My name is Carter Riley. I am a veteran peacekeeper--once a one-armed, homeless, jobless father, now the first human ever to come into contact with the Precursors' Cube on Mars, and proud owner of the most combative hamster in the galaxy. The artifact is what brought me to Sidus, a mysterious space station at the center of the galaxy. A dozen or so alien civilizations have also found their way here, seemingly to unite against a common enemy. Or common enemies.

I am a grandson, and I have nanomachines inside me. What did you expect? The surprise appearance of my superpowerful great-grandmother has forced me to change my plans.

Life had dealt me a tough hand as an unemployed and disabled individual on Earth, but an unexpected twist of fate hurled me to Sidus. Picture this: a bustling nexus in space where advanced extraterrestrial races converge, having survived the grueling tests of ancient forebearers. Amidst them all, I stood out. The Sentience of Sidus identified me as a unique entity—the first of my kind and the chosen protector. My roles shifted dramatically—from the mighty dragon at the helm of the Triad and an esteemed agent to being romantically involved with Earth's president's sister.

With the help of my great-grandmother's familiar, Baal, I overthrow a reign of tyranny at my preschool. Kids need toys! Power to tots! That done, I finally have time for some serious strength training! The 'Core Snatching' skill I learned from the deadly sin Envy comes in useful here. It lets me devour the very essence of a freshly killed being, and Baal suggests starting with demons—creatures that are beyond salvation. It's a good plan for enhancing my strength. And it works!

My name is Ethan Drake and I’m a police detective...and I got plenty darkness to give.So does my partner, who’s a demon, and frankly, a royal pain in my ass. But occult investigators are in short supply in the PD, so what are you going to do? Anyway, we just caught a body-snatching case that has the stench of occult workings all over it. Seems someone wants to summon something bad into this world, something that threatens the very fate of humanity. I could care less about the fate of humanity myself, but hey, when it’s your job, you gotta do something, right?

Life in the Great Pulha Woodlands is the very definition of stillness and tranquility—and Acer's had enough of it! That's right. Acer isn't quite like the other high elves of the forest. For starters, he remembers living a past life as a human in another world . . . meaning he's got a taste for meat, adventure, and plenty of other decidedly un-elven things! He's also bored out of his skull after 120 years of the peace and quiet of their serene sylvan lifestyle. 

In Sidus, notoriety comes with danger, and every enhancement is a double-edged sword. Betrayed by his species, his family dissolved, Carter Riley is the quintessential underdog turned unwilling pioneer. As the first human to interface with the legacy of an ancient race, he is thrust into the heart of the Sidus system—a game-like reality where his every move is monitored, and every level gained draws him deeper into a labyrinth of intrigue. Carter has the power to level humanity up by deciphering the legacy of an ancient civilization.

Sam Smith, the biggest superhero fanboy ever, was excited to get super powers...until his first evening as a crime fighter meant dealing with the villain Exosuit. Then Sam died. It was a heroic death, but still not how Sam imagined things going. To his surprise, Sam wakes as a "Villain Core” - the AI behind superhero training centers. He’s quickly informed that an equal number of superheroes and supervillains will be created for an intergalactic competition over the control of Earth, and Sam must prepare his side - the superheroes - for this grand war.

Will has managed to pull the four nearby dungeon cores together, but his creatures are woefully under-powered to meet the threats piling up against him and his people. Gar must bring his kingdom, nearby smaller peoples, and any portions of the great Kingdom of Eladrin he can convince to rebel together as part of his new Kingdom of Daruk, putting together a force capable of actually fighting the much larger and richer Kingdom of Eladrin. At the same time, he must wield his fractious adventuring company, Adamant’s Own, as a power to feared.

What does the Code have in store for me next? Looks like I'm never going to get to relax. This world I've ended up in is on the brink of a great war. It'll be a tragedy for its inhabitants.

For Will, he seeks first to absorb the power of the dead Voidbringer Core and then expand to find all the nearby cores. Perhaps, he can ally with them, or even protect them from the Voidbringer threat. In addition, he intends to undergo the trial to discover his third magic with the aid of Amber. Lastly, he must deal with the increasing number of dungeon fairies that are dependent on him.

The Life of God in the Soul of Man by Henry Scougal (1650 - 1678) was originally written as a private letter to explain Christianity to a friend. Just before his death in 1677, Scougal allowed the private communication to be published. It has become a classic Puritan text and one of the most influential treatises ever written for the comfort of believers. Scougal wrote that Christianity is not about external duties, nor is it an emotion.

And that’s just before breakfast. As the FPD’s only occult investigator, I deal with a lot more than your average cop, and often that means babysitting a bunch of volatile demons...when I’m not working cases that is.
