Synopsis

Your favorite dragon is back, and he’s richer than ever!

Months have passed since Vainqueur Knightsbane, Great Calamity of his Age and best dragon in the world, discovered the class system and adventurer lifestyle. More powerful than he has ever been, the great wyrm faces a new challenge: administering the lands he conquered. At his side, his long-suffering minion Victor Dalton struggles to maintain peace in a country where taxes are illegal, angels sell insurance, and demons are the lawyers. Old enemies plot their revenge, and thieves slither in the dark.

Vainqueur better keep his vault locked at night…

Okina Baba

The Moment we've all been waiting for!

Just when you think things can’t get any more complicated…Our army is in position to kick off the final battle with the elves, whoop-de-do. But there’s still the problem of Yamada and the rest of D’s former classmates’ inevitable clash with Vampy, Mr. Oni, and in the worst-case-scenario, the Demon Lord herself. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but can’t we all just get along? At least long enough for me to wipe that stupid smirk off Potimas’s face and put him in the ground once and for all?! Assuming the Demon Lord doesn’t steal the kill, that is. I swear, if there’s one person who hates him more than I do, it’s her. What’s their history anyway…?

Alvin Atwater

The saga of Nate the cheat potion maker continues!

My place in this world slowly reveals itself to me. Unfortunately, I’m constantly reminded just how magicians truly screwed this place up. The Lord Ruler serves as one of the kingdom’s major problems, though there could be more to it.
Tasks: rank up the shop and town, adapt to my ever-increasing strength, and hey, there are foes that are seriously strong out there.
So many things happen in my growing tale this time around. Sit. I shall continue…

Novel contains: Strong MC in a slice of life environment, dungeon diving, boss battles, cultivation and elements, mana/magic, mc exclusive system but it doesn't do the work for him, treasures, adventurers, slow world building, build-up, features that will not be introduced all at once (upgrades so on), actual good loot at the end of very powerful bosses, romance(no harem). As characters develop throughout the series, issues and emotions and even the mc may find himself in a corner or two. A story of an upcoming potion shopkeeper and his apprentices.

Building an S-ranked Potion Shop is easier said than done...

Radley’s Wardrobe for Horny Monsters

★ 4.54

Annabelle Hawthorne

When Mike Radley's magical home grew another floor, he thought he knew what to expect.

He didn't expect a kingdom of portal-chewing rats to be living between his walls.

He really didn't expect to discover that the wardrobe down the hall was a prison world for a murderous kitsune.

And he definitely didn't expect all of his enemies to converge on his house all at once, intent on his destruction.

Welcome to Radley's Wardrobe. Expect the Unexpected.

John C. Wright

SOMEWHITHER is the first part of A TALE OF THE UNWITHERING REALM, a new science fantasy series from the science fiction author John C. Wright. It is an adventure, it is a romance, and it is a coming of age story of a young man who is not a man, in a world that is only one among many. It is a tale of a greater and darker evil with longer reach than anything he could imagine, of despair without bounds, of pain beyond measure, and of the faith required to surmount all three. It is a story of inexorable destiny written in the stars and the stubborn courage that is required to defy it.

Ilya Muromets is a big, ugly, motherless boy who does not look like anyone else in his Oregon town. His father is often absent on Church
missionary work that strangely seems to involve silver bullets, sacred lances, and black helicopters. Ilya works as a janitor for Professor Achitophel Dreadful of the Cryptozoological Museum of Scientific Curiosities, and he has a hopeless crush on the Professor’s daughter, Penelope, who seems to think his name is Marmoset.

One night, when Professor Dreadful escapes from the asylum in which he is presently residing, he sends a warning to Ilya that not only is the professor’s Many Worlds theory correct, but those many worlds are dominated by an unthinkably powerful enemy determined to destroy anyone who opens the Moebius Ring between the worlds. And, as it happens, prior to his involuntary absence, the Professor left his transdimensional equipment in the basement of the Museum plugged-in and running….

So it is that Ilya, as he has long dreamed in secret, is called upon to save the mad scientist’s beautiful daughter. With his squirrel gun, his grandfather’s sword, and his father’s crucifix, Ilya races to save the girl, and, incidentally, the world.

"The world of Grythica is a realm of magic..."

When Lucas invites his friends over to play a new fantasy role-playing game, Journals & Journeys, they expect to encounter elves, zombies, and sorcerers. They expect to visit fairy forests, decrepit ruins, and stunning palaces. They expect adventure.

They don't expect it to be real.

Grythica may be a land of fantasy, but it's a world of terrible danger, too - and one where humans are killed on sight. And while Lucas, Sawyer, Violet, and Caleb should have at least had each other for support, they're separated upon crossing into the realm. Alone, armed only with their wits, they scramble to acquire the magical powers they'll need to survive. It all starts with leveling up.

Can they win out long enough to find each other and devise a way home, all while hiding what they truly are?

Game on.
