Vincent Logan's day couldn't get any worse: fired from his corporate job, nearly dying of a heart attack, and then suddenly thrust into the body of the recently defeated Dark Lord Morthisal. Trapped in a fantasy world with powers he can barely control and a reputation that precedes him in all the wrong ways, Vince has to navigate a post-war kingdom that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Armed with nothing but his wits, a few magical artifacts, and an insatiable craving for chicken wings, Vince sets out to open the most unlikely business venture for a former evil overlord: a tavern.

The System Seas

RC Joshua

C52/100
Marco trained his whole life to become a captain, maxing every childhood achievement the System would allow — diving, rigging, outrunning couriers up mountains. When classing day finally arrives, the System doesn't make him a captain. It makes him a Gluttonous Marauder. The class has combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain potential — but a reputation so bad he's arrested on the spot. Now on the run in a barely seaworthy smuggler's dinghy, Marco sets out to prove he's not the villain they think he is, if he can out-sail bounty hunters, survive cursed dungeons, and feed enough victories to his ever-growing ship along the way.

Veos, The Story of a Dungeon

V_Storm

C52/100
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.

Twice Lived

obran

In a fraction of a moment, the Earth was no more — destroyed in an accident, killing billions. This is the story of Elm, a regular American born on Earth and given a chance to be reborn on a world of magic, monsters, and dungeons. But for Elm, this is far from the idealistic reincarnation story. He is born into a family of inquisitors — a noble order dedicated to hunting down and killing the "Twice-Lived," the name society gives to those reincarnated with their past-life memories intact. Elm must navigate a world that wants him dead, armed only with knowledge from a life that no longer exists.

Dao of the World Walker

MylanWrites

C52/100
Chen Yang died once and was reborn as a helpless infant in a world ruled not by science but by cultivation, where enlightenment shapes reality and the Dao governs all things. His death and rebirth also awakened a strange ability: the power to travel between worlds — not as a conqueror or hero, but as an observer and learner. Rather than chasing power through violence, Chen Yang walks a rare path: scholar first, cultivating understanding through crafting, quiet contemplation, and deep exploration of each realm he visits. Every world offers new truths that shape his growing comprehension of existence itself.

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.

Legends of Arenia

PA_Parsons

C52/100
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 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.
