRPG · Sword and Sorcery
Our take
A determined underdog escapes a brutal life in the fire realm and risks everything to chase a future he was never meant to have. In Academy of Outcasts, Oz Carnavon becomes a fugitive in a magical city where he must outwit powerful enemies and earn a place among academies that despise his kind. It fits fantasy readers who want academy intrigue, portal-world adventure, and a scrappy hero fighting impossible odds.
Choose your retailer
About the book
All Oz Carnavon ever wanted was to become a master mage.
Except, to do so requires the natural gifts or wealth necessary to secure an appointment to one of the prestigious magical academies in the Core City at the center of the seven realms. Oz had neither.
He was born without magical talent, serving in the elemental plane of fire, a nightmarish hellscape of treacherous lava and vicious monsters, where life is cheap, and escape is rare. But Carnavons never give up.
When Oz fakes his death to get out of his family’s contract and crosses the Nexus gate to sneak into the Core, everything seems to be going according to plan… Until he gets blamed for an assassination attempt on the fire realm’s ambassador.
Now, Oz must become a fugitive in a vast magical city, while trying to earn a place among the magical academies which have nothing but disdain for his kind.
And the clock is ticking, because in one week, the most dangerous wizard in the realm of fire is coming to track him down and drag him back to hell.
Experience this epic new saga from LARRY CORREIA, award-winning author of Monster Hunter International and Saga of the Forgotten Warrior. This progression fantasy epic features a D&D-inspired setting split by portals into elemental realms, slow-growth power progression, magic academies, and unforgettable characters!
