The Dark Profit Saga

J. Zachary Pike

S89/100
On Arth — a world much like ours but with more magic and fewer vowels — adventuring is a fully commercialized industry. Monster hoards are securitized and sold off before the Heroes' Guild even kills the beasts. The Shadowkin (orcs, goblins, kobolds and their ilk) must carry NPC paperwork to avoid being legally looted and killed. When washed-up dwarven ex-hero Gorm Ingerson defends an undocumented goblin, he's recruited by a prophet of the mad goddess for a suicidal quest — one that powerful corporations and governments are watching very closely.

Seras

S89/100
Under the moonlight of Elune and the blazing warmth of Belore, young elfling Alah'Dorah lives her life in a small unnamed village.

Ironbound

Andrew Givler

S89/100
In the Iron Empire, only the strongest are given a chance to Ascend. Castor has wanted nothing more than to fuse with a Cor Heart — an otherworldly metal that would let him bind a Symbol and manipulate the elements. When his chance is interrupted by a vicious attack that leaves his home in ruins and his family in peril, Castor is conscripted into the Legions and bound to a Symbol he never wanted. He must now survive the Iron City, enemies in the frozen North, and clandestine traitors within the rusting Empire itself — driven above all by revenge.

Dungeon Life

Khenal

S89/100
A normal guy gets hit by a truck and isekai'd — because trucks are apparently some cosmic loophole. Offered the chance to be reincarnated as a dungeon, he decides it sounds weird and interesting enough to try. Slowly building himself up from a small, run-down hovel into a local legend known as Thedeim, the dungeon learns the ropes: gathering mana, managing delvers and adventurers, dealing with rogue dungeons and evil entities — all while finding it far more fun to befriend the people passing through than to terrify them.

Welcome to the Multiverse

Sean Oswald

S89/100
The apocalypse is coming — but only a lucky or perhaps unlucky few know. Silas is inducted into the System, becoming the last in a long line of Earth's Forerunners. The rewards are great, but the danger is greater. Humanity is not alone in the universe: the fate of five worlds hangs on how their forerunners perform, and Earth faces the prospect of becoming a mining world stripped bare and left a barren husk in the cosmos. A system-enforced secret, a deadly challenge, and only a year to go before the countdown ends.

Wolf of the Blood Moon

Shane Purdy

S89/100
Exactly two centuries ago, humanity was struck with its very first Demonic Assault. Demons poured through shattered skies, and on the brink of devastation, some humans were offered contracts granting them power as Guardians. Now, long after the nations of the world joined to form the Terran Republic, young Scarlet is just trying to find a university that will accept someone from a lower-tier city. But when she gets caught inside a Fracture during a Demonic Assault, she doesn't perish in the darkness. Instead, she awakens her dormant bloodline as a noble demon — a Blood Lycan. Turns out she had been a demon all along, and had been born for the apocalypse.

Unorthodox Farming

Benjamin Kerei

S89/100
Accidentally killed by a cleric during a botched resurrection in another universe, Arnold — a semi-pro gamer — wakes up on an altar to find himself inhabiting the overweight body of a farmer who could have been his fatter twin. He's not the hero, the villain, or the chosen one. He's a clerical error. Now stuck in a new world with no way home, Arnold must use his gaming skills to level his farmer class to 100 and earn a second class. The catch: farmers gain no experience from killing monsters. At all.

S89/100
In one timeline, Shen Yu joked to his friends that he would send his new disciple to Soaring Heaven's Isle, an all-female sect. In another, this wasn't a joke. All Jin Rou knows is that this supposed man's dream isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially after two errant disciples accidentally blow him — and the floating island he was living on — up.

Martial Messiah

ToraAKR

S89/100
The year is 2493. After AI wars eradicated three centuries of technological progress, humanity survived thanks to immortal martial artists called the Old Monsters. A technology known as time dilation emerged, tripling human life expectancy — until corporations seized control of it and enslaved the world. Raine KongRu signed a life-long contract with CronGate and spent his best years as another cog in their rise to power. Now he's awoken in his old body, two days before it all began. With a chance to amend his mistakes, he'll have his revenge while teaching the world exactly how deadly a man becomes after thirty years of the most brutal martial combat ever imagined.

Jackal Among Snakes

Nemorosus

S89/100
The royal bastard of House Vasquer, Argrave, changed after his stay studying magic at the Tower of the Gray Owl. The sickly man's awkward posture and cruel behavior have been replaced with a neat dignity and acerbic wit. Most come away thinking he knows too many details about too much. Behind that confident appearance, the primary contributor for an open-world RPG's wiki is battling existential dread as he struggles to adapt to a grim, gothic fantasy world mirroring his favorite game. The prospect of fighting a world-ending calamity loses all appeal when it transitions from entertainment to reality — and Argrave is spurred toward unwanted heroism to keep this sinking ship afloat.

Blue Core

InadvisablyCompelled

S89/100
Not every dungeon is a place of monsters, traps, and death. Not every dungeon core wants adventurers or slaves. Blue wants something different: to stay well away from enemies, avoid the brutality of the mage-kings' Red Cores, and build something better. Fortunately, there are alternatives—and Blue intends to explore all of them.

Solo

Vasily Mahanenko

S88/100
He was the greatest chaos mage of his time, spending sixty years defending the world from rift creatures — loyal to the Empire to his bone, until it decided to wipe out the Chaos clan and every last one of its members. Life has a way of surprising you, and he got a second chance to walk the entire path again. Except the rules are different this time around: chaos is now the weakest of the six elements, and its mages are considered bottom-feeders. Time to show this world just how dead wrong it is.

The Essence of Cultivation

Agranulocytosis

S88/100
After five years of adventuring, Arcanist Sylar Spellsight now spends his days catching up on Essence Studies and teasing apart the functions of arcane trinkets discovered throughout his travels. An unexpected accident during the study of his latest subject displaces him across the Planes, far beyond what any known spell is capable of achieving. Now finding himself lost in a realm rich in previously-limited Transcendental Essences, Sylar isn't entirely sure he wants to return home. Learning new spell structures by observing the local mages should prove entertaining — though their strange 'cultivation' practices and lack of appreciation for Essence manipulation may hold hidden depths that neither side has yet to fully realise.

Zenith of Sorcery

S88/100
After years of exile, Marcus is coming back home. A powerful mage with few equals, he lives in a world full of monsters and powerful adepts, many of whom have bad histories with him. But he has not returned to pursue vengeance or start a fight — all Marcus wants is to reconnect with old friends, build himself a house, and maybe train a successor or two. Alas, the world didn't stop just because Marcus went into exile, and not everyone is content to let go of old grievances. Strange things are happening at large, hinting at a looming disaster of unknown nature. Still, where there is a will, there is a way — and if nothing else, Marcus has a lot of magical power to throw at problems.
