Elemental Dungeon

Jonathan Smidt

B69/100
Ryan doesn't remember much about his life before becoming a dungeon core — only that he had a bit of a disagreement with the church, something to do with a beheading. Now reborn, Ryan begins to arm his darkness dungeon with devious traps, bestial zombies, and ill-named skeletal creations, without doing anything too evil. Well, mostly. But being a darkness dungeon isn't all loot and bone puns. With a necromancer on the rise and the Adventurer's Guild watching his every move, he must prove that not all darkness dungeons are malevolent — even if they do have a few skeletons in their caverns.

Faceless Hunter

XKarnation

B69/100
Xen is a rare mind-eating slime who absorbs the memories of a fallen Hunter during a dungeon raid gone wrong — gaining not just human knowledge, but access to the class system designed to fight his kind. Granted a unique Shapeshifter class, he can take the form of any creature he consumes and learn their skills without limit. Using this edge, Xen plans to conquer the World Dungeon and infiltrate human society — the most dangerous enemy being the one that wears many faces.

Magus Reborn

Extra26, T.C. Liyanage

B69/100
Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower was one of the last Mages left, barely surviving in a world contaminated with dead mana and ruled by creatures of the dark. To save his world, he attempts a forbidden regression ritual — and overshoots by thousands of years, finding himself in an ancient era within the body of a young lord named Arzan, who was mysteriously murdered just before Kai arrived. Beasts are rampant, larger threats loom, and Kai must regain his former strength in a time of primitive technology. But with knowledge of the future, he might just be able to change the course of history entirely.

She is just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that has got nothing to do with her. Until it does.

Waking up on an island in the Pacific Northwest, Elijah finds himself suddenly gifted with magical powers and an innate connection to the natural world as a Druid — wielding Ethera and able to take on the forms of powerful beasts.

But will it be enough to save himself, let alone the world?

Master Hunter K

From Hell

B69/100
Without warning, humanity in its entirety was suddenly moved to another dimension. This new world, for all its gifts of wondrous abilities, was a stadium — a deadly arena of unimaginable scale. Every man, woman, and child was given a weapon and ordered to fight. Only two options existed: complete the many trials ahead, or perish. Billions of lives were extinguished in mere moments. But even within this abyss of despair, one small ray of hope existed: if even one person could complete every raid, humanity would be redeemed and restored. No save points, no revives, no retries. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules.

Reborn Healer

ghost flower

B69/100
Legendary healers can save cities from the brink of death with a word, but warriors can destroy them just as quickly. Ren will become both. Reincarnated into a world of magic and monsters, Ren discovers something impossible: two magical cores instead of one. One a mana-bound healer, the other a warrior that wields the shadows. But power comes at a cost — his unique abilities attract powerful enemies and strange mysteries as guilds, demons, and kingdoms scheme around him. Fortunately, Ren thrives with his life on the line. What doesn't kill him makes him stronger, and healers are very hard to kill.

Mars System Reboot

Dave Willmarth

B69/100
Late 21st-century Earth is overcrowded and resource-depleted. A crew of ten humans are sent to Mars aboard Hyperion I to establish the first colony. Just as they are about to descend to the surface, a careless accident kills a crew member and damages the ship, forcing the others to launch early. On day one they learn that magic is real, and that the planet — in fact the entire galaxy — is governed by a complicated and merciless System. Their assimilation into the System makes them enemies of the paranoid powers that be on Earth, cutting them off from all communications and resupply. On their own on a mostly dead world, nearly every form of life they encounter is out to kill them.

Jayke Cipher

StaffMage

B69/100
Jayke Cipher was, to his limited knowledge, one of the last people alive. The apocalypse struck Earth swiftly, and the monstrosities that roamed outside became an unavoidable part of his existence. Working from within a heavily defended compound, he watched them through surveillance cameras and cultivated a strange fascination with strange creatures. When the compound is breached and all other options are exhausted, his only option is the pod — a mysterious virtual reality capsule whose producer had released early in light of the apocalypse. He had always thought of it as suicide. But being eaten alive is worse.
