Protection, Nature, and War–I’ve obtained three domains of magic. Now it's time for me to get in touch with my inner Darkness...if I can find her before I die. Ever since my last adventure in the Halls, I've been experiencing debilitating nose bleeds, which are just a symptom of something far more sinister. The only one who can help me now is the Aspect of Darkness, who is being guarded by an army of strange mages with unknown motives. Finding the fourth Aspect of magic will force me into the dark underbelly of the Halls itself.

My name is Danny Abbott. I went to bed thinking I had just another day at the office waiting for me. Instead, I find myself in Dungeon World, a planet-wide RPG-themed amusement park. The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long gone. Sure, maintenance worker sounds like a weird job to be stuck with—until I find out that it lets me reroll chests, disable traps, and access the park's hidden paths and back halls. Then I realize that the world is my oyster.

I thought I was destined for an early grave. Apparently, fate had other plans for me. My name is Jake. After twenty-three years of life, all I have to my name is a dead-end job and an undiagnosed metabolic disorder that has the doctors baffled. Everything changed on my birthday when I found a magical key that followed me home. It led me to the Halls of Magic, a multiversal repository of arcane knowledge that will allow me the chance to cure my broken body and unlock arcane power.

My name is James Browning. Not long ago, I was a proud member of the 92nd Legion, the Star Ravagers. We were super-soldiers that defended humanity from aliens, heretics, and otherworldly threats. But a callous betrayal left my legion decimated, erased, and dishonored. I thought I was doomed to spend the rest of my life on a distant penal colony. But when I suddenly find myself stranded in an alien space station, surrounded by the wrecks of lost spaceships, I know I have a chance at escape.

A lot has changed since I turned twenty-three and gained access to the Halls of Magic. Back then, I was stuck in a dead-end job, plagued by a metabolic disorder destined to put me in an early grave. Since accessing the Halls of Magic, I've discovered a cure for my condition, but only if I can unlock all five Aspects of magic. Armed with a spellbook straight out of an RPG, a sarcastic feline familiar, and the adoration of two beautiful Aspects—who are still learning how to be human—I feel unstoppable. But the Halls aren’t as empty as we had thought.

The complete series in a single offering! This battle shall reach its inevitable conclusion -- and the final triumph will belong to Doctor Undying!

My name is Mal, and ever since I was a boy I've been treated as a malcontent because of my ability to see magic. For everyone else, magic is proof of the Goddess's love. For me, it is just a colorful spread of enchantments, cantrips, blessings, and hexes. And any spell I can see, I can break. I had always expected to grow up to be a ditch-digger. Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord.

My name is Brent, and I'm the proud, new owner of Rootwood Manor. Sure, it's a rundown mansion in the middle of nowhere... but that makes it the perfect place for my magical lair. Ever since the System came to Earth I've aspired to be a powerful wizard! Of course, difficulties crop up. I’ve got to learn to master my new magic, pay down my mortgage, and raise money for the manor’s repair. There’s also dealing with my creepy neighbors, escaping murderous ghosts, and preventing a blood ritual that could spell the end of the world.

When I bound myself to a rundown magical manor, I never expected I’d become a mighty hearthomancer, warden of an imprisoned demon and protector of Earth. Still, it worked out pretty well. I’ve got a few side hustles opening up, rent income is steady, and wedding bells are in the air. But now, some jerk who calls him Damnation’s Architect is trying to ruin everything. He’s been conspiring for centuries to destroy my home and bring about the apocalypse. It’s up to me and my brides-to-be to save the day.

Waking up in a theme-park world run amok was a bit rough. But leveling up to be an epic hero, seizing a mountain of treasure, and romancing a bevy of beauties isn't too bad. My name is Danny Abbott. I went to bed thinking I had just another day at the office waiting for me. Instead, I find myself in Dungeon World, a planet-wide RPG-themed amusement park. The monsters are real, the perils are deadly, and the people in charge are long since gone.

Instead, I was dubbed a hero. Heroes are sent out in the wasteland, to slay monsters and to challenge the Demon Lord. It's a suicide mission. But once I was exiled, I found that the outside world was drastically different than I had thought.

My name is Robert Grailmont. Since I was young, I felt a call to serve, to be a respectable and dependable leader. But when my ambitions were derailed by corruption and greed, I found a new calling—one from another world. "Dark Lord, we need you!" Now I must take up the crown. Duskhaven, the land of my ancestors, was conquered and enslaved by Alruna, Goddess of Light. With the blessing of the Goddess of Night, I shall retake our land and bring forth Ascendant Queens, my lovers and avatars of darkness’s might.

I never expected I’d become a mighty wizard, let alone a married man with five wonderful brides, but it seems things have been working out in my favor. My lair is expanding, new opportunities abound, and I’ve been taking lessons from some of the most powerful hearthomancers to have ever lived. But that dang noise keeps ringing in my ears. Where is it coming from? And how is a phantom from my past, long since thought defeated, now threatening not just my life, but the lives of everyone I know and care about?

I changed the face of the world, creating a paradise for superhumans. All it took was throwing a fight and spending 40 years in jail. That was a small price to pay as an immortal. But now that I’m out on parole I fully intend on enjoying the world I created.

It's all been leading to this: the battle to decide the fate of Dungeon World! When I arrived on the theme-park planet run amok, I had nothing, but I've built an amazing life surrounded by the women I love. There's no way I'm allowing some tyrannical madman to steal it all away. Nobody said the destined showdown would be easy. We'll have to contend with insane biomechanical monsters, cyberpunk gangsters, and extraversal horrors beyond count! Our journey will take us from the deepest dungeons to dead worlds and shattered realities.

Even after reuniting with my beloved, the villainess Green Phoenix, the work of an immortal is never done. Learning of a plot to take over the world using my old mind control virus, I know I must act. For the virus is a fake, a ruse to hide my magnum opus—the genophage that unlocked the potential of the human genome and led to the current age of parahumans. If someone were to learn the truth, they could undo my greatest work or worse.

It’s a contest that has been brewing for centuries–immortal versus immortal! It’s a no-holds-barred war between me and my nemesis, The Widow. Our confrontation will determine the fate of parahumanity–and the entire world! But with my beautiful villainesses by my side, I know we will emerge triumphant. Our battles will take us across the globe, from Herald City to the Alps, and deep under London. Terrorist attacks, mad sorceresses, and doomsday plots–I’ll crush them all to see my vision for the future come to fruition.

I’ve come far in my quest against the Saints and Republic, gathering power allies and the firepower of the greatest starship built by humanity. Only… it might not be enough. The Saints have ripped a hole in reality, one that will allow their eldritch masters to enter our world and consume it whole. Leading humanity’s crusade against the apocalypse, my lovers and I will need to smash through the Saints' defenses and reach the corrupt capital of the Republic. If we can slay our foes before the breach fully opens, we might have a chance of stopping them.

My family has run Sugarville’s one and only B&B for years. Sure, it's a little rundown and the gardens are overgrown, but it’s still got what I like to call rustic charm. If things go my way, it’ll become a cozy shelter for Hellhounds, Alicorns, Kobolds, and more! Yup – I’ve just become the manager of a government-run home for monster girls. Not only will I need to patch the roof, fix the barn, and master my burgeoning magic, but I’ll also need to help our guests adapt to living on Earth! However, unscrupulous forces are prowling about, trying to exploit monster girls for their arcane power.
