The War God Saga

Aaron Crash, James Hunter

C45/100
When Marine Corps pilot Jacob Merely crashes during a mission off the coast of Cyprus, he stumbles onto a long-abandoned island — and into an age-old battle between good and evil. The island once belonged to the Amazons, daughters of Ares, and stood as the final bastion between the human world and the monstrosities of the Great Below. Jacob's arrival has awakened the old gods and disturbed the seal holding the darkness at bay. Now, wielding a sacred gem containing Ares' power, he must recreate the Amazonian defenders of humanity and fortify the island stronghold — or Hades will unleash his army of the damned.

Prelude: To Domathra

Markus Dirkshire

C45/100
Torn from her life and cast into the world of her favorite game, Addy awakens as Nephthys — her own endgame character, a being powerful enough to level nations. But power does not come with purpose. At the head of a guild she built for conquest, not responsibility, Nephthys must decide how, and whether, she should wield the kind of strength that can reshape the world around her. Rengan is not a game. It will not wait for her to figure things out. Ancient forces stir, new ones rise, and whether she chooses to act or not, the world has already chosen her.

Delver

Corwin Benedict

C45/100
Five hundred years ago, the system broke magic. Mana went wild, turning the dead into abominations and wrenching all unbound magic from human hands. Monsters once kept at bay roamed free, and the world lost contact with the divine realms. Only a few Strongholds survived as humanity was nearly wiped out. With the slow return of magic, Leo — a young man with the Delver class — explores ancient ruins of the old world, delving deep beneath the earth to find wonders and artifacts lost for centuries. In the dark home of an ancient Archmage, Leo discovers something that shouldn't exist: an item that sets him on a journey into ancient magic and terrifying delves.

As he begins his journey into Knighthood — fighting alongside warriors and alchemists who turn the Titans' own power against them — he begins to suspect that the systems of Falrok War College are hollow imitations of something far more powerful. With humanity on the brink of collapse and the vast domains claimed by the Titans' spawn, Wake must start from nothing but a single axe. But the paths to power are broken. The system of progression is missing. So what does it take to wake a sleeping god — and what else might he disturb in the process?

Lucas is a dick, but you would be too if you died in a meth lab explosion and found yourself in a fantasy world. Now, with only his ruthlessness and an ever-increasing body of alchemical knowledge, he has to make his way in this new world — because being poor sucks no matter where you are. He has no idea what's going to happen, but he isn't dying again, because he already knows the afterlife is pretty much bullshit.

Blood & Fur

Maxime J. Durand, Void Herald

Each year, the Nightlords choose a new Emperor to rule Yohuachanca — a life of delicious food, beautiful company, and priestly counsel. It is good, luxurious, and short. At the year's end, the emperor is sacrificed under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is the piss-poor orphan chosen to be this year's emperor. But the Nightlords have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer, whose soul journeys into the underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good.

C45/100

Advent of Eternity: A Tactical LitRPG

Actus

D44/100
The Gods were believed to be immortal — so far beyond the natural laws of the universe that their crimes went unpunishable. A clock hung over every mortal, counting down to the day the Goddess of Death claimed them. Knell Coda was never born in the normal sense. He came into the world outside the reach of the gods, to a family that had committed the cardinal sin of defying them. Their meddling wound the hands on a new clock — one that hung above the heads of the gods themselves, because of one secret Knell uncovered: the Gods can be tricked, defeated, and killed. To most, seeking the head of a goddess would be madness. To Knell, it is an inevitability.

On his twentieth name-day, Rowan finally Awakened — granted a Trait of unknown power, a Title of unimaginable weight, and an Item of untold worth. As he steps onto his Path, the echoes of his past follow. The passes his family defended were left unguarded too long, and now the encroaching Wilds threaten far more than just the north.

Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. Born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with the distant war.

Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home — but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has less than a one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying.

Only the strongest of monsters can hope to survive in the savage dungeon, and Click must make the most of their unique abilities to come out on top — or at least alive. Click can best be described as Lawful-Neutral, finding merit in making and benefitting from allies rather than trampling everything underfoot.
