Secrets and Starships

L.E. Lauri

F16/100
Heath was piloting the Wandering Loon on a cargo run through deep space when a freak astral storm destroyed his plans. Limping into port in a barely-functional ship, every seasoned spacer agrees the smart move is to sell the Loon for parts and start fresh. Heath refuses. Determined to restore the ship and preserve his uncle's legacy, he assembles a new crew and seizes any opportunity — from dabbling with smugglers to supplying frontier explorers — to make it as independent haulers. But life on the Rim demands constant growth: get strong enough to defend themselves or get crushed. And what Heath has inherited may be far more dangerous than just a starship and a dream.

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.

Incarnation of Sorcery

GeorgieD

F15/100
The Realmbreaker Wars unleashed a thousand world-ending Calamities. One such Calamity decided to become an academy teacher. Ryland is one of the oldest living apocalypses the war produced. Experimenting with dangerous rift magic shattered his body and scattered its pieces across the cosmos — pieces that, when left alone, often turn into new Calamities. Armed with a thousand spell glyphs from a thousand worlds, Ryland sets out to stop more of his blood droplets from becoming mad demigods. To do so he must return to his academy, recover his old research, and teach a few oddball students along the way — all while passing an entrance trial gone haywire, fending off Fate itself, and keeping Calamity-worshipping cults from ruining his club activities.

TomaTheCar

Reborn as a twisted demonic entity in the fiery pits, she retains her godlike stats and a single ability but starts fresh at Level 1 in a brutal, unforgiving underworld. Guided by an enigmatic guardian angel, she must grind levels and slaughter hordes of demons just for a chance to return to the world of the living. In a realm built to break the damned, can the ultimate hero conquer Hell itself — or will her emerging demonic instincts consume what remains of her humanity?

Overtaken Online

Ben Ormstad

F15/100
The world's first FPS VR-MMORPG with 100% immersion, Overtaken Online blends the frantic energy of classic shooters like Doom and Dead Space with RPG leveling and skill progression. Dex Walsh, a 33-year-old game designer still reeling from the death of his wife, sells everything and logs in. Instead of the welcoming tutorial zone he expected, he wakes up naked in a gas-filled prison cell with no gear and no idea how to escape — and no one around who wants him alive. Under-leveled and hunted from the start, Dex must blast through waves of demonic aliens, rescue prisoners, and claw his way toward something worth living for.

Hayden's Book

GS Hodgson

F15/100
Hayden logs into Waara, a virtual world promising to fulfill every desire — two setting suns, grand battles on the Plains of Deadalon, endless adventure. Then the system crashes on him. Instead of a comfortable chair with a view, he wakes up in a pitch-black mine with no memory of how he got there, thrust into a world of pain and disaster. Waara's promises ring hollow when you're the one who always gets the worst of it.

Practicing Death

Runewriter

F15/100
What does it mean to learn from your own death? Seventeen was supposed to die in a frozen granary-fort. Instead, a forgotten spirit pulls him back. Every death sends him to the same starting line with a little more knowledge, a little more skill, and a growing weight of visions he does not understand. The System inside him offers no guidance — its skills surface under pressure, and the things he sees in death do not fade. They accumulate. To survive, Seventeen must turn every death into information, outthink the men who own him, protect the few people worth saving, and uncover why the world around him is beginning to twist. What starts as a brutal struggle to escape a granary-fort grows into something far larger: border wars, hidden orders, and old powers moving in the dark.

Because the Planar Lords aren't planning to stop at the death of one world. Leo's world may not have been the first to fall at their hands. But he plans to make it the last.

Level: Unknown

David Dalglish

F15/100
An ancient alien artifact chooses research cadet Nick to explore Yensere — a world of forgotten empires, strange powers, and monstrous creatures stored within it. The catch: he can only get there when he sleeps, and the diseased inhabitants of Yensere see him as a demonic threat and kill him on sight. Each death sends him back to the research station. Each sleep pulls him back to Yensere. Nick can only sustain this cycle for so long — but Yensere may hold the key to saving humanity from a terrible fate, so he ventures deeper, growing stronger with every enemy defeated.

The Fated Archer: Reborn with 999 Luck

Nora_Cat

F15/100
Ten years of grinding. A decade as one of the top thousand archers in the VRMMORPG Godpath, held back by a single cursed stat: -3 Luck. Legendary drops that should have been his went to everyone else. Then he wakes up ten years in the past, the day before the game launches — and the curse is gone, replaced by Luck: 999. Every hidden quest, every world-first boss kill, every legendary bow that should have been his is now within reach. Fate had its fun. Now it's his turn.

Deathstalker Demigods

Kurtis Eckstein

F15/100
Waking up to discover the apocalypse had begun — and that he was no longer human — was not how he thought his day would go. He'd apparently been a mindless monster for the last several months. The city is a mess, massive black towers rising like thorns from destroyed buildings. Strangest of all: a visual hallucination displaying game-like stats. The monsters and bizarre landscape aren't the weirdest part of this apocalypse.
