Neon Dragons

LunaWolve

B65/100
Everyone is obsessed with Neon Dragons — the latest highly immersive cyberpunk aRPG from Sparksoft. But when our late-twenties protagonist's PC broke days before the game's release, all she could do was watch content creators play through it, limiting her knowledge to what she saw in those playthroughs. Things change drastically when she wakes up inside the body of a 15-year-old girl inside the city of Neo Avalis, six years into the game's past. She can level herself just like a character in the game, and with everything she's read and watched about Neon Dragons, she sets her sights on solving the mystery of the enigmatic Wall at the edge of the play-area. But she quickly realizes that this game is very real — life in a cyberpunk future is full of danger and intrigue, and the world has some surprising differences from the game she watched.

Arcanist In Another World

BleedingTears

B65/100
Valens Kosthal is the youngest Life Archmagus the Empire has ever seen. His mastery over Resonance allows him to hear the frequencies of the world and correct them — healing even the deepest wounds. Yet the full scope of his abilities is forbidden, and the little he can practice must be done in secret. When an ancient ritual promises to reveal the truth behind it all, he leaps at the chance. It leaves him alone in an unfamiliar world, deep in a dungeon crawling with rotten skeletons and towering beasts — and a System that grants him the secrets of Warmagic. Valens no longer needs to hold back.

Paragon of Skills

VengefulBirch

B65/100
Jacob Cloud is sixteen, a miner's son, and he knows his fate: die young, broke, and anonymous in the town that feeds silver ore to richer cities and spits out its sons in pine boxes. He dreams of becoming a Knight — but that takes gold, rare Skills, and connections he will never have. Then the mine floor gives out beneath him. Jacob falls — not to his death, but onto a Rainbow-ranked Skill Crystal, something so rare people kill over it. He doesn't get a weapon or a healing Skill. He gets The Grimoire Extraordinaire — a support Skill that can only show him the flaws in any other Skill or item. No instant power. No glory. But Jacob isn't an idiot. He grinds, he experiments, and he uses the Grimoire to optimize the basics. In five days trapped underground, he boosts his skills to levels nobles would envy — and when he claws his way out, he's ready to quit the mines for good.

Return of the Unbound Mage

Scryx

B64/100
Miles has one obsession in life: magic. He lives it, breathes it, and dedicates every waking hour to it — but the same obsession wears down his body. At the peak of his power, he chooses to rest in artifact-enhanced sleep, planning for it to last months. It extends to centuries. Miles wakes to an entirely new world: one where magic has become structured and rigid, where mages have traded future potential for an interface — an easier, safer path for novices. The magic Miles knows has slid into legend. Someone has worked to weaken the world, and they have succeeded. But Miles still lives, and he can do everything this new era calls a myth — and much, much more.

Brooke believed she understood the tug-of-war between entities seeking to end or save humanity. She believed in the Vanguard — heroes granted immense power via contracts with the eldritch.

Follow Brooke and Roosevelt's incomprehensible journey as they contend with forces beyond understanding.

Critical Roleplay: I Min-Maxed For Endgame, Not Flavor

PatchnotesPending

B64/100
Vera spent years climbing to the top of Ashen Legacy, a punishing MMO where every stat point mattered. She min-maxed her build, crushed endgame content, and became one of the highest-level players around. Then she woke up inside the game — in the body of her character. Everything works: the magic, the gear, the absurd power level. Unfortunately, so does the backstory — including the kid she gave herself for emotional flavor and half-baked roleplay she barely remembers writing. Now she must navigate a world shaped by her own exploits: divine ruins she helped demolish, cults whose gods she may have deleted, and a continent teetering on the edge of an expansion she never cleared. Being overpowered is easy. Being responsible? That's the real raid boss.

They Answered The Call

Repulsive-Ardor

B64/100
When humanity first ventured into space, they discovered the Galactic Commonwealth — an ancient and powerful alliance that barely noticed them. One species, the arboreal Eleani, took an active interest in humanity, offering guidance and friendship as they watched their younger cousin-kin earn their place among the stars. Decades later, the Insectoid Empire launched a devastating new campaign against the Commonwealth — a spacefaring hive-mind of wasp analogues that did not stop after seizing border planets as before. They killed over a hundred billion souls across dozens of worlds, destroyed half the Commonwealth Navy, and swept through the undefended periphery toward the Eleani homeworld. As extinction loomed and the Commonwealth government declined to help, the Eleani broadcast pleas to anyone who would listen. The Republic of Humanity answered the call.

A Tyrant, Sort Of

farawaymuse

B64/100
Sable didn't know what she'd expected from the afterlife, but turning into a giant flying lizard wasn't it. Thrust into a magic-filled fantasy world with an obscenely powerful body, things aren't entirely great: there are hordes of orcs to the north, an immortal undead legion to the south, and fourteen human kingdoms that want the first dragon in centuries dead. What's more, her [Hoard] and [Notoriety] stats make her stronger the more gold she has and the more people fear her — which explains why dragons in the past were such unsavory sorts. Maybe she can find less evil ways to progress. What are the odds taxes and propaganda can get her where she needs to be?

An Antihero's Journey: Book One, The Crow

Malaklein

B64/100
Burton was a good man — if gullible — until his superhero girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, also a superhero, and his entire family took her side. In a fit of suicidal rage, something changed: he became a Wisher, smarter and sharper than before, yet fundamentally still himself. Now he lives as a vigilante — not an official hero but a rogue man of the night who beats up bad guys and has a talking dog and cat for company. He is a cynic, a loner, and a sadistic hermit with no love to give. That is about to change, and so is his pain.
