The Dark Summoner

Andrei Tkachev

C53/100
When you're the sole surviving noble of a junior lineage, don't expect much of a future — or so some might think. Not Gregor. The way he sees it, being the last of a line means he can dispense with social niceties and do exactly what he wants. And if any unwelcome visitors have a problem with that, this summoner's got one or two surprises for them.

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.

A Real Human Being (Frieren)

Wiererid

C53/100
A human dies, a demon wakes up. Strong, fast, immortal, naturally talented in magic, capable of picking up languages with ease — what's not to love? It's hard to enjoy life when nothing causes real enjoyment anymore, and your emotions are dim, distant, and foreign. This is a story about a man turned demon, trying to find a way to keep himself together and maybe, one day, reclaim the humanity he lost.

EliXiR_

C53/100
You ever had one of those days where you wake up in a strange place, wearing strange clothes, trapped in the body of a young master in a cultivation universe?

If Xian Qigang's powerful family ever discovers what's happened, kicked puppies will be the least of his worries. Fortunately, he has an ally: Meng Yi, Manager and Head Servant of Xian Qigang's estate. With her on his side, he just might survive this madness in one piece.

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.

Shadowcroft Academy For Dungeons

Aaron Michael Ritchey, James Hunter

C53/100
Wounded Army vet Logan Murray thought mimics were the stuff of board games — right up until one ate him. In a flash of snapping teeth, Logan finds himself recruited into the Shadowcroft Academy for Dungeons, the most prestigious interdimensional school dedicated to training the monstrous guardians who protect the Tree of Souls from so-called heroes. As a bottom-tier cultivator, Logan finds himself reincarnated as a lowly fungaloid — a three-foot-tall mass of spongy mushroom with fewer skills than a typical sewer rat. If he's going to survive the grueling academy challenges, he'll need to ace its odd assortment of classes and learn how to turn his unusual form into an asset instead of a liability.

In a militaristic empire where war mages are prized and steam knights celebrated, Mikolai reluctantly signed up to be a steam suit mechanic to avoid conscription into the regular infantry.

It's the end of the world, and all Dave wanted was to eat his eggs in peace. Thanks to a talking bird, he's been transported to another universe with only a few years to either grow powerful enough on his own to save his home, or find someone who can help him do it.

The Archon

Dominic Stal

C53/100
Being a mage isn't all it's cracked up to be — especially when you've witnessed the end of the world and the demise of all you've ever loved. As a particle physicist, William Jenkins is as unsuited to survival on an alien world as any normal thirty-something post-doc could be. Thankfully, he's not alone: with an A.I., magic, scientific curiosity, and most improbably a deity on his side, Will must come to terms with his new reality before otherworldly terrors extinguish all hope. Meanwhile, Effni Naridia, Qaseri Ranger and Guardian of her people, must face her own demons — by undertaking a trial that could determine not only the fate of her city but unravel a mystery aeons in the making.

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.

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.

Unfortunate Transmigrator

Rustpen

C52/100
As far as life-changing events go, suddenly remembering your previous life ranks pretty highly — especially when it makes you realize the world you're in is exactly like the setting of a cultivation novel, and the people around you are just like the characters. Hao Zhen, a lowly outer disciple of the Blazing Light Sect, finds out firsthand what that's like after a series of unfortunate events. His aptitude for cultivation is passable at best, he has no background to speak of, and he lacks any special powers. Faced with cultivation novel shenanigans at every turn, Hao Zhen isn't sure whether his genre savviness and modern knowledge will be enough to keep him alive.

Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, there's no appealing the decision. Around him, demons are excited and ready — for them, the invasion of Berlis, a classic sword-and-sorcery realm, promises a feast of souls and new growth. Hayden's human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, cannon fodder meant to die first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he discovers he was born for the madness.
