An elderly hermit mage on the outskirts of a labyrinth town invokes simple spellwork to create a mud automaton for household chores — but in the middle of the ritual, his ancient heart finally fails. Now, half-formed and with limited understanding of the world, an artificial being of mud stirs to life.
Despite its limitations, it has a mission to fulfill: the last instructions of a dying creator. "Defend my home, and my possessions." To the mechanical mind of Mud, only absolute perfection is acceptable. Nothing in the universe will ever threaten The Master's home.

The world ended. The Apocalypse opened the gates of Hell, demons killed everyone — including me. But I got a second chance at life. As an apple.
Which was eaten by a starving survivor, not that I fault them. But to toss my half-eaten core into a landfill? Then an earthquake buried the landfill a mile underground. No sunlight, no water, and I'm pretty sure the apple I was reincarnated into was a GMO hybrid with no real chance of germinating.
Then: **DING** — SYSTEM INITIATION!
A Worm/Pokemon crossover. A second-chance story about becoming the best there ever was — again — with all the chaos, cute companions, and unexpected consequences that entails.

Book 2 — The Fifth Stage: With his hometown behind him, catastrophe on the horizon, and the dangers of adolescence hounding every step, Will has hard truths to confront if he is going to survive long enough for his ambitions to matter.

Every century, the MALswarm invades — adaptive aliens of blood and steel led by Titans that decimate billions and leave behind raw Warp Energy. Humanity seizes this power, transforming into beings of mutated flesh and cybernetic might. Yet the promised utopia remains a lie, and New California's underworld schemes to profit from the impending Fifth Swarm.
Two destinies collide amidst the chaos. Ripley — a cybernetics savant battling to save his dying mother — operates in the shadows of a gang-owned nightclub. Diana, engineered for perfection, fights as an officer of the law to forget her past. When a monster is unleashed, they steal its infinite potential to warp their futures.
In a city where salvation and damnation are inseparable, Ripley reinvents himself from the wreckage of his enemies' cybernetics as a mercenary, while Diana's mutated blood crackles with lightning as she purges corruption. Against a grand conspiracy of aliens, rogue AIs, shady corporations, and organized crime, their alliance — and conflict — determines if the world will plunge into darkness or embrace the light.
Hans had a realization that changed the direction of his adventuring career: "above average" is different from "great." At 39, with a litany of lingering injuries, he accepted that he would never progress from Gold-ranked to Diamond-ranked. With his prime behind him and disillusioned by guild politics, he accepts a guild master posting in a remote village — an insignificant position no one else wanted.
Looking forward to a quiet life of teaching, Hans arrives in the small town of Gomi at the foot of the Dead End Mountains. As he rebuilds the local chapter of the Adventurers' Guild, his unconventional teaching methods earn him allies and enemies alike, while his career failures find ways to resurface.
A slice-of-life fantasy exploring life post-adventuring and the challenge of reconciling dreams with reality.
Miles has one obsession in life: magic. He lives it, breathes it, and dedicates every waking hour to it — but the same obsession wears down his body. At the peak of his power, he chooses to rest in artifact-enhanced sleep, planning for it to last months. It extends to centuries.
Miles wakes to an entirely new world: one where magic has become structured and rigid, where mages have traded future potential for an interface — an easier, safer path for novices. The magic Miles knows has slid into legend.
Someone has worked to weaken the world, and they have succeeded. But Miles still lives, and he can do everything this new era calls a myth — and much, much more.
Scott and his little sister Alice are stranded alone on a forest planet, struggling to survive in primitive conditions using only the training he gained studying to be an explorer — building a home with nothing but their wits and what they can find in the wild.
What's worse, a huge, menacing spider-creature seems to be following them wherever they go.
From the spider's perspective, she has crash-landed on a primitive world and found two odd mammalian tool-users. Perhaps they hold the secret to her survival. For now, she will observe — and maybe protect — these two strange creatures as she tries to understand their ways.
Dying and being reborn in a fantasy world as a hero destined to kill the Demon King is some people's greatest dream. Others, however, may prefer to sit around, relax, take a few naps, and ignore the impending doom.
And if such a hero gets reborn as a cat, what's going to stop them from doing exactly that? Finding a warm tavern home filled with food, gossip, and comfort sounds a whole lot easier than putting in the work to stop a war.
Seventeen-year-old Ren Haddon hasn't had an easy life. His drug addict parents used him as a lab rat and left him almost crippled for life. After they were caught, he went on to spend his life in the hospital — under constant care, the white walls of his room were all he knew.
That changed the day his name was drawn from millions of others to receive a one-of-a-kind class in the new virtual world game called F.L.O.W. — Fantasy Life Online World. These are his adventures.
Sable didn't know what she'd expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard wasn't it. Thrust into a magic-filled fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, things aren't entirely great: there are hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal undead legion to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms that want the first dragon in centuries dead.
What's more, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats make her stronger the more gold she has and the more people fear her — which explains why dragons in the past were such unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less evil ways to progress. What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be?

A comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Mostly it is about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, haggling with the squash seller, or taking care of a neglected garden. It is putting some jam on shortbread biscuits.
And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, kill monsters, and disarm traps — but when you come out, you find the perfect magic item to give to a local kid who helped you out when your cat was sick. You will have rivalries with other groups, find some dungeon eggs that need careful incubation, and help a friend build a fishing weir.
There is a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic and even more to do and see.
Why survive the apocalypse when you can become the apocalypse? Nature is dying, but perhaps before the world is turned into an industrious machine it can play one final trump card to save itself.
Summoned to a new world, a mushroom-loving mycologist needs to grow up and grow stronger to accomplish the goal that brought them there: save nature from the system the sentient races have created. Stats, levels, classes, and skills are all well and good — but when you're a Child of Poverty in the slums of City Nineteen, there's little you can do to change the world. Not unless you're willing to think outside the box.
The universe is dying, and humanity has a backup plan: colonize a world that defies all logic. Vin went from dirt-poor vagabond to one of humanity's first colonists in the blink of an eye — and when given the chance to choose a class, he just can't resist becoming an Explorer.
In a patchwork world of impossible magic, deadly monsters, and powerful artifacts, it's Vin's job to go out and discover the rules of this new world they need to survive on. If only the System wasn't already threatening to kill him.

Everyone is obsessed with Neon Dragons — the latest highly immersive cyberpunk aRPG from Sparksoft. But when our late-twenties protagonist's PC broke days before the game's release, all she could do was watch content creators play through it, limiting her knowledge to what she saw in those playthroughs.
Things change drastically when she wakes up inside the body of a 15-year-old girl inside the city of Neo Avalis, six years into the game's past. She can level herself just like a character in the game, and with everything she's read and watched about Neon Dragons, she sets her sights on solving the mystery of the enigmatic Wall at the edge of the play-area.
But she quickly realizes that this game is very real — life in a cyberpunk future is full of danger and intrigue, and the world has some surprising differences from the game she watched.
Critical Roleplay: I Min-Maxed For Endgame, Not Flavor

B63/100
Vera spent years climbing to the top of Ashen Legacy, a punishing MMO where every stat point mattered. She min-maxed her build, crushed endgame content, and became one of the highest-level players around. Then she woke up inside the game — in the body of her character.
Everything works: the magic, the gear, the absurd power level. Unfortunately, so does the backstory — including the kid she gave herself for emotional flavor and half-baked roleplay she barely remembers writing.
Now she must navigate a world shaped by her own exploits: divine ruins she helped demolish, cults whose gods she may have deleted, and a continent teetering on the edge of an expansion she never cleared. Being overpowered is easy. Being responsible? That's the real raid boss.
When an aimless guy dies making a noble sacrifice, he is given a chance to live life better in a new world. Due to some godly negligence and terrible luck, however, his arrival does not go as planned. Having acquired overwhelming power, he has to confront a familiar question: how should I live my life?
Indigo woke up in a body she didn't recognize, in a world she didn't know, without memories or even a name to define herself. Follow her life as she discovers that not everything happens for a reason, not all bad guys are out to conquer the world, and being powerful doesn't automatically make life easy. Follow her adventures as she gets drunk with orcs, raids ruins for lost treasure, and chops the heads off hordes of zombies — doing her best not to kill everyone around her.
