The Nth Awakening

MonkeySleepsWell

D34/100
Eighty percent of D-Grades are dead within five years — and Marcus just tested F. Heir apparent to a military dynasty of a thousand years, groomed since childhood to be their saviour in mech combat and politics, his future collapses in a single verdict. Stripped of his name and family, classified as expendable, he is thrown into the Federation's lowest ranks with one purpose: stand on the front line and bleed long enough for the real soldiers to finish the job. He has no cultivation advantages, no hidden master, no system-granted blessings — only a half-functional interface that shouldn't exist, and a body the machine refused to classify. In a galaxy where power flows to those who obey the system, Marcus is about to discover what happens when you break every rule.

Worthy Core

DaScoot

D34/100
Xenia Worthy, Reincarnator Extraordinaire, has done it all. She's been a Hero (twice), a Demon Lord (briefly), and most recently did a stint as a magical talking sword. But it turns out there's at least one more type of life for her to live: the life of a sapient Dungeon Core. She's more than experienced with death, but no fan of it, so with the help of her latest SGA-assigned Guide, Guy, it's time for her to see if she can make life as a stone her best life yet. In this new world, Dungeons exist to prove to mortals and gods alike who is worthy of power and who is weak. Many will challenge and some will fall, but none will remain unchanged.

Broken Class: A SPY LitRPG

Tory Riter

Arthur was a top-tier spy, right up until he broke the first rule of espionage: never uncover a secret that will get you killed. Now he is dead — or rather, reborn in a brutal system-driven world obsessed with voluntary slavery. Armed with sarcasm, spy training, and a system-gifted wildly overpowered skill set, Arthur does what he does best: ruin everyone's evil plans, one corrupt tyrant at a time. If they cannot find him, they cannot stop him.

The Daily Grind

Argus

D34/100
Working overnight tech support, James Lyle discovers a stairwell in his office building that contains not stairs but a seemingly infinite landscape of supernatural cubicles. Unwilling to stay away, James and his trusted friends begin exploring this endless maze — where a few real-world minutes become eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and stranger interior design. In a realm that lets them level up in fax machine repair and pay the rent with dungeon loot, the adversaries are quickly becoming dangerous. And whatever James is uncovering in the office dungeon may not stop at the entrance.

Transformation

Valery Starsky

D33/100
The familiar world collapsed overnight. As the Transformation progressed, disasters struck throughout the Earth — materials changed their properties, new species of flora and fauna appeared, and an alien Game converted our world into a vast dungeon, replacing the previous civilization. However, the alien plans for Earth began to go awry from the very beginning. An ordinary young man stole the bonus for the first gaming action, depriving the invaders of their perk. Now he must navigate a world of fire-breathing creatures, dark elves, money-grubbing dwarves, and powerful dragons — while deciding which aliens to trust, which to fight, and whether to dare rebel against all-powerful invaders.

JustInTime

Burt Wrenlaw

D33/100
Justin Thyme is not a good man, nor one destined for glory. He was meant to die in obscurity — just another level 82 Templar about to be chewed up by a horde of monstrosities clawing at humanity's last enclave. One short conversation with a time-splitting eldritch horror later, and he finds himself flung five years into the past, right when Earth was first chosen to host the 9,947th Gladiatorial Games. Justin must help save the world from crumbling under the twin pressures of monsters and murderers. But standing out too much risks drawing the attention of the other eldritch horrors watching Earth's struggles for sport. It's all about making the right connections, sowing hope, and exploiting the System with his borrowed ability to tweak time.

Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D33/100
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories. And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape. After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching. The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.

Where the Dead Things Bloom

Vitaly S Alexius

D33/100
Drowning in a bathtub should have been the end of the problems, not the beginning of weirder ones. Now the protagonist is stuck in a reality where things refuse to die properly, buildings sprout tentacles, and their new best friend is a talking humanoid husky-girl who swears they grew up together. Between dodging electric bee swarms and taking advice from a tinfoil-hat guru, the two head back home — wherever that is in this System-shattered world. With Reconstitution at zero and her unwavering loyalty at max, love, memory loss, and the end of reality itself stand between them and finding their way back.

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D33/100
Ivan Susanin, an unemployed techie, is transported by the System to an unknown location along with a thousand other players. He has a spear, basic weapon skills, and 24 hours to earn enough XP to return to Earth — or remain trapped forever. The game takes place in the ruins of a massive city where the undead lurk and goblins raid the outskirts, but the most valuable prey may be the other players. Beyond the local objective is a global one: in the center of the city stands a temple to a fallen god, and until one player captures the Altar, the mission repeats. Ivan must decide whose pawn he'll become — or take the risk of staying independent.

Strata Online is a hundred-floor mega-dungeon with an ever-shifting ecosystem of monsters. Martin's team find themselves in a race against the world's strongest guilds, all competing to be first to reach the unbeatable lowest depths. Complicating everything is Sin — a twisted morality meter that can transform a player's class into its dark counterpart. Martin bets on a rarely chosen race, the rat-like Murovan, combined with the unusual exorcist class. But Strata demands more than skill. The deeper he goes, the darker the dungeon gets.
