All Michael can do is watch as a System descends upon Earth, sending the first wave of living beings to a deadly Tutorial Zone where survival seems impossible. Facing an inhospitable landscape filled with monstrous enemies, Michael must adapt quickly if he hopes to make it through. All while trying to find and protect his Mom. Beyond that, he must grapple with one more important fact thrown at him. The key to surviving the new world is in his blood.

As the starship Dauntless returns from a successful mission to the planet called Heaven, Earth holds no attractions for Exoplanetary Scout Leif Grettison. He wants only to complete the mission and leave for another star, along with ace pilot Yang Yong. In fact, he would be happy spending the rest of his life flying the starways with her. But they and the rest of the ship’s skeleton crew awaken from hibernation to find Earth’s solar system dark and silent—no signals, no responses to their transmissions.

The quiet life of a man who escaped a dying world is always going to be hit or miss. One day, something good happens. The next, trouble drops in uninvited. Now, our alchemist is drawing too much attention. Unusual powers will do that. They let you bend the rules, shift the balance of power, open doors that others would rather keep closed. Whether he wants it or not, every new opportunity comes with a price. But Ed isn't easy to corner. He has survived what no one else could. If there's one thing he does well, it is adapting.

Once upon a time, a mageblade-in-training lost his best friend. His soul refused to let her go, and his unformed soulspell developed the ability to revert the timeline to the week before her death. It wasn't enough. No matter what he did, said, or tried, her death was set in stone. He was too poor, too weak, too powerless. Some things even perfection cannot accomplish. So he moved forward, over and over again. Saved the world a few times. Refined himself into a power few could match.

In his world, he was the last remaining alchemist, one of the few survivors living amidst the ruins of a once-great civilization. Refusing to give up on life, but seeing that nothing could save his home, he challenged himself to find a way out of such an inhospitable place. After years of dedicated research, he devised a ritual to transport himself to another world. But the outcome was far from anticipated. Instead of mere displacement, he underwent a rebirth. He ended up in a new body, in a new world, surrounded by new threats lurking around every corner.

This mission should be simple. Exoplanetary scout Leif Grettison and ace pilot Yang Yong are off to deliver a load of supplies and reinforcing settlers to a recently colonized planet. It’s as routine as a starflight can be. Famous last words.

Alone, isolated in the wilds of Alaska, Rachel Jordan’s only goal was to keep her two little sisters alive as the world they knew disappeared. Abandoned at her uncle’s lodge, Rachel struggles to come to grips with the new reality. Everyone she ever knew is dead or dying. Civilization has disappeared and there will be no rescue. She and her sisters must face this new world all alone.

A boy is always called to adventure, especially when it means saving both humanity and a special girl. Thirty-Eight years after a virus killed almost everyone on earth, Joshua Tanner is desperate to save what remains of civilization. Knowledge is disappearing and the usable remnants of the original’s world are getting harder and harder to find. Oh, and there is a girl on the other side of the continent in need of rescue.

Jace Seren, Tier 10 Ascendant, the only person who wields both Dark Matter and Void through The Cosmic System, delved into the Astral Verge. A journey outside of his Universe that took him through the realm wrought from the shared dreams and nightmares of all Universes.

Nineteen years since the world ended and the fight for survival was constant. People had gathered in Western Oregon from all over the country, each with their own story of survival. Each fighting to make the world better, and perhaps regain some of what has been lost. Brent Tanner, first of the children born after the end of the world, was on patrol in what used to be known as Southern Oregon when someone tried to kill him for no reason. A pretty female type someone.

When Haley Conrad was informed an asteroid is going to impact the earth, leading to the world's end. She knew her only chance of surviving was to escape New York before it became hell on earth. But making it all the way across the country wasn’t going to be easy.

So far, Edgar has proven successful in integrating into his new surroundings, learning, and enhancing his quality of life. Despite his best efforts to stay off the radar and keep his talents a secret, he still needs to survive in a world full of unexpected dangers. As an alchemist, he has a lot of groundbreaking discoveries to offer to the aristocratic society. But the daunting task is to find the right balance and preserve his integrity while pursuing his ambition. How can he be sure that people won't use his innovations for malevolent purposes?

Jace Seren has achieved what no others have before: become a Tier 10 Ascendant within The Cosmic System. As part of this achievement, he is now permanently infused with it and can never lose the phenomenal powers he has gained. Even better, he can no longer die to old age—though a violent end is still quite possible. Having placed a gate upon Oblivion—the singularity at the center of his universe—Jace must gear up and go into another layer of reality: the Astral Verge. A realm of chaos wrought from the emotions and thoughts of countless universes.

It really is the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Death, Famine, War, and Conquest. Things a seventeen-year-old boy shouldn’t have to deal with. In those most infamous words, mistakes were made. It wasn’t supposed to happen. The asteroid was supposed to miss. Running for their lives, Ryan Conrad and Kelsey Morgan, race to escape the impact of a super asteroid and the apocalyptic world it left behind. Fighting to survive the aftershocks. The earthquake to end all earthquakes, the largest tsunami in human history, and worst of all, the EMP and loss of civilization.

In this odd world full of wonders and dangers, one thing is for sure—an alchemist's life is never boring. Next to demons that are able to regrow limbs and space-bending Walkers, a new threat has emerged—the shapeshifters, whose appearance can mimic anyone. This unprecedented threat on a national scale provides the alchemist with a new mission. First, survive when they try to kill you, and then arm the empire with the means to fight against this menace.

Percy is a poor child with nothing to his name. He has no power, no family–only an old mentor in his wooden hut outside town. Even that is taken away from him when the old man dies. But everything changes when he gains access to mana and manifests what is known as an Ego. His Ego doesn’t grant him strength like others would. It's rare, allowing him to consume what he owns and to reforge the ordinary into the extraordinary.

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 ritual proved successful, granting Ed a miraculous escape from a dying world and an opportunity to start a new life. What he did not expect was that this vibrant new world would be filled with dangers waiting around every corner. Barely giving him any time to adjust, fate dealt its cruel hand once more. Ed lost his family and landed in the clutches of their enemies. But could this really discourage a talented alchemist, who has already accomplished the impossible once before?

After achieving Tier 3 as a Dark Matter Aspirant, Jace Seren and his allies—Priam Westerfold, Greg Bhastal, and Quinn Cipher—are on their way to Earth. Their mission is dangerous: take down all five megacorporations to clear the way for the Star Council to instill their control over the world and lift Earth’s civilization to its pinnacle of possibility. Corpo-mercs, cybered-up soldiers, lingering Aspirants, and Ascendants? That’s only the start of it. For the Nebula Alliance already has agents on Earth, and they do not take kindly to hostile takeovers.

Jace Seren has been assigned his next task for the Dark Between Stars: visiting a rogue planet that was flung out of its orbit millennia past. Many Complexes await completion—promising Stardust, Boons, and danger. Jace will come up against many threats; Black Hole Conclave cultists seeking to drive the world into oblivion, Astral Demons from a different layer of reality who seek his destruction, and mercenaries chasing the bounty placed upon his head by the leader of the Nebula Alliance.
