Respec On Death

Godric

C58/100
Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, over half of the population is gone, culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds — fail to clear them in time, and ten percent of Earth's population dies. Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. When a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for, and something older than the System takes notice. [Skill Activated: Respec on Death.] With each death, Jimmy changes — new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters. The System is watching. The gods are stirring. And Jimmy Novak is becoming something far more dangerous.

Dao of Language (English)

stormhand

C58/100
In cultivation worlds, geniuses believe the path of slaughter is the only road to the pinnacle — yet they always encounter hidden masters who surpass them without ever leaving their sects or fighting physically. An archaeologist specializing in dead languages dies after finding a door that should not have existed, and is reborn in another world. Due to a decision she cannot remember making, the fastest orthodox paths are closed to her — forcing her to take things slowly and follow the way of those hidden masters, guided by her talent for understanding and deciphering languages.

Ponder the Orb

Scribe_Apprentice

C58/100
When Mark is ripped from Earth and dropped into a realm of wizard towers and magic, he is taken in by an unlikely group of hermits who spend their days smoking halflings' leaf, arguing over spell theory, and quietly pondering glowing orbs. They call themselves the Blue Wizards. The powerful White Tower sect calls them a disgrace. As Mark begins training with them, he realizes something unsettling: their strange "orb pondering" might actually be a lost path to real power. Learning to cultivate mana, unlock spells, and navigate a mysterious inner world that shouldn't exist, he is pulled deeper into a system that clearly has plans for him. Unfortunately, those plans involve overflowing rifts, undead hordes, and a rapidly escalating necromancer problem threatening the entire Middle Realm. It turns out slowing down, smoking pipeweed, and contemplating the universe is a lot more dangerous than it looks.

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

C57/100
When a nameless pilot breaks through a dimensional rift, he and his experimental fighter-plane become the only things standing between a dying world and the monstrous army marching to destroy the last World Tree and its keeper. A man trained to hunt in the skies above barren ash-lands must now become the last protector of the perfect garden below. A soldier with as much blood on his hands as engine grease must find a way to live alongside a peaceful forest dryad — the tree's sole caretaker — as the invasion waves grow stronger with each passing cycle. As one nation after another falls, a transmigrated war pilot flying an experimental combat aircraft may be the only hope left for the world's many races, the sacred tree, and the peace-loving dryad who tends it.

She immediately demands they race. A completed action-adventure story full of racing, nanomachines, an overpowered AI that still can't handle an insane human, and plenty of chaos.

Tired of being a monster, he faked his death and fled to the mysterious lands of the east, where cultivators and yokai reign supreme, all in a bid to live the peaceful life of a farmer. How hard can it be to keep out of trouble?

Dragonheart Core

Atenburgh

C57/100
To take a dragon's hoard is to challenge death. The greatest of the sea-drakes wakes on his silver throne — but there is no silver. His hoard is stolen. He rises screaming, chases the thief to the ends of the world, and is shot from the sky. But dragons do not die easy — especially not one with such festering hatred. A dungeon core rises from his corpse. If he intends to survive so near the cove of the pirates who slew his past self, he'll need to master his new powers quickly. These are dragonslayers; they won't be felled by mere mushrooms or spiders. Beneath the lawless Calarata, the young dungeon core must fight to endure — and one day, return death to the man who killed him.

Emie Ascended

Braided Sky

C57/100
After centuries of struggle, Emie is the first from Earth to reach the pinnacle and ascend into an entirely different realm — a question she had wondered about ever since magic and progression became reality. Granted a boon and given advantages the natives can only dream of, Emie and her fellow Ascenders must rebuild their power from scratch in this new realm. Determined to make the most of the fresh start, Emie must find allies and begin her climb anew — except this time, she plans to actually live her life instead of focusing solely on progression.

Ace of Capes

kayday

C57/100
All Lexie wanted was to go to an elite college. But life deals her a bad hand and she's transported to a new world as the ten-year-old daughter of a once-beloved hero turned supervillain. The system wants her to be a hero, but she's only focused on finding a way home. Lexie isn't particularly brave or strong, and her deck-building powers are too weak for hero work. But as an overachiever with a passion for studying, she's confident that empirical research and a number two pencil can solve any problem. As unstable dungeons spawn and new villains arise, she digs deeper into her power mechanics and reverse-engineers a winning hand — one that may not be entirely legal. Maybe Lexie will be a hero after all. But it won't be like any of them expect.

Rise of Kers

Daniel Weber

C56/100
When Kers is reborn as a dungeon core, he finds himself stuck in the most improbable of places: a cloud. High in the sky and far away from the usual solid resources, Kers must face the obvious question — how is a dungeon to build itself without wood or stone? Luckily, Kers has the sarcastic (and sometimes helpful) fairy Selena to help him get his bearings. Together they delight in exploring his weird existence, creating novel mobs, and enticing adventurers to plumb his lofty heights. But other dungeons — each with their own unique resources and machinations — soon take an interest in Kers, and the Adventurers Guild does not take kindly to "irregular" dungeons.

Tidal Lock

ResonantIce

C56/100
Humanity has finally taken the next step into space. Governments run research stations throughout the solar system while private enterprises mine asteroids for rare metals and exotic minerals. However, space remains beyond the reach of the everyday person. In contrast, virtual reality technology has led to an explosion of full-immersion entertainment, and many people turn to VR for the thrill of spaceflight. One game, Parallax Gate, lets players experience living in an interstellar civilization. For maximum realism, its developers created a world solely defined by players' personal skills and ability. Mark Asami, a student of aerospace engineering at MIT, dreams of bringing spaceflight to the masses. To pass time, he plays as Aero Rayne in Parallax Gate with his roommate and their organization, the Temple Wraiths — until a chain of in-game events draws them deeper into the game's world and politics than they ever intended.

Dao of the World Walker

MylanWrites

C56/100
Chen Yang died once and was reborn as a helpless infant in a world ruled not by science but by cultivation, where enlightenment shapes reality and the Dao governs all things. His death and rebirth also awakened a strange ability: the power to travel between worlds — not as a conqueror or hero, but as an observer and learner. Rather than chasing power through violence, Chen Yang walks a rare path: scholar first, cultivating understanding through crafting, quiet contemplation, and deep exploration of each realm he visits. Every world offers new truths that shape his growing comprehension of existence itself.

It's all fun and games until someone gets hit by a truck — then it's an isekai LitRPG. Zane is a young man with the Chef class, questionable morals, and a rapidly growing collection of pet spirit beasts. Pinky is a kitsune out for fortune and fun. Using nothing but friendship, murderous pets, and overpowered techniques, they must climb a divine mountain to claim their reward — or die trying. Too bad they have already managed to enrage a powerful sect of cultivators. Apparently the elders don't appreciate having their disciples turned into pet food.
