The Pinnacle Warrior

No_Creative_Name

C47/100
Her mother a Spellblade, her father a Talismartist — so why did Astrid have to be a Warrior? Inspired by her mother's tales of defending Humanity's Bulwark, she sets out to become a delver in the Dungeon, earning enough levels and experience to protect her borders and countrymen. Her plan didn't work out, and now she's all alone — no planned allies, no family support. With just her skills and armor, and not a lick of magic to her name, Astrid Warrior intends to show the world exactly what a nonmagical fighter can do.

The Elder Lands

B. Salem

C47/100
Lucan is the son of a landed knight in a kingdom surrounded by diverse threats. As he comes of age, he must make peace with both the tasteful and distasteful aspects of his responsibilities — and find a way to either tame or accept his own ambitions. In a realm where an underground labyrinth births monsters hungry to climb into the world of men, it is dangerous to be a warrior and difficult to be a noble. Lucan must navigate mortal peril and political intrigue if he is to survive — and perhaps someday thrive.

[Psychokinetic] Eyeball Pulling

FreeID

Astrid, a mischievous noble teen, has trained her whole life to become a magic swordswoman and explore the ancient cities preserved beneath the waves — remnants of an age before the ocean swallowed the world. When an ancient monster assaults humanity's last bastion, a floating ship-city, she awakens her System early. She isn't the warrior she expected to become. She is a Psychokinetic Mage. With Spawn-infested oceans, pirates, and monsters lurking in the submerged cities below, Astrid will have to master psychic powers all the way to the apex — and discover that her world is far larger than anyone imagined.

No Place for Hope

M. E. Cuartas

C46/100
In a cosmos fractured into human subspecies — shaped by extreme worlds and locked into brutal caste and race-purity hierarchies — an RPG-based System reigns supreme. Its second law forbids all automation: every machine, every spell, every tool must be guided by a living hand. Hope is a street-raised orphan from a dead-rock wasteland. Hurled onto an Earth-like planet full of grass, clouds, and color he has never seen, he must heed the ping of system messages, hunt and be hunted, and level up in a place built to test him. The planet-side survival arc gives way, in time, to the spacefaring world of feudal space pirates that defines his fate.

The Houndsman

J. Pal

C46/100
After serving two terms in the Iron Army's Building Division, Flint Woodson is done with it all. With his four-legged friend at his side, he wants nothing more than to find a remote settlement, work as a guard or builder, and find a wife. But the realm is at war. The Fae are sick of humankind violating their treaties, and their Wyld armies are taking to the fields. When the Diskverse sends Flint a Life Quest — reawaken the Sleeping Fort, protect the village of Lea's Slumber, and give the Champion of Equilibrium time to grow — saying no isn't an option.

Ebony's Fable

Ever Frost

C46/100
Ebony never faced any real problem in life. He could see his entire future mapped out — graduate, stable job, family, old age. Boring, but certain. Then, on the way back from a job interview, he found himself in a forest. Freezing. A metre-tall boar charging straight at him. Not ideal for someone whose years of training had always felt purposeless in the modern world. Transported to a world of swords and magic, Ebony must figure out how to survive — and what kind of person he wants to become — in a place where his instincts might finally have some use.

Merchant Crab

C46/100
Balthazar was just a random giant crab enjoying his life in a fantasy world full of bothersome human adventurers — until he accidentally discovered the secret of attributes and levels. And also pie. With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day. Balthazar will do everything to find a baker, except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Meanwhile, adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home, and he keeps making great new friends by simply buying them.

K. T. Hanna, Tao Wong

What's worse than Australian wildlife? Mutated Australian wildlife. The System Apocalypse has come to Australia, altering native organisms and importing even more menacing creatures to the world's most dangerous continent. For Kira Kent, plant biologist, the System arrives while she's pulling an all-nighter at work with her two kids in tow.

System of Nil

Tim Paulson

C46/100
Nathan Cheng, known as Nil, is a game developer with four consecutive game jam wins — but a gaping hole in his heart from his sister's untimely murder. When he wakes up in an arcane world with a familiar System, he's given one mission: defeat the dark king, or die. Success means returning home on the day before his sister was killed. Only Nil's knowledge of the System — and his perfect memory — can let him advance fast enough to avoid being overwhelmed. The mechanics are far more complex than they appear, with thousands of hidden secrets waiting to be exploited. It'll take more than just brains. He'll need a mountain of grit and guts.

When Aurum Industries announced the first full-immersion VRMMORPG, Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword-and-sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and uncrowded job market — one he was willing and eager to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of soil and the sowing of seeds, exploring the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed.

Gunwitch

Goroella

C46/100
Hecate has never done anything wrong in her entire life. She was supposed to follow the rules, pick the same class as her mother, keep her head down. Instead she picked [Gunwitch] — and shot the Archon's son. Thrown into Silesia, a place that burns witches, Hecate has two guns, magic bullets, and nothing left to lose. Every head she claims only adds to her power. A loot system inspired by Diablo II runewords fuels her rise from outlaw to something far more dangerous.

Wrong Never Felt So Right

Yosarian

The gods have been known, in times of great need, to summon a hero from another world — mighty warriors to fight as their champion and save the world from darkness. Unfortunately, the gods are not all-knowing, and they can make mistakes. Sometimes what they get is not quite what they were expecting.

The Factory Must Grow - Book 3: The Wheels Must Turn

NorskDaedalus

C46/100
Constructing a portal is a monumental undertaking, yet the Forerunners have guided dozens of civilizations to that end and know exactly what is needed: thousands of laborers, hundreds of brilliant artisans, dozens of powerful mages. As the culmination of years of work, they tear a hole in the fabric between realities and travel between worlds. There is simply no reasonable way for only five people — prepared for a standard Isekai scenario yet now stranded on a hostile and alien world where mere survival is a challenge — to ever build a portal. But reasonable people don't become Forerunners.

Svaldyr

After eight years of leading her guild in endless PvP conflict in her favorite dark fantasy MMO, shut-in Ai Kanbara finally felt ready to face reality — only to transmigrate into the game world as her max-level character. But the world has moved on. The artificial God-Engine she built to banish the darkness has developed a critical flaw, her guildmates are either missing or deified as the patron gods of a crumbling empire, and a message from her oldest friend reveals a terrible truth: they were betrayed by one of their own. To uncover the fates of her guildmates and push back against the tyrannies of the Republic ruling in her character's name, Ai must become her legend in truth. Accompanied by her loyal lizard-dog and new companions, she begins a journey across a vibrant world of brutal stakes and deep human connection.
