Theft of Decks

Lars Machmüller

D42/100
In the frontier town of Isarn, Chase will never be more than the lowly Darkborn thief he is. Banned from training, banned from acquiring better cards — if the Lightborn had their way, he'd be banned from life itself. But Chase and his friends have determination. 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.

Throne Hunters

pwtucker

Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him — until he enters the angelic dungeon beneath Flutic and receives a demon's dark blessing.

The dungeon reshapes him with every victory — but at what cost? A slow-burn progression fantasy built around a 100-level dungeon with a unique magic system drawing power from the consumed essence of a fallen celestial being.

Chloe the Zombie: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

Evil Lemon

D42/100
Being a zombie used to be boring. Chloe walked around the dungeon, got chopped up by adventurers, and respawned — over and over, until one day she woke up. Now she has smarts and a taste for freedom. Why stay in a stinky dungeon when there's a whole world to explore? Gods are stirring up chaos and treating the world like a game, and powerful factions are moving to stop them — but Chloe is mostly just here to eat brains.

Immortality Starts With Investment

RighteousEgg

D42/100
A lost soul from Earth crosses over to a cultivation world and finds himself in the body of a member of a small Qi Refining family. The original owner had poor cultivation talent and wasted his resources on a female cultivator. Fortunately, the newcomer has a system: as long as he gives gifts to that same female cultivator, the system returns tenfold, a hundredfold, or even thousands of times the value back to him. Ye Chen would never admit he was a simp. He's just making an investment.

At twenty years old, Nicholas has lived his life to fulfil a vow.

Not all plans survive. When heathen invaders upend everything, Nicholas swears another promise and finds himself alone in the wilderness of the old continent, surrounded by enemies both monster and human. Drawing on ancient powers that may finally provide the answers he sought, he must tread carefully — because he may turn into something that even monsters fear.

The Outborn Accord

Atlande

Kieran watched wild outborns tear his father apart when he was a child. Now he's supposed to bond with one. Highfall College trains callers who share their minds with these creatures of storm and fire — but Kieran can't do any of it. No Arts, no bond, just fists and a mark under his skin that burns when the world goes wrong. Between a lightning-happy rival who thinks everything is a competition, a fire girl with zero impulse control, and the most chaotic first-year cohort Highfall has ever filed, Kieran might survive long enough to figure out what he is. His first expedition into the Outerbound is coming whether he's ready or not. He's not ready.

Indomitable Prey

OCRAuthor

D41/100
Lamb dies. That part is simple. Waking up naked and hogtied in a forest full of armed strangers is another matter entirely. Within hours he is given a knife, a few rushed directions toward distant civilization, and left alone in mountains filled with creatures powerful enough to kill him outright. If he wants to live long enough to matter, he will need to grow stronger fast. Power is measured in levels and skills, and the combat class he needs can only be claimed at level fifteen — if the wilderness doesn't kill him first. So he runs, climbs, and learns to turn terrain, instinct, and sheer stubborn endurance into his only real advantages. Far beyond the horizon, powerful figures are already beginning to take an interest in the God-Touched newcomer.

The City and the Dungeon

Matthew Schmidt

D40/100
The City is an immense metropolis of crystal spires and wondrous magic. Beneath it lies the Dungeon — a vast underground world, source of endless treasure guarded by grotesque and deadly monsters. No one knows where the Dungeon came from, or why. Anyone who dares its dangers must first be transformed into a delver, a quasi-immortal creature defined entirely by numbers. Yet the immortality offered is illusionary: without consuming the crystal found only within the Dungeon, a delver will inevitably die. One young immigrant braves the Dungeon to send money home to his family — and finds much, much more.
