Ether Atlas - The Hidden Grid

Lucas Arden

F17/100
In 1974, a stranger handed Gary Gygax the rules of D&D. Fifty years later, the world found out why. The System is here. Millions are dead, ancient monuments hum with energy, and human biology has become a character sheet. Arthur Ashworth is a structural engineer who reads monsters like damaged buildings. Donna Callas is a security consultant who fights like she was trained for this. Steve Parr is an archaeologist who just realized his entire career was fieldwork for the apocalypse. Their guide is an alien construct with strong opinions about human architecture and absolutely no intention of telling them anything useful. They were a D&D party every Thursday. Now the dungeons are real, the monsters are real, the stats are real, and the ancient ruins they raid were built by something that has been watching humanity for thirty-five thousand years.

Blasphemy Online

Andrew Seiple

F16/100
Richard Royal has a hard life in a corrupt, church-controlled dystopia. His only joy comes from full-immersion gaming — until he's introduced to a new and very illegal game that places him in the body of a dragon on a quest to find a dark power to serve. But the game is more than it seems, and the dragon is more than a beast. Rich's life becomes far more complicated than he ever imagined, with threats mounting both in-game and in the real world. There is no path that won't lead to blasphemy.

Firstborn of the Frontier

ruffwriter

F16/100
The Frontier — a new world full of freedom, adventure, and opportunity, where anyone can carve their name into history. For Howie Zhu, the Frontier is all he's ever known. Born and raised in this unexplored land, he sets out to make his mark as the Firstborn of the Frontier. With his daddy's pistol on his hip and his mama's Spellbook in his pocket, he ventures out in search of fame, fortune, identity, and purpose. A trailblazer by necessity and a lone wolf by nature, Howie explores a world without modern conveniences where the law is a distant echo and monstrous Aberrations run rampant. The true struggle lies in straddling the line between hero and villain — morals are the currency of trust, and there is little of either on the wild, untamed Frontier.

NANITE

Lord Turtle the first

F16/100
In the fractured sprawl of Virelia — a city of rusted steel, synthetic dreams, and brutal survival — Ray was just another forgotten face: a streetwise courier scraping by with debts and a sick mother. Then came the ambush. Then came death. Then came something else. A mysterious injector of nanites rebuilt him from the inside out, transforming him into a living weapon that can consume machines and minds alike, wear the faces of the dead, wield their skills as his own, and reshape his body into a formidable arsenal. Hunted by the corporations that engineered his power and the gangs that want to rip it from him, Ray fights to protect the few people he still cares about — but each consumed memory pulls him further from who he once was, blurring the line between protector and monster, man and machine.

Sanguine and Silver

Headless

F15/100
Something fell from the sky and crawled inside Florence Bannerman. By the time she woke up — tied up, thrown from a carriage by bandits, lying in a crater that used to be the Old King's Road — the thing had already fused to her blood and gone quiet. Now her skin turns to iron when she's scared, bullets flatten against her chest, and the government's magic detectors see nothing. Florence didn't come to Dunwick to be a weapon. She came to be a doctor. All she wants is to learn medicine, keep her head down, and not draw attention. She is failing spectacularly at that last part — especially with a runaway noble friend with pyromancy and a gambling problem, a decorated mage-hunter brother who cannot detect a secret living inside his own sister, and someone in the smoke and gaslight of the city already looking for the girl who survived the crater.

From John's perspective, he has no idea what's going on. He really was just an unlucky man who got caught up in some crazy stuff. This mysterious individual and his customers set off a strange series of events that slowly change the world, as investigators, witches, refugees, priests, and travelers from other worlds find their paths crossing in increasingly dangerous ways.

That was, until the author sent him a gift for being his sole reader until the end: the System of the novel's protagonist, and his greatest Skill — Reader Mage.
