Lost Souls and a Demoness

LunarEntity (N. C. Lux)

D39/100
After thousands of people vanish from Earth, former gymnast Jade Callian finds herself thrust into an endless dungeon filled with magic, monsters, and far too few instructions. When she receives a mortal wound soon after arrival, she must choose a new race powerful enough to save her — and her only option is to become a succubus. If Jade wants to protect her home, she'll have to defy her demonic instincts, find trusted companions, battle monsters, and unravel the dangerous mysteries surrounding this ancient labyrinth. She just wishes she had more than demon seduction magic to work with.

The QuestWright

J.D. Mullenary Sr.

D38/100
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.

Reborn as the Black Knight

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D37/100
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.

The Legendary Poet

Nejm

D37/100
He needed a sword. The system gave him a pen. Klaid is a former kendo prodigy who treats VR as a ruthless economy, optimizing every second to pay for his mother's medical bills. On launch day, exploiting a lore paradox earns him the one class he can't solve: the Legendary Poet — a power-gamer's nightmare that runs entirely on emotion, the very thing Klaid discarded long ago. Now trapped between a dying mother in reality and a useless class in-game, Klaid must learn to feel again — not to heal, but to turn anguish into DPS. The narrative voice evolves alongside the protagonist as cold logic gives way to something more.

The Gods' Gacha Game: Return of the God-King

Astralium

Thrown into a brutal world of monstrous scenarios and scheming deities, Maximillian must exploit his unparalleled knowledge of hidden mechanics to survive and master the ultimate class — one that lets him inherit fragments of divine heroes' power and manipulate scenarios through plausibility itself.

Tory Riter

Arthur was a top-tier spy, right up until he broke the first rule of espionage: never uncover a secret that will get you killed.

If they cannot find him, they cannot stop him.

The Daily Grind

Argus

D34/100
Working overnight tech support, James Lyle discovers a stairwell in his office building that contains not stairs but a seemingly infinite landscape of supernatural cubicles. Unwilling to stay away, James and his trusted friends begin exploring this endless maze — where a few real-world minutes become eight hours of encounters with strange creatures and stranger interior design. In a realm that lets them level up in fax machine repair and pay the rent with dungeon loot, the adversaries are quickly becoming dangerous. And whatever James is uncovering in the office dungeon may not stop at the entrance.

Respawn Condition: Trash Mob

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D33/100
Every time it dies, it respawns as the weakest monster on the lowest floor of the dungeon. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of lives — every one remembered, every death felt. But unlike the other monsters trapped in the endless slaughter beneath an unbeatable hero party, this nameless soul keeps its memories. And with memory comes something dangerous: the will to escape. After countless reincarnations, it finds something no monster was ever meant to see — a hidden passage leading upward. To reach it, the soul must climb from the bottom up, mastering new bodies, exploiting glitches in the dungeon's rules, and outsmarting heroes who have never lost. Something in the dungeon wants it to stay. Something in the darkness is watching. The longer it climbs, the more it begins to question what the dungeon truly is — and what it is becoming.

Where the Dead Things Bloom

Vitaly S Alexius

D33/100
Drowning in a bathtub should have been the end of the problems, not the beginning of weirder ones. Now the protagonist is stuck in a reality where things refuse to die properly, buildings sprout tentacles, and their new best friend is a talking humanoid husky-girl who swears they grew up together. Between dodging electric bee swarms and taking advice from a tinfoil-hat guru, the two head back home — wherever that is in this System-shattered world. With Reconstitution at zero and her unwavering loyalty at max, love, memory loss, and the end of reality itself stand between them and finding their way back.

In the System

Petr Zhgulyov

D33/100
Ivan Susanin, an unemployed techie, is transported by the System to an unknown location along with a thousand other players. He has a spear, basic weapon skills, and 24 hours to earn enough XP to return to Earth — or remain trapped forever. The game takes place in the ruins of a massive city where the undead lurk and goblins raid the outskirts, but the most valuable prey may be the other players. Beyond the local objective is a global one: in the center of the city stands a temple to a fallen god, and until one player captures the Altar, the mission repeats. Ivan must decide whose pawn he'll become — or take the risk of staying independent.
