Josh Becker was once pretty average. That was until he won the Gigaball Lottery and got hundreds of millions of dollars (after tax). No, wait. He was still pretty average at heart even after that. It was when the portals started arriving in his backyard and he had to kill monsters every night when he started to become more of a special guy. Now armed with some kind of video-gamey "System", Josh is minding his own business, making sure to deal with the portals and the threats they send each and every night.

Vainqueur Knightsbane is your average dragon: a giant, fire-breathing lizard who loves to take naps on his golden hoard, kidnap princesses for fun, and make the life of adventurers miserable. Vainqueur's only pleasure in life is to watch his treasure get bigger, one coin at a time. So when a would-be thief turned unwilling minion tells him about "classes," "levels," and "quests," Vainqueur wonders if maybe, just maybe, he should consider a career change. After all, why bother hunting monsters for free when you can get paid for it?

Death is the first step on Jerry's path to ultimate power. Ostracized by his fellow villagers, hunted by bandits, and watched by the Royal Guard's least elite squad, Jerry is called to balance creating a lovely home with practicing his craft and unleashing death and destruction on his enemies. Unfortunately, taking it slow is not an option. Wizard supremacists tour the Kingdom, Archmages enact devious plans, and the world needs Jerry more than his village does. Adventure calls—death is overrated, anyway.

After years as the Free States of Caldia's most lethal weapon, all I want is to study magic at Stoneway Academy and find something resembling a normal civilian life. The Great War against the Democratic Republic of Auropa has finally come to a ceasefire, but tensions haven't necessarily died down overnight.

This used to be about dungeons...but these days it's more about sharing a pot of tea, or teaching someone the proper way to make a sandwich, or deciding whether your mysterious egg needs more sunlight. Yes, you still venture into dungeons—two in one day, if you're feeling ambitious—and there are still monsters to fight and treasures to find. But when you come out, what matters isn't the treasures you've gathered, it's whether everyone's coming to temple day or if you can all find something fancy enough to wear to the opera.

Ominous Obelisks land on Earth with a single message: Join the Games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive... or roll over and die. Too bad for them, Warren isn't the rolling-over type. The Empire is up to something. Warren and his cohort of unlikely heroes have just discovered that the game has been stacked against them. Someone really wants to harvest Earth's resources... And Warren just might know what that resource is... Turns out that Earth has an abundance of a particular mineral that just might make it the richest planet... well, anywhere. If they survive the games, that is.

As their bond grows and their powers evolve, The Unfortunates will face rogue memories, buried loops, and a predator hiding behind a friendly smile. To survive, they'll need more than bathroom humor and trauma—they’ll need each other.

Not long ago, all Belissar wanted was to be left in peace to tend his apiaries. But that ended when Ruckanos, the brutish son of the local lord, slaughtered his village to make way for his new tower. Rescued by a bee—who happened to be a core—the one-time beekeeper then became king of his own bee realm. Belissar quickly learned how to thrive not only as a leader but as a fighter, using his winged minions to battle the dreaded Hunger that threatens all life. Now, aided by the mystical bear folk who share their knowledge and wisdom with him, he must continue to grow.

Chloe Mayfield is a career cop, but when a high-profile bust goes spectacularly wrong, she finds herself assigned to the losers in Blue Moon … and discovers a world she never knew existed. Tasked to investigate a drowning far from water in a high-rise building, the symbol carved into the victim’s chest defies explanation. Until she begins to pry, and a coven of witches show up with a threat to stay out of their business.

Alex Delmore needs a miracle. She wants out of her dead-end suburban town, but her parents are broke and NYU seems like a distant dream. Good thing there's a genie in town—and he's hiring at the Wellspring Mall.

Immortal demigod Rosie Fox has been patrolling Tanria for decades, but lately, the job has been losing its luster. After one hundred and fifty-seven years of being alive, everything is beginning to lose its luster. When Rosie dies (again) by electrocution (again) after poking around inside a portal choked with shadowy thorns only she can see, she feels stuck in the rut that is her unending life. Thanks to Rosie’s meddling, the portal’s inventor, Dr. Adam Lee, must come in person to repair the damage.

King Arthur's sitting on the British throne, but not everyone's buying the whole “Once and Future King" schtick. Apparently, what he needs to shut up the doubters is the Dark Blade. You know, the one. Massive sword which is oddly stuck in a rock, guarded by a soggy woman handing out weaponry like it’s the prize in a raffle. (Seriously, who came up with this system?)

Kevin of No Particular Skills never asked to be the Chosen One. He just wanted to tend his cabbages and use the outhouse in peace. But when a flaming prophet crashes into his field screaming about world-ending darkness, Kevin is thrust into a quest he never wanted—with a magical talking sword named Wendy (who really wants to cuddle), a rage-prone princess with trust issues, a washed-up alcoholic knight, and a goblin going through a motivational cult phase. Together, this chaotic band of misfits is Eldoria’s last hope. Probably. Maybe. Okay, not really—but the prophecy insists.

Josh starts seeing flights. Was he imagining them? Nope, Elara was seeing them too. Who was flying planes up there? Another real worlder has been immersed - Kaja has entered the game... so why was she flying so much... Josh has trouble meeting her because, well she's flying ... and he doesn't know her base.

Like the other volumes in the Twisted Tales series, Tales with a Twist 6 is an eclectic collection of fine art in the form of short fiction in the genres of comedy, fantasy, horror, mystery (albeit not of the detective or police procedural sort), satire, and science fiction. Mark Twain, the brothers Grimm, Edgar Allan Poe, H. P. Lovecraft, Jonathan Edwards, and H. G. Wells would have fought over who got to read this volume first (had they all been contemporaries of one another), but there's no need for you to do so.

Meet Percy: a short-tempered emperor penguin with delusions of grandeur, a vocabulary that could peel paint off an iceberg, and a dream of ruling the South Pole—with violence, vengeance, and unapologetic sarcasm. After getting booted from his colony for flipper-based misconduct and general rage issues, Percy stumbles into the under-ice criminal underworld. What follows is a riotous rise through penguin slap-fights, seal mafia showdowns, and emotionally unstable puffins—with Percy building an empire of ice, fish, and fury.

As a rule, there are only three things that magic cannot do: create life, bring back the dead, and make people fall in love. As a rule, there are only three things that villagers ask from a witch: to produce children for the old and barren, to bring back the dead, and to make someone or other fall in love. Naturally, Toadmila had been trained to handle such requests with utmost professionalism. The key to it was to smile, look confident, and never let on that there was anything impossible for a witch. As a young witch assigned to assist and protect a bunch of superstitious villagers, ...

Was als lustiges Spiel beginnt, um die Schüler zu motivieren, endet bald in Chaos.

Logan Morrison has had quite the journey. After entering a contract as a small coven's Greater Familiar, he didn't have many aspirations beyond enjoying his new life and relationships. But then things just kind of... happened. Next thing he knew, Logan had dominated hundreds, going on thousands of witches, and that number is set to climb. It wasn't that he wanted to, mind you. In most cases, they forced his hand, doubting his status as the Inevitable Coven King of prophecy—the very first since Merlin himself.
