London has a vampire problem... and Emily's been sent to fix it. On her eighteenth birthday, Emily wanted an iPhone and designer shoes. Instead, she got superpowers and a mission to wipe out the bloodsuckers overrunning the city. But there's one problem... the Foundation has no idea about her dark side. Now she's knee-deep in the supernatural underworld—facing off against werewolves, shapeshifters, magicians, and a whole mess of vampires. And just to complicate things, Emily might be falling for one of them. Worse still, an ancient evil is clawing its way into her soul, threatening to ...

The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022. Gigantic solar flares created massive electromagnetic pulses that stopped the heart of our modern world and returned us to the Dark Ages. And Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant Nathaniel Hogan finds that he has been changed by the gamma radiation in the solar flares. They have enhanced his natural abilities, giving him increased speed, strength, and healing; indefinitely extending his life span and enabling him to be able to draw on the power of the solar flares to create magik. But even he was not prepared for what happened next.

The first pulse occurred in the old calendar year of 2022.

He spawned in a murder-maze with a mop, a teacup, and a permanent Level 1 tag. What’s the worst that could happen? Drew was making lattes. Blink. Now he’s an Empty Hand Warrior in a medieval dungeon that runs on game rules and bad ideas. No sword. No armor. Just breath, footwork, and a cup he refuses to drop. The System insists he’s Level 1 forever—a glitch the locals love to laugh at. Joke’s on them. Drew’s class scales off rhythm, timing, and audacity. He learns Flow (breathe right, hit right), Step Aside (don’t be there), and the Anywhere Punch—touch the seam on zero and ...

Instead, the Strip is dim, cell towers are dead, and low-level demons swarm the city like roaches. The Vitelli vampire family is bleeding out, the Shifter Council shows up to “help” (and argue over who’s in charge), and something ancient is wiring mortuaries, tunnels, and nightclubs into a ritual circuit that spells one word: HOME. Lucas has a shotgun, a Saint Benedict medal, and a very short fuse. Riley—his blade-happy, bloodborn...

Juno Hale is still Level 0. The System still thinks that’s a bug. After speed-running the “safe” starter dungeons with her bare hands, Juno marches into Tier Two—where the trees are taller, the wolves hit harder, and the devs are waiting. Their answer to a permanently Level 0 pugilist who keeps breaking their damage curves? Patch Boss: Slaughtercat. It’s fast. It’s lethal.

Every wipe log ...

Drew Armstrong is still gloriously, infuriatingly Level 1—and the city just invited him to an open tournament built for spectacle. Nobles want clang. Sponsors want blood. Drew wants a clean seat and a signed receipt. He enters with no blades, no ropes, no head hits… and starts winning anyway—on timing, angles, and a grip that turns monsters and showboats into polite furniture. When a champion in full plate steps into the ring, Drew does the unthinkable: unbuckles with consent on the rule board and helps the man sit with dignity. The crowd learns there are louder things than applause...

This time, the boys have gone intergalactic. Space vampires, artificial intelligence, battles galore. But maybe Nate has taken on too much. After all–he’s only human…or is he? As always, Nate, Tad and Kob have gone large. Their quest–to save an entire species, whatever the personal cost. OORAH!

Vegas didn’t die. It grew teeth. When the lights flicker and the water starts coming with a price tag, the Strip gets rebranded Jawbone City—new charter, new curfew, and a Water Board that smiles while it squeezes. “Priority passes” decide who drinks and who bleeds. Clinics barter plasma for diesel. And the city learns to bite. Lucas Kane wants no part of the new order… until the med lane needs a rider, a kid needs a miracle, and the syndicate’s “temporary measures” start feeling permanent. Caught between crooked law and desperate people, Lucas builds a third option—street...

Drew is still gloriously, infuriatingly Level 1—a system glitch with a mop, a bucket, and a talent for clean fights. The city wants “Safety Subscriptions.” The kitchens want their cleaver back. The tunnels want benches, not rope. Drew wants people to stop slipping on bad ideas. When a kitchen ogre starts taxing stew with a slab of steel, Drew walks in with a pot lid and footwork. When West Market tries to sell protection with whistles, he answers with Service Lane Protocol: inside voices, lantern low/high, benches before barrels, hands point with feet. Night runs, quiet craft, zero ...

The bell stays decorative. The crowd learns to breathe. And Drew—Empty Hand Warrior, mop in tow—walks into the capital square to end a monster made of applause. The Titan isn’t a dragon. It’s echo, optics, and bad habits with a choir. To beat it, Drew has to plate a Ring Charter at knee height, starve the rafters, and teach a city to count: Four = Double-Hold. Six = Ladder Reset. Eight = Quiet Ready. Nine = Anchor Feet. Ten = Clean Punch (Hands First). No swords. No passes. No tiers. Sabotage? Of course. Sir Paywall pivots from “safety” to “scoreboards”—until his crest ...
