Aura Overload

PlumParrot

S89/100
In a crumbling empire ruled by cybernetic immortals, royal bodyguard Hector Finalis was betrayed, branded a traitor, and left for dead. Two centuries later, his lost neurodeck resurfaces in a scavenger haul, and he awakens in a fragile new body — a relic haunted by fractured memories and a blood oath most in this decayed age have forgotten. To survive, Hector must rebuild his aura system from nothing, forcing potentia through a process that can forge flesh and sharpen the mind — or shatter the unworthy. One overload could rip his unenhanced body apart. Bound to criminals and unexpected allies, Hector must claw his way back to power as he uncovers the truth behind his fall, all while struggling to master a rage that could destroy him unless he finds something worth living for.

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.

The Dark Profit Saga

J. Zachary Pike

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.

Wherever he goes, this poor guy can't seem to catch a break. Or lose the chicken. The comedy timeline of Beware of Chicken, starring Rou, his rooster, and his two idiots.

Solo

Vasily Mahanenko

S89/100
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.

Rise of the Body Cultivator

Apollos Thorne

S89/100
The apocalypse happened. Portals appeared. Zombies attacked. Everyone got pulled in. A divine system offered impossible powers — flight, super strength, magic — but only through progress, never all at once. Nathanial Kane had read the System's warnings. It said they had centuries; the demons arrived in ten years. He had been counted among the strongest. It had all been for nothing. Witnessing Earth's end and dying, Nathan cast the only unique spell he'd ever found: Rebirth.

The Hundred Reigns

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

His empress stepmother wants both. And his predecessor's assassin is still out there.

Simon has a hundred reigns to grow strong enough to fulfill his dreams. Not one more, not one less. Better make each one count.

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.

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.

InadvisablyCompelled

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.
