Warformed: Stormweaver

Bryce O'Connor, Luke Chmilenko

S+97/100
Reidon Ward will become a god — he just doesn't know it yet. Born weak, sickly, and small, afflicted with a painful disease and abandoned by his parents, Reidon has fought for every minor advantage life has allowed him. When the most powerful artificial intelligence in human history takes an interest in him, things begin to change. Granted a CAD — a Combat Assistance Device — with awful specs but infinite potential, Reidon finds himself at the bottom of his class at the Galens Institute, one of the top military academies in the Collective. Alongside his best friend Viviana Arada, Reidon must climb the school rankings and push into the combat tournament circuits that have become humanity's greatest entertainment. So begins the rise of a god. So begins the ascent of the Stormweaver.

It's a time of chaos, where potions can grant the power to rule the world and dangers lurk everywhere. Ryan only sees different routes — and from Hero to Villain, he has to try them all. Only then will he achieve his perfect ending, no matter how many loops it takes.

Arise

Jez Cajiao

S+93/100
Steve is ex-military, ex-enforcer, and ex-human — a one-man nanite-fuelled nightmare who stole a hundred thousand from some very bad people and is trying to lie low on a Greek island. When he saves a pair of drowning girls and goes viral, lying low becomes impossible. He tells himself he is cleaning up his act, making up for the things he has done. But even he admits it is mostly a justification: he is a very bad man with horrifying abilities, and hunting the creatures of the night suits him just fine.

S+91/100
When eldritch horrors called the Anathema began tearing through reality, aliens known as the Zenith stepped in to protect humanity by gifting chosen individuals with magic and advanced technology. Over twenty-one years later, the Magical Guardians are still hard at work — flashy, superhuman, and treated as idols of modern society. None of that matters much to Mai, whose biggest concerns are her family, classmates, and the creeping dread of her future. Magic and monsters may as well be daydreams — until she finds herself in the middle of an Anathema invasion. A dark magical-girl story with sci-fi elements and gradually introduced LitRPG mechanics.

In the near future, corporations rule society and treat their citizens like products and tools. People live to work and work to live — but not everyone. Some prosper on the fringe, some thrive as thorns in the paws of the corporate lions. Juliet just wants to get a ride home from her double shift at the scrapyard when something bizarre and horrifying happens, throwing her into the crosshairs of Western Bio Dynamics, a mega-corporation that would just as soon dissect a person as interview them. She didn't ask for the stolen, illegal tech that falls into her hands — but she accepted it. Now she needs to find a way to skip town and hide from WBD until she figures out a plan. She has to learn to live in the shadows, work outside the corporate system, and deal with the sundry characters — honorable and nefarious — inhabiting that world. From synthetic bounty hunters to double-crossing operators, Juliet will face many challenges as she works to improve herself physically, mentally, and in reputation.

The apocalypse is coming — but only a lucky or perhaps unlucky few know. Silas is inducted into the System, becoming the last in a long line of Earth's Forerunners. The rewards are great, but the danger is greater. Humanity is not alone in the universe: the fate of five worlds hangs on how their forerunners perform, and Earth faces the prospect of becoming a mining world stripped bare and left a barren husk in the cosmos. A system-enforced secret, a deadly challenge, and only a year to go before the countdown ends.

Changeling

Mecanimus

S89/100
Magic came to our world. Portals opened across the planet, releasing mana and dangerous monsters on the unsuspecting population. Wonder turned to horror. Society teetered on the brink of collapse until heroes rose to face the catastrophe — men and women who wielded mana to enter portal worlds, plundering their treasures and slaying beasts that bullets barely harmed. That was more than sixty years ago. Nestra was born without a core. In the new city of Threshold, baseline humans like her are being forced out of law enforcement. MaxSec is one of their last holdouts, and Nestra is one of its last members — but it cannot last. With Nestra addicted to mana and her job one of the only chances at getting close to portals, she is heading for disaster. Threshold is a city dominated by corporations and powerful users. It takes very little to become collateral damage — unless Nestra can finally figure out what's wrong with her.

Aura Overload

PlumParrot

S88/100
In a crumbling empire ruled by cybernetic immortals, royal bodyguard Hector Finalis was betrayed, branded a traitor, and left for dead. Two centuries later, his lost neurodeck resurfaces in a scavenger haul, and he awakens in a fragile new body — a relic haunted by fractured memories and a blood oath most in this decayed age have forgotten. To survive, Hector must rebuild his aura system from nothing, forcing potentia through a process that can forge flesh and sharpen the mind — or shatter the unworthy. One overload could rip his unenhanced body apart. Bound to criminals and unexpected allies, Hector must claw his way back to power as he uncovers the truth behind his fall, all while struggling to master a rage that could destroy him unless he finds something worth living for.
