Morcster Chef

Actus

C46/100
Adventurers seek dungeons for riches. Heroes storm great fortresses. Gods clash far above. Arek cooks lasagna and tops it with a dash of finely chopped basil. An orc who has seen more than his fair share of fighting, Arek wants nothing more than to spend his days cooking and away from the chaos of combat. But when Ming and her group of adventurers hire him as their full-time chef, his plans of avoiding violence crumble. He longs to leave his blood-soaked mistakes in his past — but old friends and foes have different ideas.

Merchant Crab

H0st

C46/100
Balthazar was just a random giant crab enjoying his life in a fantasy world full of bothersome human adventurers — until he accidentally discovered the secret of attributes and levels. And also pie. With baked goods and coin as his new life goals, he turns to the competitive business of trading the random junk adventurers loot every day. Balthazar will do everything to find a baker, except leave his pond, because exploring the dangerous world out there is for suckers. Meanwhile, adventurers just can't seem to stop dying around his home, and he keeps making great new friends by simply buying them.

Gunwitch

Goroella

C46/100
Hecate has never done anything wrong in her entire life. She was supposed to follow the rules, pick the same class as her mother, keep her head down. Instead she picked [Gunwitch] — and shot the Archon's son. Thrown into Silesia, a place that burns witches, Hecate has two guns, magic bullets, and nothing left to lose. Every head she claims only adds to her power. A loot system inspired by Diablo II runewords fuels her rise from outlaw to something far more dangerous.

When Aurum Industries announced the first full-immersion VRMMORPG, Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword-and-sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and uncrowded job market — one he was willing and eager to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of soil and the sowing of seeds, exploring the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed.

The Factory Must Grow - Book 3: The Wheels Must Turn

NorskDaedalus

C46/100
Constructing a portal is a monumental undertaking, yet the Forerunners have guided dozens of civilizations to that end and know exactly what is needed: thousands of laborers, hundreds of brilliant artisans, dozens of powerful mages. As the culmination of years of work, they tear a hole in the fabric between realities and travel between worlds. There is simply no reasonable way for only five people — prepared for a standard Isekai scenario yet now stranded on a hostile and alien world where mere survival is a challenge — to ever build a portal. But reasonable people don't become Forerunners.

Ogre Tyrant

Blind_Watcher

C46/100
Tim wakes up naked and alone in a fantasy world that has officially labeled him an Ogre. Before he can get his bearings, he is enslaved and put to work killing other monsters for his new masters. Kindhearted and used to being pushed around, Tim must find his spine and turn the tables on a world that would see him dead or in chains. The story follows slow-burn progression, with GameLit elements that taper off as Tim begins to internalize the system rather than read its text boxes.

Arachnomancer

Dustin Tigner

C45/100
Dhane kicked the bucket in spectacular fashion — every bone crushed against the full force of a 40-ton garbage truck. His soul bounced into the abyss between worlds, drifting until an excited soul watcher fished him out and found him a new home: a heaven for gamers, with classes, killing mobs, and a beautiful fantasy world full of mysteries. At least, it would have been those things if his first day had gone a little differently. Instead, he finds himself locked in an eternal conflict between light and shadow — humans and monsters — potentially as the enemy to all. Join Dhane as he explores his new world, full of unique characters, RPG mechanics, and spiders — ugly, terrifying spiders — while learning what it means to be an Arachnomancer.

Return of the Martial Messiah

ToraAKR

C45/100
ZionLine's promise was irresistible: triple your lifespan. The price? Surviving an unknown world rife with brutal combat, where gruesome deaths are terrifyingly real. For a desperate humanity, it was a price worth paying. But beneath the time dilation's gleaming facade lies a horrific truth that Earth's elite will kill to conceal. Raine KongRu has seen this future before — he lived through the captivity it heralds, and he knows there is precious little time to consolidate his power before millions die again. Under the guise of Alaric, Raine is hunted by those with the means to see him dead in both worlds. CronGate was once his home, its leaders his mentors, its people his own. They taught him everything he knew — and enslaved him for a lifetime. The feeling is mutual.

Everything changes when an impossible broadcast interrupts every screen on Earth, announcing a "System Integration" and inviting humanity to touch mysterious orbs appearing in every city. Monsters. Magic. Classes. Levels. Earth is no longer just a planet. With nothing left to lose, Luke becomes something vanishingly rare: a healer. But this isn't a game — healing takes nerve, precision, and pain. Luke must master his intricate Lifeweaver powers while navigating a volatile tutorial and a still-intact society scrambling to make sense of it all.

Nearly a century ago, rifts opened and giant magic-blooded bugs descended upon humanity. Born and raised in a small desert village, Sand-Dancer Marisol wants nothing to do with the distant war.

But when leviathans attack her ship and strand her in the middle of the sea, she's forced to pick a class from a system. Three out of four classes will save her life and bring her home — but only one will let her stand on water, move forward, and save her mother. So what if her system tells her she has less than a one percent chance of making the journey? Marisol will skate to the city or die trying.

Mask of Humanity

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. For Nicolai, this new world is a dream come true. After a century trapped in metal, he is free — and he can resume his endless goal: to become the greatest fighter alive.

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.

Only the strongest of monsters can hope to survive in the savage dungeon, and Click must make the most of their unique abilities to come out on top — or at least alive. Click can best be described as Lawful-Neutral, finding merit in making and benefitting from allies rather than trampling everything underfoot. Not a hero, but definitely not a mindlessly evil villain.
