Isaac Thoma fought to the very end of humanity's war against a demonic apocalypse — and lost everything.

His plan: warn them, organize them, and this time make sure humanity survives.

Disgardium

Rare

Complete

In 2074, a poor teenager logs into Disgardium, the world's mandatory full-immersion VRMMO, to earn money for university. A cursed encounter tags his character as a Class-A Threat, an outlaw designation that turns every clan on the server into a bounty hunter. Staying hidden while leveling is the whole game.

Slow start, then steady

Ongoing

Joe joins humanity's mass migration into Eternium, a full-immersion fantasy world running on hard RPG rules, and rolls the ultra-rare Ritualist class. He commits to a completionist run: finishing every quest, mastering every skill, claiming every bonus. Doing the tedious thing every time compounds into a build the game was never designed to handle.

Complete

When humanity's last hope is killed before reaching a time portal, Nick Gallows -- a weak assistant nobody expected anything from -- is shoved through instead.

When the System forces two worlds to merge, Drake — a city-bred gamer and anime fan — wakes up with a mysterious status screen and no memory of how he got there.

Two hundred years after an apocalypse reshaped reality, Freddy Stern — an orphaned twenty-one-year-old cashier — barely survives a near-death encounter and walks away with a single talent: 1% Lifesteal. With every enemy he kills, he grows fractionally stronger and heals any wound. The question is not whether his body will break — it will not. The question is whether his mind will.

The Land

Rare

On hiatus

A present-day American is pulled into The Land, a world that runs on RPG rules. He claims an unowned stretch of territory, names himself Richter, and turns a handful of sprites into the fortified Mist Village, dungeon and all. Every choice compounds across a deep, stat-heavy skill system, narrated on audio by Nick Podehl.
