Humanity's #1 Fan

Illiriel

C55/100
When the apocalypse comes, Ashtoreth betrays Hell to fight for humanity. She was always too optimistic, too energetic, too nice — never fit in with the other archfiends. She was supposed to study humanity to help destroy it; instead, she fell in love with it. But as she tears through the tutorial recruiting allies to her cause, she quickly realizes something strange: the humans don't trust her. Sure, her main ability is [Consume Heart] and her class is [Bloodfire Annihilator], but that doesn't make her evil — it just means every enemy drops an extra health potion! It may take some work, but Ashtoreth is optimistic the humans will come around. After all, she has an important secret to tell them: Hell is afraid of humanity.

Arcane Apocalypse

Arawn Frostguard

C54/100
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.

And for Sanjay, it is a world where morality is constantly tested and hard decisions can't be avoided.

Godfather's System

Agoraphobic Dragon

C54/100
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.

Rachel Aaron

C54/100
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

C54/100
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.

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.

Hayden's human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, cannon fodder meant to die first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he discovers he was born for the madness.

A Pokémon fanfiction about a trainer who starts with a decently powerful team, competing at the level of Champions rather than earning Gym Badges. Inspired by the events of Pokémon Black and White 2.

The System Seas

RC Joshua

C52/100
Marco trained his whole life to become a captain, maxing every childhood achievement the System would allow — diving, rigging, outrunning couriers up mountains. When classing day finally arrives, the System doesn't make him a captain. It makes him a Gluttonous Marauder. The class has combat perks, shipwright skills, and captain potential — but a reputation so bad he's arrested on the spot. Now on the run in a barely seaworthy smuggler's dinghy, Marco sets out to prove he's not the villain they think he is, if he can out-sail bounty hunters, survive cursed dungeons, and feed enough victories to his ever-growing ship along the way.

He is born into a family of inquisitors — a noble order dedicated to hunting down and killing the "Twice-Lived," the name society gives to those reincarnated with their past-life memories intact. Elm must navigate a world that wants him dead, armed only with knowledge from a life that no longer exists.

Nyx was born Hollow — an empty vessel in a world of spirits, a condition that should have meant death. Somehow he survived, driven by stubbornness and a touch of madness. In a previous life, he did something reckless: he sent himself his own memories, throwing them into the Flow from which all spirits return. Now those memories have found him, raising questions he can't stop asking — was reincarnation real, would his half-baked plan actually work, and could his life possibly get any worse? It could.
