Tal, The Risen

A. Stargazer

C58/100
Tal is one of the elite undead soldiers of the Zozheim empire, resurrected from the corpse of an uncounted sacrifice. He does not know the man's name. He does not care. The body is his now. They say Tal exists to serve — and so he drowns and murders and pillages in the empire's name. But one thing is becoming clear: he exists. And soon, that fact will terrify his creators and their enemies alike.

The Nine Tails of Alchemy

Taniko K Williams

C57/100
The year is 2375. With the world drained of natural resources, the government places those deemed of low economic value into cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to virtual worlds as digital citizens.

When she is horrified to receive a notice of digitalization, her life begins to fall apart. But as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled. A slice-of-life story following the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist, with a focus on alchemy and crafting.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game

Michael Dale

C57/100
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world's deepest dungeon — an immortal ancient dragon, and terribly bored. His only amusement comes from scrying on adventurer teams in the upper levels. When he hears of a new magic item called a Virmo that projects one's mind into a grand-scale game, he dispatches a minion to acquire one. He logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of "science" and "technology," and embarks on a new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class.

Goblin Teeth: A Monster Party LitRPG

JimQuill

C57/100
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.

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100
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.

Rise of Kers

Daniel Weber

C56/100
When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question — how is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together they delight in exploring his weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventurers to plumb his lofty heights. But other dungeons — each with their own unique resources and machinations — soon take an interest in Kers, and the Adventurers Guild does not take kindly to "irregular" dungeons.

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

The Dungeon Child

Angry Spider

C56/100
Argus was a dungeon — sprawling for miles beneath the cities of men — until an angry adventurer murdered him in revenge for the death of a companion. When he came to, he found himself reborn as a human being, complete with a nervous system, organs, and a brain. Worst of all, his precious System is gone and he actually has to grow up. How disgusting.

R.A. Mejia

C56/100
Given a second chance at life, he chose to return as a Metalman — a mechanical being named Repair. Now he must contend with a research lab of gnomes who claim he owes them for the resurrection, a city in the middle of a magical industrial revolution, and enemies who want him in pieces. Repair dives into dungeons to earn experience and gathers resources to solve his problems. If he doesn't grow more powerful, he won't just lose his freedom — he'll lose the life of his friend.

Kittypunk

RavensDagger

C56/100
She was the world's greatest assassin — a silent threat, the cause of a hundred mysterious deaths, all to feed her cats and pay her rent. And then she died. The last thing she expected was to be reborn as a harmless kitten in the hands of a very strange girl. Now tasked with mentoring the girl in the arts of assassination, Caroline Daniels (now known as the fearsome Queen Violence Von Ragamuffin) has to figure out how to mother an idiot while weighing as much as half a loaf of soggy bread. A lighthearted cyberpunk romp featuring cat shenanigans, found family, a soft progression system, and naps.

Risha: Goblin Empress

Corwin Benedict

C55/100
Born the smallest and weakest of goblins, Risha worked hard to stay alive. A servant to the orc overseers and an evolution away from becoming that which she hated, she never gave up — hunting her own food and overcoming every obstacle in her path. Thrown into a pit and left to the mercy of orc warbeasts, Risha should have died. Instead she survived, only to disappoint her overseer by refusing to evolve into an orc. When Risha refused evolution, the System took notice. There was more to Risha than met the eye, and when her opportunity came, she seized it.

A Bioweapon's Rhapsody

Alexanders (Katsu)

C55/100
Four white walls, a small room to sleep in, and an adjacent combat testing area — that was the life of Subject P4. Fight or solve logic puzzles, defeat enemies to eat and integrate their designs, or receive nutrient paste if you fail. That was until, after a combat test, P4 managed to trigger the generation of a Mana Core and got away with it. The System gave the tools to fight toward freedom. Now the only goal is to keep that freedom and carry on the prime directives burned into the Core after escaping: Eat. Grow. Evolve.

Arcane Apocalypse

Arawn Frostguard

C55/100
What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it? The people of Earth are about to find out, and it's not going to be pretty. The moment the barrier keeping supernatural powers out collapsed, only the System's intervention held the world together. Mia is one of those tiny people on the floating rocks in the void — and she has much bigger problems, like goblins trying to eat her. It's not all bad: she may have monsters trying to eat her and disturbingly pointy ears, but she seems to have a real talent for magic.

With nothing but an almost-worthless System Assistant to help her, she must survive a world full of magic and monsters. An ominous [Mark of Fate] skill keeps putting her in harm's way, and everything from little slimes to giant wolves seems to want her dead. Can she navigate a new world that seems to have it out for her specifically?
