The year is 2245. Virtual Reality has long since transformed society — some people even abandoned their physical bodies for digital existence. Now the next leap has arrived: the Seed consoles, so immersive they qualify as Artificial Reality rather than VR.
But what happens when things become too real?
My name is Richard Brooks. I died while saving a kid. Kicking the bucket at 28 was really depressing — there's so much I still wanted to do. But instead of passing on, I was thrust into an endless series of reincarnations.
Whenever I die, I earn Karma points based on my achievements and growth. These points can be exchanged for weapons, spells, or other bonuses for my next life. Honestly, it feels like I'm stuck in an RPG. Sometimes all I can do is grit my teeth as I die an ignoble death. But I won't complain — even when it's dangerous and painful, I love life. With my unique power of Runecrafting, maybe I'll even become strong enough to overturn fate. It might take a few hundred lifetimes, but what's the rush? I have all the time in the world.

In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd — they're supervillains. School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion.
Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots: stealing an ice cream van, destroying the Superstate, and bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. His life transforms from mundane to madcap — an ever-accelerating train ride with no brakes, packed with adventure, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic cosmic horror.
In an empire on the edge of the known worlds, gods are hunted, spirits outlawed, and magic itself is the dwindling heritage of a few tribes cast to the far reaches of the archipelagos. A dungeon core with no name must change the tides of time and fate to survive.
Melvin Murphy is an ordinary high schooler until he discovers a System that governs all magic. Attempting to summon a teacher to guide him, he botches the ritual and accidentally pulls through a magic-wielding girl named Kalliphae — powerful and deadly, but just as clueless about Earth as he is about magic.
Together, an unlikely pair begins navigating both the mundane problems of high school and the far stranger challenges of a hidden magical world.

Daniel finds himself trapped inside one of these dungeons. It's time to break free, by any means necessary.

Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in a brutal world of martial arts and cultivation, ascending to its absolute pinnacle — only to find herself unable to escape the Heavenly Will's grasp. She gambled everything on a final act, fleeing into the Outer Cosmos.
She expected an end. Instead, a black hole spits her back to Earth, a planet now transformed: a Tower connects it to countless worlds, dimensional gates spew monsters, and awakened Hunters climb floors in a desperate bid to save humanity.
With her mother and sister still alive, Bing Xue brings eleven thousand years of supreme cultivation to bear — against the Tower, the gods who run it, and anything else that stands between her and the people she loves.
A soldier wins an afterlife lottery and is given the chance to live again in another universe — the Star Wars galaxy — with access to lite-Gamer powers.

There's one firm rule in Central City: everyone dies. Super strength, invulnerability, regeneration — everything is on the table, except immortality. After all, if anyone were immortal, Alpha, the completely-legitimately-elected dictator-for-life of Central City, could absorb their skill and become dictator forever. It's a good thing no one is immortal. Especially not Levi.
A satirical dark superhero story with a LitRPG twist, drawing on the vibes of The Boys, Perfect Run, and Astro City.
In an impoverished border town with a dwindling population, Gwen Tailor aims to change things. She is the daughter of the Seamstress class, stitching with speed that borders on magic — but armed with a giant piercing needle, she is also a monster slayer.
At the town's core lies a dungeon, the source of all local despair and decline. For every kill, each creature's pelt, shell, and exoskeleton becomes both protective armor and escalating power. Descending with her friends — a butcher's daughter and a young blacksmith — Gwen will make a harrowing discovery about the true roots of her town's decay.

Sterling Monedero is not your typical necromancer. Even with the game system and mancer class forced onto him by the skyscraper-sized alien monoliths known as Godwalkers, he just wants to farm peppers in peace. He tried the revenge thing five years ago and failed miserably.

A lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe and finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. Born as Robin, with no memory of his alien heritage, he lives normally until unlock day — when the System informs him his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes magnified experience gain, the echo of everything that was lost.
Potential can be a double-edged sword. Viewed as a valuable tool by his social superiors, Robin must protect his family and retain his freedom while walking a tightrope, particularly when the jealousy of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray. A slow-paced, crunchy LitRPG with a single male lead who works largely alone.
For Hudson, the virtual world of PrimeVerse isn't all bad — it's beautiful, much nicer than overpopulated Earth. It almost feels like a vacation, except for the volatile wildlife, lack of amenities, and the inability to log out. He didn't exactly sign up for this.
Exploring the world and leveling skills is all fun and games until a powerful rogue player with a vendetta shows up to wipe out Hudson and his primitive tribe. Thrust into a conflict he didn't create, Hudson is forced into a cycle of respawning where he learns that even death can be used as a tool.
In an uninhabited, newly created virtual world, Hudson sets out to make the best of a bad situation.
