Apocalypse Arena

JPwrites

C53/100
The stronger his opponent, the harder Nil hits. Saving an innocent from a drug-crazed superhuman should have left him broken — instead it wins the Nexus's attention and an opportunity to make a difference. Nil is done feeling small and watching his family scrape by. Apocalypse Arena holds the key: a multiverse-spanning battleground where champions fight to keep the Scourge at bay. Pain, death, and heartbreak await all who run the gauntlets — but Nil has what it takes to grapple his way to the top. The multiverse is watching. He'll give them a show.

Hidden Class: Pacifist

Cassio Ferreira

C53/100
Roth used to be a successful gamer with a short fuse and a nasty temper — until his rage cost him his friends, job, family, and freedom. After four years in prison, he leaves as a more peaceful man. But sins have a way of catching up. When Roth finds himself locked inside the new MMORPG AstroTerra with no way out, his refusal to hurt anyone or anything inside the game becomes both his greatest constraint and his defining principle. His journey through a sci-fi fantasy cyberpunk world becomes a story of how a man can achieve success on his own terms without compromising what he believes.

Bunny Girl Evolution

Sir Bedivere the Mad

C53/100
Elise was always mocked for her big ears and buck teeth. She tried to overcome the mockery, only to work herself to death — and wake up as a big-eared, buck-toothed rabbit. With nothing but an almost-worthless System Assistant to help her, she must survive a world full of magic and monsters. An ominous [Mark of Fate] skill keeps putting her in harm's way, and everything from little slimes to giant wolves seems to want her dead. Can she navigate a new world that seems to have it out for her specifically?

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C53/100
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal. Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.

FFO

Rachel Aaron

C53/100
In the real world, Tina Anderson is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR game Forever Fantasy Online she's Roxxy — the respected leader of a top-tier raiding guild. Her brother James is a college drop-out struggling with debt, but in FFO he's famous for completing every quest and collecting the rarest items. When FFO becomes real, wounds stop being virtual, monsters turn cunning, and death might be forever. Separated across a much larger and deadlier world, their only advantage is the skill they spent years building in the game.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C53/100
Nero has been transported to a world built on fantasy instead of physics — a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation, with competent administration and opinions based on rational argument. He's not prepared for any of it. While the world is big and full of characters, Nero would mostly prefer to ignore what's going on around him and focus on learning magic. Allies will assist him and mentors will guide him, but the leveling system he keeps trying to avoid turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. A slow-burn story following an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold, forced to grow up by circumstance and the people around him.

Legends of Arenia

PA_Parsons

C53/100
The Sullivans are a normal family — until the walls of their home disappear on Thanksgiving and they are transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn't mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Too bad he already faked their deaths. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness, armed only with their Tomes — books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests — the family must discover a strength they never knew they had if they're going to survive long enough to find each other.

The Turning

Kenny King

C53/100
About four weeks ago the world simply turned. One day: iPhones, Mickey Mouse, hamburgers. The next: magic and monsters. And humans became players — with levels, items, and classes. Pretty ironic considering how many times parents told their kids to quit gaming and experience real life. Then real life grabbed everyone by the throat, and it was the gamers who were prepared. A story about a guy, his best friend, a loyal golden retriever, a little girl, and her beloved cat — plus copious amounts of gore, legendary weapons, and a lich king who needed slaying.

Vasily Mahanenko

Surviving in a game world is easy — until the game is your real life, your enemies want you dead, and your own class couldn't care less about your survival. Paladin Yaropolk must navigate a world where pragmatism and personal gain are the only currencies that matter, wrestling with whether to become like everyone else or hold onto something more.

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C53/100
A new Dungeon comes into being beneath the ground of Nerian-Silex. Following its strange instincts and system, it expands, grows, and tests those who enter its domain. Yet something about this Dungeon is different — something it doesn't know itself, yet instantly noticeable to those beyond its border. That strangeness may be the key to breaking through the barrier of nine, or the spark that ignites a continent-spanning war. For now, though, it is busy carving out an underground castle and has little time to listen to the cacophony overhead.

Charles Dean

C53/100
Lars wakes each morning to a voice in his head urging him to kill — claiming she's just handing him quests to help him level. He ignores it. The cultivators who bullied him his whole life are as far above him as gods, and killing isn't in his nature anyway. Then a murderous sect descends on his village, slaughters everyone he knows, and takes his mother as a slave. Lars has no choice but to trust the voice, complete her quests, and find a way to grow strong enough to get her back.

Tismon

The problem: he must now balance life as both an Aspirant and an Admin, and he's doomed if either side finds out he's not who he says he is.

Dungeon Core? Nah, I Think I'll Just Get Super-Wealthy Instead

Maltenai

C53/100
The cycle is simple: a Dungeon Core is born, seeks power, accumulates wealth, descends into darkness, and is eventually quelled by adventurers. All cores desire power. This one seems to have it backwards. It has no desire to rule, enslave, or conquer — it wants to start a corporation. When money is power, what greater weapon is there than capitalism? Join a dungeon core on its journey to earn fat stacks while going to absurd lengths to avoid being evil.

Imma be a speedster

UnproperMadman

C53/100
Every self-respecting basement dweller knows what to do when fictional monsters become real and people gain the ability to level up: figure out an overpowered build, grind, snowball, and become ridiculously powerful. Focus on yourself. Survive, thrive, become a god. Dennis has other priorities. Beating hopelessness with overwhelming fervour, he faces a system apocalypse with an unhinged yet charismatic determination — and an absolutely unbalanced power set that puts faster-than-light speed on the table. Things will get dark. But Dennis never stops pushing forward.
