Dragon Core: The Dragon-Girl Evolution & Princess-Collecting Dungeon Core Isekai

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C54/100
Some girls are reborn as chosen heroes. She was reborn as the thing heroes are sent to kill. Waking up with scales, claws, and the overwhelming urge to steal treasure wasn't exactly the second chance she'd hoped for — but Barjuchne, the last dragon, the legendary terror, is hers now. And she is done being small. Gold fuels her evolution. Gems sharpen her scales. Every level she climbs pulls her further from the frightened human she was and closer to something ancient, powerful, and magnificent. The world wants her destroyed? Let them come. There's just one thing nobody warned her about when reincarnating as a dragon: the princesses. She's collecting those too, now. Mostly by accident. Whether she's stumbling through stammered confessions or accidentally declaring war with a misread gesture, her hoard of remarkable suitors keeps growing — and somewhere between protecting her treasure and protecting them, the most terrifying thing imaginable is happening: they might be falling for her.

The Matter Destructor

Lucian Cross

C54/100
Hunter Graves was quiet, unreadable — a data analyst with a poker face and a life built on routine. But when a storm of lightning ripped his world apart, Hunter and everyone he knew were thrown into the Multiversal System, a brutal trial of survival where humanity was nothing more than raw material to be tested. Accepting the class of a healer, Hunter should have been relegated to the backline. Instead, his cold pragmatism and honed martial skill make him something far more dangerous — a fighter who refuses to die by the rules others set for him. Level by level, kill by kill, he grows sharper and faster while quietly unraveling the secrets of his skills and the unseen powers who watch from above.

Pantheon Online

S.A. Klopfenstein

C54/100
Imprisoned for a crime he barely remembers, Gunnar is forced to labor in an underground prison camp. But if he works hard, he earns time in a beta test for the first fully immersive online RPG. Pantheon Online is beyond anything Gunnar has ever experienced, but the game is inextricably linked to his reality as a prisoner — if he fails to perform, things are not going to go well for him. Gunnar must quickly learn to navigate a cutthroat city of thieves and assassins, garner the favor of a goddess, earn his way into a guild, and try not to be the brunt of all the AI's jokes. But there's more going on than he realizes, and the further he progresses, the more he understands the true stakes.

Through blood and sweat, Gabriel pushes to grow stronger. Deadly traps, shadowy factions, and wild dormant powers all stand in his way.

Shadowcroft Academy For Dungeons

Aaron Michael Ritchey, James Hunter

C54/100
Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games — right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan finds himself recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons, the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. As a bottom-tier cultivator, Logan finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid — a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he's going to survive the grueling academy challenges, he'll need to ace its odd assortment of classes and learn how to turn his unusual form into an asset instead of a liability.

Unfortunate Transmigrator

Rustpen

Hao Zhen, a lowly outer disciple of the Blazing Light Sect, finds out firsthand what that's like after a series of unfortunate events. His aptitude for cultivation is passable at best, he has no background to speak of, and he lacks any special powers.

Thrust into the spotlight, she finds herself on the front lines of a war against soul-reaping monsters and inside a cutthroat industry full of personalities that might be even more dangerous.
