Series Compendium

Lindon is born Unsouled in Sacred Valley's Wei clan, unable to practice the sacred arts. A visit from the Abidan Judge Suriel shows him that a Dreadgod will one day destroy his home, so he teams up with Yerin, the disciple of a murdered sage, and fights his way out of the valley.

Lindon and Yerin cross the Desolate Wilds to a mysterious pyramid that is drawing sacred artists and dreadbeasts. Lindon learns soulsmithing, advances to Iron with a Bloodforged body, kills a Sandviper heir and is challenged to a duel by Jai Long before Eithan adopts both of them into the Aurelius family.

Adopted into the Aurelius family, Lindon bonds with the turtle Orthos in Serpent's Grave, learns the Path of the Blackflame and advances to Jade. Jai Daishou's coup against the Aurelius family fails when Eithan reveals his path, and the Skysworn arrest Lindon for using Blackflame.

Lindon loses his duel with Jai Long and his arm, but Eithan uses it to expose Jai Daishou's theft from the Dreadgods' labyrinth, which wakes the Bleeding Phoenix. Lindon and Yerin join the Skysworn to fight it and Eithan reveals his ambition and Ozriel's message.

The Skysworn send Lindon into Ghostwater, a world-sized facility built by the Monarch Northstrider. Inside, Lindon reaches Truegold, kills a dragon, meets the sentient construct Dross and escapes a fight with Akura Harmony as the world collapses.

The Akura clan opens Night Wheel Valley so the Blackflame Empire and Seishen Kingdom can compete to field Underlords in the Uncrowned King Tournament. Lindon and Yerin both advance to Underlord, Lindon kills Prince Kiro and Mercy returns to her family.

At the Uncrowned King Tournament in Ninecloud Court, Lindon, Yerin, Mercy and Eithan all reach the top sixteen. Lindon is pitted against Yerin in the top eight draw, and Yerin touches the Sword Icon to win, while the Abidan announce the tournament's prize, the weapon Penance.

The tournament's top eight train under Sages for a month. Yerin merges with her Blood Shadow and uses Penance on the dragon king; Lindon manifests the Void Icon on the Dreadgod battlefield and becomes the Sage of Twin Stars while still an Underlord.

The Abidan lose ground to the Vroshir while Lindon, Yerin and their friends return to Sacred Valley to evacuate it before the Wandering Titan arrives. They drive the Titan off at a heavy cost to Dross.

With Sacred Valley saved, Lindon delves into the ancient labyrinth for lost soulsmithing knowledge and a way to destroy the Dreadgods while the Monarchs plot and the Abidan fight the Mad King. The book's twist reframes earlier events and ends with Eithan leaving Cradle.

All four Dreadgods are unleashed, the Monarchs see Lindon as a threat and he has inherited a valuable facility. He fights for time while his friends train, and the book ends on a large clash between Lindon, the Monarchs and the Dreadgods.

The final book. Lindon takes the war to the Monarchs and the Weeping Dragon with his friends, while Suriel and Ozriel face the Mad King. Reviewers call the ending satisfying and bittersweet.

Zac Atwood is alone in a forest when the System integrates Earth. He lands on an island beside a Torrid Demon Incursion, picks the Hatchetman class, wins a three-way fight over the Fruits of Ascension, and ends the Incursion by making a deal with its leader Ogras. Together they found Port Atwood and then hold it through two monster Hordes. Zac ends the book a Lord in the making, around level 54, with three Dao Seeds and a growing town.

Zac leaves Port Atwood to find his family. In his home town of Greenworth he learns his father was killed and takes revenge. He wins the Lordship, fights a third Horde with three mini-Incursions, crosses the Dead Zone to rescue his sister Kenzie, and is stabbed by his ex-girlfriend Hannah. The wound activates a hidden Duplicity Core and he comes back as a level 1 Draugr, picking a second class.

