The Viridian Gate Online Universe is a collection of thirteen spin-off novels set in the same virtual game world as the main Viridian Gate Archives. These books feature different characters exploring other parts of the VGO setting, beginning with The Artificer (2017).

The collection includes entries from several sub-series. The Alchemic Weaponeer books (Vindication, Absolution, Insurrection) follow a crafter character, while The Firebrand entries (Firebrand, Embers of Rebellion, Path of the Blood Phoenix) focus on fire magic. Other standalone entries like Nomad Soul, Dead Man’s Tide, and Inquisitor’s Foil expand the world in different directions. The most recent additions, Sharper’s Coin and Gentleman’s War (both 2022), continue to grow the setting.
