Hundred Kingdoms

Michael R. Miller

C57/100
Jack Kross only wanted to play the game. Now he's fighting for his life. When a mysterious hacker takes control of Hundred Kingdoms, Jack is trapped inside the fantasy VR world along with millions of other players — but in a worse predicament than most. He's cornered in the very tower the terrorists have seized as their base, the only free player left within its walls, while in the real world his body lies in a sweltering room with no relief coming. Playing a low-level profession-based Scavenger class, Jack must craft gear, set traps, and forge uneasy alliances with a deadly dungeon master and an AI he can't fully trust — racing against time to save himself and the millions of players held hostage.

The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game

Michael Dale

C57/100
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world's deepest dungeon — an immortal ancient dragon, and terribly bored. His only amusement comes from scrying on adventurer teams in the upper levels. When he hears of a new magic item called a Virmo that projects one's mind into a grand-scale game, he dispatches a minion to acquire one. He logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of "science" and "technology," and embarks on a new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class.

His next: entering hell.

Chronicle

Kevin Murphy

Chronicle has become more than a game for governments, businesses, and players alike. When Corbin Landrick finally gets his hands on a ChronPod, he jumps headfirst into his second life. While he struggles to plant both feet firmly on the ground in a world of magic and monsters, he finds out that virtual reality is what you make of it.

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100
To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Superheroes and Magic Invasions

Belial666

C57/100

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

Starblood

Roman Prokofiev, Sofia Shcherbakova

C56/100
When the ark began emergency jettisoning colonists, one got unlucky three times: his capsule was shot down above a forbidden Circle, crashed next to the White Devil's tomb, and he climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune — but had he left it alone, he might have remained a normal person. Now someone with a Slate, Attributes, and Runes isn't a typical colonist from Earth in a world that's far from ordinary — especially when he has a voice in his head. A spinoff set in the same universe as Project Stellar, Starblood follows those who escaped Earth's catastrophe into deep space.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C56/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

Ancient Being Predecessor of the Primordial Era

Z. Robert Nights

C56/100
Being mistaken for an Ancient Predecessor usually results in heavenly benefits — not for James Anderson. Thrown into an isolated training realm with no tutorial and no guidance, he spends eons alone, kept sane only by system notifications and rewards. When even those stop, he jumps off the precipice. A tear in reality deposits him into a cultivation world gone awry, where demons and evil cultivators dominate and the righteous cower in caves. James is dragged into petty squabbles and the lives of the last remaining Hu family members, all while navigating with the belief that he isn't actually that strong.