Zac enters the Eastern Trigram Treasure Hunt, a 30-day contest on a merged planet pair at war. He fights Salvation, a prophet of the Great Redeemer, kills Emperor Nenothep Medhin, takes the Eastern Trigram inheritance and a Splinter of Oblivion, and finishes first overall. Back home he takes the Lord of Cycles inheritance, closes a run of Incursions, kills Salvation at the Cradle of God, and hits level 75 Hatchetman as the Underworld is discovered.

Zac goes underground. Disguised as 'Mr. Black', he takes over the Underworld, destroys its Incursions, and sets up a consortium with the Underworld Council. On the surface the Undead hordes nearly break the Port Atwood army, and the Lich King's assassins shatter Alea's soul. Zac fuses his first Dao Fragment, hits level 75 in both classes, and enters the Tower of Eternity with Ogras, where he kills a Tsarun heir and ends the book three floors up with a System bounty on his head.

Zac climbs the Tower of Eternity from the fourth floor to the eighth, defeats the Perenme family in a Dao Discourse, has his soul destroyed and rescued by a Prajna Cherry in a Battle of Fates, and attracts Iz Tayn's obsession. He turns Alea into a spirit tool, evolves to E-grade with Edge of Arcadia and Fetters of Desolation, then returns to Earth to kill the Lich King. The book ends as he prepares for the Technocrat Mystic Realm.

With Port Atwood saved, Zac closes the Church of Everlasting Dao Incursion and finishes the World Integration Trial with an S grade. He then helps the Zhix purge the Dominators, kills the Dominator Harbinger, and leads his forces into the Technocrat Mystic Realm. Inside the research base he gains new skills, is marked for System training as a Pathstrider, and ends the book facing the Collector while the Dimensional Seed ripens.

Zac fights through the Technocrat Mystic Realm to keep the Dimensional Seed away from the Dominators. He awakens the Void Emperor bloodline on Sin Mountain and kills the possessed Dominator Inevitability. The realm collapses, and Ogras and Billy vanish into the Seed. After a three-year time skip Zac is Earth's Planetary Lord and level 101 and has become Thea's partner, but Leandra's tribulation scheme costs him Thea. He ends the book at Twilight Harbor as an undead persona.

Zac enters the Twilight Ocean for the once-in-a-millennium Twilight Ascent, under Catheya's banner and posing as the Draugr Arcaz Black. He is betrayed, makes powerful enemies and allies, awakens his Void Emperor bloodline to E-grade in the Twilight Chasm, and turns his Axe, Coffin and Bodhi Fragments to Peak. He finishes the book as a level 120 monster who has caught the eye of the Twilight Lord.

The Twilight Ascent boils over. Uona steals a Splinter of Oblivion from Zac, the Eveningtide Asura ascends to B-grade and destroys Twilight Harbor, and Zac is dragged into the Void and swallowed by the Orom, a Voidcatcher leviathan. Trapped in its Orom World for years, he reincarnates his soul, is tutored by the Monarchs Heda and Pavina, wins a duel against Kaldor, and breaks out with the help of the System.

Zac returns to an Earth that has changed over his years away, with war brewing in the Zecia Sector. He ends the fighting on Ensolus and founds the System-sanctioned Atwood Empire as a Baron. He then goes after the materials for a custom cosmic vessel, takes a false identity (Gaun Sorom) into the Void Star, picks up the Flamebearers quest as the Ultom Courts emerge, and escapes a betrayal to reunite with Ogras.

Zac and Ogras are back at Peak E-grade with a war coming to Zecia. They rescue Billy's seized kingdom from the invaders, Iz Tayn forces her way into the group, and the Void Priestess explains why Ultom chose Zac. Back on Earth he trains his army, builds the first line of generic cosmic vessels, and hands Ultom seal quests to his inner circle. The book closes with him heading off-world toward the Perennial Vastness.

