Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D33/100
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.

M. E. Cuartas

A mysterious signal is detected simultaneously at several space centers, decoded to reveal an enigmatic message: the Tower will appear in 77 days. Initially dismissed as a prank, the situation rapidly escalates as scientists and officials scramble to respond.

Will they rise to the challenge or succumb to despair? What is the true purpose of the Tower, and what does it mean for humanity?

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

Bimbanana

D32/100
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.

Villainess Joan of Arc

OnceWritten

D32/100
Steve tried as hard as he could to beat his favorite game, The Hundred Years War, as his favorite general, Joan of Arc. After hundreds of failed runs he finally did it — with a small exploit, but still number one in the world. The game asked for his name, and the moment he gave his real one, he found himself sucked into the game as Joan of Arc. Trapped in a world where Joan is forced to fight battle after battle through countless lifetimes, Steve's only hope is the exploit that won him the game. But when he finally finds it, he's faced not with the end but a whole new beginning — a completely different game where he has no idea what's going on. What the hell's a Villainess?

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer

AdvonKoulthar

D32/100
To be taken to another world — isn't that what nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their knowledge of how these situations usually go and seize control of their own destiny. Unfortunately, this man arrived as his new character in the VRMRPG Underworld of Armok — at Level 1, with no status window, and no grand power to ease the way. In safety there are few benefits; only by taking risks far beyond his level can one proceed. Transported to another world, he wants to do good and be a hero. There's just one caveat: he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.

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.

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.
