"Hey, great news, kid... you're dead!" With these words, Jack Eames, unrepentant slacker, found himself staring down God, and was offered a choice- An eternal life of never-ending bliss and relaxation, OR the chance to start over as a powerful hero, fighting to defeat monsters, rescue maidens, and save this new world from another player - a villain who has been given the exact same advantages he has. ...And a couple weeks head start. The ultimate prize? The winner of the contest gets to become God of this new fantasy world, and reshape it however they can possibly imagine! The downside? Whichever one of them loses ceases to exist! For Jack, a clueless, fantasy-obsessed shut-in, picking option number two wasn't hard. Learning that being a hero takes much more than pressing buttons on a controller, and that a real fantasy world is far more dangerous than the ones in stories he loves.... well, that's something else entirely!

Cael Bernog is an unlucky thief. Very, very unlucky. Life is never easy for a devilkin, but even by that standard, Cael Bernog is cursed. In fact, out of all of his stats, his luck is so low it is impossible for it to go lower. 1, out of a possible 255. But one day during a heist, he stumbles across a prank item in one of the local magic shops called an Amulet of Bad Luck. Out of morbid curiosity, he takes it for himself, only to discover that for some strange reason instead of sending his Luck score to zero, it increases it to the highest possible amount! Now blessed with supernaturally good luck, Cael finds himself not only getting everything he has ever wanted, but also a lot of unwanted attention from those whose paths even luck cannot keep him from crossing.

She's the youngest mage to make it to year 7 at the prestigious Coltriss Academy in over a generation. Now in the final term of her final year, Eleanor Agnicyan must prove she is worthy of graduation by overcoming the final challenge every student must face to earn their staff- traversing the deadly Wandering Halls of the Magebane while racing against every other student in her class to reach the end first. The challenge stands to push her magical abilities and problem-solving skills to the limit. One wrong move could be her last. And in the race to magehood, the non-living challenges are the least of one's problems.

Fifteen years ago, the Legion arose on the continent of Forseal, led by a fallen hero who calls himself Emperor. For Aloura Gildcrest, prodigy of war and swordswoman extraordinaire, the Legion are nothing but a proving ground for her ever-increasing martial talents. For Ayden Lorrike, inventor and pacifist, they are nothing more than a distant nuisance that are bad for his peace of mind. For Garviel Ironside, aging mercenary captain, they are nothing more than the cause of his first death. But when the Legion come for the Republic of Adelrest, they are all forced to come face to face with the horrors a highly-coordinated horde of armored skeletons brings.

Iro Emmerick awakes in a trench puddle with almost no memory of who he was before the war, and a nearly-indestructible new body made of clockwork and steel. Driven by a need for answers, he sets out to discover the truth of what happened to him, and finds a world that is far different than the fragments he remembers. //Story updates at least 3 times a week, usually on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
