Viridescent Core

BlurryDreams

D40/100
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.

Theft of Decks

Lars Machmüller

D40/100
In the frontier town of Isarn, Chase will never be more than the lowly Darkborn thief he is. Banned from training, banned from acquiring better cards — if the Lightborn had their way, he'd be banned from life itself. But Chase and his friends have determination. Losing a hand to brutal punishment only fueled his obsession to get access to reality-bending cards. Nobody cares where you came from when you're rich enough. Facing established powers, churches, and age-old prejudices, Chase and his crew must fight back — and if the Lightborn won't share, sometimes the only way to get dealt a better hand is to steal the whole deck.

A Demon's Core

Luesatora

D40/100
It is a strange experience, waking up without any idea of who or even what you are. But that is precisely the situation for a pink, sentient, crystalline orb waking up in an old, dilapidated building in the middle of a seemingly abandoned city. While investigating its surroundings, it accidentally summons a small demon-like creature. She seems friendly enough — so why not summon a few more? Unfortunately, they find themselves caught on the sidelines of a devastating war that threatens to pull them in. Mind your own business, avoid danger, don't pick fights. Easy enough — except that even if you don't go looking for trouble, trouble has a way of finding you.

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.

Following a mysterious blue prompt, Sylas journeys to the town of Ember Hollow to breathe new life into a quaint local pub. Dubbing it "The Old Lamplighter," Sylas hopes it will be a safe haven for weary souls.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix

D39/100
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.

When his family finally loses patience, Ayden is given one chance to prove himself worthy of the sorcerer name: defeat the greatest wizard in all the lands.

She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D38/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.
