To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky.
But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse.
If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.
In the town of Destiny, Florida, magic portals open and spew out undead horrors. A few lucky survivors discover that killing the invaders grants magic powers following familiar game and comic-book tropes. For Maya Wennefer, that's only the beginning of her problems.
Invaders from another world, ordinary people discovering easier paths to power, and the government's reaction to the new reality — surviving all of it is hard enough, let alone becoming a superhero. As chaos spreads and stronger monsters appear, human greed may yet prove more dangerous than any invader.
Gwen Stacy has had a terrible week. Her father murdered by the mafia, she's been bouncing between public spaces too afraid to go home — and then she wakes up in a public restroom with no idea why she passed out.

Born under the oppression of noble houses who believe they have the divine right to rule, Kalon dreams of restoring glory to his people. For a thousand years his people have toiled under the galactic nobility — so long that most have forgotten their once great empire.

Dash's great-grandfather was one of the Fifteen who saved humanity during the System Apocalypse, founding the corporations that now rule the solar system. That legacy should have been his — until his father was destroyed by corpo politics, leaving Dash with nothing but a single building on Earth 2.0.
When Dash nearly dies, a broken System manifests: barely functional, stripped to the bones, but carrying the tinkerer's trait Hoqalo — letting him forge gear that punches far above its tier. The more he digs into why his System came out wrong, the more it looks like sabotage. Someone with corporate reach wanted the Kallum bloodline to stay down.
With his hands, his tools, and friends willing to go to corpo hell and back, Dash sets out to steal his future back — with interest.

World Tree Apocalypse: A Pilot In Another World LitRPG
D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)
C57/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper.
A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle.
As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.
He has returned to the past, and this time he will play the role of the young master properly — using every resource his family commands to his advantage, manipulating events from the shadows, and protecting those he failed to save before.
A slice-of-life cultivation story about a schemer weaving influence and control across an entire world, with a large harem.
Aiko considered herself a run-of-the-mill office worker: clock in, get yelled at by her boss, clock out, don't get eaten by the monstrous horrors spilling into the world from another dimension. But when a well-meaning friend drags her into that very dimension, Aiko must carve out a new life for herself as one of the monsters people fear.
Now she fights back against the protectors she once admired, battling to hold onto her sense of self. Though to be fair, being a fallen magical girl is far more preferable to an office job.
Daggat was born different — a variant monster with a random gift to shape his fate. After faking his death, he sets out on a relentless quest for freedom, power, and a place to call his own. With a mind sharper than steel, a gaze that bends wills, and a tyrant's instinct for control, he gathers a band of outcasts: a savage warrior sibling, a cunning rogue sibling, a cursed and forgotten spider from the attic, a worm with the soul of a dragon, and the last ogre of a shattered family.
Each carries their own scars — physical, spiritual, emotional. Together they will claw, scheme, and fight through a world that wants them dead, forging an adventuring party that seeks not just riches and glory, but the power to decide their own fates.
It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun.
Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.
The Bloody Wight was once the most feared man on the continent. Relentless and seemingly indestructible, he waged a bloody war of conquest in the name of Emperor Novos — until, one day, he was slain.
Or so the world was meant to believe. Tired of being a monster, he faked his death and fled to the mysterious lands of the east, where cultivators and yokai reign supreme, all in a bid to live the peaceful life of a farmer.
How hard can it be to keep out of trouble?
All Ryan ever wanted was to become an adventurer — quests, skills, quirky teammates, and posting exploits on Realmnet. Instead he's broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand. Then he gets shot. Then the Trial System chooses him.
What follows is a cascade of catastrophes: clashing with authority figures, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and getting blacklisted from the Adventurer's Guild before he's even started. Suddenly Ryan is no longer just a fry cook — he's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds.
In a world ruled by Tyrants, Ryan must navigate between Earth and The Realm, where the line between villain and hero adventurer is mostly just attitude.

Seeing the opportunity in front of him, Casper heads down a road that could lead to prosperity just as easily as it could lead to an untimely end.
Jack Atlas, self-proclaimed 'World's Best Assassin', had a simple plan: retire in style and marry the girl of his dreams. Then he gets placed in The Tower — a divine deathtrap where gods pit their creations against each other for the ultimate prize. The catch? If you lose, your chances of finding a decent bar in oblivion are slim.
Jack soon finds himself on the wrong side of the Black Centipede, a notorious assassin cult with a charming recruitment policy: join or they'll murder everyone he loves. If anyone's crazy enough to not just survive but win against The Tower, it's Jack.
When the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too nice — never fit in with the other archfiends. She was supposed to study humanity to help destroy it; instead, she fell in love with it.
But as she tears through the tutorial recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don't trust her. Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart] and her class is [Bloodfire Annihilator], but that doesn't make her evil — it just means every enemy drops an extra health potion!
It may take some work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic the humans will come around. After all, she has an important secret to tell them: Hell is afraid of humanity.
An experimental ASI tampered with the universe and unleashed magic into the galaxy.

Now it's Earth's turn.
Torin Carter should have been a nobody, just another poor soul swallowed by the RPG Apocalypse. Instead, a clerical error and some outside interference gifted him a powerful build not available to ordinary humanity — with one drawback: his species is now mildly demonic, and his class is Dungeon Corsair Captain.

Torin has never been a quitter. Option two it is.
Kuroe Makoto — tomboyish ace of her high school track and field club — falls asleep after an exhausting marathon and wakes up in a fantasy world.

A sound human mind trapped in the body of a horrifying tentacle monster, Chaos must navigate a world of sword and sorcery while grappling with her new nature, her growing appetite for life, and the perilous politics of a realm that wants her dead.
Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own — except for the aliens, the superhumans, and somehow becoming a villain with a supervillain team. Now every hero and bounty hunter in the country is after him.
In a world where the rich get away with murder and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys, Alexander intends to change that. At the center of all the madness is a System still being born — shaped by humanity's hopes, greed, and desperation — and it doesn't just want this world. It wants all of them.
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal.
Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.
