Synopsis

“The Tenth Muse” follows Ruwen, a Divine Apostasy, in his relentless pursuit of balance in a universe teetering on the brink of annihilation.

Just days after an astonishing ascent to Grandmaster Alchemist, Ruwen finds himself embroiled in a contest of mythical proportions. Invited by the enigmatic Nine Muses, Ruwen and a cohort of alchemists from the Black Pyramid journey to a mysterious location where the boundaries between the Shadow Realm and the Material Realm dangerously blur.

As the competition unfolds, Ruwen suspects that the Muses’ quests harbor darker undertones. With each task designed to delve deeper into the forbidden, Ruwen fears the Muses have unearthed a secret in the Shadow Realm—one that threatens to unravel the very fabric of the universe.

Guiding his friends and fellow alchemists, Ruwen must navigate through this treacherous contest while honing skills long neglected. As the true nature of the Muses’ pact with the shadows emerges, Ruwen faces a race against time to unravel the mysteries of the Shadow Realm and prevent a cataclysm that could annihilate all he holds dear.

In “The Tenth Muse,” secret alliances are revealed, ancient secrets are unearthed, and the barrier between realms blurs. In the flickering shadows of otherworldly pacts Ruwen must outwit the Muses and save the universe, or risk becoming the final note in their perilous symphony.

Deacon Frost

Levi Walker reached Taryl after a real bad day at college. An angry walk in the rain led to Truck-Kun and a quick trip to reincarnation. If dying wasn't bad enough, Levi wasn't off the hook for his higher education.

Reborn on Taryl and sent to the Academy, Levi is expected to learn how to wield powerful magics. A glitch in the Reincarnation Network has left him with a new body and no idea what’s going on. He’s been told he has great magical potential, but no one is sure what kind.

Now Levi has to accept magic is real, mana vapor makes airships fly and “Horrors” from another dimension feed on unsuspecting victims. If that’s not bad enough, he still has to do homework.

Fortunately, Levi has always been a quick study.

What could be worse that getting stuck in a virtual world? Instead of enjoying the game, I found myself trapped inside my character’s dead body. Now the only way I can save myself is by procuring the Scroll of Rebirth. The problem is, my chances of getting it are slim. I’m an undead: an outlaw with no friends, only fickle allies, and plenty of enemies. Who are only waiting for their chance to strike.

My undead hangman character has to tread a razor’s edge, with only the support of his fellow players preventing his imminent plunge into the abyss. But are they who they claim they are? In a game, there’s nothing easier than assuming another person’s identity.

But Ruwen’s new city is in shambles. If he doesn’t quickly fortify the walls and revive an army capable of stopping his enemies, he has no chance of surviving the coming onslaught.

Running out of time and facing a lack of resources, Ruwen is forced to bargain for allies and take an unwanted new class. He fears the dire situation makes these preparations pointless, and his failure will doom the entire country.

As the war begins, he learns a devastating lesson: Uru isn’t the only god peering into the future, and his grim circumstances turn hopeless.

Overshadowing everything is the fourth secret, and the dreadful fact it reveals makes Ruwen consider forsaking his destiny.

Because with a future this bleak, dying now might be his best option.

The Light continues to shine but mystery has never gone far. Follow Klein as he finds himself entangled with the Churches of the world—both orthodox and unorthodox—while he slowly develops newfound powers thanks to the Beyonder potions.

Silence

Nicoli Gonnella

A sacrifice made. A Primordial defeated. The hard part starts now.

Felix had risked everything to stop the threat of the Unending Maw. Except, instead of death, he and his Companion Pit were transported to the deadly Void, a place far worse than the Foglands. The Maw is there with them, bonded somehow to Felix in a way none of them understand, but all of them hate.

The three must navigate the desolate expanse of the dark Void, contending with voidbeasts, marauders, and the creeping influence of the Maw itself. It will take everything that Felix has—and more—merely to survive, let alone escape.

All Choices Have Consequences.

K.T. Hanna

The Library once stood proud as a beacon of magic and power.

For 500 years, it has been broken.

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly she is the sole existing potential Librarian. Now it’s not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the Library system before the universe itself disintegrates.

Once she’s settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work- just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no Librarian for the last several centuries.

And once that’s done she can start gathering overdue books.

All 18,042 of them to start with.

There’ll be a helluva lot of late fees to process.
