Arcane Steel

Jakib Sawad

F15/100
A fatal accident should have been his end. For an orphaned computer scientist, it was a new beginning. Reincarnated as Alarion Wight, heir to a powerful duchy, he finally has a family to protect in a world of magic and dragons. Armed with a super-intelligent AI from his old life, Alarion sees magic not as a mystery but as a system to be hacked — enchanted metals as resources for a revolution. He builds a shield of Arcane Steel around those he loves. When betrayal shatters his world and tears his family from him, the shield is reforged into a sword. From powered armor that can challenge dragons to energy blades that execute kings, Alarion will burn a legend into the fabric of this world — but in his quest for vengeance, he risks becoming the very monster he set out to destroy.

Nora_Cat

Ten years of grinding. A decade as one of the top thousand archers in the VRMMORPG Godpath, held back by a single cursed stat: -3 Luck. Legendary drops that should have been his went to everyone else. Then he wakes up ten years in the past, the day before the game launches — and the curse is gone, replaced by Luck: 999. Every hidden quest, every world-first boss kill, every legendary bow that should have been his is now within reach. Fate had its fun. Now it's his turn.

Deathstalker Demigods

Kurtis Eckstein

F15/100
Waking up to discover the apocalypse had begun — and that he was no longer human — was not how he thought his day would go. He'd apparently been a mindless monster for the last several months. The city is a mess, massive black towers rising like thorns from destroyed buildings. Strangest of all: a visual hallucination displaying game-like stats. The monsters and bizarre landscape aren't the weirdest part of this apocalypse.

Boosted Restart – A new chance in a different world

Teanam

F14/100
Sophia wasn't happy with her life after making some wrong decisions. Introverted and shy to the point it hindered even basic interactions, she felt lonely — unable to talk with women, the only gender she's interested in. When an accident led to the end of the life she hated, an 'overseer of worlds' saved her from death and gave her a second chance in a world where magic exists. He blessed her with boosts to make her life easier — but he didn't stop there. He boosted every emotion and personality trait, positive and negative alike, with results that weren't always reliable. Sophia worked hard to deal with her new, complicated situation while exploring places, learning magic, finding friends, and building a slow, easygoing life in her new world — though her vast powers and lack of common sense made it anything but slow.

Practicing Death

Runewriter

F14/100
What does it mean to learn from your own death? Seventeen was supposed to die in a frozen granary-fort. Instead, a forgotten spirit pulls him back. Every death sends him to the same starting line with a little more knowledge, a little more skill, and a growing weight of visions he does not understand. The System inside him offers no guidance — its skills surface under pressure, and the things he sees in death do not fade. They accumulate. To survive, Seventeen must turn every death into information, outthink the men who own him, protect the few people worth saving, and uncover why the world around him is beginning to twist. What starts as a brutal struggle to escape a granary-fort grows into something far larger: border wars, hidden orders, and old powers moving in the dark.

I Eat Cultivators

rachasudd

F14/100
A nameless test subject, abandoned by the demonic cultivators who created him, awakens in a facility with three past lives, no identity, and the ability to talk to the leaking tap in his cell. After escaping through absurd regeneration and slapstick body horror, he enters a xianxia world of sects, spirit beasts, and convoluted cultivation conspiracies. Mentored by a perverted talking cabbage and joined by a growing cast of equally confused travelling companions, he drifts between side quests — slowly growing stronger while trying to figure out who he is, where he came from, and what he actually wants. This is a slow-burn, slice-of-life cultivation adventure built on comedy and character. Demonic revelations, unsettling abilities, and genuine horror creep in as the story unfolds.

Kidnapped and presumed dead, Kizu returns ten years later — just in time to enroll at an elite magical academy. His education under the witch who raised him was unorthodox, leaving him three years behind every other student and ranked as the overall worst at Shinzou Academy. Kizu is determined to change that quickly — not just to master long-denied schools of magic, but to investigate his older sister's disappearance. She was the only one who never stopped looking for him. Now it's his turn to repay the favor, if he can survive an academy where the other students are just as dangerous as the monsters.

The Wrong Kind of Immortality

hamisun

F14/100
Orestis Stathis became immortal by accident — and spent a thousand years discovering why that was a curse, not a gift. His body could no longer be harmed. It could no longer feel pleasure. With nothing at stake and nothing to gain, existence slowly hollowed him out. After centuries of trying to die, he finally succeeds — only to wake in his own childhood body, years before the curse ever took hold. His goal is simple: live quietly, avoid notice, and die properly of old age. Unfortunately, the world refuses to cooperate. Somewhere between teaching forbidden magic, dismantling corrupt institutions, and accidentally steering the outcome of wars, Orestis started caring again — and is quietly becoming the most dangerous man on the continent.
