Traclaon Armageddon

Alex Kozlowski

C46/100
Eric Peters has been reborn — sent back in time to change humanity's fate. After experiencing a future where all of humanity's planets and colonies had been purged, Eric refused to fall, and an Entity chose him to be humanity's last hope. The Reborn are galactic boogiemen — myths used to terrify children and curb the aggression of advanced alien civilizations, usually granted powers able to destroy star systems. But in Eric's case, the Entity gave him abilities barely classed as special. With only his memories and a couple of minor boons, he must survive evil elements within humanity, circling alien races, and change history enough so that when the Traclaon Empire declares war, his species can fight back.

Urmie

C46/100
Samaya Dhar, codename Maya, is a Special Agent who finds herself transported to a strange and unfamiliar world mid-mission. Her immediate priorities: find appropriate clothes, figure out where she is — and decide what to do about the half-dead child she finds in an alleyway. She'll take the little bun with her. She'll still find a way home. Or so she thought, until the boy turns out to be a Prince, and his father wants him back at the Palace. This is the story of a woman protecting her found family while navigating politics, harem intrigue, and assassination plots — and one infuriating man at the center of it all.

We Lease The Kraken!

Osamaru Ta

Jeremiah Bridge had it all: a clear path to becoming an inter-planar veterinarian, a life of privilege in Prima City, and the unwavering support of his brilliant sister Sarah. Everything crumbles when Sarah is framed as a villain and killed in disgrace. Branded by association and cast into the chaotic streets of Nexus — a world where magic, technology, and myth collide — Jeremiah is left with nothing but questions, grief, and a strange pendant pulsing with mysterious power. When the System, Sarah's final unfinished masterpiece, chooses him, it pulls him into a world of impossible creatures, cryptic bargains, and shadowed truths Sarah never shared. There's just one thing he can't figure out: why does it want him to open a pet shop? A story about revenge, grief, redemption, and finding good homes for good boys.

SlaughterBot

Given one direction — find the Lizard — Nicolai is thrown into Nightmare, a world of cultivation, undead, demons, spirit beasts, sects, and clans. He finds himself in a decaying castle constructed by a mysterious people, now filled with purposeless undead caught in an ancient war entering its final stages.

Far from the Empire's light, on a savage world, Angar is forged in fury as a gateway to the abyss tears his homeland apart. His maul thunders with unyielding hate, offering crimson tithes to the Lord as he carves a blood-soaked path to glory — or damnation. A new Crusader rises.

Quiet Life Of The Mute Archmage

P_Magno

D44/100
Rescued from the slums by a kindly Sage, Molly discovers a talent for magic unlike anyone else's. While others chant to shape Root and Structure, Molly sees the symbols in silence. When she awakens her true Affinity — [Epilogue] — she learns her power doesn't just use archmage-level magic. It ends it. Even the gods fear the silence of Epilogue. When her mentor dies, her final wish is simple: hide, enroll in the academy, graduate, find a party, and do not end up alone again. Disguising a divine-level threat as an average hero-in-training is hard enough — harder still when the heavens are watching, waiting for the one mortal who holds the key to their undoing. In a world where only those with a voice are heard, can a mute girl defy the pantheons?

Somebody Stop Her

Vitaly S Alexius

D44/100
In the sleepy town of Saint Mary, the Kilborne superhero family's new neighbors are more than just odd — they're supervillains. School would be a breeze for Martin Kilborne if it weren't for Alexa Terranova, his raygun-toting classmate who recruited him as her minion. Martin becomes quickly tangled in Alexa's supervillain plots: stealing an ice cream van, destroying the Superstate, and bewildering time-travel escapades leaping between his Earth and a dead world 400 years in the future. His life transforms from mundane to madcap — an ever-accelerating train ride with no brakes, packed with adventure, dark comedy, and post-apocalyptic cosmic horror.

The Legion of Nothing

zoetewey

D43/100
Nick Klein is your average high school geek — if you can still call yourself average when your grandfather was a retired superhero and you've been trained in martial arts by a mysterious immortal mercenary. After his grandfather dies, Nick inherits the last version of the Rocket suit: powered armor that lets him shrug off bullets, smash through walls, and manipulate sound. Along with the suit comes the base of his grandfather's superhero team, its jet, and forty years of trophies from fighting criminals and aliens. Together, Nick and his friends — descendants of his grandfather's teammates — attempt to bring back a superhero team originally formed during World War 2, facing both the normal problems of high school and the less normal problems left over from their grandparents' past.

Only time and rust will tell.

Now the next leap has arrived: the Seed consoles, so immersive they qualify as Artificial Reality rather than VR. But what happens when things become too real?

A soldier wins an afterlife lottery and is given the chance to live again in another universe — the Star Wars galaxy — with access to lite-Gamer powers. Beginning almost four thousand years before the Prequels, the story follows an original character navigating a far-future iconic setting. The RPG system is present throughout but gradually pulls back as the character and world take center stage over the course of the long-running narrative.

Fantasy World Epsilon 30-10

Phillip Rayne

D42/100
Jonathan Kelly, a citizen of a multiverse-spanning organization, is dispatched on a solo Dive assignment to a pre-industrial exotic world designated Epsilon H-037-072-030-010. The world features morphologically distinct humanoids and aberrations in otherwise normative physics laws — and its causal chain is only provisionally stable. This is not a story about an MC isolated in a new world. It is a story about a new world joining a multiverse — a subverted Isekai grounded in scientific and philosophical consideration alongside the adventure.
