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.

Mars System Reboot

Dave Willmarth

B68/100
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.

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.

Dawn of the Density God

Madra: a planet stuck on hard mode, set to devour everyone on its surface. Jiran is just a child when he receives shattered, imperfect memories of a past life — and nestled inside those emotionless visions is a magic very different from the density and mana he knows: the magic of science. The empire stands alone against the relentless beasts of Madra. Their only means of survival is harnessing the density that saturates her surface, a magic they cannot possibly understand. Will Jiran realize he holds the key to unlocking humanity's infinite potential before they are all wiped out?

dGhl-IHBy-b3Rh-Z29u-aXN0 was born for war, its entire species created and grown as sentient cybernetic weapons.

Board & Conquest: A Godly LitRPG

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

B67/100
The gods don't play dice with the universe; they play Board & Conquest. Wepwawet, young god of wolves and scouts, is given a task to prove himself worthy of becoming a major god: form a new pantheon with other junior deities, manage a young civilization on a newborn world, and train mortal Champions to resist an inevitable Titan Incursion. Being saddled with an ice-covered barbarian village besieged from all sides isn't ideal, but it's now his duty to transform this ragtag bunch of misfits into the most formidable force the world of Elphion has ever seen. It doesn't matter how many of his fellow gods want his head on a spike, how many Miracles cards he has to collect, or how many uppity dragons and minions with attitude he has to manage — Wepwawet has never backed from a challenge and he isn't starting now. He was already a god; now, he'll have to become the god.

A (Not So) Simple Fetch Quest

Cathfach

B67/100
Katie is summoned to another world, but the mages responsible quickly realize it was a mistake — they only needed the Hero accidentally summoned alongside her. They send her on a simple fetch quest: retrieve a sword from down the hall and she'll be home in five minutes. When a goddess's blessing takes her wish for adventure rather too literally, Katie finds herself lost in a dark cave, far from the sword and far too close to a population of giant bugs. This is a dark LitRPG adventure in which Katie loses as often as she wins — sometimes with horrific consequences. Luckily, she's not the sort to let a gruesome death or two get her down, and is prepared to try again and again to complete her simple fetch quest.

A bloodmage born in shadows, a shapeshifter no one can predict, a survivor in a world set against him. Thalion's life as a marine biologist was modest in wealth but rich in joy — until the System arrived, sending everyone on Earth into a tutorial while merging the planet with four others. The System granted people magic and even ways to defy time itself, but the tutorial has become more of a slaughter trial than a learning experience. A post-apocalyptic LitRPG featuring an adaptive magic system that evolves based on its wielder, multi-POV storytelling, and expansive worldbuilding.

When the people of Blackmoor Cove ask about his combat role, Jack discovers his odd Hero Class and finds that parts of his game interface are riddled with exposed coding errors. The only way the town can grow and push back the unknown substance threatening to consume it is if Heroes venture into an infinitely high, ever-changing tower, kill bizarre monsters for their equipment drops, and deposit those items into a special chest. As Jack struggles to level up and help save the people he's grown to care for, he learns the true nature of this simulated world — and his destiny.
