Undisguised Healer
Forced to hide his identity up until now, Thaden soon learns that it may cause trouble than it’s worth…
Even though he never intended it to happen, the events that occurred in the city of Forgestone have set Thaden on a course to fix the problems that he inadvertently caused. His inner sense of responsibility has now put him firmly on the path to eliminate or at least minimize the destruction and loss of life that could occur from the fallout of the SPECIAL Quests he’s been assigned, so he is putting all his focus on accomplishing this feat as soon as possible.
Thankfully, his journey and interaction with other Contenders is helped by the changes the Assimilation System put into place a short time ago, reducing—but not eliminating—the likelihood that he will be attacked by those same Contenders. Of course, time will only tell if everyone will get the memo and leave him alone; if not, he still has ways to move about in disguise, which he is hoping will be enough to forgo any problems that may come up.
But before he can throw himself into the search for the Anchor dungeons mentioned in the SPECIAL Quests he had been assigned, Thaden and his brand-new Class wants to find some stronger, more specialized gear with which to get himself better outfitted. To that end, his first stop is to visit a dungeon that purportedly has a higher likelihood of having Support-Class drops; however, The Devil’s Nail turns out to be nothing like what he had been expecting….
This story contains an overpowered MC with a normally non-offense-based Class, LitRPG progression mechanics and stats, and isekai/portal fantasy elements. Contains no sexual content or harems.

Jonathan Brooks
In the fast-evolving realm of LitRPG and Dungeon Core fiction, few names have carved out territory as boldly—or as prolifically—as Jonathan Brooks. Known for weaving complex magic systems with the logic of game mechanics, Brooks has become a touchstone for readers who crave fantasy grounded in strategy, growth, and immersive world-building.
It all began with Dungeon Player in 2017, a debut that hinted at the intricate worlds and evolving systems that would become his signature. But Brooks didn’t stop there. He’s since written more than 70 novels, building expansive series like Dungeon Crafting, Magical Fusion, and Earthen Contenders, each exploring what it means to level up—whether as a character, a dungeon, or a sentient core learning how to survive in hostile worlds. His latest venture, The Labyrinth World series, continues this evolution with a fresh spin on multiverse mechanics and layered storytelling.
Earthen Contenders
In a world where reality and gaming systems collide, Earthen Contenders offers a thrilling ride through a land filled with dungeon crawls, skill trees, and the constant pursuit of power. But in this unique LitRPG series, it’s not just about leveling up—it’s about survival, strategy, and self-discovery in a universe governed by unforgiving rules.
Earthen Contenders consists of six books and considered as a complete series. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
