1. Gene Harvest - Benny White had been having a rough couple of years, and the approaching apocalypse wasn’t exactly helping.
Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny’s odds weren’t looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch god… entity… thing named ‘Dave’ tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate.
But hey, it's not all bad news. Benny’s experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself. Bone claws, blood-bullet turrets, and maybe a skeletal hydra head or two are just a few of the additions to his gory arsenal.
Then there’s his Flesh Golem summon, a six-foot mound of muscle and sinew called Meat. That lumbering monstrosity might come in handy, just as soon as it stops walking into trees…
The stage has been set. The contestants have been chosen. The entire galaxy is watching.
Welcome to the Game of Souls, where the only prize is to survive.

2. Body Horror - Against all odds, former geneticist Benny White has survived the first Wave of the Game of Souls. But the rewards have come at a cost, and the games are far from over.
New enemies have been introduced with eyes set on those calling the Blackstone Keep home. Not only do the contestants have to struggle against the Arketh-Takshi—a group of intergalactic vampiric pirates residing within scattered portals—but also with private outworlder factions whose motivations are anything but clear.
Not to mention some threats that originate a little closer to home.
With the board stacked against him, and a target on his back, will Benny have the strength to pay the price of survival to become a powerful cultivator and a bulwark for his people? Or will the cost prove too high, leaving him nothing but a rampaging monster, devoid of humanity?
The stage has been reset. The contestants stand ready. The galaxy watches on.
Welcome back to the Game of Souls.
