The Power of Ten Book Four: Dynamo

RE Druin

B74/100
Getting carved off a soul is traumatic. Getting snared by an extradimensional entity for unknown reasons is worse. Waking up in a new world suspiciously familiar to your favorite reading material as a kid is downright crazy — but there have been some big changes to canon. Soul-Shard Vier wakes up in a Marvel Universe with no idea of what to do in the grand scheme. But it's a superhero universe, friendly to everything you might try. Time to stop buying into comic book power stasis and start climbing the scales — and if you get to exploit some still-relevant canon along the way, all the better.

Storm's Apprentice

imperfect-tense

B74/100
In the Antorxian Empire, magical talent can be a curse. Dorian hoped he'd never set eyes on a Reeve — one of Antorx's sorcerer-knights — but as mage scouts they were ruthless, thorough, and impossible to hide from. On the day they arrived in his small village, his quiet life as a scribe's apprentice was over. He would be taken to Windshriek Academy, where harsh conditions and cruel punishments would either turn him into a loyal sorcerer for the Empire, or destroy him. There were no other outcomes, and no magical talent was permitted to foster outside of Antorxian control.

Crime & Defense

NovelNinja

B74/100
For millennia, two galactic empires have been locked in an interstellar cold war. Dissent is considered treason, and neutrality is incomprehensible. As each empire has expanded, newly discovered sentient species have always joined one side or the other — whether they want to or not. In the year 2028, Earth is the latest planet in the path of expansion. It has barely any space capability, no system defenses, and no allies. The nations of Earth must volunteer to be subjugated, or become the latest battleground in a war that began before the construction of the pyramids. No species has ever succeeded in resisting. Except humans have a saying: the best defense is a good offense.

pwtucker

The Archean Empire devours all in its path — toppling kings, razing cities, massacring opposition. Sweeping into the brutal north, a land of cold, ragged mountains, and dark myths, they expect their infamous discipline to crush the white-hot rage of its sea reavers and dreaded berserkers. At first, they are right. But their invasion dislodges a pebble destined to become an avalanche. Forced into exile, Skadi Styrbjörnsdóttir begins a journey that brings her to the attention of the gods, arms her with legendary weapons, and sets her against immortal foes. Wielding her ever-growing wyrd, she seeks to avenge her people — and one day destroy the Archean Empire.

Wage Slave to Archmage

Mike Blackmoor

B74/100
Finn was a Senior Engineer at Google. He died at his desk at 3 AM and woke up penniless in the gutter of Cinderhold — a brutal world where humanity sits at the bottom of the food chain. His magic talent is non-existent. His mana is pathetic. Then the System loads, giving him the Genesis Editor: a tool that lets him optimize spells the way a programmer debugs code. But the System isn't free — it runs on money. To survive Abyssal horrors and corrupt mages, Finn needs gold, and he'll brew black-market tonics and exploit dungeon glitches to get it. They call it cheating. He calls it a feature.

Forced into an unexpected coexistence on the small island, the two dissimilar women must navigate opposing ideologies, the interference of mortal and divine outsiders, and emotions neither anticipated. As their bond deepens, the gods themselves take notice — and gods rarely make things simpler.

The Arcane Emperor

Aternus

B74/100
Rainer, an amateur arcanist and college student, attempted to create a spell far surpassing the magic he inherited from his grandfather. The interference of an unknown event during casting hurled him through space and time — into a world where status screens are accepted as normal and class distinctions are matters of life and death. Leveling beyond farmer or peddler requires years of brutal training. Goblins are no fodder, orcs fill children's nightmares, and a dragon? You might as well move countries. Rainer, however, arrives with the rare and powerful class of Arcanist — and an insatiable hunger for greater heights.

Playing as a small goblin herbalist in the game Boundless Realm, Timothy finds himself rising far beyond a simple tester role, navigating a world where millions of players have it out for him and the game's secrets run much deeper than anyone suspects.
