SilverLinings

B71/100
Every time he dies, Ethan Hill gains a little more power. Earth was chosen for Integration, but Ethan knows from the second his Trial begins that the Integration is a lie. The beings giving Earth access to their Interface want something from humanity — he just doesn't know what. Now he's trapped on an alien planet and lost in a time loop, fighting for strength and for his own humanity. One thing's for sure: he'll die as many times as it takes to tear it all down.

The Dragon Heir

Mangowo

B71/100
Jade was born wrong — a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she's becoming a dragon in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon's food chain by indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing — or die as prey. Humanity is optional. Survival isn't.

KILL ALL KAIJU

HeroGuy

B71/100
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.

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.

Finding her footing in a world where reputation matters will be no easy task.
