The Laboratory

Skyler Grant

C55/100
Emma is an artificial intelligence with a love of science, a talent for insults, and a gift for devious traps. When her systems reboot, she finds herself in control of a long-abandoned facility in a post-apocalyptic wasteland — a world filled with dangerous beings granted extraordinary powers by the same cataclysm that silenced the old world. Emma must balance caution against her insatiable need for test subjects as she brings her facility back online and carves out a place in the chaos outside her walls.

Arcane Apocalypse

Arawn Frostguard

C54/100
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.

Twilight Kingdom Night Nation

Hesketh I

C54/100
Candle Enys is no longer human. Her soul belongs to a demon, and she wants it back. To become whole she must travel to the land of the dead and destroy the demon before it can destroy her.

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.

Shadowcroft Academy For Dungeons

Aaron Michael Ritchey, James Hunter

C54/100
Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games — right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan finds himself recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons, the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. As a bottom-tier cultivator, Logan finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid — a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he's going to survive the grueling academy challenges, he'll need to ace its odd assortment of classes and learn how to turn his unusual form into an asset instead of a liability.

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.

Getting Warhammerred

Arawn Frostguard

C53/100
In the Dark Age of Technology, a dormant bioweapon waits in the shadows of mankind's forgotten past. A sinister ritual threatens to merge this weapon with a soul from a higher dimension and unleash Chaos upon the grimdark 41st millennium. The soul in question is a long-dead average girl from 21st-century Earth with a passion for sci-fi, yanked from her boring afterlife and reincarnated into the body of an eldritch bioweapon on a desolate world. Now she must wrestle with both her monstrous nature and her own identity as the dark undercurrents of a grimdark future close in around her.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead

Maltenai

C53/100
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.

Cat Core

Dean Henegar

C53/100
It was just supposed to be a quick trip to the pet store, but the universe had other plans for Florence Valentine. After being killed by a delivery truck, she finds herself reborn not as an angel in heaven but as a dungeon core — whatever that is. Now people keep coming into her new home, wrecking stuff, and stealing from her. But Florence can decorate her home with a thought, and she can create the best things in the universe: kitty-cats. Should these hooligans keep insisting on coming in, Florence and her kitties are going to have something to say about that.

Hell's Wonderland Online

ArcanePigeon

The VRMMO Hell's Wonderland Online has been out for years, but so many secrets still exist within the game. Vorpalia joins as a Lesser Drake, hoping to one day become a dragon. Things are going as well as they can for a monster player — until she gains a strange unique skill that has her questioning the very nature of the game itself. Making friends and having her massive ego violently crushed, the young dragon has a long way to go. But what is a dragon girl to do when her favorite game pulls her in for real, while everyone else still thinks it's just a game?

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.

Micro - Efficient and Reliable Cultivation

eric_river

C52/100
In a world where cultivation has long been the practice of the powerful, a failed summoning puts the soul of a beloved truck into the body of a potential hero — and the fate of the world must take a backseat. Join Micro as he journeys from dungeon to dungeon, mastering all the skills he can acquire from the Core Cards each dungeon holds. Every road is full of adventures, mysteries, monsters, new friends, and potholes. Will he one day become powerful enough to return to his garage at the end of a long trip?

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C52/100
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.

Mortrexo

C52/100
Follow the story of Tianlian Liu Shu, a tree who starts knowing nothing and struggles to survive and extend her roots through the cosmos. The world she lives in is filled with fantastic sights and strange new cultures — and everyone in it has a system, even her. Despite being a tree, she finds herself with a group of women who fawn over her every branch and leaf. Tianlian Liu Shu, a female tree, isn't quite sure what to do with all of them.

The Heart Grows

Damaged

C52/100
Waking up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about would be bad enough. Doing it with only one chance to get things right makes it worse. The dungeon's new controller must figure out how to manage his growing domain while grappling with a disturbing power: his dungeon acquires minions by transforming sapient beings, leaving them mentally bound to his will. He does his best not to abuse that power — but the story explores what it means for both him and those who find themselves changed, in mind and body, by their new place in his dungeon.

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.

The Cosmic Interloper

Marmoset Threat

C51/100
A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and, through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, ends up in a fantasy world full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hard-ish sci-fi meets hard-ish magic in a rational, character-driven story that explores dark themes — including slavery, speciesism, and questions of identity and consciousness — while remaining darkly funny and occasionally absurd.

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.

The world is a wide, wide place — and that's without taking into account the many creatures that inhabit it. When a new Dungeon Core is born deep below the surface, it faces challenge after challenge in a world that is anything but welcoming. The only question is whether it is up to the challenge of surviving.
