The Divine Dungeon

Dakota Krout

S88/100
Cal is a Dungeon Core — a soul forced against his will into a magical stone. With the help of an energetic Wisp, he grows a dungeon around himself to draw in new sources of power. The age-old questions adventurers ask — where do the rewards of weapons and gold come from? why is there a fluffy bunny charging at me? — have a simple answer: Cal. When a threat he doesn't fully comprehend bares its teeth, Cal is determined to survive at any cost. Unfortunately for adventurers, the only way for him to do so is to consume anyone who enters his depths. Meanwhile, a young sheep-herder turned Noble walks his own path of cultivation — one that will intertwine with Cal's in ways neither can foresee.

The Hundred Reigns

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

S88/100
For twenty years, Balzam Magnos terrorized the world as its third Overlord — conquering kingdoms, slaughtering heroes, crushing rebels. None could stand up to him. But then he died, and Simon is now stuck with his Class. Owning the most powerful Class in the world has its downsides. The paladins want his head. His overpowered siblings want his throne. His empress stepmother wants both. And his predecessor's assassin is still out there. But the Overlord Class has a secret: its user can turn back time to their coronation up to a hundred times, reliving their reigns until death. Simon has a hundred reigns to grow strong enough to fulfill his dreams. Not one more, not one less. Better make each one count.

Mage Errant

John Bierce

S87/100
Hugh of Emblin is convinced he is the worst student the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen — he can barely cast spells, and those he does tend to fail explosively. When an unusual mage chooses him as an apprentice anyway, his life begins to change. Across the continent of Anastis, Hugh and his friends are pulled into ever-larger conflicts: deadly labyrinths, desert pirates, traitors on the Skyhold Council, the return of a city banished from the world five centuries ago, and a full-scale war that threatens to consume everything. At the center of it all is the Tongue Eater — an ancient weapon capable of devouring entire languages, whose rediscovery could mean madness and death for the entire continent.

Arcane Ascension

Andrew Rowe

Five years ago, Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those who reach the top will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor on a mission to find his brother. If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement — but that won't be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels.

12 Miles Below

Mark Arrows

S87/100
The world is in ruins. Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. The only escape from the deadly climate is underground — but that brings its own disasters: monstrous machines lurking in the depths, land that shifts like contraption more than rock, and only demigods powerful enough to travel deeper. When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father are trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two must set aside their differences while they struggle against gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

Tunnel Rat

Walrus King

S87/100
Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of concrete. He spends his days repairing machinery and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate the small tunnels that are his world—as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he maintains. An escaped lab experiment living in a hole. Given a chance at being someone different, Milo may become a hero. But there are secrets buried in the ground: ancient mysteries left by races that delved deep and stayed below. Maybe only a tunnel rat can discover them.

1% Lifesteal

Robert Blaise

S87/100
Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

To escape, he must slay one of the Guardians defending the exits, a feat no classless fighter has ever survived.

Victor of Tucson

PlumParrot

S85/100
Victor can't wait to get out of high school and start his own life on a sports scholarship. That plan is derailed when he steps into his abuela's house and somehow ends up in a world filled with fantastical meta-humans, walking talking devils, and creatures one usually needs serious pharmaceuticals to see. Fanwath is no dream — it's a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor learns his new home is controlled by the System, and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious Energy that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. His stats start at a solid zero. Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before — which means they have no idea what he's really capable of.
