Primal Wizardry

TK523

C45/100
Kole always wanted to be a wizard — a dream that grew into an obsession after his parents disappeared on an adventure. Hailed as a prodigy, he had a head start, until his mother's magic manifested after he had already committed to wizardry. Now his one powerful magical ability — invisibility — holds him back from the greater heights he craves. After five years struggling to overcome his blocked wizardry, and with his parents declared legally dead, Kole faces a choice: stay home and train as a Mirage Knight, or set out alone to seek answers at the Academy of Illunia, the center of all magical learning.

As Liam rises from penniless player to King of Galea, he must contend with unreliable allies, relentless enemies, and a goddess who has promised to be his destruction. The line between the virtual world and Earth blurs as artificial intelligences pursue their own ambitions across both realms.

Lifeweaver: A Healer LitRPG

Magic. Classes. Levels. Earth is no longer just a planet. With nothing left to lose, Luke becomes something vanishingly rare: a healer.

Maradina

C45/100
Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. Born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with the distant war.

But when leviathans attack her ship and strand her in the middle of the sea, she's forced to pick a class from a system. Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home — but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has less than a one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying.

The Lich King Reincarnates as a Baby

Of Rantings and Ramblings

C45/100
Lord Dread was the first lich in history and the greatest magical prodigy the world has ever seen. The Gods themselves feared his potential and banished him for it. They should have been more thorough. After freeing himself from a prison of countless millennia, Lord Dread finds his powers diminished and his body that of a baby girl — born to an aristocratic family. With a fresh chance to re-learn magic better than he taught himself originally, his sights are set on regaining his former glory. He must learn this strange new era, rebuild the dark empire he once used to challenge even the Gods, and take revenge on the fearful divinity that struck him down. This would be easier if girls could inherit land — but Lord Dread has never let a little thing like that get in his way.

Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.

On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened — granted a Trait of unknown power, a Title of unimaginable weight, and an Item of untold worth.

Tower of Cards 2: Runeseeker

JPwrites

D43/100
Almost half a century has passed since prison ships discovered a mysterious tower off the coast of Australia. Monarchies, republics, and trading empires built a city around it to contain the monsters spilling from its rune-covered structure. The few who dared climb it learned the magic of Gaia's runic cards. Now people delve the tower for fame, fortune, and power. Diya Sen climbs hoping to find clues about his missing brother and solve Gaia's mysteries — but the warring noble houses stand in his way. Only allies and powerful cards will help him function outside the nobility's control. Not all cards are made equal, and as an ordinary man, sources of power are outside his reach. Perhaps the talents of a Spell Thief will prove more useful.

Theft of Decks

Lars Machmüller

In the frontier town of Isarn, Chase will never be more than the lowly Darkborn thief he is.

Losing a hand to brutal punishment only fueled his obsession to get access to reality-bending cards. Nobody cares where you came from when you're rich enough. Facing established powers, churches, and age-old prejudices, Chase and his crew must fight back — and if the Lightborn won't share, sometimes the only way to get dealt a better hand is to steal the whole deck.
