Synopsis

For the last four years, humanity has been facing its greatest challenge yet — a trial known as the Crucible. This harrowing ordeal has tested the mettle and determination of individuals, weeding out the weak and transforming the survivors into warriors. They have been forced to conquer dungeons and battle horrific creatures with magical powers so they themselves could gain abilities of their own. However, the Crucible was merely the beginning. As the trial concludes, the survivors find themselves on the precipice of an entirely new realm — the Endless Planes. Here, magic thrives, and ancient forces shape the destiny of worlds. The Endless Planes, a vast and diverse realm, is home to countless kingdoms, mythical creatures, and formidable challenges. Among the survivors is Kaito Bao, who has been marked by the scars of the Crucible. Once a loving father and husband, he has lost everything dear to him. And now, all that drives him is his unending desire to hunt down more monsters and punish them for ripping his family away from him. In his obsession, he has acquired powerful abilities, accomplished incredible Feats and gained rare Titles. Join Kaito as he explores Serpent’s Way, the bottommost world of the Endless Planes, where all people must begin their climb to the top. Fair This book contains tables, violence, profanity, gore, mature themes, and unorthodox morality.

New Life As A Max Level Archmage

★ 4.9

ArcaneCadence

Vivienne has poured so many hours into the massively popular VRMMO The Seven Cataclysms that she has more of a life inside the game than out. It's a fitting irony, then, when one day she wakes in the body of her maxed-out demon-mage 'Vivisari'—and finds that now, the game really is her life.

But the world of Seven Cataclysms isn't what she remembers. A hundred years have passed since the game's concluding events, and Vivisari is a hero of myth thought long dead. As she meets old and new faces in this familiar-yet-not world—casting spells of mass destruction and slowly reforming the scattered-to-the-wind remnants of her Guild—she starts to wonder if she was sent here with a purpose.

Rumors of a sequel had been circulating just before her unbelievable reincarnation. Did she, perhaps, need to fear an impending Eighth Cataclysm?

If so, it's a good thing she has firepower in spades.
