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.

Absolute Mastery: From Servant to Sovereign

XKarnation

B69/100
He was the world's richest man — islands, armies, a fortune that could buy nations. Then he died and woke up in the brutal Star River Sect as a lowly servant with no Spirit Root, the cultivation world's equivalent of a death sentence. He is destined to be cannon fodder, or worse, a test subject for the sect's alchemy experiments. But fate left him one parting gift: a System called Absolute Mastery, where every repetition increases proficiency, ignoring talent and bottlenecks entirely. While geniuses meditate for years to gain a sliver of power, Kael just has to grind. They call him trash. He calls them XP.

Apocalypse Cultivation

Blaise Corvin

B69/100
Post-Apocalypse America is unrecognizable. Jake survives as the leader of a scavenging adventuring team — a former mage who now follows the strange path of cultivation, taught to him by a mysterious traveler. As far as he knows, he is one of the only people on Earth with this power. Events will unfold that change Jake's life forever. He might even lose his very humanity while trying to do the right thing — but in return, perhaps he will grasp a second chance to save himself and others, to correct the past. He is about to be caught up in something much greater than himself. Will he be consumed by the machinations of greater powers? No matter how terrible the odds, Jake doesn't give up.

Apocalypse Tamer

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A battle royale of worldwide proportions begins — but Basil Bohen doesn't give a crap about the apocalypse. He would rather live in the woods with his monster pets.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B69/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.

Rivera's Repairs: Dungeon Repairwoman

M.S. Davidson

B69/100
Nineteen-year-old repair technician Tess Rivera lives on Tertius-Prime, a crumbling megacity built atop a dungeon that has been "cleared" for twenty years. The power grid fails nightly, her father's health is declining, and their freighter-home is one broken component away from becoming a coffin. When desperation drives her into the dungeon's outdated tutorial system, it malfunctions—and Tess fixes it herself, accidentally acquiring a {null} class no one has ever heard of. No combat skills, no normal leveling. Just the ability to see dungeon code, interface with broken systems, and talk to an AI that has been alone for far too long. The "cleared" dungeon is not empty. It has just been abandoned. And Tess's "broken" class might be exactly what is needed to wake it back up.

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.
