Arcane Ascension

Andrew Rowe

S87/100
Five years ago, Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those who reach the top will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor on a mission to find his brother. If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement — but that won't be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels. For that, he's going to need training, allies, and a lot of ingenuity.

12 Miles Below

Mark Arrows

S87/100
The world is in ruins. Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. The only escape from the deadly climate is underground — but that brings its own disasters: monstrous machines lurking in the depths, land that shifts like contraption more than rock, and only demigods powerful enough to travel deeper. When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father are trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two must set aside their differences while they struggle against gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

Princess of the Void

Dukerino

S87/100
Grant is pulling a late shift watching an empty cell at a middle-of-nowhere facility when he meets Subject B-31: blue, beautiful, and inhuman. Told to think of her as a test subject and ignore her desperation, he doesn't listen — and his rescue attempt quickly turns into an alien abduction. B-31 is Sykora, a princess of the tyrannical Taiikari Empire, who whisks Grant into a galaxy filled with alien cultures, deadly rivals, and the sinister smiles of the royal court. Grant will have to learn a new life fast. Because when the Princess of the Void looks at him, she doesn't just see a savior — she sees a husband. And she isn't asking.

1% Lifesteal

Robert Blaise

S87/100
Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

The Archmage Coefficient

onedayokay

S87/100
Magic was chaos. Now it's chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies — until Arielle Blacksoil. Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: she's an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they'll strip her power or turn her into a weapon. To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life she has rivals, teammates — maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn't easy, and soon she's embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots, and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark.

The Iron Teeth: A Goblin's Tale

ClearMadness

S86/100
A new, darker age is dawning. The greed of kings has ignited a seemingly endless war. As men fight, the monsters of the untamed wilds devour the frontier — villages abandoned, fields gone fallow, murderous bandits roaming the desolation. None of that matters to a nameless goblin slave. He just wants to eat as much food as he can shove into his mouth when no one is looking. But fate runs a twisted course, and instead he is whisked away to the far-off Iron Teeth Mountains. To stay alive, he will have to evolve into something more than a simple goblin and carve a bloody path through the forests of the North — if he can first get over his crippling fear of trees, and survive in a place where everything considers him the perfect size for a quick snack.

Legends & Lattes

Travis Baldree

S86/100
After a lifetime of bounties and bloodshed, Viv is hanging up her sword for the last time. The battle-weary orc aims to start fresh, opening the first ever coffee shop in the city of Thune. But old and new rivals stand in the way of success — not to mention the fact that no one has the faintest idea what coffee actually is. If Viv wants to put the blade behind her and make her plans a reality, she won't be able to go it alone. But the true rewards of the uncharted path are the travelers you meet along the way, and whether drawn together by ancient magic, flaky pastry, or a freshly brewed cup, they may become partners, family, and something deeper than she ever could have dreamed.

The Land of Broken Roads

Ryan English

S86/100
The age of Man has come and gone. His bright and glorious works are ruins, his heritage scattered and forgotten. Vicious things now walk his empty halls and hunt his empty streets. Men are few in number and huddled far away on the last weary stretches of land that have not cast them out. For a boy like Dirt, there is no food but what he can scavenge and no shelter but what he can dig. If he wants to survive, he must find allies in even the most unlikely places — because in a world the wilds have reclaimed, there is no mercy from hungry jaws. An adventure story about friendship, courage, and the unrelenting savagery of nature, following a boy with a mysterious, forgotten past who must quickly learn to contend with the supernatural to survive.

Bacon Macleod

Kaius just wanted to unlock his class — instead, he restarted the apocalypse. After years of training, Kaius has barely acquired the first two of his family's legacy skills: powerful, vanishingly rare abilities whose method of creation is a secret people would kill for. Narrowly surviving a bandit ambush, he gets trapped in the Great Depths — a world-spanning dungeon. To escape, he must slay one of the Guardians defending the exits, a feat no classless fighter has ever survived. If that weren't bad enough, succeeding will reignite a forgotten trial that nearly ended civilization.
