Ashen Realm

S.D. McKittrick

B69/100
All Ole wanted was to become an adventurer like his brother and build a life with his childhood sweetheart. That dream shatters on his birthday when his unique skill is revealed and he is betrayed by the man who raised him, left for dead in the Ashen Realm — a dangerous world of portals and monsters that prey on humanity. With only a broken knife and scraps of food, Ole must fight to survive and unlock skills that shouldn't be possible. As he struggles, he discovers that the Ashen Realm is far more than humanity believes — deepening mysteries and a hidden world unfold around him. His goals are simple: return to his world, and kill the man who betrayed him.

Manifest Fantasy

DrDoritosMD

B69/100
In a world of swords and magic, no one expects an AH-64 Apache Attack Helicopter. Transferred to Area 51 to babysit a dusty relic, Captain Henry Donnager made peace with a career of raking sand and motor pool Mondays. But when a team of scientists unlocks a portal to the fantastical world of Gaerra, Henry is thrust into command of Alpha Team — an elite military unit tasked with exploration and diplomacy. To gain local trust, they join the renowned Adventurers Guild. It turns out modern firepower handles fantasy monsters just fine, and the Guild doesn't care how the monster dies, only that it does. Quest by quest, Alpha Team rises through ranks meant for wizards, all without a drop of magic. Every victory pulls them closer to the secret at the heart of Gaerra: who built the gateway, and why?

AQUILA

nyctophilus

B69/100
At twenty-one, everyone manifests a symbiont — a creature invisible to all but its host that shapes their destiny. Conrada "Conrad" Dorrien harbors a dangerous secret: she alone can see everyone's symbionts. Revealing her gift could trigger a buyout of her contract, separating her from family and placing her at the mercy of ruthless corporations. As manifestation approaches, Conrada hopes to follow her father into academia. But her extraordinary connection to the symbionts means she's destined for anything but easy obscurity. A single word — Classified — and she becomes the latest acquisition of Aquila Operations, a boutique corporate consulting firm known for unorthodox methods and a reputation for always getting the job done. A low-fantasy dystopian corporate-feudalism story with grey characters, a queer-normative setting, and a slow-burn romance.

Echoes of the Tribulation

Carl Dehal

A path of adversity lies before him, spanning from the Scottish Borders to the Spanish Reconquista, the Holy Land, and realms beyond. His ascension is an unceasing trial where one misstep may condemn his soul — facing mythical beasts, hordes of demons, and fell beings created by the System for the Tribulation of Mankind. Will he live by the Words of God, be guided by his own intent, or will other forces claim him for their own ends?

The Gods are Bastards

Webbonomicon

B69/100
It was a world of sword and sorcery, but that was a thousand years ago. The last elves live on reservations. Dwarven forges have turned to clockwork and steam. New technologies and advanced magics have made the world smaller, safer, richer, and more polluted — dungeon delving can only be done with the proper permits. The Age of Adventures is over. Until it suddenly begins again. Without warning, the gods call forth two new paladins into a world at peace where there are no demons to slay, and the bureaucrats and industrialists who run the world are less happy to see them than the kings and queens of old. In a cramped landscape of complicated politics where adventurers are no longer welcome, what are the mighty warriors of the gods even supposed to do? Well, first, they're sent to school. And it all goes downhill from there.

A Benevolent Evil Dragon

Nolifeneeded

B68/100
A powerless man, thrown about by a world he had no say in and unable to change his circumstances, is reborn as a newborn dragon with the potential to finally be truly free. Escaped from the grasp of higher powers and not keen to be another cog in the machine, he uses his cumulative knowledge and new talents to survive and carve his own path. Misfortune still follows him, however. Higher beings are keen on interfering with his existence, his own instincts and impulses as a dragon contradict his human mind, and old problems he thought he had left behind come back to haunt him. This is a story of exploring identity, the self, and the world — with a complex magic system and an unhinged, scientific approach to studying it.

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. 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.
