Monarch

Extra27

C55/100
Rayne was a bastard — the only son of the fallen Duke Frayser, cast aside to die in an army that hated him for being alive. Then a soul from Earth took over his body. With the common class of a Soldier, a Lineage Quest to complete, and a unique trait for stealing skills, he must grow strong enough to survive a gritty world. Fighting goblins, trolls, and necromancers, he works to earn reputation and prestige in a kingdom that branded his bloodline as traitors — with kingdom building waiting in later volumes.

Earth's First StarFighter

Han Yang

C55/100
A massive wormhole rips open above Earth and aliens arrive — not conquerors, but merchant traders called the Iglax, who offer advanced technology in exchange for cheap labor in the asteroid belt. The aliens test humans individually for miner rentals, and a skilled pilot can earn a spaceship and a contract. When one puddle-jumper pilot tests above and beyond all expectations, he is offered something better than a mining ship: Earth's First StarFighter.

A Bioweapon's Rhapsody

Alexanders (Katsu)

C55/100
Four white walls, a small room to sleep in, and an adjacent combat testing area — that was the life of Subject P4. Fight or solve logic puzzles, defeat enemies to eat and integrate their designs, or receive nutrient paste if you fail. That was until, after a combat test, P4 managed to trigger the generation of a Mana Core and got away with it. The System gave the tools to fight toward freedom. Now the only goal is to keep that freedom and carry on the prime directives burned into the Core after escaping: Eat. Grow. Evolve.

How to Save a Failing Magical Girl

EriLuckish

C53/100
After four years working as a magical girl, Adah is a certified nobody. In a system where popularity equals power, she's unknown and underleveled — all she has is one pea-shooter spell and a pig mascot who talks too much for his own good. That changes when her public meltdown goes viral. Rebranding as the dark magical girl Twilight Heartbreak, her popularity skyrockets, bringing new spells, new fans, and new threats. Thrust into the spotlight, she finds herself on the front lines of a war against soul-reaping monsters and inside a cutthroat industry full of personalities that might be even more dangerous. Can Adah extend her fifteen minutes of fame when everything — and everyone — around her is trying to cut it short?

Cultivator Andy

Walker Miles

C51/100
Wake up. Mine crystals. Don't die. That's the job, and Andy doesn't remember ever having a different one. The guards have guns. The other workers have agendas. The tunnels have monsters that shouldn't exist. On his first shift, surrounded by men who've already made their peace with the dark, he decides he won't be one of them. Then he finds the cavern — crystals bigger than anything on the work floor, whispering secrets the guards would kill to keep buried. It's a path to power, maybe a path out. But he'll have to hide it from everyone until he's strong enough to stop hiding. No one leaves the mine alive. Andy intends to be the first.

Tower of Cards

J. Pal

C51/100
Almost half a century has passed since prison ships discovered the mysterious Tower rising out of the Indian Ocean, known as Gaia. Monarchies and trading giants came together to build a city around it and contain the monsters spilling out of its rune-covered structure. The few who dared enter and climb it learned the magic of Gaia's runic cards. Most people enter the Tower seeking fame, fortune, or power. Not Diya Sen. He climbs hoping to find clues about his missing brother and to solve Gaia's mysteries — but warring noble houses stand in his way. Perhaps the talents of a Spell Thief will help where the direct approach cannot.

Resistance Above Magic

B.T. Narro, Beatrix Grinn

C48/100
Ancient powers are about to collide. The world is on the verge of changing, and all Levy wanted was to start leveling. Stuck with a specialization mostly used for buffing in towns for coin, Levy doesn't see it as a disadvantage — even if everyone else does. He expected to take the road most traveled, but it looks like he'll have to carve his own path and be the first enchanter to reach max level. First he'd better learn everything he can about the system of mana that seems to have a grudge against mankind — and may even have something to do with the burgeoning war.

No Place for Hope

M. E. Cuartas

C48/100
In a cosmos fractured into human subspecies — shaped by extreme worlds and locked into brutal caste and race-purity hierarchies — an RPG-based System reigns supreme. Its second law forbids all automation: every machine, every spell, every tool must be guided by a living hand. Hope is a street-raised orphan from a dead-rock wasteland. Hurled onto an Earth-like planet full of grass, clouds, and color he has never seen, he must heed the ping of system messages, hunt and be hunted, and level up in a place built to test him. The planet-side survival arc gives way, in time, to the spacefaring world of feudal space pirates that defines his fate.
