This Machine Slays Dragons

W. Jefferson Smith

?
Dalex died, and his body was abducted by aliens. Resurrected halfway across the galaxy to do their grunt work, he finds himself commanding a starship with enough firepower to destroy a solar system, alongside a snarky android assistant. The habitable planets nearby are fantasy worlds — elves, beastmen, orcs, and dragons — overflowing with magical power. Unfortunately, the dragons are fascist authoritarians exterminating the elves and using native humans as their overseers, which ruins Dalex's image of the noble dragon entirely. With a post-singularity arsenal of weapons rebranded with fantasy-appropriate names, he intends to give those tyrannical wyrms the fight they deserve.

Aetherios System: Fireborn

TT.Reynolds

?
Caught in a nuclear blast, soldier Alex Pierce and eleven comrades are dumped into a world of magic where stats rule and the System shows no mercy. Alex finds bigger problems than rations and childhood trauma: forest badgers with personal grudges, a kobold village too stubborn for diplomacy, smug elves, and an undead dungeon that didn't get the memo about staying dead. His power build is ruined by an early magical mishap, his fellow soldiers are a disaster, and his closest ally might be an evil talking river pebble. The System only cares about one thing: prove yourself worthy to exist — or be erased.

Max-Level Paladin of the Fallen Gods

E.M. Dash

?
William Draven spent ten years mastering Realm of the Fallen Gods Online as a max-level Paladin. Then the system breaks, and he wakes inside the game — sealed in his golden raid armour, starving, exhausted, and painfully alive. Back in the starter village, nothing works as it should. His interface is shattered, skills refuse to activate, and numbers lie. Pain is real. Death is permanent. The NPCs think for themselves, monsters adapt, and bosses learn. With the Goblin King threatening the kingdom, hostile nobles circling, and an assassin on his trail, William must rebuild his power from scratch — one hard-earned stat at a time — in a world that no longer treats him as a player.

Space Fleet Academy: Year One

Jon Del Arroz

?
Humanity chose to suffer. The alternative was extinction. When genetic engineering nearly doomed the species, humanity made a desperate choice: let harsh colony worlds and brutal selection do what nature intended. Two centuries later, the Mandate has kept humanity alive — but at a price no one is allowed to question. Cadet Constantine Ramsey questions it anyway. As a frontier colonist at Earth's Space Fleet Academy, he keeps flinching at the hard calls, outperformed by cadets who do not. Then colonies start going dark — whole worlds, no survivors, no explanation. With senior classes rushed to the frontier, Constantine is thrust onto an unprecedented first-year team at the Inter-Colonial Games. When catastrophe threatens all four colonies at once, he faces the choice the Academy trained him to make — and makes the one they never expected.

William Dickey

?
Isaac Stein thwarted a beastman invasion and saved a city of millions — then was captured and dragged behind enemy lines.

To restore the natural balance, Isaac must traverse hazardous frozen terrain, prevent a second invasion, and unravel the motives of a power manipulating events across two worlds.

Small Unit Tactics

Alexander Romanov

?
A strange, foreign world. Mysterious judges with capricious rules. Thousands of gamers find themselves split into factions and pitted against each other at the whim of an unknown higher power, with no idea how they got there or why they were chosen. Dying hurts — but it is not the end; dead players always respawn. Echo, with his deep knowledge of fighting, armor, and weapons, has all the makings of a great leader. His ragtag unit, fighting under the less-than-threatening name 'Society of Pinprick Enthusiasts,' becomes the terror of opposing factions. But this game won't be won in straightforward skirmishes — it will require pacts, adaptability, and a strategic mind to carve a way to the top. Originally a massive hit in Russia and widely regarded as a forerunner of the LitRPG genre, this series is presented here for the first time in English.

Armed with steel, faith, and guts — and facing endless hordes of monsters and countless traps — Yamada must stop being a student and become a samurai.
