Blue Core

InadvisablyCompelled

S89/100
Not every dungeon is a place of monsters, traps, and death. Not every dungeon core wants adventurers or slaves. Blue wants something different: to stay well away from enemies, avoid the brutality of the mage-kings' Red Cores, and build something better. Fortunately, there are alternatives—and Blue intends to explore all of them.

Magic Eater

Sean Oswald

S88/100
Found as a child and raised an orphan with no memory of his past, Tad has always had a strange ability to smell magic.

Now Tad must uncover the secrets of his heritage and find his place in the wider multiverse. He knows he's a man—but a demon insists he's something far more.

The Ballad of a Semi-Benevolent Dragon

SecretTwelve

S88/100
The story of a semi-benevolent dragon who occasionally does the right thing for the wrong reasons. Protecting villagers from marauding soldiers? Of course — they can't give tribute if they're dead or their crops are on fire. Destroying a tyrannical kingdom? Absolutely — they have treasure that could be his treasure. A comedy about a dragon whose self-interest and morality are more aligned than he'd like to admit.

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 Elf Who Would Become A Dragon

ljamberfantasy

S87/100
Saphienne lived the idyllic life of an elf in the woodlands — eternal joy her birthright, the supremacy of elven magic her inheritance.

Her pursuit of a wizarding apprenticeship set her against both magical and moral challenges. Saphienne grew into a formidable woman — and when the flames subsided, the elves struck her name from history.

The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale

ClearMadness

S86/100
A new, darker age is dawning. The greed of kings has ignited a seemingly endless war. As men fight, the monsters of the untamed wilds devour the frontier — villages abandoned, fields gone fallow, murderous bandits roaming the desolation. None of that matters to a nameless goblin slave. He just wants to eat as much food as he can shove into his mouth when no one is looking. But fate runs a twisted course, and instead he is whisked away to the far-off Iron Teeth Mountains. To stay alive, he will have to evolve into something more than a simple goblin and carve a bloody path through the forests of the North — if he can first get over his crippling fear of trees, and survive in a place where everything considers him the perfect size for a quick snack.
