Revenge of the Sorcerer King

Matthew Peed

C52/100
Oberon Blackphoenix nearly unified all the races of his world before betrayal ended his life — a sword through the chest from a trusted advisor. His final spell, altered by a legendary artifact, cursed the entire world. Now, over a thousand years later, a certain sorcerer wakes again. And he is not happy. Alessa has spent years on the run, never staying in one place for long. When she arrives at a site connected to the secret that has haunted her entire life, she may have found the one thing that lets her survive the consequences.

An innocent bystander caught in a shootout between mobsters and spawned monsters, the protagonist is granted the power to bring forth creatures from the void when the System arrives and the world ends.

The Dark Summoner

Andrei Tkachev

C51/100
When you're the sole surviving noble of a junior lineage, don't expect much of a future — or so some might think. Not Gregor. The way he sees it, being the last of a line means he can dispense with social niceties and do exactly what he wants. And if any unwelcome visitors have a problem with that, this summoner's got one or two surprises for them.

Lord of EXP Farming

D. Pidge

C49/100
The 42nd Merging arrives, mass-transporting every human to a hostile new world with a System. Everyone must choose a Class, and Quest directives compel them to climb leaderboards — including one for most kills of other people. Jordan isn't anyone special before the Merging, but the new start equalizes the playing field. He must exploit his versatile class to overcome powerful monsters, opportunistic killers, and hostile alien species who share the same leaderboards and the same final prize. For Jordan, surviving isn't enough. He must establish dominion over the new world — defending and expanding his territory so that he alone reigns above all.

An AI sworn to protect humanity, stranded on a world of magic and monsters, ready to unleash the fury of the universe on those who would threaten her humans. Sapphiria was performing her duties as a fleet admiral of the Terran Federation when she was caught in a hyperspace anomaly and crashlanded on a foreign world. Cut off from all reinforcements, she has only the contents of her escape pod and her expertise as one of the Navy's best engineers. Luckily, her pod is a miniature factory equipped to build an entire colony from scratch. But she soon faces a more immediate problem: the humans of this world are threatened by an undead invasion — the horror born from the fall of a powerful Empire of necromancers, now threatening the entire world. It will be their funeral.

Cerberus Cards

John Stovall

C45/100
It's Drop Night — the one night every decade when the gods hand out cards to a lucky few. If you get a deck, you're a deckbearer capable of wondrous feats within the Great Game system: controlling powerful monsters and summoning mantles to fight alongside your beasts. Ethan Wolfe, top enforcer for the Grimm family mob, has already been overlooked twice. When he finally gets a deck, there's no time to celebrate — the rival gang has six deckbearers and they're cutting in on the family's trade. And things might get worse when everyone figures out he received an ultra-rare card.

Pulled from the point of death and thrust into a horde-mode-style survival game, Benny White's odds aren't looking too great. To make matters worse, an eldritch entity named 'Dave' has tasked him with destroying the very System that now controls his fate. Benny's experience as a lab tech grants him a rare Splicer Class that lets him repurpose the genetic material of slain enemies into augments for himself — bone claws, blood-bullet turrets, and skeletal hydra heads. There's also his Flesh Golem summon, a six-foot mound of muscle called Meat. The entire galaxy is watching. Welcome to the Game of Souls, where the only prize is to survive.

Cowboy Necromancer

Harmon Cooper

D42/100
Sterling Monedero is not your typical necromancer. Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the skyscraper-sized alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, he just wants to farm peppers in peace. He tried the revenge thing five years ago and failed miserably. But when the Godwalkers return for their own revenge — and Killbilly bandits show up to impose a pepper tax — the tough-as-bones loner decides enough is enough. It's time to reassemble the team and put an end to the alien threat once and for all. Set in a richly imagined post-apocalyptic New Mexico, this LitRPG western blends superpowered mancers, terrifying skeletal hybrids called amalgamations, and a heavy dose of Southwestern mysticism.

