Reborn as a Demonic Tree

XKarnation

S+90/100
Ashlock woke in the courtyard of a demonic sect — as a tree. A tree that eats people. And one that grows stronger over time through a daily sign-in system and cultivation. A strange new life, but perhaps not the worst one in a world where humans chase immortality through the art of cultivation. Every day he grows stronger, gaining powerful skills, mutations, summons, and items in exchange for credits earned from eating flesh and watching the seasons pass. But his peaceful, man-eating existence can only go unnoticed for so long. His Qi-rich bark makes him a target, tensions in the demonic sect are rising, and a Beast Tide looms on the horizon. Ashlock's only option is to grow faster and stronger than any tree in the history of the nine realms.

Cyber Dreams

PlumParrot

S+90/100
In the near future, corporations rule society and treat their citizens like products and tools. People live to work and work to live — but not everyone. Some prosper on the fringe, some thrive as thorns in the paws of the corporate lions. Juliet just wants to get a ride home from her double shift at the scrapyard when something bizarre and horrifying happens, throwing her into the crosshairs of Western Bio Dynamics, a mega-corporation that would just as soon dissect a person as interview them. She didn't ask for the stolen, illegal tech that falls into her hands — but she accepted it. Now she needs to find a way to skip town and hide from WBD until she figures out a plan. She has to learn to live in the shadows, work outside the corporate system, and deal with the sundry characters — honorable and nefarious — inhabiting that world. From synthetic bounty hunters to double-crossing operators, Juliet will face many challenges as she works to improve herself physically, mentally, and in reputation.

Trapped between the Guardians she's forced to fight and the captor who controls her every move, she must find a way to signal for help — and hope someone notices before it's too late. And if she does get free, there's one more question: could she keep the robot body?

Towerbound

Samson Chui

S+90/100
Ren Varrow was never the hero type — a quiet alchemist who kept his head low while others chased glory. But when a top guild lured him into a lethal dungeon and stabbed him in the back, his story should have ended. Instead, it rewound. Thrown back to Day One, before the Tower rose and before the betrayals, Ren knows what's coming: secret quests, hidden mechanics, and a ticking clock that ends with Earth's destruction.

Guardian of Aster Fall

David North

S+90/100
Across the world of Aster Fall, there are unique classes that cannot be trained through normal means — they require quests and accomplishments that simply don't exist yet. Some say the World Law itself is broken. Sam Hastern's family has been cursed by one of these classes for fifty years: the Battlefield Reclaimer, a class no one has ever managed to level, condemning them to poverty in a barren village. Then a dungeon exploration leaves Sam looking distinctly non-human. In a world of mana crystals, beast cores, spirit veins, and elemental storms, Sam must master rare and evolving classes and confront the forces threatening to break Aster Fall apart.

Tunnel Rat: Causing Trouble in Two Worlds

The Walrus King

S+90/100
Milo lives in a steel cave within a man-made mountain of steel and concrete. He spends his days repairing the machinery that keeps his habitat livable and tinkering with the prosthetics that help his twisted body navigate the small tunnels and air shafts that are his world. He's as much a piece of discarded machinery as the equipment he keeps running. When the criminals he escaped from return, stealing everything from them seems like a fine way to stay busy — especially when the haul includes a new MK7 immersion pod used to enter the virtual world of Genesis. Milo has always lived in tunnels, and now he's a Tunnel Rat in looks, not just name. He wants to go deep, find ancient mysteries, make new friends, and fix things. Hopefully he fixes more than he breaks, or this new world might be in trouble.

According to prophecy, the ninth-born child of Lord Orellen will have the kind of power that changes the world. In a land ruled by magical families, no one welcomes that possibility. Fearful even of their allies, the Orellens devise an extraordinary and deadly scheme: if the most powerful people in the world wish to kill the ninth-born, they will have to find them first. Using dark magic, the Orellens create hundreds of heirs — each given new bodies, new names, and new magical talents — and scatter them across the continent. Only one is the real ninth, but all of them will grow up as fugitives. Kalen, once fated to die, is now an Orellen heir in hiding. He is determined to survive, even if he must master his strange new powers to do it.

The Elf Who Would Become A Dragon

ljamberfantasy

S89/100
Saphienne lived the idyllic life of an elf in the woodlands — eternal joy her birthright, the supremacy of elven magic her inheritance. But she was a profoundly gifted child, and gifted children see things others prefer to ignore. Once she witnessed the hidden suffering beneath the paradise, she could not look away. Her pursuit of a wizarding apprenticeship set her against both magical and moral challenges. Saphienne grew into a formidable woman — and when the flames subsided, the elves struck her name from history. A heartwarming and heartbreaking fantasy about rejection and belonging, power and consequence, and the cost of being oneself.

It quickly becomes obvious that far more is at stake than the reputation of an innocent woman.

Khenal

A normal guy gets hit by a truck and isekai'd — because trucks are apparently some cosmic loophole. Offered the chance to be reincarnated as a dungeon, he decides it sounds weird and interesting enough to try. Slowly building himself up from a small, run-down hovel into a local legend known as Thedeim, the dungeon learns the ropes: gathering mana, managing delvers and adventurers, dealing with rogue dungeons and evil entities — all while finding it far more fun to befriend the people passing through than to terrify them.
