High school senior Silas Bruer is at his last licks of patience with his terrible and painfully underwhelming life. He is pummeled at school, his girlfriend dumps him, and his piss-poor excuse of a father sends him out on an errand late at night that gets him a stalker on his tail. To make matters worse, the stalker has a vendetta against him, one that leaves Silas mutilated in an alleyway by a dumpster and a half-eaten pizza from Antonio's Pizza Parlor. Death by a mysterious skull-faced titan was inevitable but only temporary. When he wakes up again, he is isekai'd to a fantasy world.

Day in and day out, I was reminded of what I was: a subject, a mere guinea pig to a bunch of insatiable lab tests. These scientists were trying to break me, recondition me, control me. I had no idea that my life would succumb to this, a mysterious phenomenon in need of experimentation. Because humans feared what they couldn’t understand, and I happened to be a powerhouse in my own right, a supernatural prodigy. But one day, after almost twenty years, I escaped, leaving nothing behind but ashes and acid rain.

There’s something about Kendall Seers that my wolf would kill for, which is weird because the girl doesn’t have a scent. What is she, a shifter? A fae? My instincts have been off since I left my backwoods town to play college football. Going pro could be my way out. Out of poverty. Out of my pack. And out from under the past that haunts me. My wolf isn’t making it easy, though. The only thing that calms him is Kendall.

Teasing a wolf usually gets you bit. That’s why I never made a move on my best friend. But when he saves me from the worst fate of all, facing my family without the fiancé I told them I had, he becomes hard to resist.

After narrowly escaping a fight against a giant orc shaman, Silas must continue collecting the last two shard pieces of the broken dungeon core to prevent the goddess core from dying.

No one understands what it's like when your mother is famous for her beauty and you are, at best, average. Actually I'm wrong. She wasn't famous just for her beauty, but that's how people tell the story, how people have always told the story. That was even her name for a while. No one remembered her real name. She was just the sleeping princess or Sleeping Beauty. I'm only a footnote in my own life, destined to always be Sleeping Beauty's daughter. My name's Princess Azia Rose of Draconis, and here is my story....

When TBC labeled my girlfriend Rachel Henderson as a class A threat, the first thing I wanted to do was chase after her.

By the third week, he had shattered my heart. Maybe I shouldn’t have made a big deal about bringing him to the next family get-together. Luckily, there was one person who could always fix things when a guy left me in pieces: my best friend, Titus. He was my rock. That’s why I asked him to come home with me to pretend to be my fiancé.

What would you change about your past if you had the chance? What if you didn't have a choice? Stevie Geller doesn't do conflict.
