Epilogue

Etzoli

A76/100
In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery they brought peace to a land on the brink of destruction. But when the people sought out their saviors, they had vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl — the four mysterious companions who had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives — were spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed. Except only three came back.

A Dearth of Choice (Dungeon Core)

Grim Tide

A76/100
A young dungeon core forms next to a lovely village full of lovely people who would probably understand its plight — if only it had a mouth with which to speak. Instead, everything goes horribly, terribly wrong. This is the story of a village, a dungeon, and a core's desperate desire to provide light, laughter, and life. It tries to choose talents and perks that bolster its life-mana alignment every time. So how did it end up with an undead army and insane boosts to death-aligned mana? How did everything go so wrong?

The Devil's Foundry

Argentorum

A76/100
A snarky villain and her heroic nemesis blow themselves up and land on a fantasy world. They find themselves faced with two prospects: learn to cooperate and respect someone they've fought against for years, or be swept away by the powers that be. Because Pride always comes before the fall.

An Unborn Hero

Cathfach

A76/100
The tale of a reincarnated magical girl lover, excited about finally living out her dreams of slaying evil with the powers of love and friendship. Unfortunately, a truck-wielding goddess interpreted her request to return her memories immediately after reincarnation rather too literally — meaning it'll be a long time before the frilly dress fits, and the demons don't seem to want to wait. Also in contention: the embryo of a hero facing the egg of a demon lord in a battle with serious mobility issues on both sides. And two new parents growing progressively more confused at the weird happenings around them. An absurdist LitRPG comedy in which an unborn hero speedruns the plot so efficiently it may all be over before she gets around to being born.

The Ogre's Pendant & The Rat in the Pit

J.M. Clarke (U Juggernaut)

A76/100
The land is conquered. A thief and a demon killer run afoul of its new overlord and the wizard that serves him. Now the wizard seeks his life's ambition — an artifact that will make his word law. Hearing this, the demon killer and thief begin to have ambitions of their own. The race is on for who will reach the artifact first, and an entire barbarian horde is in the running. Yet the prize lies within the Forest of Giants, grown from the corpse of an empire. There are tales of things that stalk the trees. Tales of those that hunger endlessly. Tales of ogres. A fast-paced, dark fantasy adventure.

Artorian's Archives

Dakota Krout, Dennis Vanderkerken

A76/100
After his town is put to the sword and the children are taken, an old man is out for revenge. He is ready to fail at the most difficult challenge in the world: cultivation. Too corrupted to even take the first steps, the sly old elder simply agreed with those who told him it was impossible — then quietly ignored them and started anyway. He had always failed at everything: lost his way from the academy, lost his command to a Mage, lost his town. The only thing that had never failed him was his sharp mind and philosophy. He would cultivate — no matter what it cost him.

Caught in the midst of this chaos is Lansius, an office worker and veteran MMO player who has been transformed into a medieval peasant. With no wealth, no status, and no magical abilities, armed only with his foundational knowledge of the art of war, Lansius must endure and thrive in a realistic medieval fantasy realm.

Little Devil

DocteurNS

A76/100
Samael has lived her entire life in what most people would call Hell — because it is. Fire, brimstone, demons, pitchforks, and tortured souls, all the usual trappings. But Samael is oblivious to most of it, having spent her days in the deepest reaches of Tartarus as a wandering hermit alongside her devil father and the occasional visit from a naggy angel aunt. Meanwhile, Sophia lives a peaceful life as a young priestess on a sacred island, largely ignored by the world. When her day takes a turn for the absolute worst, an unexpected ally stumbles into her path and turns her peaceful existence completely upside down.

A New Home

Sean Oswald

A76/100
Coming of age is hard enough without monsters — but when your family ends up stranded in a magical world, you don't have much choice. Jackson's class as an Ironwood Monk puts him on the front line: he grows stronger the more he gets hit and can pass that on to his team, if he can get his mom to actually let him fight. Set in the world of Eloria, with character sheets, stats, spell descriptions, and loot — but not a game. Jackson must navigate dangers in both dungeons and the halls of power if he is to find a new home for his family.

PlumBlossom0_0

A76/100
Ning finds himself reborn in the world of cultivation. As he embarks on this new life, he gradually becomes aware that this realm revolves around a select few "protagonists" who endure underestimation and humiliation, only to rise and retaliate following the predictable patterns of clichéd cultivation novels. Realizing he is an "extra" — freed from the constraints of these clichéd rules — Ning resolves to chart his own path towards immortality, steering clear of predictable tropes and stereotypes. He uses his sharp intellect and vast knowledge to ascend to the pinnacle of the cultivation world, defying conventions and outsmartting adversaries along the way.

Corporations race to monopolize new untapped resources, and people are suddenly developing powers via a system with borderline sinister intentions. In the chaos, Matt sticks to what he knows: stay out of the spotlight, grind, and survive. But he'll be dragged into the dark whether he likes it or not — where the price of failure is death, and the prize for winning is beyond his wildest dreams.

