Luke was your typical nine-to-five office drone when he was killed in a head-on car collision during his morning commute. Instead of going to heaven, Luke's soul is brought to a hellish realm on the verge of total destruction, where two supernatural beings soon engage in brutal combat. Defeating her rival, the victorious Arke prepares to claim her prize, the powerful God Seed. But the ancient artifact has plans of its own, offering to soul-bond with Luke, who accepts and flees to the world of Theos to escape Arke's wrath.

I never really expected to go from full-time Neet to a God, but you know how life hits, right? Well, it doesn't really matter in the end. What matters is how I got there. You know how I said this ain't that type of guide? Well, maybe it can be. Maybe you'll figure some things out along the way—who knows? Actually I do, and you probably won't, but who cares, right? So take a seat in your mother's basement ,or whatever hole you live in, and listen to the story of how I, a full-time Neet, became a God.

When I answered an ad for a caretaker at Saint Mark’s Sanctuary, I thought I’d be dusting chandeliers and polishing floors. I didn’t expect to be tricked into a curse, going into debt to a monster, and being forced to take a self-paced “let’s learn magic” course so I can fix a 2,000-year-old problem. And that monster? Not your ordinary, everyday beast. He has hooves, and horns, and fur on his legs. But you know where he doesn’t have fur? Yeah. There. Which is fine. Except he doesn’t wear pants.

Raised in a family of demon hunters, Blair Murphy has her own personal demons to fight: the father who trained, then abandoned her, and the fiancé who walked out on her after learning what she is. Now she finds herself training a sorcerer from 12th century Ireland, a witch from modern day New York, a scholar and a shape changer from the mythical land of Geall.

Paying off a debt to the gods is never easy. In Kuala Lumpur, deities from a handful of major faiths tiptoe around each other and damned souls number in the millions. Now the Dragon King of the South wants to throw sorcerer and former triad soldier Rupert Wong right in it. The ocean god's daughter and her once-mortal husband have been murdered, leaving a single clue: bloodied feathers from the Greek furies. It's a clue that could start a war between pantheons, and Rupert's stuck in the middle.

Delano, man turned Apprenti turned god-eater, has staked his claim on our world, and he’s calling all gods and monsters to his side. There’s nowhere for mankind to run and nowhere to hide. We either fight now or bow to his will forever. And there’s no way in heaven or hell I’m going to bow to scum like him. My name is Vic Stratton. I have a team. I have a plan. I have the freaking sword of the gods at my side. But am I ready to save the world?

Breaking out of FBI lock up nearly got me killed, but that’s nothing compared to getting off this damn island. The gods have descended on New York, and all hell has broken loose.

I’m Vic Stratton, and I can survive anything the Forgotten throw at me. But I can’t say the same for those who look to me for protection. In fact, they’re a bit of a mess. Hunted by the gods and dogged by their minions, with a serial killer hidden among our ranks, the New York City exiles stand little chance out on the open road. Good thing we’re not alone. Me and my team of unlikely allies must find a place to hide the survivors before they become victims like the rest. But the hidden military base I’m looking for could be more deadly than the road we’ve left behind.

Vampires are overrunning my city. The FBI is on my tail. And the god of darkness wants to meet with me. Just another day in the life of a hero. Luckily, this time, I’m not alone.

Luke Bennet and his partner, the dwifkin Zea, have reached the eastern continent. But the Pantheon hasn't given up trying to stop them, unleashing a horde of demons across the land in hopes of killing Luke once and for all. Wherever he goes, there are always more, ready to sink their claws into him. And no matter how many of them he defeats, he doesn't get any stronger. Because these beings exist outside of the system itself....

Luke Bennet isn't fighting alone anymore. The beautiful dwifkin Zea is stalwart by his side, and it's a good thing too. As if the battle-prone squirrel folk and otter-kin weren't enough, he's got mercenaries, bands of raiders, and a bloodthirsty inquisitor on his tail. All he wants is to get back his missing family. Can't a guy catch a break? To that end, Luke is honing his skills by battling all the beasts that get between him and completion of his mission. Still, he and Zea are both banking on a bloodline purification ritual to help them get to the God Machine.

The village of Saint-Ferdinand has all the trappings of a quiet life. Though if an out-of-towner stopped in, they would notice one unusual thing - a cemetery far too large and much too full for such a small town, lined with the victims of the Saint-Ferdinand Killer, who has eluded police for nearly two decades. It's not until after Inspector Stephen Crowley finally catches the killer that the town discovers even darker forces are at play.

My name is Sam Ryder. I was abducted from Earth and brought to a planet called Tor, a world of dying goddesses and monsters. I was leveled up - five times now - turning me from a slightly overweight gamer into a ripped god responsible for protecting three uber-hot goddesses and a retinue of alien women warriors. At this point in the yarn, we've recovered two of the three goddesses' hearts, but still have one to go. Oh yeah, and we're about to be attacked by the largest demon horde in the history of the universe. All in a day's work.

The next prophesied Calamity was one of Civil War. Even without the presence of seditious groups such as the Order of Extinction and the Followers of Calamities undermining the unity of the world, the many disparate Kingdoms were barely cooperative at best. Meanwhile, Sungchul becomes increasingly exposed to the legends of the ancient dungeons hidden away by the Lesser Gods, which held the key to immortality. With the many factions hell-bent on power, it seems all but inevitable that these long-forgotten Dungeons of the Gods return to the forefront of the world.

Ixion, the city of mages, has seemingly transformed into a perfect society. It faces no shortage of resources, thanks to Vestiare of the Seven Heroes and her Colossus. However, its inhabitants have turned to the heretical worshiping of a Lesser God. Beauty is skin deep, and this facade of perfection shrouds the intentions of the Seven Heroes: The Second Calamity. In the midst of it all, Sungchul finally begins making progress toward a more personal goal...

So... you're here once again? Well, unfortunately, this chapter of my story is shorter than you were probably hoping for, but still sweet. The journey from full-time Neet to a God is no easy task, as you learned and I experienced firsthand. Being burned alive in mind, body, and soul might have forced me down, but I'm not out.

A System apocalypse has ripped humanity away from its home planet, Earth-73, firing the starting pistol on a marathon race for survival against beastly odds. And in the violent magical worlds of the System's "Orientation," it's getting harder to tell the monsters from the savage humans.