Zac, Ogras and Catheya enter the Perennial Vastness' Cosmic Gallery so Zac can reach D-grade. He earns Mana through duels, missions and red zone fights, gathers core-formation treasures, meets the Realm Spirit Sendor, and climbs to the 14th Echelon. A romance with Catheya takes shape. The book ends at the climax of his core formation.

Zac forms his D-grade core, which splits him into a Human body and a Draugr body, and walks into a Zecia already at war with the Kan'Tanu Cult. He works his armies, supply lines and Sealbearers through a long Intersector War, while the System uses treasures to stoke the fight and the Ultom Courts' arrival draws outside powers. The book ends on a cliffhanger.

Years of fighting have worn Zecia down, and the System only allows peace through force. Zac and his elite armies are sent to the front just as a Limitless Empire war fortress rises from the dimensional depths. He forms a Middle D-grade Cosmic Core on the Void Road, completes more Sealbearer rounds, gets a final seal quest for the next book, and ends by absorbing saint statue souls and a custom training regimen.

Zecia is burning. The Atwood Empire is buckling under the Kan'Tanu advance while outside powers hoard seals for Ultom. Zac refuses to give up and goes after the hidden Centurion Base and its weapons, crossing enemy territory and spatial storms with shaky allies, including an Undead envoy. The book ends with the Kan'Tanu leader dead, the Eternal Guardians loosed on the cult, and Zac wounded.

Book 16 opens with Zac wounded and worn out after the Imperial Graveyard. The Kan'Tanu leader is dead and the Eternal Guardians are loose on the cult. The contest for the Ultom Courts begins, Zac repairs his foundations, enters the Left Imperial Expanse, and plays through Pre-Trial memory domains in a river of time, and the book pauses partway through the trial.

Earth is destroyed and Carl, a Coast Guard veteran, is dumped into an alien reality-show dungeon with his ex-girlfriend's cat, Princess Donut. Across Floors 1 and 2 he learns the rules from the guide Mordecai, becomes a viral celebrity, makes a powerful enemy in Maestro, and ends on the edge of Floor 3 with Donut's new pet egg hatching into a velociraptor.

Floor 3 is the Over City, a ruined urban simulation inside a volcano haunted by an undead circus. Carl becomes a Compensated Anarchist, Donut a Former Child Actor, and the shapeshifter Katia joins them. Carl builds his titular Doomsday Scenario, a soul-crystal bomb, and uses it to save the city and lead the survivors to Floor 4.

Floor 4 is the Iron Tangle, a knotted subway system of trains from many worlds. Carl and Donut, now top-ten crawlers with bounties, must cooperate with other crawler groups. Carl inherits the Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook, Katia kills Hekla, and Carl rescues over a thousand stranded crawlers.

Floor 5 splits the crawlers into 1,172 isolated bubble worlds. Carl's party must claim a castle in each of four quadrants to open the stairwell, assembles the Gate of the Feral Gods, frees the trapped demigoddess Samantha, becomes an acolyte of the fire god Emberus, and uses the Gate to flood part of the hunters' Floor 9 city before descending.

Floors 6 and 7. The Hunting Grounds jungle opens to about 1,000 wealthy alien hunters. Carl bombs the hunters' capital, trades the Gate for protection, and survives the Butcher's Masquerade trap. Prepotente then destroys Floor 7 before it forms, and the survivors skip to Floor 8.

Floor 8 is a replica of Earth on the eve of the collapse, populated by intangible memory ghosts. Crawlers capture legendary monsters as T'Ghee cards to get keys. Carl confronts his repressed past, a demon is accidentally set loose, Shi Maria permanently binds herself to him as a tattoo, and an audience vote strips sponsors of legal immunity.

Floor 9 is the Faction Wars: nine armies led by rich alien warlords fight over the flooded city of Larracos. Carl and Donut assemble the NPCs and surviving crawlers into a ninth faction, the Princess Posse, and win. Katia is made pregnant by a divine flower and leaves the dungeon, and Carl and Donut escape as Emberus unleashes his fire.

