Obelisk - System Integration

Conor Malachi

B73/100
Ominous Obelisks land on Earth with a single message: join the games to give humanity a fighting chance to survive — or be destroyed. Warren isn't the rolling-over type, even with cancer slowly killing him. He has nothing left to lose. But once the games begin, he starts to wonder if a hospital bed wasn't so bad after all. He pushes forward anyway. Humanity needs him, and Warren has never known how to quit.

Prototype

Jez Cajiao

B73/100
Ajax is one of Earth's most elite Paladin pilots, trusted to fly the most advanced starfighters humanity ever produced. Wounded and abandoned behind enemy lines, his carrier has fallen back and he's parachuting down onto an alien world with a broken arm, no ship, no weapons, and only hazy memories after losing them to the purge. He knows they'll return — and they'll treat this world to the same kind of plasma bombardment the elves inflicted on Mother Earth. Getting back into orbit is going to be a hell of a fight. But he'll do it, or he'll die trying. They say humanity is only three meals from going feral. It's time the rest of the galaxy found out just how true that is.

Tower of Power

Ivan Kal

B73/100
Morgan used to be a pretty normal guy — college by day, online gaming by night — until he got hit by a car and a man in a wetsuit appeared with an offer: a second chance at life in a world built like the games he loved, with the promise of great power for those who complete the Tower of Power. Dropped into a strange new world where everything wants to eat his face, Morgan stumbles onto two half-elf twins willing to help him get his bearings. Now he just needs to survive long enough to reach the Tower.

Codename: Freedom

Apollos Thorne

B73/100
With war on the horizon, the government must accelerate their super soldier program. They have developed a new Virtual Reality system — the perfect tool to find and train recruits outside the military. Against all odds, Lucius, a semipro gamer raised by an AI companion named Destiny, is selected to participate in Codename: Freedom, a VRMMO with one key feature the developers neglect to mention: 100% pain, no dampeners. Thrown into the game with barely any time to orient themselves, Lucius and the other participants find their entire player city under attack. With the world watching live, Lucius faces an opportunity to build a following and impress sponsors — if he can survive long enough. This is far from just another game.

Blood Eagle

Quill

B73/100
They took his tongue, and with it his song and his sorcery. They threw him to the lions, expecting him to die. Mauled, mutilated, and bereft of magic, Arn survives. A prisoner in Aquila, the northern skald has lost all his powers. But a felled tree can regrow, a destroyed house can be rebuilt, and a broken man can be made whole. The method is forbidden magic, and the price is life's blood. With each death by his hand, Arn will claw his powers back — little by little — aided unwittingly by his new masters, who have only one use for him: the arena.

He killed the Undead King — and then died before he could learn the full truth. But that wasn't the end. He woke in a new world, in a new body, with a chance to start again. Elor, last defender of his world, will hunt the God of Death for his revenge.

KILL ALL KAIJU

HeroGuy

B72/100
Earth is lost. Driven to the brink of extinction by impossibly powerful Kaiju, humanity survives only in Subterranean Arks deep in the Earth's mantle. Raymond Ryker isn't a hero. He's simply the best surviving pilot humanity has ever known — and he fights not for glory, but to avenge the countless lives lost to the monsters. When a mad plan is concocted to send a human consciousness back in time to inhabit their younger self, Ryker volunteers. But the experiment goes wrong: instead of his teenage body, Ryker's mind is transplanted into a newly hatched Kaiju. Trapped in the body of a monster and unable to warn humanity of the coming cataclysm, he must forge his new form into the ultimate weapon. The mission hasn't changed. Kill all Kaiju.

My Best Friend is an Eldritch Horror

Actus

B72/100
Good things come to those who wait. Damien Vale didn't, and now he's bound to an Eldritch creature from beyond the farthest reaches of the universe — unfathomable, utterly evil, and fond of being called Henry. To Damien, none of that mattered. He was going to learn magic regardless. Starting his first year at a mage college, he didn't expect it to be easy — but when he's assigned to room with a strange girl whose magic even Henry is wary of, things get complicated. He sets out to become a powerful mage while dealing with a murderous professor, an eldritch creature that has created a teenage persona, and a roommate far more perceptive than he'd like. As Damien struggles with the ramifications of the monster within him, a disturbing truth emerges: Henry might not be the only eldritch creature on the mortal plane — and Damien may be the only one who can stop them.

Dosei

B72/100
Adam is no one special — just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, fate has other plans when the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries. The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance, and they've decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity's future is at stake, and it's all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. Despite everything, he overcomes the first Stage and attains some measure of power — then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it. Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies. A roguelite-inspired GameLit with infrequent time loops, a weak-to-strong protagonist, and huge build variety across Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, and meta upgrades.

Father of Constructs

Aaron Renfroe

B72/100
Lorith's magic is fading. Centuries ago, heroic adventurers stopped the World Boss' cycle of rebirth by reducing the creature to one hit point and sealing it away — but by ending one calamity, they halted the natural flow of magic within the world and brought about the Havoc Plague. With all civilization now on the brink of collapse, humanity's only hope is to find and kill the World Boss again to restart its rebirth cycle. When the Plagued janitor Harvey accidentally kills the missing World Boss, he gains a million experience points — making him the target of almost every would-be adventurer in the world. Burdened with ancient knowledge and hunted by countless rivals, he must join with unlikely allies to find the reincarnated World Boss and defeat it again before it can ravage the world anew.

Second Life as a Soldier

Soldier_of_Avalon

B72/100
He died a nobody. Now he's reborn in a body beaten and left for dead — no family, no food, no future. In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn't just respected, it's survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war. Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life. The road ahead is long and unforgiving — but with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater: growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.

Princess Lillia Ashvalin was supposed to inherit a throne, not fight a giant bug for the right to wear its skin as a dress.

Duskbound

D. E. Sherman

B72/100
Monsters don't fear the dark. They fear Velik. Changed by a childhood encounter he still struggles to understand, Velik is now faster and deadlier than any ordinary human — armed with a unique class built for one purpose: hunting monsters. For ten years he has braved the frontier alone, growing stronger with every kill. But the monsters are coming faster and stronger, and he is losing ground. When a guild hunter arrives and seems more interested in Velik than in the monsters he was hired to kill, Velik is forced to venture deeper into the woods — where what he finds is not just a nest but a secret that could explain what happened to him ten years ago. Something in the dark remembers him, and it has been waiting.
