Immovable Mage

ImmovableMage

C57/100
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry. When the boy is accepted into Arcana Academy, his talent in mana foundation management awes everyone — making the eventual disappointment all the greater when Terry proves to be an utter failure at spellwork. Diagnosis: major aspect impairment, no cure. Faced with expulsion, Terry finds unexpected kindness that costs him his academy place but gives him a home with a caring family. Resigned to exploring mana cultivation, he never stops searching for his own path as a mage — day after day, season after season — looking for compatible spellwork. All to finally find the only spell he can cast. A journey to discover that even a narrow path of magic can lead to the territory of legends.

Lunatic Sword

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.

Unclassed: A Skill Merging LitRPG

Silverdawn

C57/100
Raised as an orphan in Flea's End, Adam dreamed of wealth and luxury, working every day toward saving enough for the offering that would earn him a rare and desirable Class. Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

Anthem of Infinity

Blaise Corvin, Outspan Foster

C57/100
It has been two years since the Shift — when most technology stopped working and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves, who seem as good an explanation as any for what caused the Shift. But for Noah, survival comes first — sometimes even before self-respect. Lawless, post-apocalypse America has forced him to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. He will get a lucky break in a big way, though: a mysterious orb with otherworldly power. In time, perhaps Noah will find another path — and if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C57/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

And with it, a Legendary Class: Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so ravenous — making her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal? Alex embarks on a perilous trek through the wilderness to reach the compound for supplies. As the dinosaurs close in with her brother's life hanging in the balance, she must master abilities she barely understands or succumb to a world that feeds on the weak.

When his hunt goes sideways and he discovers he can harness the power of the Sparked, Caldor is ready to battle his way to the top.
