Axiom of Infinity: Souleater

TSeris

B62/100
"They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. What then are we to think of it when the gods themselves steal our ideas on how the universe should work?" Axiom of Infinity follows several travelers from Earth as they attempt to make new lives in a world where RPG mechanics are as innate as the laws of physics, dungeons lurk everywhere, and the gods themselves appear to be playing a very different game — one with unknown stakes and strange alliances. Blessed by two gods and cursed by a third, one man finds himself at the center of their machinations. The unsuspecting natives of this world are about to learn to live alongside a bunch of min-maxing, power-gaming, spreadsheet-wielding gamers who do what they do best: break things.

Hoard

Webbonomicon

B62/100
Kaln wasn't even trying to slay the dragon — it was just in the way of his revenge. But he did, and it led to an obstacle greater than the dread dragon himself: his three widows. Declaring Kaln their new husband by right of conquest, the dragons tempted him with surprisingly beautiful humanoid forms, a palatial lair, and vast riches. Kaln couldn't refuse. Unfortunately, his beautiful new brides are vain, greedy, lazy, selfish, manipulative, violent, arrogant, and generally dragons. They are ancient, incredibly powerful, smarter than him, and only proposed the arrangement to use him in their own schemes. But sometimes the people who are the most difficult to love prove most worth the effort — and when you've upset the world's balance of power by killing an ancient dragon, it's handy to be married to three horrible monsters.

Words of Power

Shami Stovall

B62/100
In the Tze Empire, spirits and demons rule the wilds, but Ring Warlocks control civilization. For Rimon, the son of a courtesan and the lowest in society, Ring Warlocks seem like gods — each with their own magic drawn from Titans, doing whatever they please regardless of how it affects the prefectures they rule. When a chance encounter places one of the ancient and powerful rings in Rimon's hands, everything changes. Suddenly he is no longer at the fringes of power — he is a Ring Warlock granted his own territory. Determined to make his prefecture thrive, he must contend with jealous rivals, demons seeking his ring, and forces he cannot yet name.

Madness Re-Incarnate

Travis Bagwell

B62/100
Nyx was born Hollow — an empty vessel in a world of spirits, normally a death sentence. Somehow he survived. In a previous life he did something reckless: he threw his memories into the Flow from which all spirits return, sending himself a message across the boundary of death. Now those memories have found him. A different kind of reincarnation story — one that isn't easy — featuring a slow burn to power, a gradual system introduction, a loot-based skill modification system, and a cast of deeply strange companions.

In a single night, Thorne loses everything — and discovers the truth about his heritage. He is an Aetherborn, tied to an ancient power that others would kill to control.

An Unbound Soul

Cathfach

B61/100
When Peter's too-close encounter with a truck sends him to another world, he lands in what seems like a perfect fantasy land — magic, elves, a hyperactive catgirl neighbor, and a System for earning skills and leveling up. But the world is almost suspiciously nice. Set a few hundred years after the events of A Lonely Dungeon, this is a slow-paced slice-of-life story about an Earthling falling into a rebuilt civilization and the struggles both he and the world's self-proclaimed protector face in trying to understand each other.

This Venerable Demon is Grossly Unqualified

Turniper

B61/100
Elder Hu Xin, the Crimson Saint of the Pathless Night Sect, is missing — not physically, his body is still walking the sect like he owns the place. But behind his eyes, a stranger is panicking, because his transmigration experience came with no instructions and none of Elder Hu's centuries of memories. Fellow elders, disciples, and dogs of the orthodoxy all have expectations about who Hu Xin is — and Hu Xin has no idea what those expectations are, let alone how to meet them. He doesn't even know how to work his own cultivation, let alone nurture someone else's. Shielded by audacity and armed with bullshit, this newly venerable and grossly unqualified demon is making it up as he goes.

B61/100
Matthias Stonebreaker is tormented every day.

Supported by his cursed brother and younger sister, he will walk the path of shadow and death itself. But he must be careful — in this world, even death could die.

When misfortune drags the odd goblin Stryg from his forest home into the ruthless city of Hollow Shade, he must adapt to a world that only sees him as a dimwit savage. Stryg finds himself embroiled in a school of magic where an aristocrat's smile hides deceit and the simplest remark may lead to death threats.

As he navigates the muddled grey waters of the Ebon Realm, he will learn that some monsters lurk everywhere.

His Soul Is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai

The Cabbage Preacher

B61/100
The land of Gemeinplatz is filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers, and heroes — most of them transported from Earth and blessed with cheat skills. On the surface, it's a perfect power-fantasy world where even the most ordinary person can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Yet beneath this "Gemeinplatzer Dream" is a disgusting truth. To satisfy the needs of heroes who can't function like normal humans, a lucrative slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. Demi-humans labor in harems and mansions, treated as less than people by a ruling class with every incentive to keep the system going. In a world where the oppressors are overpowered and the odds are impossible, the hope for the enslaved has a name: John Brown. This time, he'll finish what he started.

Law of Shadows

Andur

B61/100
Mercenaries are causing trouble in the city — hunting someone, whatever the cost. It's not that the demon lord particularly cares about the lowly humans who died, but letting it slide would set a bad example. The hero would save the victims and protect them while the enemies keep coming. The demon lord has a simpler solution. They aren't calling him the demon lord for nothing.

The Shatterfist

Wolfe Locke

B61/100
They called him Sven, the Shatterfist. A legend. A hero. And he's finally returned home after a decade of battle. It's time to start over. Settle down. Retire. But for someone like Sven, life isn't what it used to be — adventuring isn't what it used to be. Things have changed. He's changed. The world has changed. A cozy, character-driven story about found family, personal growth, and what comes after the adventure is over.
