Corruption Redeems. [UNOFFICIAL Warhammer 40K Isekai/LitRPG]

OGsecurityviking

D44/100
Björk was an ordinary man living an ordinary life — working as a blacksmith in a nation plagued by recurring civil wars, raised with divorced parents, and burning with a desire for something more exciting than his mundane existence. That desire will make him truly understand the meaning of "Be careful what you wish for" as he finds himself ripped away from everything he knew. His only strength is his ability to simply go with the flow, no matter what happens. Will he survive? Thrive? Find a way home? A semi-interactive story where reader polls help shape the narrative.

City of Desire

A WAN

D44/100
Remus had plans: build a quiet business empire within the safety of the empire he knew. His family had other ideas. Shipped off to Greltheaven — a dangerous border city filled with opportunity and peril in equal measure — he swears revenge and sets about making the best of a terrible situation. The business fate has handed him is a brothel. Remus intends to make it the most successful one the city has ever seen, and use it as the foundation for something much larger — if the city survives long enough for his plans to bear fruit.

Wounds in the Sky

V.R. Cardoso

D43/100
Aric and Fadan are half-brothers — both sons of the Empress, but only one the son of the Emperor. A decade ago, Fadan's powerful father tore the Empire apart by outlawing magic. Forbidden from seeing each other, the brothers defy the Emperor and wander the Imperial Citadel until they stumble upon an ancient Manual of Magic. Faced with the choice of surrendering the book or testing whether one of them carries the forbidden magical Talent, they choose the latter — and their world is shattered. Tragedy and conspiracy tear them apart, sending each to opposite ends of the Empire: one to train as a Dragon Hunter, the other to secretly wield powers that could mean his execution.

The Exalted Mage

Kairami

D43/100
The hardest thing about being a mage of ruin and tempests is having to hold back. Veronica's magic isn't subtle — it's cataclysmic. Specializing in widespread destruction magic, she could tear apart mountains, raze armies, and bury cities. She was the first and only mage to reach the 10th tier, and because of that she was humanity's last hope against the demons. Until the day she fell, alone, as the world burned around her. In her final moments she cast her soul back in time. Now nineteen again, she has years to prepare before the invasion begins anew. She must find allies, raise students, and rally forces to stand beside her — and this time, freed from the curse that shackled her body in her previous life, no one knows how far she can truly ascend.

A voice fills the sky and announces him as a Lord of the land — and then informs him that ninety-nine other Lords are out for his blood. Connor must build a civilization from scratch, form a team with other souls reincarnated from Earth, forge alliances with native elves, mountain men, and pixies, and tame dragons and wyverns. Monster battles, full-scale war, quests for hidden artefacts, magic, and crafting await — all while competing in a ruthless 100-Lord battle where there can be only one winner.

A New Player in the Force

USSExplorer

D42/100
A soldier wins an afterlife lottery and is given the chance to live again in another universe — the Star Wars galaxy — with access to lite-Gamer powers. Beginning almost four thousand years before the Prequels, the story follows an original character navigating a far-future iconic setting. The RPG system is present throughout but gradually pulls back as the character and world take center stage over the course of the long-running narrative.

Middang3ard

Ramy Vance

D42/100
What if J.R.R. Tolkien's work wasn't fiction, but a primer to help humanity get accustomed to a harsh truth? There are nine known realms, a world for each race — including dwarves, gnomes, and elves. In the middle rests Middang3ard. Each world knows the others. Each, except Earth. Humans long ago turned their backs on magic, and their governments shielded them from the reality of what was happening elsewhere. Then the Dark One appeared, threatening to overrun all nine worlds — and the second planet just went dark. Now, humans must send elite warriors to Middang3ard to fight before the battle reaches Earth's shores. Too bad their elite starts and ends with Robert "Suzuki" Fletcher and his team of Mundanes.

Rise of the Mechanar

Gallekryde

D41/100
At twenty years old, Nicholas has lived his life to fulfil a vow. With the obligation settled, he yearns for answers to the mystery of his own origin — answers that will require venturing to the old continent, the Ancient Capital, and the midst of a war to reclaim it from the monsters that drove humanity away millennia ago. Not all plans survive. When heathen invaders upend everything, Nicholas swears another promise and finds himself alone in the wilderness of the old continent, surrounded by enemies both monster and human. Drawing on ancient powers that may finally provide the answers he sought, he must tread carefully — because he may turn into something that even monsters fear.

The Saga of Keres

Lucian T. Einar

D41/100
1897. As the world teeters on the edge of war, Volundr — Ambassador of the Society of Nations — assembles a diverse group of individuals with extraordinary abilities. Among them: Steve, a devoted single father searching for his missing lover, and his mischievous daughter Alice. Others seek redemption, vengeance, or simply a place to belong. Cursed and desperate for answers, they agree to assist Volundr in exchange for his teachings on thaumaturgy and alchemy. Their first mission takes them to the Unseen City, under the threat of a devastating terrorist attack — where the most powerful thaumaturgist the world has ever seen has plans of her own. An alternate-historical fantasy set in the late 1890s, where magic clashes with science, kaiju roam the earth, and an unlikely band of heroes must confront forces both seen and unseen.

