Ready for Anything—Except This​Strapped for cash, Souya signs up for a shady gig straight out of a video game: warp to a fantasy world with a team of experts and ascend a dungeon tower to make off with its spoils. However, an accident in the transfer process leaves him stranded there alone. Desperate for support, he recruits a host of adventurers—from elven sisters banished from their forest, to a Goddess of Deception and Secrecy partial to lazing about as a cat—to form a party that can brave the tower’s perils. Caught between corrupt nobles and merchants outside the dungeon and deadly monsters within, can this motley band rise to the challenge? Or will Souya’s adventure end before it even begins?

A curse passed down in blood…Continuing their quest to reach the 56th floor of the Tower of Legions, Souya and his party decide to take on a dangerous new monster, the Dragonoise Mydranga, in a bid for glory. Little do they know, however, that this decision portends a series of devastating tragedies… As the band charts the 13thfloor of the dungeon, the horrific truth behind the homeland of one of Souya’s companions comes to light. Is this where the adventures of Souya, Lana, a, Bel, Shuna, Zenobia, and Arvin fall to pieces?

In a world where the Demon King has died, a host of demigods capable of felling him have inherited the world. A master fencer who can figure out how to take out their opponents with a single glance; a lancer so swift they can break the sound barrier; a wyvern rogue who fights with three legendary weapons at once; an all-powerful wizard who can speak thoughts into being; an angelic assassin who deals instant death. Eager to attain the title of “True Hero,” these champions each pursue challenges against formidable foes and spark conflicts among themselves. The battle to determine the mightiest of the mighty begins.

Tremendous destruction has been wrought by the central players in the New Demon King War. Gods made flesh have met their end as their names enter the annals of history. Even so, there are still those with enough power to give shape to the new era. Among them are a golem who revives endlessly by conquering whatever weakness caused its downfall, a giant whose far-reaching arrows transform the very terrain, and an entity that reduces everything it touches to dust... When these forces of nature encounter those who would use their powers for their own ends, the world enters a veritable arms race. And while the seat of the True Hero remains empty, those who profit most from conflict bide their time while their champion lights the flames of war once again.

The battle between the sixteen shura, the chosen representatives of a world ruled by strength, has begun at last. On one end of the battlefield, the Old Kingdoms’ loyalists seek to use the chaos caused by the Particle Storm to stage an uprising and tip the scales in their favor. Meanwhile, the New Principality of Lithia lights a match under the New Demon King War and threatens to reduce everything to ash. After an age of terror, the world will undergo another massive change, and whispers of the True Demon King will be heard far and wide. When the dust finally settles, will the last one standing be the world’s savior? Or will the victor usher in a new era of pain...?

Though the devastating second round of the Six ways Exhibition may have been a tough act to follow, the contenders of the third bout promise a show down for the ages! Next onto the field of battle are Soujirou the Willow-Sword and Ozonezma the Capricious. Soujirouis known for his ability to kill at a single glance and has even reduced legends to after thoughts. But it will take more than that to shake Ozonezma. The enigmaticchimera has more than a few tricks in store, including a mysterious ability prepared just for Soujirou…

Souya, desperate for cash to pay his little sister’s medical expenses, has an offer from a shady company fall into his lap—more than enough money for only a year of work…on the other side of a portal to another dimension, where he’ll have to ascend to the fifty-sixth floor of a dungeon! Worse, his gig-work stint as a fantasy world adventurer gets off on the wrong foot when the transfer process malfunctions, stranding him without supplies! Will his otherworld adventure end before it even begins…?

THE FUTURE WAITS FOR NO ONE The cyberpunk metropolis Shinjuku-a massive city-state bedecked with neon signs, towering skyscrapers, and the latest cutting-edge technology. It is here, in year 2099 of the Fused Era, where the legendary Demon Lord Veltol has his second coming five centuries in the making. But this landscape is nothing like the one he conquered all those years ago, for the fusion of magic and engineering has elevated civilization to dazzling, unprecedented heights. Veltol may have been reduced to a historical footnote, but make no mistake…this brave new world will be his for the taking!

WHAT’S OLD IS NEW AGAIN The dynamic city-state Akihabara is home to two rival factions: Electric Town, intent on furthering technological innovation, and Magic Town, which honors the traditions of old. The Demon Lord Veltol quickly arrives on the scene in search of his long lost retainers…as an exchange student at a prestigious magic school! New lands bring new names and faces, and it doesn’t take long for Veltol to rub shoulders with Akihabara’s three noble houses. But will any of them help him locate his brethren...?