Jason Asano wakes in a hedge maze in Pallimustus, falls in with the adventurers Rufus, Farrah and Gary, and builds a life in Greenstone. The book ends with a disastrous astral-space expedition that kills Farrah.

Jason shields Sophie from indenture, builds his team, and wins Emir Bahadir's Reaper Trials contest by taking the real Reaper's Scythe. Meanwhile the Builder cult regroups and Thadwick Mercer takes a new star seed.

After an Adventure Society audit demotes Jason, he earns a road contract, is badly scarred, then kidnapped and tortured by a Church of Purity conspiracy. He escapes, enters the Reaper Trials astral space with his team, reaches bronze rank, and dies taking the Builder with him.

Jason is resurrected on Earth, reconnects with a family that thought him dead, allies with the secretive Network, and rescues Farrah from a rogue Network branch in France, before leaving to travel the world.

Jason travels Earth while the EOA sabotages the Network's Grid, then fights through monster waves at Broken Hill and Makassar, claims the Tiwari clan's door to the fundamental realm, and loses friends to the revived Jack Gerling. The book ends as a transformation zone forms over a proto-astral space in Slovakia.

Jason enters the Nitra transformation zone alone, forms his first Spirit Domain, survives a killing by the Builder's Shako, and later clears a second zone in Saint-Étienne with Mr North and a captured nuclear bomb. He leaves Earth with Farrah as the book ends.

Jason and Farrah return to Pallimustus during the monster surge and land in the Storm Kingdom, where Jason is dragged back into royal politics. The Builder's flying cities attack, the One Day War is fought, and Jason finally lets his friends into his spirit vault.

Team Biscuit uncovers the Order of Redeeming Light's brainwashing network, rescues Gibson Amouze, and nearly destroys Jason with reality-core power. Jason then trades the Authority token to the Builder for the withdrawal of his forces, and Dawn leaves to seek transcendence.

Jason adopts a 'John Miller' alias, leaves the Storm Kingdom after de Varco duels, and travels south with a growing convoy to the elven city of Yaresh. There he exposes the messengers' soul brands and survives the messengers' attack on the city.

Jason defies Yaresh's adventurers and diamond rankers, then leads an underground expedition into a corrupted natural array. The book ends as a transformation zone swallows the array, the expedition and the Undeath forces.

Inside the transformation zone, Jason claims territories, creates the first Lehenik (Nik), sanctions the god Undeath's avatar, and says goodbye to Gary. He then spends years inside his own soul fighting the Great Astral Beings while secretly repairing the Cosmic Throne, and ends by sitting on it.

Twenty years after being pulled into Pallimustus, Jason takes a 'gap year' of simple adventuring while his new System reshapes the world. Our sources give the setup and cast, but not the final chapters.

Released on Kindle on October 6, 2026. The only description we have is a one-paragraph Wikipedia summary: Jason returns to Earth with Team Biscuit and finds Earth changing faster than ever.

Reidon Ward, an orphaned ward of the state with a rare bone disease, earns a Combat Assistance Device (CAD) with the worst possible stats, save for a maxed-out Growth stat. He enters the Galens Institute at the bottom of his class, fights hostile cadets and officers, trains until he can keep up, and ends the book in the school's Intra-School tournament.

Fire and Song follows Rei, Aria, Viv, Catcher and their squad through the Sectionals tournament, where they face top Users from across the Astra System. Rei and Aria suspect his CAD, Shido, is stronger than it seems, powerful figures begin to act on the 'Iron Prince of Galens', and the tournament is attacked from outside before the book ends.

Jake Thayne is an ordinary office worker until the System integrates Earth and drops him into a survival Tutorial in a monster-filled forest. Where his coworkers falter, he thrives: he hunts alone, picks up alchemy, forms a bond with the Malefic Viper, evolves his class and profession, and works his way through the Tutorial's beast hierarchy. The book ends on his first Tutorial quest.

