Vae Victis

Ivan Kal

RavensDagger

Bizmatech

B62/100
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.

Sentenced to Troll

S.L. Rowland

B62/100
Punished for his toxic online behavior, Chad faces a thirty-day sentence of full-immersion therapy designed to improve his anger issues. For his endless trolling, he's forced to play as a forest troll — the most hated race in Isle of Mythos — so that he can finally experience what it's like to be on the other side. To make matters worse, the heroes sent to rid the world of evil aren't heroes at all: they're violent felons on their own twisted paths to redemption. Playing as a monster in a world where it ain't easy being green, what could possibly go wrong?

Theseus

Sigil of the Void

B62/100
Meryll Watkins is a corporate IT consultant on her way home to Titan after an exhausting business trip on Mars. After a run-in with security, she's ready to spend the first wing of the flight getting some well-earned sleep. When she wakes up, she finds herself floating in an empty void with several new cybernetic implants jutting from her skin — and when she closes her eyes, she can see a dizzying display of data and machinery. She has somehow ended up inside an unfamiliar starship, acting as its living central processor. Coaxing the ragtag crew to release her back into the physical world, she discovers she's been unintentionally recruited by a band of pirates who mistook her for a human-like ship core. What follows is an exploration of her bizarre new existence, the day-to-day life of a space outlaw, a grand conspiracy, and the importance of an imperfect found family.

Of Men and Spiders

DrBlackJack21

B61/100
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.

Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

TSeris

B61/100
"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work?" Axiom of Infinity follows several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives in a world where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, dungeons lurk everywhere, and the gods themselves appear to be playing a very different game — one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by a third, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations. The unsuspecting natives of this world are about to learn to live alongside a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet-wielding gamers who do what they do best: break things.

Realm of Monsters

Frostbird

B61/100
In a land ruled by vile monsters, where death is common and life is cruel, one outcast aspires to have it all. When misfortune drags the odd goblin Stryg from his forest home into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade, he must adapt to a world that only sees him as a dimwit savage. Stryg finds himself embroiled in a school of magic where an aristocrat's smile hides deceit and the simplest remark may lead to death threats. Yet nothing will stop him from pursuing his ideals of glory: power, honor, and food with salt. As he navigates the muddled grey waters of the Ebon Realm, he will learn that some monsters lurk everywhere.

Law of Shadows

Andur

B61/100
Mercenaries are causing trouble in the city — hunting someone, whatever the cost. It's not that the demon lord particularly cares about the lowly humans who died, but letting it slide would set a bad example. The hero would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming. The demon lord has a simpler solution. They aren't calling him the demon lord for nothing.

A Snake's Life

Kenneth Arant

B61/100
A loving father of three, Albert lived a life of few regrets — he served his country far from home, outlived his soulmate, and died alone. His assumptions about a peaceful eternity reunited with his wife are thrown out the window when a meddling god intervenes. The positive: he'll have a chance to see her again. The negative: he has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next three hundred years, reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy elves, and untold hidden dangers. If life taught Albert anything, it's that if something is worth having, it's worth fighting for.

Ashlani's Reincarnation

No_Creative_Name

B60/100
As a soon-to-be chieftain, Ashlani's responsibilities were numerous, complex, and often boring. But as a recently reincarnated keelish — a reptilian pest — his responsibilities narrow to three: survive another day, keep his belly full, and kill anything that interferes with the first two. And, if the opportunity arises, take revenge on his best friend turned murderer. Ashlani was shot in the back by the man he was closest to during his inaugural hunt as chieftain-to-be. Post-mortem, he was greeted by a [System] and named the elect, singular keelish representative. Now his focus must be on continuous growth and evolution — to awaken to his grand potential and lead his new people into a new age.
