Split Second

idkmanseemssketchy

When the System arrived to integrate Earth into the wider cosmos, Kira was in the middle of something. Now she faces an apocalypse she can't quite bring herself to mourn — life as she knew it wasn't something she wanted to continue. Conflicted about the right emotional response, Kira focuses on what she does know: the System mentioned mana, which means magic. Her affinity turns out to be Time, and time shenanigans, it seems, are just getting started.

Arcane Ascension

Andrew Rowe

Five years ago, Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire — a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those who reach the top will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor on a mission to find his brother. If he can survive the trials, Corin will earn an attunement — but that won't be sufficient to survive the dangers on the upper levels.

12 Miles Below

Mark Arrows

S87/100
The world is in ruins. Extreme sub-zero temperatures suffocate the surface, making even simple survival an ordeal. The only escape from the deadly climate is underground — but that brings its own disasters: monstrous machines lurking in the depths, land that shifts like contraption more than rock, and only demigods powerful enough to travel deeper. When an expedition into the far uncharted north goes terribly wrong, Keith Winterscar and his father are trapped together in a desperate fight for survival. Stumbling upon an ancient war of titanic scale, the two must set aside their differences while they struggle against gods, legends, and the grand secrets of the realm that lies below.

1% Lifesteal

Robert Blaise

S87/100
Freddy Stern, a twenty-one-year-old cashier, has lived a plain, albeit harsh life. Having been orphaned twice, he's spent the last ten years working and staying out of trouble. His only aspiration is to save enough money to become an archhuman. His dream gets the jump on him when he barely survives a near-death encounter and finds himself with 1% Lifesteal — a bizarre talent with numerous contradictions and just as many uses. With every dead enemy, he becomes a bit stronger, a little wiser, and a lot more ruthless. And no matter how much damage he takes, he can always put himself back together. Physically, at least. But on his path to power, after having to look at the rotting guts of archhuman society again and again, can his talent keep his mind and soul as pristine as his body? Or will that part of him simply remain broken?

Jax is a pretty regular guy with a job he tolerates and a girl he kinda loves — and he fights creatures from the UnderVerse in his sleep, waking covered in horrific scars. When his brother vanishes and five years later Jax is kidnapped as well, his father gives him a stark choice: travel to the UnderVerse in reality, reach the capitol of that ruined realm at the center of existence, and open a portal for the Noble Houses to return home — or die slowly.

The Archmage Coefficient

onedayokay

S87/100
Magic was chaos. Now it's chemistry. Through Stoichiomancy, power is measured, quantified, and controlled. Ascension follows a strict ladder, each tier with a fixed number of sanctioned seats. There are no anomalies — until Arielle Blacksoil. Born to a bloodline without magic, Arielle should have been invisible to the system. Instead, an accident reveals the impossible: she's an unsanctioned archmage. If discovered, they'll strip her power or turn her into a weapon. To survive, Arielle enrolls in the Academy and pretends to climb the ranks while hiding magic that eclipses her professors. For the first time in her life she has rivals, teammates — maybe even friends. But hiding overwhelming power isn't easy, and soon she's embroiled in faction conflict, foiling villainous plots, and hunting a mysterious primordial that lurks in the dark.

In seventy-two hours, the greatest manhunt in gaming history begins.