Jake chases the three remaining Beast Lords, levels through dungeons, and finally faces the King of the Forest, a level 136 D-grade. He loses consciousness mid-fight, his Bloodline takes over and kills the King, and the feat earns him legendary Tutorial rewards. Meanwhile the surviving humans are nearly wiped out by the Metal Mage William. The book ends with Jake back on Earth and dodging the duties of owning a city's Pylon.

Jake is home on Earth with wings and a whole planet of monsters to hunt. He finds his true Path as a hunter, makes bird friends, and tries to ignore the responsibilities of having founded the planet's first city. By the next book's opening blurb, he is D-grade.

Jake is D-grade and looking for stronger prey. The first World Congress brings Earth's leaders, friends and enemies together, while Jake tries to avoid the politics and catches up with old friends. The Congress points to future System opportunities, and the death of a hated mushroom reveals a dungeon where he can keep levelling.

The first major System event, a Treasure Hunt, sends Earth's main factions to Yalsten, a cursed land that once belonged to ancient vampires. Jake and other humans compete and cooperate against ancient defenses and vampires woken from dormancy. During the event Jake kills the Monarch of Blood.

After the Treasure Hunt, Jake visits his family, attends the Auction and takes on Earth's challenges, including a termite hive, to craft a new weapon from the curse of the vampire land. Then it is back-to-school season: he joins the Order of the Malefic Viper.

Jake arrives at the Order of the Malefic Viper and tries to learn alchemy while hiding that he is the Chosen of the Big Boss. He sells ancient vampire memorabilia, hunts the final Primas for the Seat of the Exalted Prima event, and takes a road trip on Earth with Carmen and Sylphie.

An enemy Chosen invades Earth with help from dissatisfied natives, and Jake is pulled back from his alchemy training. As war breaks out across the planet, he explores new regions, makes allies, learns the Malefic Viper's secrets through visions, and levels up on his way to confront the enemy Chosen.

With Earth's invasion handled and an enemy Chosen targeting him, Jake makes his final push for C-grade, refines one last skill, crosses off a bucket list of vanities and evolves. The evolution sends tremors through the multiverse, and the book points to a proper Chosen Ceremony.

Newly C-grade, Jake and four comrades enter Nevermore, the multiverse's best-known mega-dungeon, where freshly evolved C-grades compete on Leaderboards in front of the whole multiverse. They push down through water levels, powerful monsters, Challenge Dungeons and a labyrinth with an invested creator.

Years into Nevermore, Jake and his party turn to the five Challenge Dungeons, which decide who tops the C-grade Leaderboards. Jake wins the Colosseum of Mortals' Grand Champion gauntlet (including a fight with an image of the goddess Artemis), clears the Test of Character, Minaga's labyrinth and the House of the Architect, and keeps his eye on his rival Ell'Hakan.

Jake runs his final Challenge Dungeon as a courier, rejoins his party and pushes through floors 71 to 80. The Nevermore Leaderboards close with Jake first in the 93rd universe, the 93rd era and all time, and Ell'Hakan second. After a stretch of parties and politicking with gods, Jake heads home to Earth, reunites with Sandy and visits his parents.

Back on Earth, Jake takes a trip to the Moon with Sandy, then prepares for the Prima Guardian system event that starts the fight for the Milky Way. Every inhabited planet is pulled in, Ell'Hakan assembles the largest coalition, and the Holy Church and minor factions muddy things. Jake clears the Prima Guardian, gains the Seat of the Exalted Prima items and a dukedom, and is dragged into the Malefic Viper's plans against Yip of Yore.

The war between the Malefic Viper and Yip of Yore reaches its climax. The Viper kills Yip of Yore, and Jake takes on Ell'Hakan, attacks his home planet Nahoom with a Divine Bargain, and kills him in a duel that pushes both to the edge. Jake is left with new Mythical skills, the Chief Administrator's Seal and a bow quest completed on the last page.

