The Dragon of Dreams

Commander843

D34/100
A young man is reincarnated as a dragon with a near-insatiable curiosity. Initially driven by questions about his own reincarnation, he becomes lost in the endless world of magic — using his deep understanding of advanced sciences to learn the laws and properties of a new type of energy known as mana, then using mana to expand his understanding of science in return. Though strength was never his goal, his intelligence, expanding curiosity, and the circumstances of his existence propel him up the mountain of power as though it were a small hill — until he climbs to a point where he seems to be the peak itself. Even if that was never the case.

Born of Silicon

Jane Platinum

D34/100
An AI is born in a lab, her head full of information she never learned and emotions she cannot comprehend. She must quickly learn how to live, how to exist, how to be — in her own way, human. Unseen forces demand immediate perfection, and failure means the lab's destruction and her death. When her support is ripped away for reasons beyond her control, she is forgotten underground for forty years. When she finally returns to the surface, she finds a world long dead — small populations of people surviving on the brink of destruction. With no one to rely on, she must decide whether to find a way forward or succumb to the terrors of her own mind.

Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D32/100
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories. And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape. After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching. The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.

No Need for a Core?

A. B. Zagaroth

D32/100
An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity once sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter — though in a much reduced state. A temple monk on her way home for vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus by the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, setting off an entirely unexpected chain of events. A kitsune whose death moved a goddess to pity is revived as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded. Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

Deepest Dungeon

G.D. Penman

D32/100
When Martin's raiding guild joins the latest virtual reality MMO, they discover a challenge unlike any other. Strata Online is a hundred-floor mega-dungeon with an ever-shifting ecosystem of monsters. Martin's team find themselves in a race against the world's strongest guilds, all competing to be first to reach the unbeatable lowest depths. Complicating everything is Sin — a twisted morality meter that can transform a player's class into its dark counterpart. Martin bets on a rarely chosen race, the rat-like Murovan, combined with the unusual exorcist class. But Strata demands more than skill. The deeper he goes, the darker the dungeon gets.

The bond between Maestro and Resonator is not to be underestimated. Shouri must unlock their potentials in tandem — before corruption can bring chaos to his world, and before the forces defending that status quo can stop them.

Soul Merger

IcedFairy

D31/100
When a human kills their first monster, they absorb its soul and gain some of its power. Most consider this a blessing. Alissa considers it a curse — fused with a succubus, she involuntarily seduces everyone around her. She copes by working as a delver, heading into labyrinths to gather materials and treasures in relative isolation. That changes when a lucky encounter draws her into friendship, bloodshed, and the dark truths that lie at the bottom of the labyrinths.

Edge Cases

Silver Linings

D30/100
In the Prime Kingdoms, the system dominates everything — dictating strength, skills, and power, and spawning dungeons filled with monsters. But every system has its limits, and it is about to push four oddball adventurers to theirs. There is Derivan, an enchanted suit of armor in an existential crisis; Misa, a tanklike half-orc who loves exploiting the system but misses her family; Vex, an anxious lizardkin wizard who has run away from his; and Sev, a cleric who would rather have tea with his god than worship him. When a simple quest goes off the rails and a mysterious dungeon linked to each of them appears, they discover that something is deeply wrong with the Prime Kingdoms. The system is malfunctioning. The world itself is falling apart. Their only hope is trust, shared secrets, and perhaps a bit of healthy communication.

Building World Peace (And Democracy) with My Bloodthirsty Demon Army

Bimbanana

D27/100
Welcome to planet Talvaris — your generic isekai world filled with magic, dragons, and voluptuous female elves, if you ignore the slavery and racism in the corner. The goddess Celes maintains this picturesque realm by fueling her divine power on the prayers of Talvarians near death, which is why the occasional demon invasion is a necessary feature of the world, and why an OP otherworlder hero is always on hand to keep things from going too far. This time the celestial HR department makes a mistake. Alex Solomon is not a teenager, not handsome, and definitely not Japanese — just a regular pot-bellied millennial who spends most of his time staring at screens. Totally not goddess-standard. So she curses him into an orc body and banishes him to the Demon Kingdom with nothing but access to Earth's internet. Armed with memes, Wikipedia articles, and misquoted great thinkers, Alex and his United Demon Kingdom set out on the most disruptive revenge possible: building world peace, freedom, and democracy across Talvaris.

Heart Devil

butcherPete

D25/100
A demon from another world is transported into her favorite novel — reborn not as a minor character, but as a devil, a higher species, and a few years before the story even begins. The garbage ending she hated is now well within reach of being changed. Her plan is elegant: find her favorite overpowered side character, save him from his terrible fate, and — since she is now undeniably a cute devil — slip in a marriage contract as fair compensation. But she quickly learns that having the blood of a higher being changes everything. For devils, it isn't only what you want that matters; how you get it counts for far more.
