Secrets

David Musk

B61/100
Mana artists rule the world, and the path to power is a well-kept secret — restricted to state-approved programs and schools. Akari Zeller will never be a mana artist. Not if society has its way. She's a Bronze with no money, no family, and no connections. But technology is advancing too. And to a skilled hacker like Akari, no secret is safe forever. The dark web holds the keys to true power, advancement, and her only chance of survival.

Path of the Last Champion

TheWanderingWind

C59/100
Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.

The Power of Ten: Book One: Sama Rantha, and Book Two: The Far Future

RE Druin

C59/100
Some time ago, a planes-traveling archmage invented a video game to train people on Earth for a coming catastrophe. The gods seized the opportunity to take the templates — and even the souls — of some of those characters for use in other worlds. Sama Rantha is one of those characters. Being a Hagchild and surviving after your Hag Curse fails to murder you at birth is much, much less fun than setting it as your race at level one on a gamescreen. Book One follows Sama's Road to Ten in a traditional LitRPG fantasy setting, heavy with gaming terms and rules-lawyering as she min-maxes her heart out to survive a world intent on killing her. Book Two shifts to a sci-fi/fantasy/psionics mashup as Sama is sent into a grim dark galaxy she'd rather not be in — but the heart of a powergamer never says no.

Character Development

Aaron Jay

C59/100
Miles Boone is finally an adult and able to roll up his permanent character in a world where feral AIs and nanomachines have overrun most of the planet, and playing the Game is survival itself. But the Game is rigged against anyone who isn't a member of the Party. A desperate bid to earn a fair chance lands Miles at the mercy of his family's enemies — his freedom and life riding on winning a bet. His enemies have broken his character and stripped his luck stat. How do you play a game without any luck? Miles must outplay corrupt GameMasters, a scheming Party, and the game itself — because his father always said it's how you play that matters.

Respec On Death

Godric

C58/100
Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, over half of the population is gone, culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds — fail to clear them in time, and ten percent of Earth's population dies. Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. When a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for, and something older than the System takes notice. [Skill Activated: Respec on Death.] With each death, Jimmy changes — new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters. The System is watching. The gods are stirring. And Jimmy Novak is becoming something far more dangerous.

His Soul Is Marching On to Another World; or, the John Brown Isekai

The Cabbage Preacher

C58/100
The land of Gemeinplatz is filled with fantastical creatures, adventurers, and heroes — most of them transported from Earth and blessed with cheat skills. On the surface, it's a perfect power-fantasy world where even the most ordinary person can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. Yet beneath this "Gemeinplatzer Dream" is a disgusting truth. To satisfy the needs of heroes who can't function like normal humans, a lucrative slave trade crushes the dreams and ruins the lives of hundreds every day. Demi-humans labor in harems and mansions, treated as less than people by a ruling class with every incentive to keep the system going. In a world where the oppressors are overpowered and the odds are impossible, the hope for the enslaved has a name: John Brown. This time, he'll finish what he started.

Dungeon Inc.

Colossal Soup

C58/100
Dungeon Inc. is the biggest 'fake' reality show on Earth — college kids pretending to be actors, starring as fantasy heroes. But on the other side of the portal, the monsters don't follow scripts, the loot is real, and there's no respawn button. For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

Flossindune

C58/100
The world devolved into chaos as a game-like system reduced the population to a series of statistics and screens. Confusion reigned as everyone struggled to survive in this new reality — everyone but one man. Anthony Franklin had a secret: he had lived through this exact series of events ninety-nine times in a row. Drawing on centuries of accumulated knowledge — every play, shortcut, and strategy — he must save as many lives as possible. He will contend with vicious boss monsters, elude the ever-watching eyes of the system administrators, and guard his back from scheming players with their own agendas. With every individual carrying their own goals, dreams, and fears, shepherding them won't be easy. Win or lose, his 100th run will be his last.

Tal is one of the elite undead soldiers of the Zozheim empire, resurrected from the corpse of an uncounted sacrifice. He does not know the man's name. He does not care. The body is his now.

Layton just wanted a weekend alone in the wilderness. Instead he woke up in a nightmare. Earth has been inducted into a multiversal system, and survival is no longer guaranteed. Forced into a brutal wave dungeon with no warning, no tutorial, and no gear, Layton accidentally locks himself into the weakest class — Healer. That's when things start feeling off. He's leveling far too fast, and his so-called support class feels anything but weak. His only ally is a too-intelligent, bloodthirsty predator that might be more than just an animal. Something is wrong with this system. Layton just has to survive long enough to figure out what.

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C57/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

Resigned to exploring mana cultivation, he never stops searching for his own path as a mage — day after day, season after season — looking for compatible spellwork. All to finally find the only spell he can cast. A journey to discover that even a narrow path of magic can lead to the territory of legends.

Then that dream was stolen from him. Offered only pitiful classes, Adam rejects them all and becomes a weak, worthless Unclassed. His one advantage: a unique inventory skill called Hoard, which lets him store and combine items, skills, and even power — assuming he's willing to fight for them. Adam has five years until his next selection, and plans to grow so strong that the class of his dreams becomes a laughable step down. His first step: joining the Rift Delving Association. His next: entering hell.

A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders.