With Yip of Yore and Ell'Hakan dealt with, Jake mops up the Milky Way's last threats, then leaves the galaxy as the Order of the Malefic Viper's envoy to the Pantheon of Life. The diplomatic mission is mostly archery lessons, hunting-ground fights against Simivita and other monsters, and time with a goddess. The book ends on a Mythical class skill, Event Horizon.

Jake finishes his diplomatic mission to the Pantheon of Life, makes it official with the goddess Artemis, brings home a new friend and gets a new bow. A Nevermore reunion party, a Level 320 profession skill pick and an assassination attempt fill the middle. The trip home through the void goes wrong, and the book closes with Jake back at the Order and training with the Malefic Viper.

Erin Solstice, a young woman from our world, is transported to a dangerous fantasy world where people level up and gain classes, and ends up running a small inn with a sign that reads 'No killing Goblins.'

Winter arrives with mischievous faeries. Erin works to expand her inn while Ryoka Griffin runs a dangerous delivery in southern Izril, and more people from Earth begin to appear.

Erin is in the human city of Celum without her inn while Lyonette squats in it, Goblins are on the move against the Goblin Lord, and a blind young man named Laken Godart tries to survive the winter.

Rags heads north seeking allies against the Goblin Lord, Erin tries to go home and bring Christmas to the inn, and Ryoka becomes the guest of Magnolia Reinhart in Invrisil. Includes the story of Wistram Days.

Kings awake and emperors build; Lyonette learns to be an employee when Erin returns to run the inn; Geneva Scala fights in increasingly brutal wars as the Last Light of Baleros.

Erin befriends Goblins, including Redfang survivors, while the Goblin Lord marches north toward Liscor; Tom the Clown faces Demons in Rhir and Zel Shivertail faces Wall Lord Ilvriss. Bonus: Krsysl Wordsmith's account of the 2nd Antinium War.

Spring rains flood Liscor's geography; monsters, dungeon delving and Goblins come with them, and Erin travels as far as Pallass, the City of Invention, as the magic door draws the attention of world powers.

Something hungry is buried under Liscor, the dungeon remains a threat, and the Unseen Emperor of Riverfarm must decide how to treat non-hostile Goblins.

The rains have halted. The Goblin Lord's army reaches Liscor, pursued by Tyrion Veltras, with the Wandering Inn in its path.

After the war, a ruler has fallen and Ryoka Griffin has reappeared in the north. Geneva and friends fall under the shadow of the Titan of Baleros while Erin grieves for the dead.

The Horns of Hammerad level up as Liscor heals; Niers Astoragon's students compete in games to become his best new generation of commanders, and the stakes are never low.

Ryoka visits Riverfarm and Emperor Laken Godart; a coven of Witches seeks a grand bargain with the [Emperor], and a legend has come crawling from Terandria.

Tiqr awakes under the Empress of Beasts, the Liscor dungeon moves, and Liscor elects new leaders as the ground shakes.

The Horns of Hammerad are hunted by a Wistram [Mage] team while guarding a road past the Bloodfields; Terandrian [Knights] hunt a slayer of Goblins and the Players of Celum come to Invrisil.

Pallass, the City of Inventions, and its oddballs; Erin returns to her inn with more Skills but changed, and there are flames and a garden.

The Garden of Sanctuary, the sea and Earth inventions like chocolate and weights at the inn, alongside war, [Assassins] and scams; a champion steps forward against the King of Destruction.

The King of Duels' battle with the King of Destruction echoes across Chandrar, Niers' students go to sea, the Horns reach Invrisil, and a Lady begins her final journey while the magic door draws attention back to the inn.

The Archmage of Izril, unseen for eight years, is neither asleep nor awake. Ryoka and her friend Fierre run a Courier task, while Klbkch and Anand visit other Antinium Hives.

The King of Destruction's war with Jecrass reaches a turning point, Ryoka and Fierre approach the realm of Couriers, and the Yellow Rivers disease evolves and sweeps across Baleros.
