Magic Eater

Sean Oswald

S89/100
Found as a child and raised an orphan with no memory of his past, Tad has always had a strange ability to smell magic. When adventurers exploit that gift to drag him into a dungeon far beyond his level, he discovers something stranger still: he can eat magic, using absorbed mana to bend enchantments and forge powerful gear. Now Tad must uncover the secrets of his heritage and find his place in the wider multiverse. He knows he's a man—but a demon insists he's something far more.

Aura Overload

PlumParrot

S88/100
In a crumbling empire ruled by cybernetic immortals, royal bodyguard Hector Finalis was betrayed, branded a traitor, and left for dead. Two centuries later, his lost neurodeck resurfaces in a scavenger haul, and he awakens in a fragile new body — a relic haunted by fractured memories and a blood oath most in this decayed age have forgotten. To survive, Hector must rebuild his aura system from nothing, forcing potentia through a process that can forge flesh and sharpen the mind — or shatter the unworthy. One overload could rip his unenhanced body apart. Bound to criminals and unexpected allies, Hector must claw his way back to power as he uncovers the truth behind his fall, all while struggling to master a rage that could destroy him unless he finds something worth living for.

Dakota Krout

Cal is a Dungeon Core — a soul forced against his will into a magical stone. With the help of an energetic Wisp, he grows a dungeon around himself to draw in new sources of power.

When a threat he doesn't fully comprehend bares its teeth, Cal is determined to survive at any cost. Unfortunately for adventurers, the only way for him to do so is to consume anyone who enters his depths. Meanwhile, a young sheep-herder turned Noble walks his own path of cultivation — one that will intertwine with Cal's in ways neither can foresee.

Mage Errant

John Bierce

S87/100
Hugh of Emblin is convinced he is the worst student the Academy at Skyhold has ever seen — he can barely cast spells, and those he does tend to fail explosively. When an unusual mage chooses him as an apprentice anyway, his life begins to change. Across the continent of Anastis, Hugh and his friends are pulled into ever-larger conflicts: deadly labyrinths, desert pirates, traitors on the Skyhold Council, the return of a city banished from the world five centuries ago, and a full-scale war that threatens to consume everything. At the center of it all is the Tongue Eater — an ancient weapon capable of devouring entire languages, whose rediscovery could mean madness and death for the entire continent.

We Hunt Monsters

Aaron Oster

S87/100
Keith has died twelve times. After making a deal with a mysterious immortal, he was sent to a new world in hopes of gaining a better life for his family — but the deal had no expiration date, no matter how many times he died. After his dozenth death, Keith renegotiates: he is sent to the world of Raiah, filled with monsters and a system of magic similar to the fantasy roleplaying games his brother used to enjoy. Completing a quest to hunt the most dangerous monsters on the planet is the price he must pay to reclaim his old life. All of his experiences from previous lives translate to Skills — which is fortunate, because if Keith fails this time, the price will be far steeper.

He must now survive the Iron City, enemies in the frozen North, and clandestine traitors within the rusting Empire itself — driven above all by revenge.
