Divine Apostasy

A.F. Kay

S87/100
On his Ascension Day, Ruwen dies for the first time. His revived body can now learn Spells and Abilities from the Class granted by the Goddess Uru, and death is no longer permanent. His high intelligence makes becoming a Mage seem inevitable — but nothing goes as planned. When a rival god tries to kill Ruwen shortly after his disastrous Ascension, survival becomes his only focus. His choices pull him into the middle of an ancient war, and he must push through the limitations of an unexpected Class to reach level five — the bare minimum needed to have a chance.

Cultist of Cerebon

Fizzicks

S87/100
When Zareth first realized he had been reborn into a world that ran on video game mechanics, he was ecstatic — he'd expected danger and adventure. Instead, he spent much of his new life on the streets of Tal'Qamar before eventually becoming a Cultist to Cerebon, God of Flesh and Transformation. Being a Cultist to the God of Flesh turned out to be much less exciting than hoped, and Zareth spent most of his time helping rich women smooth their skin. Just when he had given up hope, everything changes when the city enters a period of sharp political turmoil — and Zareth is dragged right into it.

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.

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?

UnderVerse

Jez Cajiao

S87/100
Jax is a pretty regular guy with a job he tolerates and a girl he kinda loves — and he fights creatures from the UnderVerse in his sleep, waking covered in horrific scars. When his brother vanishes and five years later Jax is kidnapped as well, his father gives him a stark choice: travel to the UnderVerse in reality, reach the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of existence, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home — or die slowly. First, though, he has to survive the arena, where twelve will enter and only one can leave.

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.

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.

Runeblade: A Delving & Skill Merging LitRPG

Bacon Macleod

S86/100
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.

He must now survive the Iron City, enemies in the frozen North, and clandestine traitors within the rusting Empire itself — driven above all by revenge.
