Wizard's Tower

Allanther

A75/100
For more than a hundred and fifty years, Nemon Fargus has served the Kingdom of Sena. Through four Kings and a Queen, two wars, a rebellion, a magic school founded and taught, and countless beast waves and dungeon breaks. Now the one close friend he had left has passed. He's done with their politics and economics. The short, busy lives of humans are more burden than benefit on the weary soul of this half-elf. He wants a refuge — a place truly his own, away from cities, markets, wars, and eager students. He's seeking the peaceful life of a wizard in his tower, studying magic to advance his spellcraft. We'll see if that happens.

Midnight Bounties

Cassius, Castor

B74/100
Stuck with a shoddy nightclub after a job gone wrong, Frank has to figure out how to rebuild something he never even wanted. That's just the first of his problems. In Sankta Varath, the greatest city in the Steelheart Kingdom, he'll have to party with orcs, barter with gnomes, drink with dwarves, and make shady deals with the city's underworld — all while managing a staff that includes a drow bartender, a religious zealot waitress, an ogre bouncer with a sleeping problem, and an orc dancer. Frank isn't a manager, has zero people skills, and even fewer connections. A cursed sub-class and a game system that actively screws him round out his advantages.

One man, known as Gnat, rises through the ranks to become the Kung of Earth — humanity's representative and defender in a vast galaxy of competing alien powers.

Sexy Steampunk Babes

Bluefishcake

Born into a world where men are outnumbered by women five to one, where airships travel the skies and great beasts stalk the seas, William Ashfield has one desire: freedom. In a feudal society where women rule and men are treated as playing pieces in the great games of noble houses, freedom is difficult to attain — especially when one desires it for more than just themselves. But with tensions growing in the Kingdom of Lindholm and civil war brewing, opportunities may arise for a man born with knowledge of another life and technology completely alien to this world.

Storm's Apprentice

imperfect-tense

B74/100
In the Antorxian Empire, magical talent can be a curse. Dorian hoped he'd never set eyes on a Reeve — one of Antorx's sorcerer-knights — but as mage scouts they were ruthless, thorough, and impossible to hide from. On the day they arrived in his small village, his quiet life as a scribe's apprentice was over. He would be taken to Windshriek Academy, where harsh conditions and cruel punishments would either turn him into a loyal sorcerer for the Empire, or destroy him. There were no other outcomes, and no magical talent was permitted to foster outside of Antorxian control.

D.K. Landtroop

Surviving the first days of a reality-warping apocalypse, William is a wreck hiding in an attic. The daily acid storms, floating elementals, and bizarre mutated animals are the least of his problems — the apocalypse has rules and a system much like those in video games, and he has no idea how any of it works. Staying alive isn't enough. William will need to bring other survivors together and build a fortification large enough for all of them if he ever wants to strike back at the things that took everyone he loved.

Second Life as a Soldier

Soldier_of_Avalon

B72/100
He died a nobody. Now he's reborn in a body beaten and left for dead — no family, no food, no future. In the Kingdom of Avalon, strength isn't just respected, it's survival. Power is ranked by Tiers, magic is earned through blood and elemental affinity, and those without talent are nothing more than fodder for war. Edward has neither noble blood nor rare talent. What he does have is an iron will, a sharp mind, and the stubborn refusal to stay down. Desperate for food, shelter, and a second chance, he enlists in the Royal Army, trading the uncertainty of the streets for the grueling discipline of military life. The road ahead is long and unforgiving — but with each step, Edward edges closer to something greater: growth, purpose, and perhaps a place in a kingdom that would rather see him buried than crowned.
