Alexey Kovtunov

D28/100

His picks — Master of Shadows, Master of Darkness — are already taken, so he settles for the Gold-tier Ghost class, with bonuses that are a little questionable. Kasp never wanted to be a leader, a hero, or anyone's savior. He just wants to disappear. Unfortunately, the System has other plans — including handing him a settlement to run and a zombie head that never stops talking.

Settlement Stone

Rhea Zulu

Advent of the Apocalypse

D. Pidge, V.A. Lewis

D26/100
The apocalypse is here. Giant fireblasts tear across the earth as the Gates of Hell are ripped open — in an instant, billions are killed and human technology becomes worthless.

The Angels left a parting gift before their defeat: a System that bestows humanity the power to fight back. With it, Jaco will master his Druid Class and do whatever it takes not only to survive the end of the world, but to thrive.

I Tricked a God

Mortykay

D26/100
Born with a soul mutation desired even by the Gods — perfect memory — Kael could recall every word, every book, yet not a single drop of mana. Mockery, beatings, a ruined family, and a desperate deal with the God of Knowledge and Madness condemned him to centuries of slavery in the endless Divine Library. Seven hundred years of torment turned him into a vessel of knowledge. Then hatred — and the stolen Canon of Primordial Void — gave him a chance. Kael escaped back into his fifteen-year-old body, months before tragedy struck. Now he carries not only memory, but the knowledge of countless worlds. His goals: protect his family, hide from the gaze of the Gods, walk the path of power once denied to him — and take revenge against the God who enslaved him.

Early Adopter

Nat Wenty

D25/100
Private Investigator Scarlet Bourne isn't particularly bothered by the end of the world. When strange windows start appearing in people's vision, counting down three days to "Full Initialization," she does what she always does: she prepares. When the countdown ends, extinction never comes. Instead, the world gets monsters, mana, and the System. Most people panic. Scarlet sees a gap in the market — one an information broker is uniquely qualified to fill. The rules have changed and nobody knows what they are. She intends to be the first to find out, controlling the battlefield from the shadows rather than fighting her way to the top.

Progenitor's Path

Everheart

D25/100
Survive, protect, get stronger, and figure out what the hell a progenitor is. One Saturday morning, the planet was inducted into the wider universe — somewhere with horrors and wonders far beyond human imagination, where things from myths, legends, and dreams are commonplace. Alex, a man who preferred to stay home with his dog, found himself thrown into this new reality alongside the rest of Earth's population, drawn into the Universal System's tutorials. Alex didn't want this, nor to be changed into whatever a Progenitor is, but he refuses to be weak. If there is one constant in the surrounding chaos, it is that Progenitors never stop growing.

Time Cursed Knight

GCLopes

D25/100
In 2097, humanity discovered Mana. Arcane academies, spelltech cities, enchanted weaponry — magic became ordinary. But that blessing tore open portals across the globe, and the beings who stepped through were not refugees. They were invaders. They took everything. Now all that remains of humanity is a sliver of land clinging to the edge of a shattered continent. Every death drags the protagonist back to the beginning of the day. Every loop forces him to train harder, learn faster, and outthink a world designed to erase him. Some call this power a gift. To him, it's a curse — but curses can be shaped into weapons.

Demonic City Builder

Cattacomb

F24/100
He filed 101 support tickets. The System turned him into a demon. Kairon is a system clerk who finally gets his own city charter. He does what any good bureaucrat would: reads the entire Terms of Service, finds a loophole, and exploits it. Unfortunately, doing so calls down a pillar of hellfire that roasts him, his villagers, and everything within a league. Now he's a demon with ten confused imps, a giant tower with a floating eyeball, and a rudimentary system that tears buildings through rends in reality — while a theocratic empire prepares to hunt him down.

The Nameless Engineer

FrankG

F24/100
She wakes up on a hostile alien planet with no memory, no name, and a body rebuilt by machines. Everyone else got combat classes; she got Engineer, Level 0, locked from the start and designed to fail. But she's adapting — turning scraps and broken machines into things that keep her alive, getting stronger with every fight, and unlocking something new with every evolution. She needs answers: who she was before this, why she's here, how to get off this planet. Somewhere in her broken memory is a mission she was supposed to complete. None of that matters if she can't survive long enough to remember it.

Re:Chimaera

Philetus

F24/100
A crazy wizard bound my soul and turned me into a monster. My memories, lost; my body, an amalgamation of different parts; my soul, crammed into the core of a creation called chimaera. Despair was interrupted by curiosity. After killing and eating something for the first time, I started to learn about my new powers. Just as I was beginning to find happiness in my new life, the wizard blew up time itself. I should have died, but somehow I survived and found myself starting the whole thing all over again.

Rise Of The Worthy

CyberCinder

F24/100
Fifteen years ago, the apocalypse rained magical coins from the sky. Anyone who picked one up disappeared. Some never came back. Everyone who did was never the same. Shelby Thestalos never thought she'd become one of them. But when a molten corpse clutching a Class Coin throws her into the thick of it, she takes up the coin and joins the ranks of those who travel between Earth and the unnamed other world. With her newfound Gambler class and nothing else, Shelby will brave the dangers of the other world and come back stronger — no matter how much the system doesn't want her to.

Death's Disciple

TT.Reynolds

F23/100
Sometimes it's the villain who has to be the hero. As Dungeons begin to open across Earth, Adam Pierce survives by facing blood, brutality, and murder — and he walks out of the Tutorial as the disciple of Death itself. When it's discovered that these Dungeons are handing immense power to anyone ruthless enough to take it, Adam sees the catastrophe before anyone else: humanity is greedy and weak, and without something to unite the species, it will kill itself. So Adam decides he will unite the world himself, by becoming the Villain of the System Apocalypse. It means he is hated — but humanity thrives while he wades through betrayal and murder. Because something far worse than the Dungeons is on its way, and Earth will need to be ready.

The only thing Snow loves more than magic is taking it apart. When the Tower begins integrating Earth, humanity is granted inherent skills. Snow's [Suppression] can weaken anyone and anything, and combined with an anti-magic class and a near-limitless mana pool, it won't matter how strong, fast, or skilled an enemy is. Before the Tower fully integrates, Snow needs to find four specific people. After that, they will climb — all the way to the top. The arrogant gods watching from the Tower's peak need to be torn from their thrones, and Snow is ready to break them.

Miko Melina

Sentience came quite suddenly to Suri the slime, leaving him with an insatiable hunger and a vague memory of pretty lights and lots of magic. The forest of his home is crawling with shambling, humanoid monsters possessed of an appetite for magic that would put even his to shame — a fact he's sure is completely unrelated to his arrival. With his first evolution — Guardian Slime — Suri is given his purpose. When he finds the local human village under siege, his path is clear: protect people, eat stuff. But threats lurk around every corner. Pestilent magic spreads the shamblers' curse. Harpies fight for their survival, and a dungeon sprawls beneath the land, poised to swallow unsuspecting slimes. Can a tiny slime make a difference and save the people he cares for?

Bob the Walking Bank - A Monster Evolution Lit-RPG

Absurdist Ape

F22/100
Investment Banker Robert Stadler was not a happy man — cheating wife, estranged family, soul-crushing work. During a drunken night grieving all of the above, he was given the opportunity of a lifetime via speeding box-truck. Non-refundable. The new start was not as a human being. Now an F-ranked monster — a Lesser Mimic — trapped in an alien dungeon and very much at the bottom of the food chain, Bob must survive a world where his species demands an ever-more-obscene amount of treasure to evolve. His solution: teach the locals how to make their money work for them. It's time to make way for the capitalist revolution.
