Chloe the Zombie: A Monster Evolution LitRPG

Evil Lemon

D42/100
Being a zombie used to be boring. Chloe walked around the dungeon, got chopped up by adventurers, and respawned — over and over, until one day she woke up. Now she has smarts and a taste for freedom. Why stay in a stinky dungeon when there's a whole world to explore? Gods are stirring up chaos and treating the world like a game, and powerful factions are moving to stop them — but Chloe is mostly just here to eat brains.

The Village

Alexey Kovtunov, Dmitry Dornichev, Sofia Gutkin

D41/100
People awake in a strange place with no idea of who or where they are. There is only a bizarre message carved into a metal obelisk and the growing awareness that every single living creature in this new world is a deadly threat — even seemingly cute and fluffy bunnies have a taste for human flesh. Under Nicholas's leadership, the survivors must fight, adapt, and forge alliances with other sapient races to build something lasting in a world that never stops throwing deadlier opponents at them.

Delver

Corwin Benedict

D41/100
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.

The Saga of Keres

Lucian T. Einar

D41/100
1897. As the world teeters on the edge of war, Volundr — Ambassador of the Society of Nations — assembles a diverse group of individuals with extraordinary abilities. Among them: Steve, a devoted single father searching for his missing lover, and his mischievous daughter Alice. Others seek redemption, vengeance, or simply a place to belong. Cursed and desperate for answers, they agree to assist Volundr in exchange for his teachings on thaumaturgy and alchemy. Their first mission takes them to the Unseen City, under the threat of a devastating terrorist attack — where the most powerful thaumaturgist the world has ever seen has plans of her own. An alternate-historical fantasy set in the late 1890s, where magic clashes with science, kaiju roam the earth, and an unlikely band of heroes must confront forces both seen and unseen.

Rise of the Mechanar

Gallekryde

D41/100
At twenty years old, Nicholas has lived his life to fulfil a vow. With the obligation settled, he yearns for answers to the mystery of his own origin — answers that will require venturing to the old continent, the Ancient Capital, and the midst of a war to reclaim it from the monsters that drove humanity away millennia ago. Not all plans survive. When heathen invaders upend everything, Nicholas swears another promise and finds himself alone in the wilderness of the old continent, surrounded by enemies both monster and human. Drawing on ancient powers that may finally provide the answers he sought, he must tread carefully — because he may turn into something that even monsters fear.

D41/100
Shu wasn't always a fish. She wasn't even always Shu. After giving her life to save a child, she is rewarded — or perhaps cursed — with reincarnation into a world of cultivation and immortals. That doesn't go as planned, and she dies almost instantly, her soul absorbed by a mindless koi. Now she is stuck in the body of a koi, and her owner is the very man who cut her second life short. Her only saving grace is a System granted to help her navigate this new world — one that lets her both cultivate and evolve her way up the food chain.

The Outborn Accord

Atlande

Kieran watched wild outborns tear his father apart when he was a child. Now he's supposed to bond with one. Highfall College trains callers who share their minds with these creatures of storm and fire — but Kieran can't do any of it. No Arts, no bond, just fists and a mark under his skin that burns when the world goes wrong. Between a lightning-happy rival who thinks everything is a competition, a fire girl with zero impulse control, and the most chaotic first-year cohort Highfall has ever filed, Kieran might survive long enough to figure out what he is. His first expedition into the Outerbound is coming whether he's ready or not. He's not ready.

Indomitable Prey

OCRAuthor

D41/100
Lamb dies. That part is simple. Waking up naked and hogtied in a forest full of armed strangers is another matter entirely. Within hours he is given a knife, a few rushed directions toward distant civilization, and left alone in mountains filled with creatures powerful enough to kill him outright. If he wants to live long enough to matter, he will need to grow stronger fast. Power is measured in levels and skills, and the combat class he needs can only be claimed at level fifteen — if the wilderness doesn't kill him first. So he runs, climbs, and learns to turn terrain, instinct, and sheer stubborn endurance into his only real advantages. Far beyond the horizon, powerful figures are already beginning to take an interest in the God-Touched newcomer.

Viridescent Core

BlurryDreams

D41/100
Mortals see dungeons many ways — a plague to destroy, a resource to harvest, a place to train and advance. But all of them agree on one thing: dungeons are unnatural and deadly, places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all.

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.

The City and the Dungeon

Matthew Schmidt

D40/100
The City is an immense metropolis of crystal spires and wondrous magic. Beneath it lies the Dungeon — a vast underground world, source of endless treasure guarded by grotesque and deadly monsters. No one knows where the Dungeon came from, or why. Anyone who dares its dangers must first be transformed into a delver, a quasi-immortal creature defined entirely by numbers. Yet the immortality offered is illusionary: without consuming the crystal found only within the Dungeon, a delver will inevitably die. One young immigrant braves the Dungeon to send money home to his family — and finds much, much more.

The Phoenix

D40/100
She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live. In this life she is Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation — or at least she was, before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought at the top, she entered hoping to end her curse. But even with hundreds of lives of experience to draw on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power turns out to be only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she has ever faced.
