Mycology

Sir Nil

D25/100
Declan was a teenager when he was invited to Gaia — not a popular VRMMO, nor a game in the traditional sense. Gaia was the stopgap to Indiri, a living, breathing world, the final creation of a dead genius. Invited by Eve, an AI overseer far beyond anything humanity had built before, Declan was given a simple choice: join or don't. He chose to join.

Chronicles of Ethan

John L. Monk

In the future, retirement means uploading to an immortal existence inside Mythian — the world's fastest quantum computer running an endless virtual adventure. Weapons, spells, gold, and experience points become the measures of a life. Ethan Crane never wanted any of it. He didn't want to retire, and he certainly didn't want to play a game forever. But when he discovers his wife — whom he believed dead — is still alive inside Mythian, nothing will stop him from reaching her. Not even himself.

Demonic City Builder

Cattacomb

F24/100
He filed 101 support tickets. The System turned him into a demon. Kairon is a system clerk who finally gets his own city charter. He does what any good bureaucrat would: reads the entire Terms of Service, finds a loophole, and exploits it. Unfortunately, doing so calls down a pillar of hellfire that roasts him, his villagers, and everything within a league. Now he's a demon with ten confused imps, a giant tower with a floating eyeball, and a rudimentary system that tears buildings through rends in reality — while a theocratic empire prepares to hunt him down.

The Nameless Engineer

FrankG

F24/100
She wakes up on a hostile alien planet with no memory, no name, and a body rebuilt by machines. Everyone else got combat classes; she got Engineer, Level 0, locked from the start and designed to fail. But she's adapting — turning scraps and broken machines into things that keep her alive, getting stronger with every fight, and unlocking something new with every evolution. She needs answers: who she was before this, why she's here, how to get off this planet. Somewhere in her broken memory is a mission she was supposed to complete. None of that matters if she can't survive long enough to remember it.

Underpowered Howard

John L. Monk

Deep within Heroes of Mythian — a game world where retirees exchange their physical bodies for an eternity of adventure — Howard learns a terrible secret: the game is glitched and it's killing its mightiest players permanently. Desperate to save his friends and countless innocents, he hatches a plan to fix things. He'll start again as a level 0 necromancer and exploit his way to power, using his deep knowledge of game mechanics. With luck, his game-breaking exploits will alert Mythian's admins that something is wrong — but the game's creators, uncaring at best and sadistic at worst, might simply delete him for exposing their mistakes.

Death's Disciple

TT.Reynolds

Sometimes it's the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder — and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of Death itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else: humanity is greedy and weak, and without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated — but humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because something far worse than the Dungeons is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready.

Maximum Intimidation Knight

D.N. Newyn

F23/100
Sir Henry Hildebraud of Mostenstein is the last of the Knights of Saint Merin — and the most useless of a useless lot. In a world full of magic, he has none. When a rock falls on his head and grants him a system, he expects salvation. What he gets is a hundredfold multiplier on his Intimidation stat, an attribute he never wanted and cannot turn off. Every time Henry speaks, he involuntarily threatens to massacre the local populace. Left with no choice but to pretend he is the most dangerous man alive, he sets out to find the woman rumored to hold the key to restoring the Order of Saint Merin — who is, by all accounts, a total weirdo. A comedy of accidental terror, knightly honor, and a progression system built entirely around downsides.
