The Apocalypse Grinder

Adventuresse

C52/100
Ronan Steele was in a meeting when the apocalypse struck. Now he must defeat hordes of goblins to complete a system tutorial and make it back to an Earth that has been merged with three other planets — a world now overrun by mutated beasts and dangerous invaders. Ronan carries one advantage no one else has: when he dies, he wakes at the start of the tutorial again, keeping his skills and earning an XP boost each time. The further he goes, the more his heritage grows. Driven by a single goal — to bring down the system that forced this tragedy on his world — Ronan grinds through an endless apocalypse, life after life.

The Heart Grows

Damaged

C52/100
Waking up as a dungeon heart in a fantasy world you know nothing about would be bad enough. Doing it with only one chance to get things right makes it worse. The dungeon's new controller must figure out how to manage his growing domain while grappling with a disturbing power: his dungeon acquires minions by transforming sapient beings, leaving them mentally bound to his will. He does his best not to abuse that power — but the story explores what it means for both him and those who find themselves changed, in mind and body, by their new place in his dungeon.

The Homesteader's Almanac

Nerd Knight

C52/100
David has spent his entire life preparing to take over the family farm. Just when he thinks it's finally time, he finds out he's not in the family's plans. As he sets off to plow his last field, he and his 600-horsepower New Holland T9 tractor are whisked through a magical portal to another world. What awaits him is an idyllic frontier homestead — with squatters. He'll have to adjust to a world with magic and a System, figure out fuel for a modern tractor in what amounts to an 1800s setting, deal with unexpected politics, and come to terms with his new guard rabbits. No matter the obstacles, he is going to make his new homestead thrive.

The Matter Destructor

Lucian Cross

C52/100
Hunter Graves was quiet, unreadable — a data analyst with a poker face and a life built on routine. But when a storm of lightning ripped his world apart, Hunter and everyone he knew were thrown into the Multiversal System, a brutal trial of survival where humanity was nothing more than raw material to be tested. Accepting the class of a healer, Hunter should have been relegated to the backline. Instead, his cold pragmatism and honed martial skill make him something far more dangerous — a fighter who refuses to die by the rules others set for him. Level by level, kill by kill, he grows sharper and faster while quietly unraveling the secrets of his skills and the unseen powers who watch from above.

Steamforged Sorcery

Actus

C52/100
The Great War ravaged the earth many years ago. In the years that followed, the world rebuilt by mixing machinery and magic into something new — great blimps belching steam above metal city-states that sprouted like weeds across the desert. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly realizes the world is far larger — and far more deadly — than he ever predicted. No amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking greater strength and claiming the greatest treasures the world has to offer.

First Line of Defense

BenjaminKerei

C52/100
Earth was invaded, conquered, and humanity was subjugated — 400,000,000 people culled in a second, without any chance to fight back. The Peacekeepers claim to be benevolent: they don't want to rule Earth, they just want humanity to stop playing around with AI and genetics. Willing or unwilling, Morgan and the rest of humanity are now members of the Collective. And like every species in the Collective, they have to learn to play the Game. When an AI offers you the opportunity to play the greatest tower-defense game the universe has ever created, you accept — and figure out the rules for survival later. Morgan certainly thinks so. But when aliens are attacking your station and giant six-eyed rats are eating your robotic face, doubts start to creep in.

World of the Changed

Vasily Mahanenko

C51/100
World of the Changed swept across humanity like nothing before — a mobile game with flawless graphics, an intuitive interface, and a viral marketing campaign that had millions waiting for Hour X. Nobody understood the price the game would demand. Mark Derwin, a student, was just another eager fan. What he found when the release hit was a world transformed: humanity split between monsters hungry to kill and players scrambling to survive, with a game owner who will not tolerate anyone advancing too far.
