Paladin

Komikhan

A83/100
When the first derelict alien spacecraft fell to Earth, humanity reverse-engineered its technology and entered a new Golden Age. Hundreds more ships followed over the years, each spurring greater leaps forward. One unassuming craft that fell on Siberia in 2021 passed unnoticed — but it contained something beyond miraculous technology. Three years later, in a top-secret underground facility in eastern Colorado, an army of Paladin Mobile Infantry Suits was being built to turn the tide against the alien incursion consuming the planet. Humanity fell before that could happen. Sam, an engineer responsible for overseeing the facility, is now alone — his only company a base AI and an army of empty suits. With the world gone to hell and the things that caused it still living above, he decides he is much better off staying exactly where he is. Unfortunately, that is no longer an option.

Eight

Samer Rabadi (aka 3seed)

A83/100
His name is Eight. Not really, but that's what the System decided after a slip of the tongue. One moment, he was stepping out the office door on the way home, and the next waking up on a hillside below a town wall — and the gate guard drove him off, thinking he was a monster. Life's tough when you're an old man trapped in an eight-year-old body on another world. But there's sixty-four years of hard-won wisdom inside that small frame, and Eight will use every bit of it to survive.

Path of the Dragon Mage

S.G. Seabourne

A83/100
Born magically talentless, Prince Corvus is an embarrassment to the royal family and is removed from succession.

But it is the work of a lifetime to hatch one. The first time Corvus touches his dragon egg, he receives an odd notification: he has found a soulbound item and is tasked with an epic quest to hatch it — but only if he can walk the winding path of the dragon mage. Armed with notifications, skill increases, and levels only he can see, Corvus is determined to hatch his dragon.

Power Overwhelming

Flamebeard

A83/100
A transmigrated soul wakes in a new world, finding a new family and — more importantly — magic. Not the muscle-bound kind that obeys the square-cube law, but something entirely different: a force with no physical volume, and therefore no apparent ceiling on its power. There are also scary monsters in this world, which makes getting stronger sensible enough. But the real obsession is simpler — finding out just how far the magic can be pushed.

The Shattered Reigns

Bryce O'Connor, Luke Chmilenko

A82/100
Despite his youth, Declan Idrys knows the evils of the world — the brigands plaguing the King's lands, the monsters lurking in the wooded depths. Together with his companion Ryn, a horse of peculiar talent, he has spent a decade beneath the bloody banners of mercenary guilds hunting precisely such wickedness. When a troubling contract goes sideways, Declan and Ryn are thrust into a war thought legend and long-ended — one so old it is synonymous with a time when dragons still ruled the western skies. As dead men rise from their graves and terrible beasts descend from the north, Declan must choose: flee an ancient rising horror, or face it and learn to wield an ageless power all his own. Centuries pass, but the Blood of Kings does not fade.

The experience and knowledge she gained in the struggle for the throne give her a fighting chance — but the question she must answer is a hard one. Should she pursue her own happiness, or attempt to better the realm? Perhaps, if she dares, she can reach for both.

Amidst all of this, Arnold von Hohenfels — first son of the Margrave — finds himself compelled to attend the Imperial Academy, a notorious battleground of wits and brawn for ambitious young nobles.

Biracial Edgelord Can't Make Immortal: Power of Ten, Book Seven

RE Druin

A82/100
Shard Funf has been sent to yet another new multiverse — one resembling Mystara of BECMI D&D, with dungeons and dragons, elves and dwarves, humans and orcs. Oddly familiar, yet deeply strange: Good and Heaven are not powers here, only uncaring Law and Chaos. Evil is in the eye of the beholder, and there are no gods — only ascended Immortals pursuing personal Projects with little care for the lives of mere mortals. The road to mortal power is clear and broad, and Funf has a significant head start. But when the world is in the hands of rival Immortals and hapless mortals are caught in the middle, shaking up the existing order will require an entirely new approach — and perhaps bring the Light of Heaven to a cadre of uncaring super-beings for the first time.

October, 2042. An extinction-level asteroid is on a collision course with Earth.

His only chance: permanently upload his mind into Viridian Gate Online, a brand-new ultra-immersive fantasy VRMMORPG. The transition kills his body, one in six die in the process, and even if Jack beats the odds he'll face vicious monsters, domineering AIs, and cutthroat players. When Jack stumbles upon a secret conspiracy to transform V.G.O. into a new feudal dark age, the deadly creatures in the dungeons become the least of his concerns.
