How I Built a Magic Empire

Konstantin Zubov

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.

Character Development

Aaron Jay

C58/100

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?

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

RE Druin

C58/100
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.

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.

Tal, The Risen

A. Stargazer

C58/100
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. They say Tal exists to serve — and so he drowns and murders and pillages in the empire's name. But one thing is becoming clear: he exists. And soon, that fact will terrify his creators and their enemies alike.

100th Run: A Regressor's LitRPG Adventure

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.

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C58/100
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.

Immovable Mage

ImmovableMage

C57/100
What do you call a mage incapable of casting spells? In this story, we usually call him Terry.

Diagnosis: major aspect impairment, no cure. Faced with expulsion, Terry finds unexpected kindness that costs him his academy place but gives him a home with a caring family. 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.

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.

Unclassed: A Skill Merging LitRPG

Silverdawn

Raised as an orphan in Flea's End, Adam dreamed of wealth and luxury, working every day toward saving enough for the offering that would earn him a rare and desirable Class. 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.

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100

He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. 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. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Fallen Eagle [Kingdom-Building; Military Strategy]

Theodorus Sideris

C57/100
The year is 1459. Constantinople has fallen, and the Romans are no more. In the dying embers of the Byzantine world, the tiny Greek Principality of Theodoro clings to desperate existence in the mountains of the Crimean Peninsula — its fall not a possibility, but a historical certainty. Dr. Nikos Karagiannis, a history professor ripped across worlds into the body of Theodorus, a bookish third son in a disgraced house, has no magic or divine blessings. What he does possess is the knowledge of the political blunders, shifting alliances, and military tactics that will lead this land to ruin. A gritty, grounded take on rebuilding a nation where intrigue and diplomacy achieve as much as a raised army, battles are won through strategy rather than superpowers, and no character is safe from the crucible of war and politics.
