Indomitable Prey

OCRAuthor

D41/100
Lamb dies. That part is simple. Waking up naked and hogtied in a forest full of armed strangers is another matter entirely. Within hours he is given a knife, a few rushed directions toward distant civilization, and left alone in mountains filled with creatures powerful enough to kill him outright. If he wants to live long enough to matter, he will need to grow stronger fast. Power is measured in levels and skills, and the combat class he needs can only be claimed at level fifteen — if the wilderness doesn't kill him first. So he runs, climbs, and learns to turn terrain, instinct, and sheer stubborn endurance into his only real advantages. Far beyond the horizon, powerful figures are already beginning to take an interest in the God-Touched newcomer.

The City and the Dungeon

Matthew Schmidt

D41/100
The City is an immense metropolis of crystal spires and wondrous magic. Beneath it lies the Dungeon — a vast underground world, source of endless treasure guarded by grotesque and deadly monsters. No one knows where the Dungeon came from, or why. Anyone who dares its dangers must first be transformed into a delver, a quasi-immortal creature defined entirely by numbers. Yet the immortality offered is illusionary: without consuming the crystal found only within the Dungeon, a delver will inevitably die. One young immigrant braves the Dungeon to send money home to his family — and finds much, much more.

Summus Proelium

CeruleanScrawling

D41/100
Cassidy Evans grew up in a wealthy family in an incredibly prosperous Detroit. Twenty years ago, random people across the world began encountering small, mysterious glowing orbs that granted them amazing superpowers. Through those two decades, Detroit transformed from a failing city into a hub of super-tech manufacturing — and Cassidy's parents stand at the top of it all. But there are secrets in her past. A simple act of sneaking out will set off a domino effect as she witnesses a murder, gains her own powers, and barely escapes with her life. Her first night out is a busy one — and it's only the start. As Cassidy will learn, it isn't the constant super-powered gang fights and life-and-death decisions that truly weigh on you. It's the Family Business.

Rise of the Mechanar

Gallekryde

D40/100
At twenty years old, Nicholas has lived his life to fulfil a vow.

Not all plans survive. When heathen invaders upend everything, Nicholas swears another promise and finds himself alone in the wilderness of the old continent, surrounded by enemies both monster and human. Drawing on ancient powers that may finally provide the answers he sought, he must tread carefully — because he may turn into something that even monsters fear.

Data Dragon Danika

gusdefrog

D40/100
After a great deal of preparation, Danika begins her new digital dragon's life in a very small way. The "Living Jade Empire" is said to create individualized quests, read your mind, and reveal your heart's desire — but the reality is more grounded and stranger. The game is a data mine, built to retell the old stories humans have passed down since language was invented. It doesn't read your mind, but it reads your search history, your favorites, and your blogs. The "Living Jade Empire" is literally crafted from fables, legends, and fantasies. In the end, will the game figure out what Danika truly wants? Or will playing it change her until she desires what it can give her?

The Lich King Reincarnates as a Baby

Of Rantings and Ramblings

D40/100
Lord Dread was the first lich in history and the greatest magical prodigy the world has ever seen. The Gods themselves feared his potential and banished him for it. They should have been more thorough. After freeing himself from a prison of countless millennia, Lord Dread finds his powers diminished and his body that of a baby girl — born to an aristocratic family. With a fresh chance to re-learn magic better than he taught himself originally, his sights are set on regaining his former glory. He must learn this strange new era, rebuild the dark empire he once used to challenge even the Gods, and take revenge on the fearful divinity that struck him down. This would be easier if girls could inherit land — but Lord Dread has never let a little thing like that get in his way.

Viridescent Core

BlurryDreams

D40/100
Mortals see dungeons many ways — a plague to destroy, a resource to harvest, a place to train and advance. But all of them agree on one thing: dungeons are unnatural and deadly, places where death stalks every corner and monsters thrive. What mortals forget, in their hubris of tools and civilizations, is that Mother Nature is often the deadliest of all.

Theft of Decks

Lars Machmüller

D40/100
In the frontier town of Isarn, Chase will never be more than the lowly Darkborn thief he is. Banned from training, banned from acquiring better cards — if the Lightborn had their way, he'd be banned from life itself. But Chase and his friends have determination. Losing a hand to brutal punishment only fueled his obsession to get access to reality-bending cards. Nobody cares where you came from when you're rich enough. Facing established powers, churches, and age-old prejudices, Chase and his crew must fight back — and if the Lightborn won't share, sometimes the only way to get dealt a better hand is to steal the whole deck.

Death's Disciple

TT.Reynolds

D40/100
Sometimes it's the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder — and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of Death itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else: humanity is greedy and weak, and without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated — but humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because something far worse than the Dungeons is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready.
