Sunspot

yootie

C54/100
Seven years ago, the Frozen Flame brought magic to Earth — but not to Dalton, who received only scars. Now a lonely shut-in known as "Ezzen," he's resigned himself to an online life of secondhand magic and fanboying over the superhuman Vaetna. When fate splinters and magic finally finds him, it's the best day of his life — and the worst. He suddenly becomes a resource in a cold war over magical power, hunted by paramilitary organizations and Flame-worshipping cults alike. Worse, the reality of being a flamebearer is nothing like the apotheosis he dreamed of: it is cruel and twisted, the bloody path of monsters.

For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

LostInTranscription

C54/100
Marcus saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the king is old and Marcus is an only child — hard decisions must be made, and no one expected anything of him beyond his skill with the arcane. They were right to underestimate him. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, that all his arcane skill did not make him immortal, and that running from problems does not make them go away.

Lianthorn Belladonna could have been so many things — an artist, a mage, a gardener. Instead, his family sealed his future, trapping him in a life of scheming, poison, and murder. On the cusp of completing his poisonous masterpiece, he makes a choice that changes everything. He flees the gilded cage of their family manor and seeks refuge in a quiet frontier town, where the name Belladonna means nothing. With his family's infamous scarlet-bound recipe book hidden away, he attempts to forget the toxins and discover the simple joy of helping people. Out on the frontier — and in the company of a red-scaled Draconian carpenter with fire powers — 'helping people' will require all his skills, including the alchemy he worked so hard to escape.

Agoraphobic Dragon

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.
