Dragon Core: The Dragon-Girl Evolution & Princess-Collecting Dungeon Core Isekai

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C54/100
Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

The Matter Destructor

Lucian Cross

C54/100
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.

Dark Paladin

Vasily Mahanenko

C54/100
Surviving in a game world is easy — until the game is your real life, your enemies want you dead, and your own class couldn't care less about your survival. Paladin Yaropolk must navigate a world where pragmatism and personal gain are the only currencies that matter, wrestling with whether to become like everyone else or hold onto something more.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C54/100
Nero has been transported to a world built on fantasy instead of physics — a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation, with competent administration and opinions based on rational argument. He's not prepared for any of it. While the world is big and full of characters, Nero would mostly prefer to ignore what's going on around him and focus on learning magic. Allies will assist him and mentors will guide him, but the leveling system he keeps trying to avoid turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. A slow-burn story following an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold, forced to grow up by circumstance and the people around him.

Chimera

Michael Dale

C53/100
A chimera slowly regains memories of its past life as a human in a nonmagical world. He is in part James Borland — temp office worker on the verge of going permanent — but he is also a savage beast that grows stronger by consuming the flesh of other creatures. The more he remembers, the greater the influence his old human persona has on his actions, often clashing with the beast's instinct to consume prey and become stronger.

Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune

Tismon

C53/100
Walter's normal life is turned upside down when the human race is judged worthy of Ascension — granting powers beyond comprehension to those who complete Trials as an Aspirant. The Trials are run by otherworldly abominations who view humanity as little more than amusing playthings. Walter has been chosen by the Absolute Luck System and has infiltrated the Trials as a Lord Arbiter. The problem: he must now balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and he's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is. Navigating this double life with wit, smarts, and a little luck, Walter must survive long enough to become an Unwilling Eldritch Horror of Fortune.

The Twelve Apocalypses: A Damned Soul's Path to the Abyss

AT Valentine

C53/100
Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, there's no appealing the decision. Around him, demons are excited and ready — for them, the invasion of Berlis, a classic sword-and-sorcery realm, promises a feast of souls and new growth. Hayden's human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, cannon fodder meant to die first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he discovers he was born for the madness.

Godslayers

Trollmore

C53/100
In ancient times, the Eifni Organization reached heaven through violence and tore gods from their thrones. Now their methods are more precise: etheric technology measures love, creates beauty, and reincarnates the dead. By embedding specially trained operatives — godslayers — into a culture, they engineer the exact conditions needed to kill a god and save the souls it would otherwise devour. Lilith was a run-of-the-mill college atheist until a divine being took a bite out of her soul. Rescued by the Eifni Organization and trained as a godslayer, she is now deploying on her first real mission to a planet called Theria. Objective: reconnaissance on the local pantheon and clearing out as many gods as possible before the strike team arrives. There is just one problem — the Therians seem to know they are coming.

Doing God's Work

Skylark (Dion Sky)

C52/100
The gods are real and incorporated. Providence is a profitable global monopoly — but its chief executive is a corrupt authoritarian, the combined might of the divine powers ignores humanity's problems, and Helpdesk service is, frankly, terrible. In this corporate fantasy, it's up to history's most maligned immortals to step up and sort things out.

Until death? (Old Version)

Andur

C52/100
Ever been a god? The protagonist was — until death and a divine tribunal sent him packing. Apparently the other gods took issue with his faith being the only true one, and the Apocalypse (admittedly his fault, if unintentional) did not help his case. Now condemned to a "vacation" as punishment, he must navigate existence in a new form in a world far removed from his former divine station.

Reborn as a Dark Lord

Timothy W. Long

C52/100
Vincent Logan's day couldn't get any worse: fired from his corporate job, nearly dying of a heart attack, and then suddenly thrust into the body of the recently defeated Dark Lord Morthisal. Trapped in a fantasy world with powers he can barely control and a reputation that precedes him in all the wrong ways, Vince has to navigate a post-war kingdom that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Armed with nothing but his wits, a few magical artifacts, and an insatiable craving for chicken wings, Vince sets out to open the most unlikely business venture for a former evil overlord: a tavern.

Roadtrip - Madness Re-Incarnate #2

Travis Bagwell

C52/100
Nyx was born Hollow — an empty vessel in a world of spirits, a condition that should have meant death. Somehow he survived, driven by stubbornness and a touch of madness. In a previous life, he did something reckless: he sent himself his own memories, throwing them into the Flow from which all spirits return. Now those memories have found him, raising questions he can't stop asking — was reincarnation real, would his half-baked plan actually work, and could his life possibly get any worse? It could.

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)

Andur

C52/100
Ever been a god? Well, the protagonist was — until he died and got judged by the other gods. Apparently they didn't like the whole "my faith is the only true one" idea. And for the record: the Apocalypse wasn't intentional. For punishment, he gets sent on what he hopes is a vacation. A rewrite of the original story, featuring improved grammar, filled plot holes, and a lighter comedic tone following a fallen deity navigating a new existence.

Overpowered Murderhobo

Solomon Abraham

C51/100
Elliott Carpenter was murdered once. He never found out who. He never found out why. But he made sure it would never happen again. Over the next century, he became the most powerful being on Earth — untouchable, unkillable. That did not go unnoticed. When a dimensional barrier sealing Earth is broken, Elliott and his companions are dragged to another world by someone who knows exactly who he is — someone who may finally have the answers he's been seeking since the day he died. With his trusted murder-maid, his adorable murder-doll, and a reluctant young mage who came to kill him and is rapidly regretting it, Elliott sets out to find whoever summoned him — conquering countries and capturing gods along the way.

After the End: Serenity

Lillene

C51/100
At the end of everything, the Final Reaper won — but it was a hollow victory. Having killed everyone who wronged him or his people, he was left utterly alone. When Order's Voice offered a chance to reset the multiverse to an earlier time in exchange for most of his power, the choice was easy: start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. Landing in his old body, the Final Reaper becomes Thomas again — and chooses a new name for a new life: Serenity. He has ten years from the moment the Voice arrives to prevent Earth from losing the second round, as it did before. It will require a group effort, which is difficult for someone who has been alone for longer than he can reckon. A system apocalypse story designed so that a large percentage of humanity can survive and prosper — if they work together.

Under their dominion mankind flourished, though the war in the shadows never ended. A thousand years later, sixteen-year-old Leones' family is executed for the crime of heresy — burned to death for questioning whether the Archon of Flames is truly divine.

Cultivator Andy

Walker Miles

C51/100
Wake up. Mine crystals. Don't die. That's the job, and Andy doesn't remember ever having a different one. The guards have guns. The other workers have agendas. The tunnels have monsters that shouldn't exist. On his first shift, surrounded by men who've already made their peace with the dark, he decides he won't be one of them. Then he finds the cavern — crystals bigger than anything on the work floor, whispering secrets the guards would kill to keep buried. It's a path to power, maybe a path out. But he'll have to hide it from everyone until he's strong enough to stop hiding. No one leaves the mine alive. Andy intends to be the first.
