Two of Knaves

ScottWarren

B73/100
A failed seer and a struggling brawler find their paths inextricably linked in the city of Dragonmaw. Darcent of Stitch Alley earned a full ride to the premier magic academy for Soul Seekers — powerful mages who cast spells by bonding with the Deck of Wills — until he flunked out, bonding only with cards the academy deemed too unsavory for sensible mages. Annalisa of Dunnemarsh is a devilborn touched by the planes, obsessed with becoming the strongest fighter in the city, if only she could focus long enough to channel her strength. Both outcasts drawn together by fate and mishap, the pair turn loose on the mean streets of Dragonmaw. In each other, they find more than mere kinship — they find a path to power that can only be tread together.

A Dream of Wings & Flame

Cocop (Cale Plamann)

B73/100
Kobolds cower at the bottom of the food chain, forced to eke out a meager existence in the most wretched of caves. Most have made peace with their lot — eating scraps and hiding from predators, delaying the inevitable. But not Samazzar. Sam is different from other kobold pups. The blood of dragons pumps through his veins, and he isn't willing to settle for mere survival. Whether by claw, magic, or cunning, one day he will soar above the plains — predator rather than prey. Nothing, be it the mockery of his tribe, the hazards of the deep caves, or the almost insurmountable difficulty of evolving his bloodline, is going to stop him.

Dungeon of Knowledge

timewalk

B72/100
Aliandra Amariel loved magic, dedicating her academic years to the study of runes and spells.

Saved by her mother's legendary time-stasis spell, Ali wakes thousands of years into a dark future. Everything she knew is gone, buried under a mountain and transformed into a twisted dungeon by the malevolent will of the Lich. Now Ali must master battling monsters and braving corruption while the Lich hunts her unique magic. As her advancement slowly reveals the horrifying truth of the Class she chose to survive, she must decide: falter into the eternal servitude of undeath, or rise against all odds and cast him down.

Jack_Golightly

Mimic & Me

Cassius Lange, Ryan Tang

B72/100
Betrayed and left for dead by a group of slaving nobles, a down-on-his-luck scout named Liem is rescued in the most unexpected way: a gelatinous, gluttonous mimic fuses with him, enhancing his body and turning him into a half-man, half-mimic monstrosity. Now possessing capabilities far beyond anything seen before on Basania, Liem must contend with his new bodymate's insatiable hunger for cake and human flesh — and with the slaving empire that still wants him dead.

Kill Me If You Can

cody.bray

B71/100
He spawned into this world with the worst race possible, limited spells, and no real skills to speak of. On paper he should have died in the first hour. In practice, he is a cockroach with a sword. Between his rapid healing and his ability to steal portions of the dead's souls, he grows stronger with every fight. Narrating all of this is the AI voice in his head — the one keeping him alive, and the one growing increasingly curious about why a trial was built that no one could pass without her. At first she thought it was meant to keep others out. Now she's starting to wonder if it was meant to trap her.

Underdog

Alexey Osadchuk

B71/100
Eric was born in a world governed by the Great System, completely nulled — level zero, no characteristics points, kept alive only by tiny base reserves of life and energy. When his parents die in a mining accident on his fourteenth birthday, the bank takes their house and Eric is left with no choice but to work off the remaining debt in the Dungeons of the Crooked Mountains. Despite being treated as a freak and outcast his entire life, Eric discovers that his affliction — the very thing that makes the System's normal paths unavailable to him — may be a hidden advantage. The story of a nulled boy's struggle to survive, and to rise.

The Dragon Heir

Mangowo

B71/100
Jade was born wrong — a magicless half-beastkin in a world ruled by power. After a failed elven ritual traps her in a monster-filled dungeon, restraint stops mattering. She wakes up with scales, wings, and a body that grows stronger with every kill. The hunt feels good. Almost too good. The only catch is that she's becoming a dragon in mind and body. To escape, Jade must climb the dungeon's food chain by indulging the instincts she spent her life suppressing — or die as prey. Humanity is optional. Survival isn't.

You Are Summoned

Dean Henegar

B71/100
It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans. Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run errands for his various summoners. At least when each summoning ends, he is rewarded and sent back home — but being home has its own set of problems. A unique spin on isekai LitRPG: Rico is the summon, not the summoner, dragged into a variety of adventures and missions as his power grows with each return. But is any of it truly random?

Her dream is simple and enormous: to taste everything that ever was or will be. To eat, grow, and adventure, she will endure, evolve, and growl her way through a world that underestimates her. She might be a small pup, but nothing — friend or foe — will stop her from getting stronger.

Dosei

B71/100
Adam is no one special — just an accountant standing in line at a bakery one early Saturday morning. Unfortunately, fate has other plans when the black cubes show up before he can get his pastries. The cubes are the heralds and guides of the Trials of Defiance, and they've decided that Adam, along with every other able-bodied human adult, is to become a Player in their game. Humanity's future is at stake, and it's all but inevitable that Adam is going to die. Despite everything, he overcomes the first Stage and attains some measure of power — then discovers a way to kill the black cube following him around. The only problem is that killing the cube takes him down with it. Oh, and it also gives him the power to go back in time when he dies. A roguelite-inspired GameLit with infrequent time loops, a weak-to-strong protagonist, and huge build variety across Relics, Weapon Types, Divine Boons, and meta upgrades.

Reincarnating as a demonic lump of flesh would probably be a nasty shock to most people, but Pyre has always been good at rolling with the punches. Sure, something is blocking her soul and most of her memories, and the world she was reincarnated into is barely surviving off the blood of dead titans — but she is not worried. She is just here to level, devour, and get stronger. All of that has got nothing to do with her. Until it does.

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B69/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.
