Blood & Fur

Maxime J. Durand, Void Herald

C45/100
Each year, the Nightlords choose a new Emperor to rule Yohuachanca — a life of delicious food, beautiful company, and priestly counsel. It is good, luxurious, and short. At the year's end, the emperor is sacrificed under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is the piss-poor orphan chosen to be this year's emperor. But the Nightlords have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer, whose soul journeys into the underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good.

Monster Tamer

Isaac Hooke

D43/100
Malem is a Breaker — someone who can impose his will over the minds of beasts, bending them to his command.

The Court of Souls?

Andur

D43/100
In a world of myths, gods, and demons, only power counts — the weak are worse than cattle, and survival of the fittest is the only law. A lonely child is born with a strange power that places him between light and darkness, shunned by his own people for what he can do. This is not a story of a noble man doing good amid monsters. It is a story of a demon who was, perhaps, kinder than the rest.

After the Final Chapter

GoldSphere

D41/100
Daniel spent a decade writing a single fantasy novel — the saga of Artorias Grifantes, the legendary mage who sealed himself away with an immortal evil to save the world. He finished the final chapter. Then he died face-down on his keyboard. He wakes up in a crystal chamber a thousand years after his ending, inside his hero's body. His protagonist has become a religious figure, his allies legends, and his hero's baby sister is long dead — though her descendants remain, including a blind little girl who needs a hand. The elf he wrote into a doomed romance is still out there, waiting. Daniel inherits the greatest mind on the continent, but with it come memories and emotions he never expected. And the seeds he planted for a sequel are still out there, worse than anything his hero ever faced. Instead of writing it, he will have to live it.

The Saga of Keres

Lucian T. Einar

D40/100
1897. As the world teeters on the edge of war, Volundr — Ambassador of the Society of Nations — assembles a diverse group of individuals with extraordinary abilities.

Cursed and desperate for answers, they agree to assist Volundr in exchange for his teachings on thaumaturgy and alchemy. Their first mission takes them to the Unseen City, under the threat of a devastating terrorist attack — where the most powerful thaumaturgist the world has ever seen has plans of her own. An alternate-historical fantasy set in the late 1890s, where magic clashes with science, kaiju roam the earth, and an unlikely band of heroes must confront forces both seen and unseen.

When Seria ventures out as their representative to make first contact with neighboring realms, she receives a fireball to the face.

Every spell meant to cause mayhem goes comically wrong. When his family finally loses patience, Ayden is given one chance to prove himself worthy of the sorcerer name: defeat the greatest wizard in all the lands.

A painful, impossible transformation leaves him in a body he doesn't know how to use. An ancient evil stirs, strange storms leave terrors in their wake, and the natives believe he has the power to save them — but he wants nothing to do with their prophecies.

The Air Nomads have thirty-six tiers of airbending. Every monk considers fighting back beneath them. Sonam is building the thirty-seventh tier, convinced that pacifism is a death sentence for everyone he knows — even if the order would rather exile him than learn it.

The Dragon of Dreams

Commander843

D34/100
A young man is reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially driven by questions about his own reincarnation, he becomes lost in the endless world of magic — using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana, then using mana to expand his understanding of science in return. Though strength was never his goal, his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the circumstances of his existence propel him up the mountain of power as though it were a small hill — until he climbs to a point where he seems to be the peak itself. Even if that was never the case.