A Demon's Core

Luesatora

D40/100
It is a strange experience, waking up without any idea of who or even what you are. But that is precisely the situation for a pink, sentient, crystalline orb waking up in an old, dilapidated building in the middle of a seemingly abandoned city. While investigating its surroundings, it accidentally summons a small demon-like creature. She seems friendly enough — so why not summon a few more? Unfortunately, they find themselves caught on the sidelines of a devastating war that threatens to pull them in. Mind your own business, avoid danger, don't pick fights. Easy enough — except that even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble has a way of finding you.

Project Chrysalis

John Gold

D38/100
Chrysalis is the project of the century: a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG where government orphans are placed in virtual families to receive the love and upbringing they never had. It's designed to mold children into healthy adults. Something went very wrong for twelve-year-old Anji. Instead of loving parents and simple lessons, he finds himself in Hell — performing bloody rituals, evading demons, and fighting to survive the nine circles of the game's most forsaken place. Betrayed for the sake of someone else's plan, he has nothing left but rage and the knowledge that the truth behind Project Chrysalis is far darker than anyone realizes.

New Game Minus

Sarah Lin

D38/100
Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer — and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game, and now he was one of them. The problem: Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body only hits things. He relied on undead minions, but now must depend on other people. And strange boxes keep appearing in his vision describing the world in unfamiliar terms. To survive, he'll need to learn the truth about himself — and that means acting like an adventurer, at least for now.

The Lich Queen

YoruTsubasa

D37/100
When Sepharin K. Vrost awakens in an unfamiliar world, she's no longer the ruler of Necron's eternal night — but the Warden of a crumbling northern border in a frozen land besieged by monsters. Burdened with a new mortal body, she must wield forbidden necromancy and frost magic to resurrect the fallen as undead soldiers. Her people despise her methods, and her estranged brother demands she relinquish her power. Sepharin has only one option: conquer death itself and defend her realm. After all, true queens never rest in peace. In the second arc, as she enters the Tomb of the Dread Empress, war with the orcs reaches its climax and long-imprisoned powers break free. Inheriting a Dreadworking Stronghold sets Sepharin on the path of rebuilding her legion — machinery capable of levelling cities, flying towers, and beacons that illuminate the frozen skies. But old forgotten souls stir in the deepest dark, and the powers ruling the world have begun to notice.

When an accident claims his life, Gareth finds himself reborn on Acamida — a world where sorcerers draw magical power from a deck of cards, summoning monsters and flinging spells. It's just a shame he's found himself with the weakest cards around: goblins. Joined by a fallen goddess, a deposed demon king, and a surly local, Gareth sets out into a realm where experience points and levels are very real. As he finds new cards and grows in power, the rumbles of war stir in the west — and if he's going to survive, he'll need to master his deck and find the strength hidden within his goblin allies.

Ashton was dragged away and forced into subservience when the System invaded, made to handle all the little tasks a terrible creature couldn't be bothered with. When that world fell to the Apocalypse, Ashton returned home to just moments after he left — but he couldn't escape. The System followed him. As Earth closes in on its end, Ashton, armed with nothing but the knowledge forced upon him, becomes a Summoner. Elementals, spirits, fairies, even demons — he will call them to his side, defeat the monsters swarming Earth, and put the Council responsible for bringing the System in its place. Most importantly, he intends to save humanity in the process.

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer

AdvonKoulthar

D32/100
To be taken to another world — isn't that what nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their knowledge of how these situations usually go and seize control of their own destiny. Unfortunately, this man arrived as his new character in the VRMRPG Underworld of Armok — at Level 1, with no status window, and no grand power to ease the way. In safety there are few benefits; only by taking risks far beyond his level can one proceed. Transported to another world, he wants to do good and be a hero. There's just one caveat: he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.

The Academy

From rags to liches. A street-rat will claw her way to the top of the Academy. Orphaned in the war, Lina has survived two years on the streets by her wits and picking pockets. She targets a black-robed wizard and lifts a bone-white slab from him — and something ancient and dead feels her do it. The wizard tracks her down and drags her north to the Academy. No one has ever connected with the artifact before. Talent like hers can't be allowed to go to waste. Now Lina has to survive snide teachers, entitled students, and a necromancy curriculum she is months behind on. The problem is that the deathless thing she woke up isn't done with her either. And it has been waiting a very long time.
