Spirit Core

Jonathan Brooks

F19/100
Clive Logan was a serial killer — caught, convicted, and executed. That should have been the end. Instead, after enjoying Hell far too much, he was singled out to become a Spirit Core: an invisible spiritual entity sent back to Earth. His new existence follows rules not unlike the video games he once programmed, with a core objective of invoking fear in his targets. There is just one problem: having never felt any emotions himself, Clive has no idea what fear actually means.

System Cultivator: Righteous Young Master in an Unworthy World

RAIDBOSS

F19/100
He was born to rule the world — a prince, a prodigy, a once-in-centuries talent destined to usher in a new era of prosperity. Instead, at a young age, his foundation was shattered, his cultivation destroyed, and his path to immortality severed. Exiled to a barren backwater without qi, he learned to live as mortals do — for today, not for a future that might never be. Brick by brick, with the help of his countrymen, he built a new and better world. Then, buried beneath an ancient desert, he discovered a legacy capable of granting him god-like power — hidden precisely where no cultivator would think to look. Now he must decide: retake his throne and fix his father's broken empire from within, or destroy it.

Goth Mommy, Bone Daddy: Life's a lich, Then you die

ReignyDaze

F19/100
Modivar, the last light of salvation, had done it. He reached max level and saved the world. All it cost him was everything he had ever known and loved. Now he is cursed — he broke his oath, and that oath is killing him. So instead of living out his days as a hero, he chose to go as far away as possible and spend whatever time he has left as nothing more than a simple potion seller. He found a village with no name, no buildings that weren't run down. At his wit's end, at the end of his life, he didn't expect to find Belladonna. He didn't expect to find love. He didn't expect to find a reason to live on beyond death. What started as a prank gone horribly wrong turned into a love story that would last an unlifetime.

Moneymaker

Bertt

F19/100

Inside the game, he discovers a strange system: he grows stronger with each dollar he earns. But the plot has gone wrong. Main characters are missing, heroes are siding with villains, and Nathan's own memories are blocked by an unknown force. Enrolled in class 1-F — the misfits — he meets a minor antagonist who sets off a chain of events that never happened in the game. A war is three years away, and he may be the only one who understands what's at stake. A slow-burn superhero progression story with a mystery at its core and an expanding cast of heroines.
