Inadvisably Compelled Books in Order

A dungeon core rejects the usual expectations of monsters, treasure and visiting adventurers, as well as the cruelty associated with other cores. Seeking another way to exist, it must find alternatives to the roles its world assumes it should fulfill.

Hiding from the Guild of Arcane Regulation has taught Callum that avoiding its authority will never secure his freedom. He decides to confront the organization directly, turning his struggle for independence into a war against the system governing Earth's mages.

Callum has spent his life concealing the strange creatures he sees among ordinary people. Learning at thirty that he is a mage brings unwanted official obligations, prompting him to resist the supernatural authorities determined to control his future.

After escaping the organizations controlling supernatural life, Callum can no longer rely on anonymity. With powerful authorities aware of him, he must find a deliberate path toward security and independence rather than simply reacting to pursuit.

The fractured Guild of Arcane Regulation still forces Callum into hiding, but he refuses to keep running. Building his own strength means confronting the disorder his resistance has created and finding a place in the supernatural world he has changed.

With vampires barred from Earth, Callum faces the political consequences of attacking portal worlds. Rival supernatural powers emerge openly, forcing him and his allies into a conflict whose stakes extend beyond personal freedom to humanity’s sovereignty.

Explorer Jonathan Heights claims to have seen sunlight in a world accustomed to endless darkness. His expedition aboard the airship Endeavor draws royal and criminal interests, whose competing motives complicate a dangerous voyage beyond the limits of civilization.

After a deadly System imposes game-like rules on Earth, humanity fights free. Postbiological citizen Cato then crosses into its wider domain, using advanced technology and unconventional tactics to destroy the reality-altering power from outside its magical rules.

Cato’s campaign expands into a System spanning countless worlds and beings powerful enough to destroy planets. With few allies and tight technological restrictions, he relies on his postbiological nature to spread faster than conventional opponents can anticipate.

Years of preparation give Cato a route toward the System Core and a chance to end its rule. Ancient powers now recognize the threat he poses, forcing him to recruit allies while protecting innocents from their reprisals.

Orphaned by a catastrophic battle between superhumans, Isaac Hartson grows up among society’s powerless workers. Armed with an underestimated ability and a calculating mind, he sets out to make supposedly untouchable heroes face the consequences.

Isaac Hartson travels with Sarah into the Deep Kingdoms, hoping to understand his changing powers. With his abilities exposed and the consequences of Gloryfall spreading, he must evade factions determined to use him for themselves.

An old friend hires Isaac to end a centuries-long civil war on the moon. Facing divisions humans barely understand, he must find a way to break the stalemate without allowing either side to destroy the other.
