Age of Stone by Jez Cajiao

In all the games Matt has played, Dungeons are places to raid, places you dream of conquering, but when the world is stripped of electricity, and the first mana-twisted beasts start to prowl, the games all come to an end…

Matt’s just an ordinary guy, but when he’s beaten, robbed, and left for dead, bleeding out at the bottom of a gully, it all has to change as he grasps frantically at his only chance for survival, coming as it does in the form of a glowing, dangerously pulsing light.

With his reality forever altered, Matt must quickly find a suitable place to deploy the Dungeon Core, fighting his way through the hundreds of people between him and safety, because if he doesn’t do it soon, a Core Detonation will solve all of his problems for him… permanently. Welcome to the New World.

Experience a dark apocalyptic LitRPG Dungeon Core tale, Matt is a normal guy, pushed into terrible situations, and without anyone to hold his hand and explain the system. This is a weak-to-strong tale about doing what’s right, not what’s easy, in a nightmarish world.

Jake’s Magical Market by J.R. Mathews

Meddling gods. A magical card system. An apocalypse no one could have predicted. Jake is working at the neighborhood market under his apartment when the world ends. He expected nuclear war, a computer virus, or even climate change burning everyone to a crisp to bring about the downfall of civilization. But cruel and arbitrary gods from another world? Who would have guessed that? When these cruel gods shuffled Earth like a deck of cards, nothing was in the same place anymore. Monsters, dungeons, and magical items appear scattered across the globe. And suddenly, everyone has access to a new, strange magical card system that gives them magical powers. Jake, wasting his day slacking off in the cooler, as he usually did, found himself alone in a completely new and very dangerous world. Can he learn to survive? Can he collect enough cards and create a good enough deck to fight back against the monsters that have overtaken h

Summary:

Can she trust the cards...or anyone? Reclusive mathematician Aisha Wren has her life planned down to the minute. Her days are organized, predictable, and, above all, safe. But when a series of tarot cards accompanied by deeply personal messages arrive at her doorstep, her regimented life is thrown into chaos. Unsettled by the invasion of her privacy, Aisha reluctantly reaches out to the only person who might know how to interpret the cards: her estranged sister and popular spiritual Instagram influencer, Lulu. As the two sisters navigate their strained relationship and work to decode the tarot messages, a childhood tragedy resurfaces.
But with the truth wrapped in secrets, Aisha doesn’t know who to count on — and something’s not adding up. Mental health meets the esoteric world of tarot in Sisters Arcana, a psychological thriller that explores sisterhood, grief, and the path to self-trust. - For fans of intense, character-driven suspense like Ruth Ware, Tana French, and Stacy Willingham, Sisters Arcana is a must-read that will keep you hooked from the first page to the last.