The Thirteenth God

Django Wexler

A76/100
Taking down a god is not easy. In order to escape a prison at the edge of the world, con artist Kalsis Chiroptera agrees to do the impossible: overthrow the Princeps, the immortal ruler of all mankind. It seemed like a good idea at the time. With only a handful of survivors by his side — plus a cheerfully murderous golem girl — Kal has a long way to go before he is ready to challenge an empire. He will need allies, weapons, warships, and an ancient mecha that feeds on the bones of the world to grow stronger. A military progression fantasy featuring magitech, sandships, dark comedy, and a group of losers on a long road from dodging cannibal bikers to building a fleet of starships.

Salvos

V.A. Lewis

A76/100
The Netherworld is a hellish landscape inhabited only by Demons, creatures born from the dark abyss — and it is the only world Salvos knows. Joining the ranks of newborn demons, she is thrown into a violent, anarchy-ruled landscape where she must learn, adapt, and evolve to survive. Her curiosity aids her but her pride could be her fall. It is the nature of the Netherworld to avoid or conquer any threat — after all, the law of evolution is survival of the fittest. Set in a game-like world with Classes, Levels, and monster evolution, Salvos is a story where the world is entirely real to those who inhabit it.

Noah Brown had a gift for fighting. Unfortunately, punching things didn't pay the bills — at least until he died and an Eldritch god found his soul. The encounter sent him to a new world, summoned by bloody cultists, with nothing but the shirt on his back and a strange item in his system menu. [???]: A source of infinite potential. Perhaps he'd finally get to put his gifts to good use.

The Riyria Chronicles

MichaelJSullivan

A76/100
Royce Melborn, a cynical ex-assassin, and Hadrian Blackwater, an idealistic ex-mercenary, couldn't be more different — but desperate times make for strange partnerships, and sometimes the best friendships are bound by blood. The three volumes posted here follow the rogues-for-hire duo known as Riyria through a series of increasingly dangerous jobs: foiling the assassination of a mysterious noblewoman in an ancient corner of the world; tracking a wealthy baron's missing daughter through the mist-filled streets of a city full of old-world secrets; and racing to stop a disgruntled master craftsman from obliterating the legendary towers of Drumindor. Witty, action-driven, and built on the chemistry between its two leads, these standalone adventures reward both new readers and fans of the broader Riyria world.

Truth Medici has to fight every step of the way out of the Harban slums. If he fails, his parents will sell him and his siblings to the brothels and gangsters. The Starbrite Corporation offers wealth and power to those who survive its brutal selection process—and the truly driven can even access the System Astrologica, which can turn an ordinary person into a Demigod. In a world where angels and demons are hired help, "Demigod" is achievable. But power like that has to be fought for, and fighting is the one thing Truth has always been able to do.

Dreamer's Throne

WildCard

When Garrett comes to after a close brush with death, he's in a new world — missing an arm and paralyzed from the waist down. The brutal gang lord whose floor he's crashing on wants him gone, and only a plucky young woman and his own wits stand between him and a cold death in the streets. Armed with a system that grants experience for exploring this new world, Garrett is determined to survive by any means necessary — even if it means becoming a villain. But the city is far from what it seems. Terrifying creatures lurk around every corner, immune to conventional weapons, and a strange lucid Dream world keeps bleeding into reality. When it does, Garrett realizes the hostile gangs around him are the least of his worries.

My Big Goblin Space Program

ScottWarren

A76/100
Engineer, double amputee, and now astronaut for NuEarth LLC — Chris is about to complete his life-long dream of being the first man to moonwalk on prosthetics. At least until his rocket explodes on launch. Instead of death, he finds himself in a new world and a new body: three feet tall, covered in blue fur, and with the ability to command the absolute loyalty of any goblin he meets. The one familiar element to this new planet is that it's got a moon — a big one, with forests and seas. Chris sees no reason why death and reincarnation should get in the way of his goal. Armed with an expanding army of fanatical followers and a dubious self-propagating Goblin Tech Tree, he'll stop at nothing to jump-start the Apollo program. But he was brought to this world for a reason, and not everyone is content to leave the goblin king to his own devices.

The Flower That Bloomed Nowhere

Lurina

A76/100
The world is in the midst of a golden age. Humanity has been largely united under a single government for two centuries, scarcity has been all but eliminated, and the human lifespan has been extended far beyond what was once possible. Yet cracks have begun to form in this utopia — progress in science has outpaced social values, leading to conflict as the new generation struggles with perpetual disenfranchisement under their all-but-unaging elders. A class of gifted young arcanists are invited to attend a conclave held by the enigmatic Order of the Universal Panacea, an ancient organization devoted to pursuing the secret of true immortality. Several participants, including Utsushikome of Fusai — a prodigy of Thanatomancy whose grandfather was once a member — have ulterior motives for attending. Unbeknownst to them, there is a curse on the Order. An uninvited guest may already lurk among them — one that is not human. A whodunnit-style murder mystery with a focus on psychological drama and personal horror.

Inexorable Chaos

Cliff Hanger

A76/100
Gods are lazy. After a few hundred millennia they learned to delegate, and so the Heroes were born — useful pawns to handle the messy business of saving worlds. Quasi Eludo has been a Hero. He did the whole save-the-world routine, came home, and decided it wasn't enough. So he sold his services back to the Gods: Quasi Eludo, Hero for Hire. After countless subjective centuries on the job, an odd God arrives with a unique request — destroy a world, minimum payment several million dollars on completion. Quasi sees no reason to refuse.
