Sword Saint's Reincarnation

Ayer12

C55/100
Roland was the greatest swordmaster in the world — the Sword Saint — with no enemy he couldn't defeat and nowhere he couldn't go. The price of pursuing strength above all else was death at the hands of his own brother, the last surviving member of his family. Reborn in the body of Rylan, the greatest shame of the Flameheart family, Roland refuses to waste his second chance. He has the capability and the drive from his past life, and now also the wisdom to understand what truly matters. He won't forsake family again. Reaching the peak will be easy. Staying true to his newfound convictions while the criminal underworld hunts their best former customer will be much harder.

Arcane Apocalypse

Arawn Frostguard

C55/100
What would happen if Mana touched a Realm thus far deprived of it? The people of Earth are about to find out, and it's not going to be pretty. The moment the barrier keeping supernatural powers out collapsed, only the System's intervention held the world together. Mia is one of those tiny people on the floating rocks in the void — and she has much bigger problems, like goblins trying to eat her. It's not all bad: she may have monsters trying to eat her and disturbingly pointy ears, but she seems to have a real talent for magic.

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C53/100
Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans. Stepping through a portal of light was dangerous and foolhardy; stealing the destiny of a young man was tasteless. But when the choice was between that and death, he was willing to take the deal. Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.

FFO

Rachel Aaron

C53/100
In the real world, Tina Anderson is invisible and under-appreciated, but in the VR game Forever Fantasy Online she's Roxxy — the respected leader of a top-tier raiding guild. Her brother James is a college drop-out struggling with debt, but in FFO he's famous for completing every quest and collecting the rarest items. When FFO becomes real, wounds stop being virtual, monsters turn cunning, and death might be forever. Separated across a much larger and deadlier world, their only advantage is the skill they spent years building in the game.

Nero Walker

Leetle Sheet

C53/100
Nero has been transported to a world built on fantasy instead of physics — a society focused on self-improvement and cooperation, with competent administration and opinions based on rational argument. He's not prepared for any of it. While the world is big and full of characters, Nero would mostly prefer to ignore what's going on around him and focus on learning magic. Allies will assist him and mentors will guide him, but the leveling system he keeps trying to avoid turns out to be far more complex than it first appears. A slow-burn story following an internet troll with a heart of fool's gold, forced to grow up by circumstance and the people around him.

Legends of Arenia

PA_Parsons

C53/100
The Sullivans are a normal family — until the walls of their home disappear on Thanksgiving and they are transported to Arenia, a place where game rules are real and their Earthen ability to reincarnate grants them unlimited potential. Or it would, if the celestial administrator in charge of their case hadn't mixed up longitude and latitude and sent the wrong family. Too bad he already faked their deaths. Now scattered throughout the Arenian wilderness, armed only with their Tomes — books containing all of their skills, accomplishments, and quests — the family must discover a strength they never knew they had if they're going to survive long enough to find each other.

The Archon

Dominic Stal

C53/100
Being a mage isn't all it's cracked up to be — especially when you've witnessed the end of the world and the demise of all you've ever loved. As a particle physicist, William Jenkins is as unsuited to survival on an alien world as any normal thirty-something post-doc could be. Thankfully, he's not alone: with an A.I., magic, scientific curiosity, and most improbably a deity on his side, Will must come to terms with his new reality before otherworldly terrors extinguish all hope. Meanwhile, Effni Naridia, Qaseri Ranger and Guardian of her people, must face her own demons — by undertaking a trial that could determine not only the fate of her city but unravel a mystery aeons in the making.

Charles Dean

C53/100
Lars wakes each morning to a voice in his head urging him to kill — claiming she's just handing him quests to help him level. He ignores it. The cultivators who bullied him his whole life are as far above him as gods, and killing isn't in his nature anyway. Then a murderous sect descends on his village, slaughters everyone he knows, and takes his mother as a slave. Lars has no choice but to trust the voice, complete her quests, and find a way to grow strong enough to get her back.

Ronan Steele was in a meeting when the apocalypse struck. Now he must defeat hordes of goblins to complete a system tutorial and make it back to an Earth that has been merged with three other planets — a world now overrun by mutated beasts and dangerous invaders.

The further he goes, the more his heritage grows. Driven by a single goal — to bring down the system that forced this tragedy on his world — Ronan grinds through an endless apocalypse, life after life.

Focus on yourself. Survive, thrive, become a god. Dennis has other priorities. Beating hopelessness with overwhelming fervour, he faces a system apocalypse with an unhinged yet charismatic determination — and an absolutely unbalanced power set that puts faster-than-light speed on the table. Things will get dark. But Dennis never stops pushing forward.
