The Last Warrior of Unigaea

Harmon Cooper

F5/100
Oric Rune is a Player Killer with nothing left to lose, driven by a singular need to avenge the villagers of Ducat — slaughtered before his eyes by the Drachma Killers. But with the Rune Lands encroaching on Unigaea's southern cities and something catastrophic brewing in the sky, Oric must choose between personal vengeance and becoming the hero destiny demands. Joining him on the journey are a giant Tagvornin wolf, a mute Solar Mage, and a cunning illusionist named Sam Raid.

Sovereign Of Realms

Ciel Nova

F5/100
When Ciel Nova steps forward for his Awakening, he expects a standard class — swordsman, mage, anything ordinary. What he receives is impossible: Realm Holder, a class no one has ever heard of, with no guides, no manuals, and no path to follow. Within him lies a realm of his own creation — a place where time flows differently, where days pass in moments, and where life can be nurtured beyond the world's reach. At its heart grows the World Tree, fueling both his realm and his own power. While others train in dungeons, Ciel builds worlds. His strength comes not from battle alone, but from patience, growth, and mastery over something far greater than swords or spells.

Hero players are already on their way to kill him. Nathan must master his monster's abilities, make unlikely allies, and find a way to reverse what happened before he is hunted down.

Planeswalker - Requiem for the Immortal

Zarthos

F5/100
What happens when a serial transmigrator is forced to marry a crippled cultivator? Qin Yun, once a scientist, has been reborn again and again, hopping from strange worlds to stranger still with an extraordinary device aiding his journey. His latest landing places him in a world where men grow to become legends — born into a prominent clan on the edge of warring nations, yet unable to follow his ancestors' path. Another path remains open, one shunned by his peers as lesser, but Qin Yun trudges on regardless. Then news reaches him: his wedding is afoot, the bride unknown, his estranged family pushing hard for this union. His new wife is far from what he expected — disfigured when her breakthrough went wrong, crippled and discarded. Bound by an oath upon the altar, Qin Yun vows to help restore her strength and beauty, even as countless forces conspire against them.

Blood Mage Assassin

E.M. Dash

F5/100
Jack once believed the quill was mightier than the sword. He was wrong. After twenty years of failure and obsession, the crippled Apprentice Scribe confronted the noble who murdered his family — only for his revenge to end with a poisoned dagger in his gut and the mocking smile of the man he hated. When death came, it didn't take him to the Underworld. It sent him back — sixteen again, reborn in the body he lost to fire and regret, given a second chance by the Gods he believed had forsaken him. Now he wants to protect his family and live a good life, but the Gods have other plans. Armed with forbidden magic, a scribe's precision, and knowledge of the future, Jack will carve a new path through history — written in ink, blood, and vengeance. A deliberately slow-paced, slice-of-life, weak-to-strong story building toward an overpowered MC across multiple time loops.

Vows Of Iron

simplyleo

F5/100
Nathanial Silverlight was born a spare — a shield for the family rather than its sword. Unlike most, he carries no hatred for that role; he does it out of love. In a world forged by war and bound by blood, Nathanial's power grows through the vows he swears and keeps. As the Everheart Kingdom teeters on the edge of ruin, he must strengthen those vows and climb through the ranks — or be crushed beneath the weight of war.

The Rise of Ashborn

Forst-Icicle

F5/100
Civil engineer Arthur Vance was two days from his wedding when a truck ended his future. Instead of death, he awakens in the body of Oliver Ashborn — a frail thirteen-year-old noble who has just survived an assassination attempt. The once-powerful Ashborn family is collapsing: mines exhausted, roads ruined, territory drowning in debt, and powerful enemies already circling. But Arthur is not a noble. He is an engineer. Armed with knowledge of physics, chemistry, and structural engineering, he sets out to analyze and systematize magic itself. If mana follows rules, it can be understood. If it can be understood, it can be engineered — and in a world where magic decides power, one mistake could destroy everything.

He was a demigod chasing immortality until a curse shattered everything. Yu Di was born to ascend — cultivation was his life. Now, every time he uses Qi, he loses levels. Permanently. Broken and powerless, Yu Di retreats from the world until his ex-lover drops off a surprise: their three-year-old daughter. With no power left to chase, Yu Di devotes himself to raising Yu Lin — teaching her, protecting her, finding peace in fatherhood. Until the local Immortal sect threatens to take her. They want him to join, or they'll burn the village to the ground. Yu Di agrees. For her. Then a voice echoes in his mind: Curse Unlocked: 0.3% Lifted.

We are Void

Herald Of Chaos

F4/100
Humanity flees through a wormhole to escape a dying Earth, only to find themselves trapped in the Sanctuary — a reality with simple rules: kill monsters, gain levels, survive. But Zyrus Wymar knows better after regressing on an abandoned Earth. A universe-spanning alien invasion has persisted for eons, and the Eternals ruling the Sanctuary are merely wardens of a galactic fodder-manufacturing plant. To slay them and atone for his regrets, Zyrus abandons his human form, embraces a bloodline that evolves through carnage, and forges his own power by cultivating Void laws drawn from quantum theory. His ambition does not stop at revenge. A war rages to claim the origin of the universe itself, and Zyrus will erase anything in existence to reach it.

Lilieth Lasvenn, the twelfth member of the hero's party, was betrayed and murdered by the heroes themselves. Young, timid, and meek, she was an apprentice priestess who filled the ranks with little distinction — her only notable trait a perfect memory. When that very same party betrays and kills her, an inexplicable revival gives Lilieth something she didn't have before: an undying body and the ability to absorb the memories of others and copy their spells. She swears revenge, but to kill a hero is no simple task. As Lilieth learns to fight with her newfound abilities and grows stronger, she begins to realize the world is hiding secrets — buried memories that should never have been unearthed.

This time, she has a new mission: to right past wrongs and protect everyone she holds dear — especially her loyal Paladin, Anna Silverlight. But as the tides of destiny shift, the world itself begins to push back, determined to thwart her attempt to rewrite it.

Skye Reed

Asterion's first life lasted far too long. He learned alien languages, mastered unknown magic, and watched his comrades fall one by one before facing the Dark Lady at the bitter end — only to cast a self-destruction spell intended to finish them both. Yet somehow, he survived. All he wants is to rest permanently. So why does everything keep happening to him? A new magic academy has built itself atop the first floor of his labyrinth and stolen his legendary relics to power their campus. Students keep tumbling through random wormholes into his lap. And deep in the Abyss, an ancient entity stirs. Perhaps there is a reason he was revived. For now, Asterion is focused on one goal: building the coziest labyrinth possible.