Earth had been destroyed by Devils, and as a result humans were transported to Paradise — a new world far vaster than their original planet, chaotic yet still a home. Then the cataclysm struck. Only one man could face the imminent disaster, but he failed. Bradley Crowe let down all those who relied on him. As his eyes closed for the last time, he was given a second chance.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D39/100
Cassio Vale was passed over by the System three times. On his final chance, it responds with a rarely seen Calling: QuestWright — tasked with drafting and assigning quests in a world where structured survival depends on more than just strength. Cass doesn't wield a weapon or cast spells. He builds reputation through smart delegation, navigates a society held together by logistics as much as blades, and earns experience through completion rather than combat. A grounded LitRPG focused on city-level strategy, logistics puzzles, and the slow accumulation of meaningful impact.

Path of the Hive Queen

Tejoka

D39/100
A girl wakes up alone in the wilderness, climbing out of an egg with no memory — only human knowledge that doesn't match her body. She must survive, decipher the blue boxes, understand her own biology, and build a hive from nothing. Her instincts as a Hive Queen push her to treat her progeny as expendable tools and to destroy any potential threat before it grows. Her human side resists. She'd rather not become an apocalypse — but she does need territory, resources, and perhaps a little conquest to keep her family safe.

Battle World

Cassius Lang

D39/100
The Great Ones arrived on Earth and conquered with little bloodshed — they came not for resources, but for humanity's strongest warriors. Those warriors are shipped to Hadran, an artificial planet that serves as a cosmic gladiatorial arena where slave races fight for the entertainment of their masters. Earth has now lost its last true champions and risks losing candidate status entirely — which would make it a target for cleansing. Clint Rogan is forcibly merged with a faulty symbiote and dropped into Terraria One, a starting zone that resembles the Middle Ages. With humanity's fate in the balance, Clint and the other new arrivals must rebuild, conquer territory, and survive long enough to give Earth a fighting chance.

Grass Eaters

spooker

D39/100
When alien civilizations clash in war, you would not expect a prey species with short claws, blunt teeth, soft hides, and no natural hunting instincts to be a threat. But as one unique species of psychopathic Grass Eaters rises to the apex of the food chain and begins ruthlessly exterminating their peaceful neighbors, the dying carnivores ask: who can possibly stop this interstellar menace? This anti-cynical HFY sci-fi story reverses the usual predator trope, focusing on technology, military strategy, and a grounded, positive depiction of humanity. Includes space battles, POV-switching (including antagonists), and occasional slice-of-life that moves the story forward.

Reborn as the Black Knight

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D38/100
War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of a beleaguered nation. Among those surviving on the fringes is the exiled youngest princess, Acacia Odofredus Krone — ill, forgotten, and living in destitute squalor after failing even as a low-ranking adventurer. At her side, a soul reborn from another world finds himself reincarnated as the powerful manifestation of an ancient prophecy: der Schwarze Ritter, the Black Knight. Together, the two face dire poverty, Acacia's fatal sickness, the looming threat of her noble bloodline, and a horrific war — fighting their way up from the lowest shadows toward something that feels like a life worth living.

9 to 5 Monster Hunter

Adam Sampson

D38/100
Five years after a failed alien invasion, Earth maintains a fragile peace with orcs, elves, and dwarves. When a necktie-wearing orc walks into the magitek exosuit repair bay demanding the best rune mechanic on Earth, Luke is volunteered for interspecies employment — leaving Earth to repair advanced magic mech suits for monster hunters. Then he straps into one of those suits himself and discovers a taste for danger and profit. With a handpicked crew of battle-hardened monster slayers, Luke dives into deadly missions one monster core at a time. But the System of the World has other plans, granting Luke a powerful magic class and making him a player in a far greater game. Navigating ever-growing monster threats, secretive elvish plots, and cutthroat corporations, Luke's only hope is to get stronger than anyone seeking to use him. They want a pawn — he plans on clearing the board.

Burning Starlight

Ryan Stennet

D37/100
Retirement was supposed to be simple: a quiet apartment near the Saginaw River, maybe a hobby or two. Blake Connover survived decades of military and mercenary work to earn that peace. It lasted two weeks. When a mysterious wormhole tears open above the river and drags Blake into the unknown, retirement becomes the least of his worries. Stranded on an alien world and fused with an advanced bio-tech suit he barely understands, Blake has to adapt fast. The suit's real owners want it back, the locals aren't exactly friendly, and the universe is a lot bigger — and stranger — than he ever imagined. From haunted starships to cosmic cultivation, his retirement plan is officially out the window.
