Practicing Death

Runewriter

F15/100
What does it mean to learn from your own death? Seventeen was supposed to die in a frozen granary-fort. Instead, a forgotten spirit pulls him back. Every death sends him to the same starting line with a little more knowledge, a little more skill, and a growing weight of visions he does not understand. The System inside him offers no guidance — its skills surface under pressure, and the things he sees in death do not fade. They accumulate. To survive, Seventeen must turn every death into information, outthink the men who own him, protect the few people worth saving, and uncover why the world around him is beginning to twist. What starts as a brutal struggle to escape a granary-fort grows into something far larger: border wars, hidden orders, and old powers moving in the dark.

Reincarnated as Alarion Wight, heir to a powerful duchy, he finally has a family to protect in a world of magic and dragons. Armed with a super-intelligent AI from his old life, Alarion sees magic not as a mystery but as a system to be hacked — enchanted metals as resources for a revolution. He builds a shield of Arcane Steel around those he loves. When betrayal shatters his world and tears his family from him, the shield is reforged into a sword. From powered armor that can challenge dragons to energy blades that execute kings, Alarion will burn a legend into the fabric of this world — but in his quest for vengeance, he risks becoming the very monster he set out to destroy.

Spells VS Shells

Aleks_Kotov

F13/100
The protagonist never imagined that a gaming match would end with him waking up in a medieval world as an extremely weak mage. There's grimdark all around — arrogant nobility, monsters, and an impossible mission. But if you have the gift to shape metal and the knowledge to build a musket, the French Revolution might already be on the horizon. The Kingdom of Steel is rotting from within. Gluttonous nobles tear it apart, rebellions brew in the rear, and powerful neighbors wait for the perfect moment to intervene. Armed with forbidden knowledge and metal magic, the protagonist intends to claim what's his — and rewrite the world from scratch. Technology versus magic, tactical spells versus artillery shells.

Richard Tyrer

F12/100
Garek was a magical artificer. Now he's a conscript. The Empyrean Army doesn't train soldiers — it forges them in the Hall of Trials, a sentient, ever-shifting pocket dungeon. Survival isn't even Garek's primary goal; progression is. The Military Service Act only applies to those over twelve, which means Garek has less than two years to reach the fifth grade — Sapphire — to claim his son as an attendant and save him from certain death. No one has ever progressed that fast. But Garek has no Mana Core, only a unique Soul Core to power his spells and skills, and he treats every combat encounter as a puzzle to solve with strategy and intelligence. He has no other choice.
