Viridescent Core

BlurryDreams

D41/100
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.

Dressed To Kill

Crown Fall

D41/100
In an impoverished border town with a dwindling population, Gwen Tailor aims to change things. She is the daughter of the Seamstress class, stitching with speed that borders on magic — but armed with a giant piercing needle, she is also a monster slayer. At the town's core lies a dungeon, the source of all local despair and decline. For every kill, each creature's pelt, shell, and exoskeleton becomes both protective armor and escalating power. Descending with her friends — a butcher's daughter and a young blacksmith — Gwen will make a harrowing discovery about the true roots of her town's decay.

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 City and the Dungeon

Matthew Schmidt

D40/100
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.

The Phoenix

The Phoenix

D40/100
She entered the Tower seeking death. Instead, she keeps finding reasons to live. In this life she is Bella, a jaded med student trying to catch up on centuries of medical innovation — or at least she was, before the Tower appeared. With the promise that she would find whatever she sought at the top, she entered hoping to end her curse. But even with hundreds of lives of experience to draw on, reaching the top is no easy task. The Tower is filled with wonders she could only dream of, and what she once believed was the peak of power turns out to be only the first rung of a much larger climb. Her foundations are unshakable, but the Tower is deeper, deadlier, and more exhilarating than anything she has ever faced.
