Chasing Sunlight

InadvisablyCompelled

S86/100
In a world of lightless skies and endless secrets, humanity endures as a vigil of light against eternal darkness. Under the Illuminated King and the Reflected Council, a veteran explorer assembles an expedition to the far east — a place no sane man would go — because Jonathan Heights claims to have seen sunlight. Sunlight is a laughable myth, but he will not be stopped. Wonders and horrors both lie between the human lands and his goal: long-forgotten things that could not be recorded on any map. As crown agents and underworld figures join Jonathan aboard the airship Endeavor, motives remain uncertain and the truth stays shrouded.

Throne Hunters

Phil Tucker

S86/100
Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him—until he enters the dungeon beneath Flutic and receives a demon's dark blessing. Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, he now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and the celestial war burning beneath the city's streets. The dungeon reshapes him with every victory—but at what cost?

A Practical Guide to Evil

ErraticErrata

S86/100
The Empire stands triumphant. For twenty years the Dread Empress has ruled over the lands that were once the Kingdom of Callow, but behind the scenes of this dawning golden age, threats to the crown are rising. The nobles of the Wasteland weave their plots behind pleasant smiles, rebellion stirs beyond Peren Woods, and the First Prince of Procer ponders whether a crusade might secure her reign. Yet none of this matters, for in the heart of the conquered lands the most dangerous man alive sat across an orphan girl and offered her a knife. Her name is Catherine Foundling, and she has a plan.

The Natural

Lightningwarrior

S86/100
Leo's first order of business when he is dropped unceremoniously into the Pokémon world is to survive. Seeing as he is in the middle of the wild with only a small pocketknife, some papers, and a backpack — and with no signs of civilization in sight — that is setting up to be quite the task.

Weapons and Wielders

Andrew Rowe

S86/100
It doesn't take a legendary sword to make a legendary swordsman, but it certainly helps. Keras Selyrian is already well on his way to cutting his name into the annals of legend — he's fought false divinities, thieving sorcerers, and corrupt demigods, and left them defeated in his wake. He's got a sword of unfathomable power, but it's damaged and leaking world-annihilating mana, so he's in the market for a new one. Possibly six. The Six Sacred Swords are Kaldwyn's most famous artifacts, forged as the only means to defeat the god beasts, and no single person has ever managed to collect them all. Not yet, at least. Keras is just getting started. A light-hearted fantasy adventure taking place in the same universe as the Arcane Ascension novels.

The Infinite World

JT Wright

S86/100
In the Infinite World, nations and races rise and fall almost daily. New Classes are discovered, old ways are lost, and monsters roam a land where heroes and villains forge new epics — often dying in the process. Trent Embra navigates this ever-shifting world, maturing from a soldier's trainee into something more as each trial tests his limits and reshapes who he is.

Battle Through the Nine Realms

Shawn Wilson

S85/100
Ragnarok is near and the Vikings of Midgard have failed to prevent it. Searching all worlds for one last warrior, Odin's eye falls on Magnus — an Army Ranger whose death took his entire team with him. Summoned before the All-Father, Magnus strikes a bargain: be reborn in Midgard, empower himself through mystical runes, and battle Odin's foes — in exchange for his team getting a second chance at life if he succeeds. Waking in a small farming village, Magnus must train and battle mundane foes and mythological creatures across all Nine Realms.

The Dungeon Without a System

StrangerDanger51

S85/100
The unnamed main character wakes up as a Dungeon Core. Instead of being deep within the earth or in a cave, this newly-minted Dungeon Core finds himself drifting to the beach of an uncharted and uninhabited island.

Blood & Fur

Maxime J. Durand (Void Herald)

S85/100
A new emperor rules each year in Yohuachanca. Only the most delicious food graces his palate, the realm's most beautiful women fill his harem, his palace dazzles the mind — and at the year's end, he is sacrificed to the Nightlords under the light of the Scarlet Moon. Iztac is a pisspoor orphan and this year's emperor. A sacrifice bound for the altar. But the vampires have made a mistake: Iztac is a sorcerer whose soul can journey into the secret underworld to plunder the spells of the dead. There, in the darkness, hides the power to drag the Nightlords off their throne. He has a year to find it — or perish for good. He may not be the first emperor, but he will be the last.

The Many Lives of Cadence Lee

vladerag

S85/100
Cadence Lee thought she was a normal girl. She had her college classes, her job, and a nice boyfriend. Then a mugger accosts them — and Cadence ends up shot. A normal girl with that kind of wound would die. Cadence managed to do that part. But then she opens her eyes again and learns that death is not as permanent for her as it is for other people. She can be reborn, again and again, each time stronger and with new abilities. The catch: any world she is born into, she can never return to. She has infinite lives, but only one life for each.

ARMOR

Seersucker

Created as the ultimate dungeon trap — a living suit of armor that devours any adventurer who dons it — the narrator was built for its master's entertainment, leading adventurers to ruin and betraying them at the last moment. This time was supposed to be no different. Instead, it finds itself living the life of an adventurer, hoping its companions won't realize it's not who — or what — they think it is.

Jumanji

Chris Van Allsburg

S85/100
The game under the tree looked like a hundred others Peters and Judy had at home. But they were bored and looking for something interesting to do, so they gave Jumanji a try. Little did they know when they unfolded its ordinary-looking playing board that they were about to be plunged into the most exciting and bizarre adventure of their lives. Chris Van Allsburg's classic picture book explores the ever-shifting line between fantasy and reality, as a quiet house is taken over by an exotic jungle.

Courting Death

Blue Moon 13

S85/100
Martin Zheng has always held dying hands and listened for the hush that comes after the final heartbeat. It's his gift, his burden — until the night he gives his own life to shove a child away from speeding headlights and awakens in Death's embrace. She is Thanara: silver-haired, star-eyed, lonelier than the long darkness she guides. For one stolen moment, two caretakers share a tenderness deeper than fear. Then the cosmos declares his death "an error" and hurls him back to existence. Reborn as Mingxuan in the Elemental Realm — where sword-saints carve mountains and power is measured in the lives you can end — Martin remembers only fragments: a scent of rain-drenched lilacs, a pulse in his chest, a promise to meet Death again. While rival sects chase immortality, he walks the forbidden Dao of Death, mastering the grace of endings so he can stand beside the woman no one dares to love.
