Saving The Lich Queen

Matizu

C55/100
Thirteen years ago, the Lich Queen was merely Kai's quiet, awkward classmate at Lokora's Magic Academy. He should have defended her from her bullies. Luna's lich transformation killed thirteen people, burned the academy to disbandment, and left Kai in a coma — waking with an odd power: the ability to witness traumatic events through the eyes of the victim. When Luna returns to Lokora, Kai's power offers an unexpected opportunity: to return to the past, into the classroom where Luna is still a fourteen-year-old despised prodigy sitting alone at lunch. This time, Kai sets out to stop her transformation — until he learns that bullying alone may not have been what pushed her to darkness.

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.

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.

Sunspot

yootie

C54/100
Seven years ago, the Frozen Flame brought magic to Earth — but not to Dalton, who received only scars.

When fate splinters and magic finally finds him, it's the best day of his life — and the worst. He suddenly becomes a resource in a cold war over magical power, hunted by paramilitary organizations and Flame-worshipping cults alike. Worse, the reality of being a flamebearer is nothing like the apotheosis he dreamed of: it is cruel and twisted, the bloody path of monsters.

Dungeon Inc.

Colossal Soup

C54/100
Dungeon Inc. is the biggest 'fake' reality show on Earth — college kids pretending to be actors, starring as fantasy heroes. But on the other side of the portal, the monsters don't follow scripts, the loot is real, and there's no respawn button. For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

AT Valentine

C53/100
Lianthorn Belladonna could have been so many things — an artist, a mage, a gardener. Instead, his family sealed his future, trapping him in a life of scheming, poison, and murder. On the cusp of completing his poisonous masterpiece, he makes a choice that changes everything. He flees the gilded cage of their family manor and seeks refuge in a quiet frontier town, where the name Belladonna means nothing. With his family's infamous scarlet-bound recipe book hidden away, he attempts to forget the toxins and discover the simple joy of helping people. Out on the frontier — and in the company of a red-scaled Draconian carpenter with fire powers — 'helping people' will require all his skills, including the alchemy he worked so hard to escape.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C53/100
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.

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

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C53/100
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.

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C53/100
A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

Maltenai

The cycle is simple: a Dungeon Core is born, seeks power, accumulates wealth, descends into darkness, and is eventually quelled by adventurers. All cores desire power. This one seems to have it backwards. It has no desire to rule, enslave, or conquer — it wants to start a corporation. When money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core on its journey to earn fat stacks while going to absurd lengths to avoid being evil.
