Underkeeper

Hankthemoose

B70/100
Bernt might have graduated from the Mage Academy, but not everyone has the money or connections to launch a prestigious career as a mage. A few years later, Bernt finds himself working for City Maintenance as an Underkeeper among the other rejects of Halfbridge's magery. But hey, it's a stable job. With the help of his unlicensed, unregistered soul-devouring demonic familiar, he'll save enough to launch his career as an adventurer — just as soon as he can afford some proper gear. If only there were a faster way. Adventure, it turns out, has a habit of finding him first.

You Are Summoned

Dean Henegar

B70/100
It was supposed to be another boring day at the insurance office for Rico Kline, but powerful forces had other plans. Finding himself repeatedly summoned to other worlds as a disposable minion, Rico must face deadly foes, disarm insidious traps, become a test subject, and run errands for his various summoners. At least when each summoning ends, he is rewarded and sent back home — but being home has its own set of problems. A unique spin on isekai LitRPG: Rico is the summon, not the summoner, dragged into a variety of adventures and missions as his power grows with each return. But is any of it truly random?

The Eternal Assassin

Wizardly Dude

B70/100
Summoned to another world by an ancient lich, Asher — a mortician's apprentice — finds himself held captive by the dead. Deciding not to stay, he uses his newfound dimensional abilities to escape, stealing centuries' worth of illegal magical experimentation on his way out. In a world where resurrection magic makes death a mere suggestion for the upper class, Asher discovers his stolen power can ensure anything that dies by his hand stays dead permanently. A lot of very powerful people find this upsetting — an ancient cabal of liches, a noble order of truthseekers, and the kingdom's assassin's guild all want that power for themselves. Most won't stop until they have it, unless Asher can get to them first.

From Hell

But even within this abyss of despair, one small ray of hope existed: if even one person could complete every raid, humanity would be redeemed and restored. No save points, no revives, no retries. Within this marathon of death, one man becomes aware of an exception to the rules.

A Benevolent Evil Dragon

Nolifeneeded

B69/100
A powerless man, thrown about by a world he had no say in and unable to change his circumstances, is reborn as a newborn dragon with the potential to finally be truly free. Escaped from the grasp of higher powers and not keen to be another cog in the machine, he uses his cumulative knowledge and new talents to survive and carve his own path. Misfortune still follows him, however. Higher beings are keen on interfering with his existence, his own instincts and impulses as a dragon contradict his human mind, and old problems he thought he had left behind come back to haunt him. This is a story of exploring identity, the self, and the world — with a complex magic system and an unhinged, scientific approach to studying it.
