The Sorcerer's Saga

Rain Oxford

D39/100
In a world where sorcerers practice only dark magic and wizards practice only light, Ayden Dracre — youngest of seven sons in a family of notorious sorcerers — has a fundamental problem: he is very bad at being bad. Every spell meant to cause mayhem goes comically wrong. When his family finally loses patience, Ayden is given one chance to prove himself worthy of the sorcerer name: defeat the greatest wizard in all the lands. The catch is that he has no idea how to fight with magic — and no desire to hurt anyone. Surviving his quest will require the most unlikely allies imaginable.

The Rise of Resurgence

Joshua W. Nelson

D39/100
Alex Stanton was living every gamer's dream — he was getting paid to play. The latest generation of virtual reality gaming was being beta tested by AltCon, with never-before-seen graphical detail and a fully functional whole body immersion system. AltCon was so serious about their beta that they paid testers a salary to ensure their lives revolved around the game. But odd things start happening from the outset — things Alex can't explain. Like every hardcore gamer, he has no problem ignoring the little things to focus on the grander design. In time, even the littlest things pile up, and Alex is forced to ask himself: what's really going on in Resurgence?

Homestead Survival

Akmedrah

D39/100
Theo wanted a quiet weekend in the mountains. Julia wanted one last escape before facing a reality she didn't want waiting for her back home. They were strangers on the same trail, chasing the same beautiful morning. Instead, they got the System. In a single impossible moment, the world changes. Reality rewrites itself, and Theo and Julia are left stranded on a brutal wilderness plateau where the old rules no longer apply — Stats, Skills, and Creatures that should not exist. If they want to live, they will have to learn fast. But as survival turns into routine, and routine slowly becomes something more, the lonely plateau begins to change with them. What starts as a desperate struggle to survive may become the foundation of a home.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

D39/100
A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

Lich Lord

Levi Werner

Reincarnated in the body of a Lich — an enemy to all — that's just problem number one. Zeke was only playing the villain to blow off steam. Now he's stuck in the body of one. Trapped in a hostile world, he must flee his former guild into a holy kingdom ruled by the Church of Olattee. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. His power is gone and he must start over.

Project Chrysalis

John Gold

D38/100
Chrysalis is the project of the century: a hyper-realistic fantasy RPG where government orphans are placed in virtual families to receive the love and upbringing they never had. It's designed to mold children into healthy adults. Something went very wrong for twelve-year-old Anji. Instead of loving parents and simple lessons, he finds himself in Hell — performing bloody rituals, evading demons, and fighting to survive the nine circles of the game's most forsaken place. Betrayed for the sake of someone else's plan, he has nothing left but rage and the knowledge that the truth behind Project Chrysalis is far darker than anyone realizes.

Jack Jensen is a middle-aged nobody in an uninteresting town, having sampled every job available and excelled at nothing but growing his beer gut and his luxurious curly hair. His life is one of unrealized potential. Things change when his brother, an Army Major, lands a helicopter in the parking lot of Jack's barely-profitable gaming store — desperately thrusting the perennial slacker into the role of saving the country, the world, and, most unlikely of all, himself.

The Trickster's Tale

J. Pal

D38/100
Everyone wants to be the chosen one — the perks include overpowered abilities, world-breaking equipment, and an eager line of partners. But due to a goddess's clumsy meddling, a struggling musician named Perry ends up accidentally transmigrated alongside her true chosen one, with none of the above. Demanding a portal home wins him no respect. Instead, Perry finds himself thrust into a world of magic, monsters, and a wisecracking System. His courage earns him severely diminished proportions and a brand that cripples his combat potential. Nothing, however, can stand in the way of Perry's sheer will. If brute strength and arcane powers won't get him the justice he desires, bardic wit, musical talent, and creativity will.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D38/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

New Game Minus

Sarah Lin

D38/100
Bloodwraith thought of himself as an effective villain, until a single adventurer destroyed his entire lair. With his last breath, he switched bodies with the adventurer — and discovered that his world was built on lies. Alien beings from another dimension were using his world as a game, and now he was one of them. The problem: Bloodwraith has no experience being an adventurer. He was a mage, but his new body only hits things. He relied on undead minions, but now must depend on other people. And strange boxes keep appearing in his vision describing the world in unfamiliar terms. To survive, he'll need to learn the truth about himself — and that means acting like an adventurer, at least for now.

Burning Starlight

Ryan Stennet

D38/100
Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.

Lennox chased criminals across the galaxy until a scrambled wormhole pulled him from everything he knew and dropped him in a fantasy world with a system interface. On Komax, two factions wage endless war: the lizard-folk of the Scaly Faction against the elves, dwarves, and humans of the Ordinatus Faction. Lennox's years of training translate to impressive stats and legendary gear — but he isn't interested in being anyone's hero. Fate, however, has other ideas.
