My life was far from perfect, revolving around a dead-end school and caring for my sickly mother. It’s not until a chance encounter with a beautiful and mysterious blonde that I learn the truth about myself. You see, I’m not just an ordinary human. I’m a demon lord, potentially one of the strongest that’s ever lived. My mysterious new friend introduces me to the Academy for Demonic Education, where I learn about my emerging powers alongside my gorgeous classmates, including a shy brunette trying to find her voice as well as a famous shifter princess.

My entire life, I’ve always wanted to be a legendary dragon lancer. Now a twist of fate has brought me to the Royal Dragon Academy and bonded me to a rare dragon. To graduate, I must survive five brutal trials designed to crush those unworthy of the title. The going won’t be easy. Jealous nobles and rival flight orders want me grounded for good. My only allies are two outcasts: a noblewoman seeking to restore her family name and a defiant commoner with everything to prove. Together, we’ll train our dragons, conquer our fears, and strive to be the very best.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms.

All of the incredibly powerful high mages died out centuries ago. Nobody expected one to return. I was just a simple blacksmith apprentice when a visit by the mages of Essalin confirmed what I’d long suspected—I could touch the aether. Destined to be a mage, I’m plucked from my village alongside a feisty redhead so we could journey to the fabled city of the high mages to learn how to control and wield the aether. The road there isn’t going to be easy though.

When the Angelic Kingdom struck, they shattered the demonic legions, driving them back to the Second Circle. Now, Jake leads a broken army, entrenched at the Academy for Demonic Education and struggling for their very survival. But just when all hope looks lost, Jake uncovers a key breakthrough that could change the course of history.

I wasn’t born to rule. I’m the king’s second son, the spare that won’t inherit any real power. Despite my fate, I’ve always felt like I was destined for more. When a surprise journey to the elvish kingdom of Hamelin puts me in the crosshairs of scheming nobles, magical talismans, brutal orc hybrids, and ruthless brigands, I finally have the chance to prove myself.

The continent is engulfed in war, and the Firelanders are hunting an ancient weapon that could tip the balance. Since ascending to the throne, my life has been anything but easy. A shadowy puppet master is fueling the conflict between Manzano and Illythia, driving both nations toward ruin. In the south, Vivienne is my unlikely ally, but the beautiful blonde has made it clear that her loyalty comes at a cost I may not be ready to pay.

My life took a turn I never expected on the day the world ended. Suddenly forced to fight in a bloody arena by a faceless System, I find the only way to survive is to win. I’m told that ten victories in the arena will give me my freedom, but if I’m going to get there, I’ll need a crack team of hardened allies to fight with me. What I got instead was a bratty college girl with a jealousy streak, a momma’s boy roommate who now inhabits the body of a piglet, and a devastatingly gorgeous teacher whose sword is as sharp as her tongue.

The Demonic Overlord himself has just dropped the biggest bombshell on Jake, and the stakes have risen again. Now that he’s being pulled deeper into the hierarchy of the Nine Circles, Jake has to find a way to navigate this power-hungry world without the help of his biggest ally—Professor Hightower. The loss couldn’t have come at a worse time. When an ancient demonic sorcerer starts to target Jake, his carefully-constructed world begins to crumble.

Every mage in Essalin can pull a single kind of aether, except me. I can pull four. During the journey to the mage academy in Lumeria, I find out that I’m a high mage, the first one born in centuries. On the night I found out, I saved an entire army from destruction while battling a rogue mage from the Fire Lands.

Only one man stands in the way of the Supreme Fire Lord and the subjugation of an entire continent. As the Firelander army razes its way across the continent, Connor is outmatched, outnumbered, and out of time. His only hope lies in finding the Orb of Darkness, but the whereabouts of such a power are currently unknown. Until now.

After saving Hamelin and earning the loyalty of Princess Adriana, I’m called back to Sevona to claim my birthright as crown prince. But the road home is anything but simple. A hidden dwarf city is under siege. A relentless knight in black armor watches my every move. And a rival noble house schemes to tear our kingdom apart for another’s favor. With my girls beside me and new allies joining the fight, I’ll need every ounce of strength and cunning to earn my crown.

The Supreme Fire Lord has returned—and he won’t stop until he’s had his vengeance. After a brutal battle in the ruins of the Lost City, Connor journeys to the mysterious land of Illythia, where an ultimatum forces all the remaining leaders to pick sides. To the south, Vivienne’s flashy arrival stirs tension when a shocking announcement casts doubt on their already shaky alliance. Amid the chaos, a mysterious visitor from Tolosa strikes a bargain with Connor, revealing the existence of an ancient weapon powerful enough to slay a god.

I’ve always wanted to conquer the Big 5 dungeons ever since one of them took the life of my father nearly fifteen years ago. Nobody ever said the Path of Progression was easy, but my burning desire to dive can’t be quenched. I just never thought I’d be prohibited from getting a diving license just because I tried to help a bratty blonde girl get hers. Soon, we’re joined by a lovely brunette bookworm, and we start diving the dungeon on our own terms. As it turns out, I have a few abilities that greatly increase our chances of actually finishing the Path, leading to a life of fame and luxury.

I had a great time during my chaotic first year at the academy, where I learned about my demonic powers and made a few gorgeous friends. My sophomore year is starting early, introducing me to new classes and new girls, including a quiet tomboy named Andie and an obsessive redhead named Emma. The girls aren’t the only ones on my radar though. News of an ancient demonic artifact surfaces for the first time in generations, and somehow, it’s linked to me. It’s going to take every connection I have to find it, and it just might lead to something that can destroy the entire Nine Circles.

Even with the shaky truce with Ramona, Jake’s life inside the Nine Circles is hardly peaceful. Samael the sorcerer is still out there, and his next move threatens the very existence of the Nine Circles, right down to the fabric of time itself. That’s not the only trouble that’s brewing though. From disgruntled archlords to vengeful angels, Jake and his friends, including the beautiful Amara Hightower, will have their hands full trying to keep the demonic realm intact.

War has begun. The Angelic Kingdom has struck the Nine Circles, shattering the tenuous peace between them and taking the life of someone very close to Jake. Now, the demonic world is splintered into two sides—one that follows Jake and his bonded network while the other rallies behind the rogue ex-archlord Camio and his band of miscreants. Without unity, the Nine Circles can’t hope to stand against the Lord of All Light, especially when an old enemy returns, armed with newfound power and bent on Jake’s destruction.

The time has come for Jeremy and his diving team of lovely ladies to face the ultimate test. The fifth and final dungeon awaits them, but standing in their way is a former mentor turned adversary that'll do anything to destroy their newfound power. Amidst this chaos, Jeremy meets an unexpected ally—a former diver who knows what it takes to survive the fifth dungeon. Someone who just might give Jeremy the edge to bring Rico Cartwright to heel. But with Rico’s endgame looming, will this new mentor have enough time to teach Jeremy how to become the ultimate victor of the Path of Progression?

I was a nobody until my diving team conquered the first two dungeons in the Path of Progression. And now? I’m famous. Throughout Aspatria, everyone knows my name, and they’re all talking about just how powerful our team can become. My enemies are taking notice too. After defeating the fabled Slayer in the second dungeon, I know someone is waiting to take their revenge on me. I need to watch my back as we set our sights on the next two dungeons.