Though the loss of Arvin and Zenobia still weighs heavy on their hearts, Souya and his remaining party members steel themselves to take on the dungeon once again. This time, they’re up against their greatest trial yet: The Deranged Stratum, a perilous section of the labyrinth where a malevolent being has been abducting countless victims. And it looks like Lana is its next target…

Souya’s dungeon adventure has begun in earnest, but now that he has cast aside his guns, he’ll need to master a new weapon if he wants to hold his own. The bow seems like a promising choice, especially after he convinces a pair of beautiful elven sisters to teach him. Things are going smoothly—until the elves’ mysterious past catches up with them! What once looked like a quick side quest ends with Souya embroiled in royal politics and fighting for the honor of his new comrades…!!

Though speculation ran rampant, the fifth match of the Sixways Exhibition between Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation and Lucnoca the Winter was ultimately short-lived. The next legends to clash will be Mestelexil the Box of Desperate Knowledge and Zeljirga the Abyss Web. The first is an infinitely regenerating golem with a near-limitless arsenal of lethal weapons at his disposal. The other is a devious trickster whose dark webs extend from the battlefield to intelligence networks the world over, as befitting a member of Obsidian Eyes. The greatest body versus the greatest mind… And as the forces in the shadows continue to move, chaos looms patiently on the horizon…

The warriors prepare to face off against Alus the Star Runner, who has become Aureatia’s greatest enemy. Following his defeat against Lucnoca the Winter, Alus has been transformed into a cyborg and has begun the attack on Aureatia with his eye on plunder! Only magic items have any hope of harming his new form. The city goes up in flames, bodies litter the ground, and rivers run red with blood. All are strong, all are heroic, but only one can claim the mantle of the True Hero.

The city quivers in the wake of the destruction wrought by Alus the Star Runner. Yet beneath the surface, a shadowy malefactor espies an opportunity to claim power… Taking advantage of the chaos, Iriolde the Atypical Tome returns from exile and immediately begins to act. As plots and schemes intermingle, the next round of the Sixways Exhibition commences! A cold grin finds its way to Lucnoca the Winter’s glacial maw as she anticipates her next opponent: a mere ooze…with the mind of a master tactician. Psianop the Inexhaustible Stagnation squelches into the arena, but what sort of secret weapon would allow an ooze to pose a threat to a legendary dragon?!

Demon Lord Veltol’s search for his missing retainers brings him to Yokohama, a metropolis that broke away from the continent and is now a solitary island in the middle of the ocean. This so-called “Meta-Utopia” is full of mystery and intrigue…and it’s home to a massive prison ruled by an entity who has some nefarious schemes. Veltol, meanwhile, has a plan of his own: He’s breaking into jail!

The Last Yagyu, Soujirou the Willow-Sword versus Rosclay the Absolute. By eliminating Lucnoca the Winter without getting blood on his own hands, it seemed Rosclay’s victory was certain. But Hiroto the Paradox, with his obsidian eye, still wants to rip out his throat. Amidst a chaos where everyone is seeking to triumph with their respective ideals, a sword of a battle-hungry willow cuts through the “absolute.”

Ishura, a rising star in the world of light novels, is a tale of epic proportions—one that involves a battle among several almighty combatants.

In the futuristic Fused Era, Veltol Velsvalt can become anything—a wildly popular streamer, an exchange student at a prestigious magic school, even a prisoner with a 2099-year sentence. And his next challenge is…a detective?! It's time for a whodunnit in Washington, the Endgame City, with the Demon Lord at the center!

Demons and humans normally don’t mix, but in Shibuya, a massive geofront city, demonkind runs rampant and unchecked among humanity. This dark metropolis is where the Demon Lord Veltol finally reunites with his old vassal, May, who has lost most of her memories—but there is also a second May, a conniving Demon Lord who seeks to rule the world and overrun it with demons. Thus begins the fight to determine which Demon Lord will triumph, and only one can come out on top!

The operation to subjugate the "World Word," which has gone haywire following news of Elea's death, begins. Kia, Kuze, Mestelexil, Tu, Uhak. The fates of these five individuals intersect in unexpected ways on a high-speed train. Kuze is planning on assassinating the queen, but Mestelexil and his revival ability stand in his way. Who will claim victory in this terribly incompatible matchup?
