Chronicle

Kevin Murphy

C57/100
Game capsules transport players to a new world where time is perceived far more slowly — making them more than entertainment; they're extra hours in which to study, work, or relax. Chronicle has become more than a game for governments, businesses, and players alike. When Corbin Landrick finally gets his hands on a ChronPod, he jumps headfirst into his second life. While he struggles to plant both feet firmly on the ground in a world of magic and monsters, he finds out that virtual reality is what you make of it.

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100
To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

Theodorus Sideris

C57/100
The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to desperate existence in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula — its fall not a possibility, but a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis, a history professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house, has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, shifting alliances, and military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where intrigue and diplomacy achieve as much as a raised army, battles are won through strategy rather than superpowers, and no character is safe from the crucible of war and politics.

Anthem of Infinity

Blaise Corvin, Outspan Foster

C57/100
It has been two years since the Shift — when most technology stopped working and the laws of physics changed. Humanity has been brought to its knees. Like other survivors, Noah Henson has heard rumors of the Aelves, who seem as good an explanation as any for what caused the Shift. But for Noah, survival comes first — sometimes even before self-respect. Lawless, post-apocalypse America has forced him to make many difficult decisions, and he has never seemed to choose correctly. He will get a lucky break in a big way, though: a mysterious orb with otherworldly power. In time, perhaps Noah will find another path — and if he does die during the Shift, maybe it won't be the end of his story.

Rise of Kers

Daniel Weber

C57/100
When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question — how is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together they delight in exploring his weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventurers to plumb his lofty heights. But other dungeons — each with their own unique resources and machinations — soon take an interest in Kers, and the Adventurers Guild does not take kindly to "irregular" dungeons.

He gains levels, recruits members, and builds his base of power — all in a race against a threat only he knows is coming.

Superheroes and Magic Invasions

Belial666

C57/100
In the town of Destiny, Florida, magic portals open and spew out undead horrors. A few lucky survivors discover that killing the invaders grants magic powers following familiar game and comic-book tropes. For Maya Wennefer, that's only the beginning of her problems. Invaders from another world, ordinary people discovering easier paths to power, and the government's reaction to the new reality — surviving all of it is hard enough, let alone becoming a superhero. As chaos spreads and stronger monsters appear, human greed may yet prove more dangerous than any invader.

Xianxia Senior Brother of a Heavens Favoured

Trixx

In preparation for his younger sister entering the sect, he pushes for his breakthrough and enters the Inner Sect of the Clear Mirror Sect. The new disciple intake, however, is unlike any before it: prodigies from prestigious clans and talents from across the continent, some even matching the great sects. Heaven's Gaze itself is fixated on the new disciples, signalling a heaven's favoured among them. Faust sweats as he worries whether his plan to live leisurely and raise his family into a fledgling Nascent Soul clan will survive the chaos that's coming.

Shaman's Call

Sean Oswald

C56/100
Frank never planned for the afterlife — he didn't even believe in one, certainly not one controlled by an AI. After failing to read the small print in his contract, he finds himself stuck in a new world as an ogre shaman. The AI's System commands this world, and Frank is at its mercy. The ogres think Frank is some kind of messiah; the humans think he's just XP walking. All Frank wants is to make the best of his strange new reality and find someone worth talking to. Instead he finds himself caught between powers far beyond him in a struggle for the fate of not just one world — and his suspicions that it's no game at all grow with every step.

Starblood

Roman Prokofiev, Sofia Shcherbakova

C56/100
When the ark began emergency jettisoning colonists, one got unlucky three times: his capsule was shot down above a forbidden Circle, crashed next to the White Devil's tomb, and he climbed into a wounded noxwolf's lair and discovered Starblood. Other Ascendants would call it good fortune — but had he left it alone, he might have remained a normal person. Now someone with a Slate, Attributes, and Runes isn't a typical colonist from Earth in a world that's far from ordinary — especially when he has a voice in his head. A spinoff set in the same universe as Project Stellar, Starblood follows those who escaped Earth's catastrophe into deep space.
