THE SECOND CRADLE - BOOK TWO OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The invasion of Earth has already started. The champions return to find the Roslyn research facility infiltrated by hostile humans and aliens alike, and that the AI ARi left to help run the facility was offline... In a desperate race to save their families the champions find themselves fighting on home just as hard as they did in The Ascendancy. When they finally do make it back into the competition hundreds of years had passed while they were on Earth. The landscape is now prowled by massive predatory monsters and some of the original team that was left behind are missing. Join Earth's Champions and some new friends as they fight for Adeya and Earth continue. The series promises more fights, more dinosaurs, new and scary monsters and of course more Kobolds! In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions once again choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps... Step into the cradle, champion, and find out. THE SECOND CRADLE - A LITRPG ADVENTURE If you haven't had a chance to read the first book yet you can find it here on Novelpedia!

Micromancer: Star of a new Era

At the edge of human corporate space a reincarnator awakened from cryosleep in a celestial body unknown to him in circumstances that shouldn’t have happened yet it did. Surviving another reset, a new purpose ignited his will to keep going. The humanity of this galaxy is millennia older than that of Earth. With three central star systems called the inner corporate ring made out of Aqua the cradle of humanity in this world, Ares the most advanced star system and Hades the most resource rich. It was peaceful the era before the fall of the corporate inner ring, a paradise where the richest and most connected ruled but that peace didn’t last mostly because of a war they had thought profitable. Automating war might have been their greatest mistake. “In retrospect we should have stopped after the first billion synths.” - Board member of Cosmos-Z Industries.

Wisps of Humanity

Nine billion souls. Every species on Earth. One final, desperate Hail Mary. For three decades, an AI has tried to engineer a peaceful coexistence between humanity and Earth after preventing a human-caused extinction level event. Put into stasis, humans have all been living in a simulation. Every single test failed, poisoned by human greed, class warfare, and systemic exploitation. Now, the AI is pulling the plug, locking each of the remaining population into an interspecies territorial death game. Clark didn't ask to be drafted into the swarm, but it was another Monday morning to him. He had just finished his internship, only to find himself trapped inside a supermega world in a cyberpunk insect hive where basic survival requires mindless work and resisting mind-control broadcasts. He realizes quickly that the only way out is up, but three queen bees with some very human tendencies stand in his way to get to the top. To keep himself from becoming a plaything or worse, Clark needs to use all three of his now-separated brains to survive. After finding Aria, a reserve queen forced to work as a regular worker, and her two dysfunctional sisters, together they must build a plan in secret, and collect more allies. They have three months before the first Territorial Expansion of their shard happens, and they need to take down the three queens before the time runs out!  Welcome to the hive. Try not to die on your first coffee break. {P.S. There is no sex described or anything like that. All scenes fade to black. Also, Art of cover was done with Midjourney because I am poor. If the book does good, I will pay for a cover.} In this book, you will find: 1. BEES! Bees and honey are a huge theme in this book, so there will be tons of fantasy varieties made from plants from earth, modified versions, and a few fantasy ones! 2. Animal accurate traits converted into human-sized interactions. This will lead to some very strange things!(Not all will be perfect, but I will do my best) 3. Swearing. There is a bit of cursing, but I try not to drown the book in it. 4. All kinds of humor in the book, but mostly cynical. 5. Harem. Yes there will be a harem, but it is very slowly and naturally built, but more like Release That Witch, where he only has one romantic relationship. 6. Grimdark. While there is a lot of humor, the book still has death and misery, but anything uncomfortable is glossed over. Humans are like the shades of colors in rainbows, and not all are bright. 7. System Menus. There are some, but I don’t use stat pages, and try to use them sparingly or gloss over things that aren’t important and just explain quickly in narration. My system is a bit different than most, but similar in the ways that count. 8. Pop-Culture YOU TO DEATH! Lol, I love pop-culture! So, unlike my book, Epic of Bees, you won’t find many puns, but there will be a ton of references to pop-culture, mythology, Canadian terms, and real world stuff! 9. Romance. There will be some romance, and emotional scene through character building of each of the character since the are all so dysfunctional.  10. Fighting vs Negotiating. There will be lots fighting, epic battles, and wars, but it is very slow at first. Most of the first book is building a team to get ready to challenge the queens, so expect a lot of interaction and world building at the start.

Arachnoextinction

On an uncharted island in the middle of the Pacific, Dr. Ivory Gale arrives for a routine inspection of a secret United States government cloning facility. His mission is to verify progress on a project to resurrect the woolly mammoth. Simple job. In and out. What could possibly go wrong? Everything. Literally everything. Dr. Kale, head scientist at the cloning facility and certified lunatic, has been keeping secrets from the United States government. Not the kind of secrets they can all giggle about later. These are the kind of secrets that awaken a long-extinct and highly murderous monstrous spider species. Armed with a gun he doesn't know how to use, a crippling case of arachnophobia, and the help of a ragtag group of survivors (including one who definitely wants to kill them all to protect the government's secrets), Dr. Gale must find a way to escape the facility before nightfall. Because once the sun goes down, the giant spiders come out to hunt. All of them. Welcome to Arachnoextinction.

THE FIRST CRADLE - BOOK ONE OF THE IRON CRADLE SAGA

The Sun is dying, and there's no saving this world. Engineering grad student Gavin Daniels volunteers for experimental brain emulation technology--humanity's last chance to gain centuries of research time while only days pass on Earth. But the untested cradle connects him to something ancient: a galaxy-spanning competition called the Ascendancy, where Earth's survival is the prize. The rules are brutal. Earth is unrecognized, unprotected, and legally open for conquest. Win, and the planet gains galactic protection. Every victory captures alien technology to fuel humanity's desperate evacuation. Lose, and everything is forfeit. In a genre built on solo heroes grinding for power, Gavin and Earth's champions choose a different path: reincarnating the souls of Earth's dead as spirit-born warriors, building armies instead of going it alone, forging alliances with alien species, and refusing to treat war as a game. But those overseeing the Ascendancy aren't safeguarding peace--they're filtering threats. Culling potential rivals before they can rise. Can Earth's champions survive alien dinosaurs, and a universe that seems to want to crush them? Our only allies, a race that died on Earth before humanity ever took its first steps...

The Runic Protocol

In a galaxy where high-tech colonization meets the primal forces of the void, survival is a matter of frequency. S-17 was born in the silence of a deep-space laboratory, a "vessel" forged through the cruel Evolution Adaptation experiments of the sinister Dr. Thorne. Augmented with reinforced bone density and a mind capable of processing infinite data, he was designed to be the ultimate survivor. But when he is discarded onto the surface of Xylos, he discovers a power the scientists could never replicate. Xylos is a world saturated with Aether—a primal, raw energy that flows through the air, the beasts, and the planet’s crystalline core. While most require years of grueling discipline to learn Vibration—the rare ability to sense and influence the Aether—S-17 perceives it instinctively as "ripples" in the world around him.

The Doomsday Trials had one purpose: forge the ultimate warrior with the ultimate progression system. Not one place, not one time. All of time, to fight across every age of man, from the brutal stone age to a future of demonic hordes and twenty foot mechs. But the plan failed. No-one advanced.
