The Boneless Dungeon

Devin Auspland

F17/100
In a world of sword and sorcery, Breck died and was reborn as a dungeon core — a living gem tasked with creating and managing a dungeon. Unlike most dungeons, he suffers a crippling handicap: he cannot create bones, the building block of most living creatures. All he wants is his humanity back, and he'll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal, even slaughtering the adventurers who plunder his depths. Zach, a new adventurer, is sent on a quest to find the source of a mysterious cosmic energy — the same energy that creates dungeon cores. It's the lucky break he's always needed, but powerful enemies want him dead before he can complete it. When Breck's and Zach's paths collide, both must decide how far they'll go to get what they want.

Prime Time Hunter

Skye Reed

Stuck with F-rank stats, a [Behavior Lock] that hijacks his actions, and [Mana Hypersensitivity] that makes him cough up blood anytime he uses a skill, Shane needs to find entirely new ways to progress.

Luckborn

Remnar the Magnificent

F15/100
In a world where a person's Class dictates their future, Dwayne "Otter" Bennett is an anomaly. Born with painfully average stats except a staggering Luck of 18, he was never offered a Class — until an unexpected opportunity lands him a spot at the prestigious Adventurers' Academy. The Academy is ruthless: skilled rivals, dangerous secrets, and a System designed to leave people like him behind. But Otter's Luck keeps manifesting in strange ways, pointing him toward rumors of hidden Classes and a relic that responds to his presence. When a real Kaosborn manifests during a simulation test in the ruins beneath the Academy, a controlled exam turns into a deadly fight for survival — and Otter learns that he, and his extraordinary Luck, may be the key to restructuring the System itself.

Boosted Restart – A new chance in a different world

Teanam

F14/100
Sophia wasn't happy with her life after making some wrong decisions. Introverted and shy to the point it hindered even basic interactions, she felt lonely — unable to talk with women, the only gender she's interested in. When an accident led to the end of the life she hated, an 'overseer of worlds' saved her from death and gave her a second chance in a world where magic exists. He blessed her with boosts to make her life easier — but he didn't stop there. He boosted every emotion and personality trait, positive and negative alike, with results that weren't always reliable. Sophia worked hard to deal with her new, complicated situation while exploring places, learning magic, finding friends, and building a slow, easygoing life in her new world — though her vast powers and lack of common sense made it anything but slow.
