Ace of Capes

kayday

C57/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

Starblood

Roman Prokofiev, Sofia Shcherbakova

C56/100
When the ark began emergency jettisoning colonists, one got unlucky three times: his capsule was shot down above a forbidden Circle, crashed next to the White Devil's tomb, and he climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune — but had he left it alone, he might have remained a normal person. Now someone with a Slate, Attributes, and Runes isn't a typical colonist from Earth in a world that's far from ordinary — especially when he has a voice in his head. A spinoff set in the same universe as Project Stellar, Starblood follows those who escaped Earth's catastrophe into deep space.

That Which Devours

jerpatch

C56/100
Alex thought a colony ship crashing into a dinosaur-infested jungle was bad enough. Everyone else received a class from the mysterious System ruling this brutal universe — but Alex's Class Selection never arrives. To top it off, a meteor shower forces down the supply shuttle, leaving her and her brother stranded with food running out. Just when all hope seems lost, it finally happens: Class Selection. And with it, a Legendary Class: Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so ravenous — making her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal? Alex embarks on a perilous trek through the wilderness to reach the compound for supplies. As the dinosaurs close in with her brother's life hanging in the balance, she must master abilities she barely understands or succumb to a world that feeds on the weak.

Life in Exile

Sean Oswald

Dave has been wandering through life for a long time — bored by his day job and unable to meet his family's expectations. His only escape is his love of MMORPGs.

Now Dave must balance protecting his family with exploring his dream, all while trying to stay alive. Monstrous beasts roam Eloria, and worst of all, an undead army is led by a vile Death Knight. He'll have to adapt fast and learn to cooperate if he hopes to make a new home for his family — and find out why they're living a life in exile.

The Secrets of Giantskarl Mountain

Andrew Karevik

C55/100
Artemis has inherited his father's adventuring shop at the base of Giantskarl mountain, home to a vast and mysterious dungeon. Where his father was content selling trinkets for a pittance, Artemis wants to build a merchant empire — using his skills as a Runesmith to inscribe enchantments onto items and command higher prices. The problem: his shelves are empty, and he needs a magical bone to fashion his scrive. The only place to find one is the dungeon — the same death trap no one in the village dares enter. The life of a shopkeeper was never going to be peaceful.

The Matter Destructor

Lucian Cross

C53/100
Hunter Graves was quiet, unreadable — a data analyst with a poker face and a life built on routine. But when a storm of lightning ripped his world apart, Hunter and everyone he knew were thrown into the Multiversal System, a brutal trial of survival where humanity was nothing more than raw material to be tested. Accepting the class of a healer, Hunter should have been relegated to the backline. Instead, his cold pragmatism and honed martial skill make him something far more dangerous — a fighter who refuses to die by the rules others set for him. Level by level, kill by kill, he grows sharper and faster while quietly unraveling the secrets of his skills and the unseen powers who watch from above.

The Heart Grows

Damaged

C52/100
Waking up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about would be bad enough. Doing it with only one chance to get things right makes it worse. The dungeon's new controller must figure out how to manage his growing domain while grappling with a disturbing power: his dungeon acquires minions by transforming sapient beings, leaving them mentally bound to his will. He does his best not to abuse that power — but the story explores what it means for both him and those who find themselves changed, in mind and body, by their new place in his dungeon.

World of the Changed

Vasily Mahanenko

C51/100
World of the Changed swept across humanity like nothing before — a mobile game with flawless graphics, an intuitive interface, and a viral marketing campaign that had millions waiting for Hour X. Nobody understood the price the game would demand. Mark Derwin, a student, was just another eager fan. What he found when the release hit was a world transformed: humanity split between monsters hungry to kill and players scrambling to survive, with a game owner who will not tolerate anyone advancing too far.

Bradford Bates, Michael Anderle

C51/100
Tim was always a planner — college, graduate, well-paying job. That plan was coming together until he saw a presentation at his graduation ceremony offering him a chance to get paid to play a virtual world called The Etheric Coast. He could spend his life in a cubicle and a one-bedroom apartment, or he could take a leap of faith into a world of unlimited possibilities. Now he just has to figure out how to get the job of his dreams, help his parents financially, and catch the attention of the girl of his dreams. Tim sure hoped the wave he was about to catch didn't kill him first.
