Burning Starlight

Ryan Stennet

D37/100
Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.

The System assigns tasks; fail to complete them and you're fined and stripped of everything. Blind spots in the System's surveillance hide brutal, lawless violence. You are assigned a number. You are a volitional Nullform. Adapt, survive, and climb — or be swallowed by the endless pit of debt. This world will not take pity on you.

God Of Velmoryn

Winged Sage

D36/100
One moment I was a nobody — a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. The next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen informing me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. So I destroyed the last statue of the velmoryn goddess: if I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers, and a little divine intervention seemed like the right place to start. Now I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise.

Peasant Farmer to Emperor Mage

JustKidding

D36/100
Jacob is, by his own parents' estimation, a waste of a human. He flunked out of college, can't hold a job, and is approaching thirty with nothing to show for it. Then an incident removes him from their lives entirely — and sets him on the path of reincarnation, guided by a friendly old man into a world of magic. Reborn as the son of peasant farmers in the world of Meldra, Jacob uses his knowledge of modern agriculture and a touch of magic to turn his humble origins around. What begins as a slice-of-life story of survival and farming gradually opens into a broader magical adventure as the world's system comes into full focus.

The Body's Dungeon

Jeffrey Logue, Jonathan Brooks

D36/100
In the icy north, a young orphan-thief named Marstin Hardgrove is beaten and left for dead in an abandoned mine — forced to eat dirt and rocks before he collapses. Unbeknownst to him, among those rocks was a tiny dungeon crystal. Thrown into the microscopic world of cells, bacteria, and pathogens, the crystal quickly decides it doesn't want to escape — it wants to possess the body entirely. To survive Marstin's immune system and the hostile pathogens threatening them both, the crystal must create its own immune-cell defenders, lay traps, and transform the body into a dungeon. A science-grounded LitRPG told from the perspective of a dungeon core operating inside a living person, alongside the outer adventures of the host.
