Eldrich Engineer

Kevin McLaughlin, Michael Anderle

D31/100
A lab experiment gone catastrophically wrong opens a portal to another dimension and deposits engineer Charles Smith directly on top of an enemy sorcerer—accidentally saving the kingdom of Kortall and earning the gratitude of King Alfred. The reward for a job well done is more work. Alfred recruits Charles to help defend against an invading army backed by the Shadow Council. Wildly outmatched, Charles must blend science, engineering, and whatever magic he can learn to give Kortall any chance of survival.

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D31/100
Ivan Susanin, an unemployed techie, is transported by the System to an unknown location along with a thousand other players. He has a spear, basic weapon skills, and 24 hours to earn enough XP to return to Earth — or remain trapped forever. The game takes place in the ruins of a massive city where the undead lurk and goblins raid the outskirts, but the most valuable prey may be the other players. Beyond the local objective is a global one: in the center of the city stands a temple to a fallen god, and until one player captures the Altar, the mission repeats. Ivan must decide whose pawn he'll become — or take the risk of staying independent.

Alex Knight

D31/100

The keys to his freedom are buried in the game's seedy underbelly, and the trail that led to his arrest is far more twisted than he ever imagined.

The Duke's Reborn Daughter Sometimes Chooses Violence.

TheLastSurvivor

D31/100
Esra Veyne. Most only know her as the 'White Ghost', a Duke's Daughter who never leaves her room — a girl fated to die in obscurity, if only someone hadn't reincarnated into her body. The new Esra has no interest in being a ghost. She wants to enjoy her new life. There's just one problem: everywhere she looks, she finds something that needs fixing, and she can't just let someone else handle it. Even if it means breaking fingers to get answers, using a traumatized girl as an assassin, or never getting to enjoy being a Duke's daughter in the first place. Hopefully, she won't have to solve every problem with violence. This Esra Veyne was never very good at staying in her room.

Beastforged Bond

HideousGrain

D31/100
Adam was born with the smallest inner World on record — the vessel through which power is harnessed by binding beasts. Small Worlds impose limits; his imposes none. No rules, no restrictions, and no record of ever forming a bond. When his father returns with an egg and Adam bonds with it, something shifts. For the first time he feels ether. For the first time he has a chance. With a peculiar Soulkin at his side, Adam must train, grow, and evolve — both beast and master — or be left behind in a world that demands strength. Something stirs beyond the horizon, and the boy with the smallest World might be the only one not bound by fate.

Shouri must unlock their potentials in tandem — before corruption can bring chaos to his world, and before the forces defending that status quo can stop them.

Friendly Neighborhood Necromancer

AdvonKoulthar

D31/100
To be taken to another world — isn't that what nearly everyone wishes for once in their life? To use their knowledge of how these situations usually go and seize control of their own destiny. Unfortunately, this man arrived as his new character in the VRMRPG Underworld of Armok — at Level 1, with no status window, and no grand power to ease the way. In safety there are few benefits; only by taking risks far beyond his level can one proceed. Transported to another world, he wants to do good and be a hero. There's just one caveat: he's a Necromancer, and his greatest source of strength will probably get him lynched.

Wasteland Warlords

eden Hudson, James Hunter

D31/100
Twenty years ago, the Merge brought armies of monsters flooding into the West Coast. Dungeons popped up in shopping malls and airports. Walls were built to contain the spread, but the promise of priceless loot dropped by the creatures inspired a new kind of gold rush. Clay Jaeger has nothing left outside the walls. Civilization took everything he worked for and spat it out. Now Clay, his wife Alex, and his chainsaw-toting brother Joe are going west to try their hand at monster killing. The loot from low-level mobs is enticing, but it isn't the real reason they risked the Infested Zone — they need to kill a Dungeon Lord. Only one in ten thousand hunters pull it off. The rest become fertilizer for the wasteland.

Soul Merger

IcedFairy

D31/100
When a human kills their first monster, they absorb its soul and gain some of its power. Most consider this a blessing. Alissa considers it a curse — fused with a succubus, she involuntarily seduces everyone around her. She copes by working as a delver, heading into labyrinths to gather materials and treasures in relative isolation. That changes when a lucky encounter draws her into friendship, bloodshed, and the dark truths that lie at the bottom of the labyrinths.

Cultivator Andy

Walker Miles

D31/100
Wake up. Mine crystals. Don't die. That's the job, and Andy doesn't remember ever having a different one. The guards have guns. The other workers have agendas. The tunnels have monsters that shouldn't exist. On his first shift, surrounded by men who've already made their peace with the dark, he decides he won't be one of them. Then he finds the cavern — crystals bigger than anything on the work floor, whispering secrets the guards would kill to keep buried. It's a path to power, maybe a path out. But he'll have to hide it from everyone until he's strong enough to stop hiding. No one leaves the mine alive. Andy intends to be the first.

Coupled with strict personal Laws and a sharp mind, he has survived the worst of their attention. But survival isn't living. When a storm curses Harker and enhances his small Talent far beyond its natural Scope, he suddenly possesses power that greedy hunters would kill to claim. His only hope lies in the one place his mother always forbade: the Nine Spires Academy — where he must reach and pass an entrance exam before the curse kills him.

The Ghost of the Wastes

JCAnderson2025

D30/100
The Wastes do not create heroes. They create survivors. Cale Arcanus vanished ten years ago when a transport was lost beyond the borders of civilization. Presumed dead, his name became a footnote in a tragedy the Dominion preferred to forget. But the Wastes did not kill him — they forged him. In a land where mana turns feral, monsters replace law, and mercy gets you buried, Cale survived by mastering older methods of power: methods that do not fit neatly into cores, rankings, or institutions. Now he has returned. Arclight Academy wants to classify him, noble houses want to control him, and military and political powers want to decide whether he is an asset or a threat. They are already too late. Behind a quiet demeanor and a worn mask, Cale walks back into a world that no longer recognizes him — and one that will soon learn what it means to provoke something forged outside its rules.
