Vae Victis

Ivan Kal

B63/100
When alternate Earth is subsumed into a new reality comprising many worlds, Marianna Rojas — a young vampire who was sold to a cartel as a child — is chosen as one of thirty Exemplars to experience the new world ahead of everyone else. Accompanied by a tiny dragon named Saia, Marianna works to master the mysterious Mask and the skills it unlocks. She has one month to explore this strange new realm before she's sent back to a freshly integrated Earth to help with its transition — and every faction there seems to want her blood.

Burning Stars, Falling Skies

Cocop (Cale Plamann)

B63/100
Threedak is a simple Dhajtel. Every night she scavenges and hunts for her tribe in the great desert, relying on skill and ancestral memories to avoid the darkness's many dangers. Her life remains largely the same until one night, one of the gleaming lights in the sky falls into her desert. Deciding to investigate, she happens upon a scene far beyond her limited understanding. The Dhajtel aren't alone. The galaxy is far vaster and more hostile than her people can even begin to comprehend. Entrusted with the knowledge and memories of a dead race, it will be up to Threedak to forge Dhajtel society into something that can survive the storm to come.

The Demonologues

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.

RavensDagger

B62/100
To enter Five Peaks Magical Academy you must have a familiar. Abigail hoped for a bird, maybe an owl like her best friend's, or a cuddly cat or loyal hound. She would have been happy with a particularly smart toad, even. Instead she got you.

Deluge: hydras can be adventurers too

tenfingers

B62/100
In the swamp, the rules are simple: you eat them, or they eat you. Nothing's ever that simple when humans get involved. They feed you weird potions, teach you ridiculous commands, and make you fight pointless fights with totally unfair enemies. After years of non-consensual experimentation and a dark ritual involving goat's blood, the System reclassified Deluge as sentient. A nice title, but not something you can eat. Now, armed with heightened intelligence and slowly accumulating knowledge, Deluge expected the world to finally make sense. It doesn't. The more he learns, the more absurd it gets: civilization, laws, status, guilds, oaths — all random nonsense. There's only one system Deluge respects, and that's the System. System gives you levels. System gives you power.

A dark-type specialist Pokemon self-insert fic. As a Poochyena in Vinewood Town, survival means building bonds and forging friendships — though no one would recommend doing that with a Dark type. After all, they're nearly as bad as Ghosts.

Literal Folly

B62/100
It is 2054 and unemployment is at an all-time high. In the era of the quantum computer, autonomous systems have taken over as the backbone of the workforce. Justin, twenty years old and unemployed, has nothing holding him back — so when his government stipend covers the cost, he signs up to play Imagitech's brand new full-immersion virtual reality game: A Time of Heroes.

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?

Marked as an Eternal — a fledgling immortal of boundless potential — Maulkin soon discovers he's been given a mission by the elder pantheon of this new realm: grow stronger, ascend to godhood, and spread chaos in their name.

The Drake of Craumont

Origami Narwhal

B62/100
Ivy Crawford has done her best to put Craumont, and her past, behind her. She'd much rather live life as a Delver — exploring rifts in the world, battling monsters with claws and magic in equal measure. But the past has come calling, and Ivy finds herself back in the city she once called home. Ivy has changed since she left, with scales, claws, and a tail earned from years of magic and Delving. Craumont has changed too: new shadows cling to familiar buildings, and old mysteries have only deepened. Something has sunk its claws deep into the city, and just won't let go. If Craumont is to survive, Ivy has no choice but to slowly unravel the darkness over her old home.

Theseus

Sigil of the Void

B61/100
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Afterlife 2.0

QuickDuckling

B60/100
The gods have scrapped eternal torment in favor of something new: Eternia, a brutal, glitch-riddled wilderness where fresh souls are dumped with little hope of survival. Fail here, and it's back to classic hell as a consolation prize. Enter Ellie, who dies just in time to beta-test the gods' twisted new system. Utterly unprepared, she's tossed into a world where everything seems out to kill her — or glitch out before she can figure out what it's supposed to do. Armed with nothing but her wits and a reluctant sense of humour, Ellie must navigate hostile terrain, outwit aggressive wildlife, and find some purpose in this cosmic mess. In a world designed for divine entertainment where the rules are still being written, anything could — and probably will — happen.
