Mystery Walk

Robert McCammon

A77/100
Born and raised in rural Alabama, Billy Creekmore was destined to be a psychic. His mother, a Choctaw woman schooled in her tribe's ancient mysticism, understands the permeable barrier between life and death — and taught the power to Billy, who now helps the dead rest in peace. Wayne Falconer, son of a fervent tent evangelist, uses his own unique powers to cure the sick, on his way to becoming one of the most celebrated miracle workers in the country. Billy and Wayne share more than a gift — they share a dream and a common enemy. Their separate journeys are mystery walks leading toward a crossroad where ancient evil has taken shape, and the fate of mankind hangs in the balance.

Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon

Matt Dinniman

A77/100
Duke is offered $15,000 to paint a mural — with a catch. He must first see what his client wants painted, which means entering a private server: Kaiju: Battlefield Surgeon, a survival horror full-immersion game where fantasy races clash with technology, giant monsters guard the gates of heaven, and players take the role of battlefield surgeons keeping those behemoths alive. But this server was not built for the game. It was built by the world's most sadistic minds as a place to bring victims, exploit the game's full-pain and realistic anatomy systems, and push them far beyond any normal breaking point — then bring them back and do it again. Trapped, Duke has one goal: survive, win the game, and become the most ruthless monster in the room.

Until the day a griffin crash-lands into his stable with a summoner on its back, and everything changes. Thrust into a world of magical creatures and their masters, Bran quickly discovers how unique he truly is. But being special puts a target on his back — and some of the world's most powerful summoners will do anything to learn his secret.

Nanomachines

Nikolai Novikov

A77/100
Having gained self-awareness while still in his mother's womb, Michael Kaiser knew this was his chance. Being born was only the first step — at one year old he would have a college degree, and at five he would be a billionaire. This being a magical world with advanced technology, he'd catch up in no time. Except he nearly died in the first minutes of his life. Something had to be done. Michael Kaiser has the talent of Adaptation and nanomachines in his blood — and in a world where aristocratic bloodlines with magical abilities hold all power, he intends to climb from infant prodigy to unstoppable force.

Dungeon Planet: The Healer Always Leaves Alive

six-perihelion

A77/100
When a world falls through the false vacuum of its native universe, it ends up in the Spiral — an endless twisting helix of planets, stars, and civilizations, where a thousand different fundamental rules mix and blend to form the patchwork cosmos of the Weave. In the Spiral, magic and technology co-exist, freely used by traders, adventurers, and plunderers to make their fortunes. Miles is a human refugee, fresh from an Earth that has recently fallen into the Spiral. Unlike most of his peers, he's chosen to pursue a specialization in magic, and has just taken his first step on a journey that will take him to the highest and lowest points in his strange new universe.

Underland

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

A77/100
Once, the sun shone brightly on Azlant — until the Whitemoon came to steal mankind's light and condemn it to eternal darkness. Valdemar Verney is a sorcerer with a dream: to find a new world for his people to settle, one where the sky isn't a ceiling made of stone. But in the underground empire of Azlant, dissent is never tolerated. Brought before one of the undead Dark Lords, Valdemar is offered a choice he cannot refuse. Meanwhile, swordswoman Marianne Reynard is given a mission: to investigate a dead cult with a few mysteries left to unravel. Both are looking for the truth, though they might regret finding it — for many cultists, monsters, and cosmic horrors stand in their way.

The Unconventional Heroes

L. G. Estrella

A77/100
Timothy Walter Bolton — Timmy — has spent most of his life as a necromancer. When his latest creation, a zombie hydra-dragon-bear, tries to eat him, he decides it might be time for a less dangerous career. He is a wanted criminal with powerful enemies and a bone to pick with the Everton Council of Mages. Hope arrives in the form of a new law: war is coming to Everton, and the Council is desperate. In exchange for help, Timmy might earn a pardon. To get it, he must assemble a group of unconventional heroes — most of whom want nothing more than to mangle him. His team includes an obnoxious apprentice, a bumbling bureaucrat, and an elf who is basically the bogeyman. Wonderful.

No Strings Attached [Souls-like Fantasy]

RavensDagger

A77/100
The dragons are dead. Their colossal forms, once the lifeblood of an empire, now rot in the wastelands of a cursed continent. The people they empowered have been driven to madness by their absence, and a creeping decay smothers the land. Magus Montgomery Maldrak, driven by a desperate need to save his daughter lost on the decaying continent of Draya Calyrex, crafts a solution that skirts the edge of life and death: puppet-automatons animated by necromantic sorcery. Through their lifeless eyes, he will walk the ruins of a dead empire, searching for the truth behind the plague, the madness, and the dragons' fall. Some truths, however, are meant to stay buried.

