The Genesis Saga

Nicholas Dufresne

Skyward Ascension

Sourkrauts

F7/100
Caleb loved climbing because the rules were simple: don't fall, go up. Until the System arrived — and the mountain broke. When a fissure opens beneath him mid-climb, Caleb plummets into a newly formed dungeon on the back of a falling boulder. He should have died on impact. Instead, his fall is broken by the face of one of the dungeon's bosses, and the resulting surge of aether thrusts him into a brutal new reality. Armed with nothing but his body and a unique class built around his greatest strength — his hands — Caleb gains the ability to manifest spectral arms made of spiritual energy. To survive the hell he fell into and climb his way back to civilization, he'll have to master every inch of his power. In a world where strength decides everything, the only way forward is up.

imissmysun

F7/100
Born into one of the Evernight Empire's grand noble families, Alex Drakethorne showed extraordinary promise at birth — and then nothing.

At fourteen, desperate for power, he throws himself into a newly opened gate. The shock forces his long-dormant system awake to save him — a system unlike any other, one that grants him a brand new skill every single day. From a laughingstock to a force the world will have to reckon with, Alex's slow-burn journey from the bottom begins.

The Brutal Healer

Fishkid

F7/100
Hector chose the Healer class to stay alive. The system had other ideas. Dropped into a lethal tutorial with only a Field Medic designation and a system that observes more than it explains, Hector quickly learns that healing is not gentle — it is force. Applied incorrectly, it breaks bodies as easily as it saves them. As overhealing becomes a weapon and deviation warnings stack up, survival stops being about following the rules and starts being about understanding them.

I Became My Vampire Witch Character

KurayamiWN

F7/100
Ella was a delusional woman — or so everyone thought. She spent her days grinding in her favorite MMO, chugging energy drinks, and building the strongest character possible on the off chance she ever got isekai'd. Well, maybe she wasn't so delusional after all. One fateful day, she drank one energy drink too many and died of a heart attack — only to wake up as her witchpire character in the game world she had spent years preparing for.

Rule of Cool

Matthew Siege

F7/100
Raze is a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the only arcade in town — a Non-Participating Citizen who can't see her stats or make opposed rolls against Heroes. The old-timers swear it didn't used to be like this, that their troubles only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving questionably-blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence. Raze is not about to let a millennium of injustice cramp her style. When a frustratingly optimistic dreamer talks her into using the Konami Code as a map to scale a suitably forbidden fortress, everything changes at the top. What follows is Raze and her mismatched crew doing their damnedest to burn the old ways down, squaring off against thousands of noob Heroes in epic, mechanized carnage.

When Ludo starts asking for favors and having him reach out between the real and digital worlds, Stan has a chance to turn his life into an actual adventure — but first he needs to earn the most valuable prize: his freedom.

Immortal Druid

Alfir2

F6/100
A gamer wakes up in a fantasy world inhabiting the body of his max-level Druid from an online game — only to find this new world is nothing like the genre he expected. Flying swords, qi beams, and arrogant young masters litter the landscape, a far cry from the cozy woodland retreat he had planned. He figured he could ignore all of it: vibe in the woods, pursue the Dao of Camping, mind his own business. But this isekai world is neither cozy nor forgiving, and sometimes the greatest enemy turns out to be oneself.

Fate of Mirithia

Ajnabi

F6/100
She crossed worlds to bring him home. Now she might be the one who never returns. When Meera's younger brother vanished without a trace, her search led her to an ancient mirror and a world not her own. Thrust into a realm of monsters, magic, and a rising apocalypse, she uncovers a harrowing truth: her brother is the Champion of a great prophecy, destined to either save or destroy Mirithia in a final clash against an apocalyptic dragon. In a world where strength is defined by earned skills, Meera had none — only the ability to steal the power of others. She cuts a bloody path through prophecies and tyrants alike, growing stronger with each stolen skill, drawing closer to her brother with every step. As the end draws near and the lines between heroes and villains blur, she must decide how far she is willing to go — and whether saving him means damning herself.

Hospital Dungeon - A Dungeon Core Story

cascodia

F6/100
A dungeon wakes up with no name, no language, and no idea why the first thing it meets is trying to kill it. Fear from terrified intruders feeds the core — but fear is thin and never lasts. Then a wounded man is left behind inside its walls, and the dungeon discovers something better: his relief when the pain stops, his slow and grudging gratitude when the room grows warmer and nothing tries to eat him. The guild sends kill teams. The dungeon sends them soup. Nobody asked for a hospital dungeon. That hasn't stopped it.

Fallen Mage Regressor

Lemonoid

F6/100
Death makes exceptions for all the wrong people. Malfrasius wasn't trying to destroy the world — even as everyone called him a Dark Lord, he fought to save them. The Heroine didn't believe him, and his life ended with a blade between his ribs. When he woke up six years in the past on his way to magic school, he resolved to do things the right way and without attracting attention. But the butterfly effect has a funny sense of humor. His clumsy changes to the timeline have landed him in a team with two members of the Heroine's party, the academy's top prodigy suspects he is her equal despite his F-grade core, and his loyal maid is growing suspicious of his sudden personality shift. Malfrasius wasn't trying to destroy the world. It's just a shame the world seems so intent on destroying him.

Vasily survived a life-or-death game arranged by a mysterious creature — but instead of returning to Earth, he finds himself in another world alongside others who passed the same deadly test. Some survived through force, others through cunning. The one thing they have in common: none of them are good people. Karik operates like a game — leveling, resurrection, growing power — but if you trust the wrong person, the death is permanent. Vasily must conceal a dangerous secret while navigating a world built entirely on deception.

Extra's Mantle: Wait, What Do You Mean I Shouldn't Exist?!

NekoSama#9999

F5/100
In the beloved novel "Mantle of Gods," four chosen heroes are destined to save the world — and fail spectacularly, leaving reality to burn in eternal darkness. As a reader of that story, transmigrating into it as Jin Winters, a nameless extra not even mentioned in the text, was already bad enough. Landing in Vienna — one of four cities slated for annihilation in the opening act — made it worse. Armed with meta-knowledge and a cancer survivor's stubborn refusal to die quietly, Jin awakens the mysterious "Mantle of Harvest," a power system the protagonists never fully understood. But knowledge only matters if you live long enough to use it. Ninety-one days until the veil falls. Ninety-one days to grow strong enough to change a fate written in blood.

Kingdom Lost

DeepBlue

F5/100
Riley wakes up in a world that already expects something from her. She has nothing — no gear, no knowledge, no protection. Just a hostile forest, something hunting in the dark, and a system that has already marked her as a novice and expects progress. It doesn't explain the rules. It doesn't offer help. It only measures what she builds and what she survives. Every resource must be scavenged, every improvement must be earned, every mistake leaves consequences that don't go away. And whatever stalks the woods at night knows she's here. There are no chosen ones, no free power, no second chances — only progress, starting from zero.
