Manifestation

Samuel Hinton

C45/100
Born with an enormous well of power but no way to regenerate it, Raysha has been treated as an outcast her entire life. While others use aeon as commonly as breathing, she must ration her power drop-by-drop in a world where true masters have slaughtered gods. When her brother arrives from the Academy with a dangerous idea — that a crystalized ancient spirit heart might cure her — Raysha jumps at the chance. With her enchanted water bottle in hand, the pair head out into the wider world in search of the impossible.

Arachnomancer

Dustin Tigner

C45/100
Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion — every bone crushed against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck. His soul bounced into the abyss between worlds, drifting until an excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home: a heaven for gamers, with classes, killing mobs, and a beautiful fantasy world full of mysteries. At least, it would have been those things if his first day had gone a little differently. Instead, he finds himself locked in an eternal conflict between light and shadow — humans and monsters — potentially as the enemy to all. Join Dhane as he explores his new world, full of unique characters, RPG mechanics, and spiders — ugly, terrifying spiders — while learning what it means to be an Arachnomancer.

Osamaru Ta

Jeremiah Bridge had it all: a clear path to becoming an inter-planar veterinarian, a life of privilege in Prima City, and the unwavering support of his brilliant sister Sarah. Everything crumbles when Sarah is framed as a villain and killed in disgrace. Branded by association and cast into the chaotic streets of Nexus — a world where magic, technology, and myth collide — Jeremiah is left with nothing but questions, grief, and a strange pendant pulsing with mysterious power. When the System, Sarah's final unfinished masterpiece, chooses him, it pulls him into a world of impossible creatures, cryptic bargains, and shadowed truths Sarah never shared. There's just one thing he can't figure out: why does it want him to open a pet shop? A story about revenge, grief, redemption, and finding good homes for good boys.

Now his one powerful magical ability — invisibility — holds him back from the greater heights he craves. After five years struggling to overcome his blocked wizardry, and with his parents declared legally dead, Kole faces a choice: stay home and train as a Mirage Knight, or set out alone to seek answers at the Academy of Illunia, the center of all magical learning.

Return of the Martial Messiah

ToraAKR

C45/100
ZionLine's promise was irresistible: triple your lifespan. The price? Surviving an unknown world rife with brutal combat, where gruesome deaths are terrifyingly real. For a desperate humanity, it was a price worth paying. But beneath the time dilation's gleaming facade lies a horrific truth that Earth's elite will kill to conceal. Raine KongRu has seen this future before — he lived through the captivity it heralds, and he knows there is precious little time to consolidate his power before millions die again. Under the guise of Alaric, Raine is hunted by those with the means to see him dead in both worlds. CronGate was once his home, its leaders his mentors, its people his own. They taught him everything he knew — and enslaved him for a lifetime. The feeling is mutual.

Maradina

C45/100
Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. Born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with the distant war. All she wants is to sail to a legendary island city and bring back a vial of healing seawater for her sickly mother. But when leviathans attack her ship and strand her in the middle of the sea, she's forced to pick a class from a system. Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home — but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has less than a one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying.

Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.

Vnator

In the dark caverns of a secluded dungeon, Click the spider is born with the impossibly rare gift of great Intelligence. Only the strongest of monsters can hope to survive in the savage dungeon, and Click must make the most of their unique abilities to come out on top — or at least alive. Click can best be described as Lawful-Neutral, finding merit in making and benefitting from allies rather than trampling everything underfoot. Not a hero, but definitely not a mindlessly evil villain.

In a future where top gamers are celebrities, Liam is pulled into an obscure virtual world called the Crucible Shard — starting at level one with no gear, no skills, and no roadmap. What begins as survival in a dungeon quickly expands into something far larger: a throne, a kingdom, and forces that span beyond the game itself. As Liam rises from penniless player to King of Galea, he must contend with unreliable allies, relentless enemies, and a goddess who has promised to be his destruction. The line between the virtual world and Earth blurs as artificial intelligences pursue their own ambitions across both realms.

He finds himself in a decaying castle constructed by a mysterious people, now filled with purposeless undead caught in an ancient war entering its final stages.