Hannah has a routine. Wake up, shower, school, work, sleep. A perfectly normal routine for a perfectly normal girl who does not have to remember how her limbs work every morning because of haunting nightmares of being a very different creature in a very different world. But that's all she thinks they are — nightmares — until one night they're all too lucid, and her body on Earth starts to change. Slowly, Hannah's humanity starts to slip away. A story in two worlds, with magic leaking in from one to the other. It's about love, self-acceptance, neurodivergency, and a whole lot of trauma.

The Lone Wanderer

K. Georgiades aka PathofPen

A77/100
Percy was born with little hope of standing out — just another face in a world ruled by bloodlines and class, starting with the lowest Red core and scorned as a waste. But when his bloodline awakens with the power to send clones across worlds, he seizes the chance to shatter expectations. Exploring strange realms, Percy returns with divine techniques, obscure knowledge, and even the seed of a second mana core stolen from an advanced civilization. The elixirs he needs to advance require mastering alchemy himself — and the Great Houses, scheming titans, and invading gods will do anything to crush him before he can prove that even a so-called waste can reach the stars.

Are monsters born or made? Some think monsters are the gods' punishment for wrongdoing. Others blame circumstance. The cynical believe some are simply born broken, able to maim and murder without conscience. They were all wrong. The truth was simpler: she made a choice.

Engineering, Magic, and Kitsune

SteelTrim

A76/100
John Hall did everything right — got his degree, landed his dream job in process engineering. Then, not even a week in, he woke up in a strange fantasy world steeped in Japanese mythology. Driven away by fireball-throwing locals, he retreated to the monster-infested woods, took residence in an abandoned fort, and rebuilt it — while teaching himself magic from scattered tomes. Five years of survival have slowly shaped the stranded engineer into an artificer carving out a more comfortable life, but the isolation is wearing on him. Danger and opportunity arrive together in the form of an injured kitsune. Aiding her drags John into a world in conflict, where his unique knowledge and perspective become his greatest weapons.

Dead Tired

RavensDagger

A76/100
In the distant past, there lived Harold — the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, he waged a cataclysmic war against the gods and then took a nap. An incredibly long nap. He wakes to a world he barely recognizes. No more swords and sorcery, but a universe buzzing with cultivation, celestial sects, and far too many pretentious dialogues about the path to godhood. Harold has one ambition: to slide back into his uninterrupted eternal slumber. But the cacophony of quarreling sects and smug martial artists seems determined to keep him awake. No aspiring deity, no grandiose sect, and certainly no self-righteous martial artist is going to rob him of his beauty sleep.

System Lost: My Own Best Friend

DarkTechnomancer

A76/100
Allison is a normal girl who enjoys spending time with her friends and just generally enjoying college life. So when she wakes up in a strange underground complex full of candles, weird creatures, and no memory of how she ended up there, it's safe to say she's a little out of her element. She has no survival skills, no ability to fight, and no clue what the weird words and numbers floating around in her head are supposed to mean. It seems like a hopeless situation until she finds an unlikely ally — another version of herself, with different knowledge, skills, and personality. Together, they might have a chance of making it out alive. The catch: they still share the same body.

Ends of Magic

Alexander Olson

A76/100
Nathan's life was defined by labs and lectures until an Archmage yanked him into Davrar with a tantalizing offer: master magic in exchange for Earth's scientific secrets. Nathan can't shake the feeling that darker truths lurk beneath the promise. Davrar is a dangerous world of dungeons and monsters, ruled by levels, Talents, and near-infinite progression. Nathan's unique ability to counteract magic gives him an unprecedented edge — making him a beacon of resistance against those who wield it as a weapon of control. Armed with intellect and an emerging power that could dismantle the very foundations of Davrar's society, he emerges not as a student of magic, but as its ultimate adversary: the Antimage.

In the war-torn land of Cyraveil, four heroes strove to overthrow an empire. By cold steel and elemental sorcery they brought peace to a land on the brink of destruction. But when the people sought out their saviors, they had vanished. Matt, Blake, Jen, and Carl — the four mysterious companions who had deposed an insane ruler and saved countless lives — were spirited back in a whirlwind of magic to a sleepy suburb in Mellbridge, Oregon, exactly as they'd been the night they were taken, as if no time had passed. Except only three came back.
