Becoming a local hero isn’t always a good thing. Kallan Thane spent the last four years in the shadows. His father’s last name was famous, so he went by his mother’s surname to avoid drawing attention to himself. He was blessed with healing magic that he suppressed to keep the adventuring community from taking interest in him. Kallan even applied to become a medical technician in a small town clinic to stay out of the limelight. The plan was solid, right until his name became the talk of the town. Defeating the end boss of the Misty Fields dungeon was unavoidable since it was the only...

The blackmail brought salvation, just not for him. Kallan Thane did the right thing. He risked exposing his magic by healing someone on the brink of death. Unfortunately for Kal, the man he saved didn’t thank him. He threatened to expose Kal’s secret to the world if he didn’t heal his group during dungeon runs, forcing Kal into servitude at the hands of a cruel, greedy man. Kal’s class, divine, wasn’t the curse he originally feared. Not only could Kal dive deeper into dungeons thanks to his healing ability, but his experience gains were higher than usual, and the new spells/...

Failure wasn’t the end. It was just a different beginning. Kallan Thane Grenwar lived a privileged life. Both of his parents (especially his father) were famous adventurers. Greatness was expected of him throughout his academy days as he worked his way toward his graduation ceremony, the day the gods would decide whether to mark him as a warrior, a mage, or a rogue.

Yesterday, dying from his grueling job. Today, a champion of an entire kingdom. Togashi was already dying from the fumes destroying his lungs, so it made perfect sense to take the blame when his friend killed someone in self-defense.

You probably shouldn’t do it, but Dungeon Depot can help. Maxi Kennedy had a typical day. He was working on his uncle’s house flip when he tried to turn an electrical outlet the right way, forgot to turn off the breaker, received a shock, and woke up in a tiny town with only two houses, a dungeon he mistook for a miniature golf course, and, oddly enough, a store named Dungeon Depot. The store isn’t filled with lumber and power tools. It’s filled with monsters, traps, and insanely hot women. The dungeon, along with the town, was his to do as he pleased. Maxi was beyond shocked, ...

Building a casino made the competition mad, so why not a fighting arena? By now, Maxi has learned that owning his own town isn’t all fun and games. Not only does he have to figure out how to keep his ever-growing population happy, but the other dungeon masters have taken notice of his little town, and some are less than pleased at the way he manipulated the system.

Everyone on the task force needed to level up quickly, so he cheated the ...

The fate of Julian’s people resides within every seed he earns. Julian Thorne had a wonderful life, one filled with friends, family, and an education in Azgarthe, the magi academy located in his hometown called Beachlight. That was before the war. No one deemed the orcs a threat until they swept across Aliria, conquering every city and town in their path. Their warlocks cursed the lands to slow crop growth to a crawl, and every capable magi was executed while the survivors looked on in horror. Julian’s parents included.
