Sovereign Of Realms

Ciel Nova

F6/100
When Ciel Nova steps forward for his Awakening, he expects a standard class — swordsman, mage, anything ordinary. What he receives is impossible: Realm Holder, a class no one has ever heard of, with no guides, no manuals, and no path to follow. Within him lies a realm of his own creation — a place where time flows differently, where days pass in moments, and where life can be nurtured beyond the world's reach. At its heart grows the World Tree, fueling both his realm and his own power. While others train in dungeons, Ciel builds worlds. His strength comes not from battle alone, but from patience, growth, and mastery over something far greater than swords or spells.

Extra's Mantle: Wait, What Do You Mean I Shouldn't Exist?!

NekoSama#9999

F6/100
In the beloved novel "Mantle of Gods," four chosen heroes are destined to save the world — and fail spectacularly, leaving reality to burn in eternal darkness. As a reader of that story, transmigrating into it as Jin Winters, a nameless extra not even mentioned in the text, was already bad enough. Landing in Vienna — one of four cities slated for annihilation in the opening act — made it worse. Armed with meta-knowledge and a cancer survivor's stubborn refusal to die quietly, Jin awakens the mysterious "Mantle of Harvest," a power system the protagonists never fully understood. But knowledge only matters if you live long enough to use it. Ninety-one days until the veil falls. Ninety-one days to grow strong enough to change a fate written in blood.

Skyward Ascension

Sourkrauts

F6/100
Caleb loved climbing because the rules were simple: don't fall, go up. Until the System arrived — and the mountain broke. When a fissure opens beneath him mid-climb, Caleb plummets into a newly formed dungeon on the back of a falling boulder. He should have died on impact. Instead, his fall is broken by the face of one of the dungeon's bosses, and the resulting surge of aether thrusts him into a brutal new reality. Armed with nothing but his body and a unique class built around his greatest strength — his hands — Caleb gains the ability to manifest spectral arms made of spiritual energy. To survive the hell he fell into and climb his way back to civilization, he'll have to master every inch of his power. In a world where strength decides everything, the only way forward is up.

Lifeblood Chaos

GeorgieD

F4/100
When the System arrives, Ray can finally get a grip on his chaotic life — literally. Whisked into one of the gargantuan Towers that have taken over the world, Ray ends up with one of the rarest Paths there is: Lifeblood Chaos. For every enemy soul he absorbs, he can channel a part of their life as his own — claws, wings, or stranger things. With new powers in hand, Ray sets out to conquer the Tower. Doesn't matter that he is sent into a brutal tutorial or that the Tower's rulers set him impossible challenges. In this new life, Ray won't stop until he reaches the peak.

Monsters, Maces and Magic

Terry W. Ervin II

F3/100
Glenn, a college sophomore, needs material for a sociology paper on unfamiliar groups—so he tags along to his university's game club. A creepy game moderator runs a session of Monsters, Maces and Magic, and before anyone can blink, Glenn and five other players are literally pulled into the game, transformed into their RPG characters. How they got there matters less than surviving a world filled with horrific creatures, unknown magic, and perilous roads. Glenn must adapt to life as a gnome healer while the group searches for a way back home.

We are Void

Herald Of Chaos

F3/100
Humanity flees through a wormhole to escape a dying Earth, only to find themselves trapped in the Sanctuary — a reality with simple rules: kill monsters, gain levels, survive. But Zyrus Wymar knows better after regressing on an abandoned Earth. A universe-spanning alien invasion has persisted for eons, and the Eternals ruling the Sanctuary are merely wardens of a galactic fodder-manufacturing plant. To slay them and atone for his regrets, Zyrus abandons his human form, embraces a bloodline that evolves through carnage, and forges his own power by cultivating Void laws drawn from quantum theory. His ambition does not stop at revenge. A war rages to claim the origin of the universe itself, and Zyrus will erase anything in existence to reach it.

Sins of the Healer [Isekai / Time Travel / Restart / Romance]

Kyshies

F3/100
We've all heard tales of heroes summoned to save distant worlds. But how do such stories end? For Arisa Ishii, the Student Council President and reformed delinquent, that ending seemed assured. After a long adventure, she had reached the final chapter of her journey in the otherworld of Nisha — or so she thought. When she killed the Demon Lord, time itself fractured. Sent back to the day after she was summoned, one year ago, with the full might, magic, and hard-earned wisdom of a veteran Healer Hero, Arisa finds herself at the beginning of her adventure again. This time, she has a new mission: to right past wrongs and protect everyone she holds dear — especially her loyal Paladin, Anna Silverlight. But as the tides of destiny shift, the world itself begins to push back, determined to thwart her attempt to rewrite it.

Ends of Eternity

C. M. ANTAL

F2/100
No gods. No masters. Only Eternity — said the entity that was both System and God. It didn't quite understand irony. Klaus's life takes a turn for the weird when Eternity saves him from a head-on collision and drops him off on Oresstria #2111. What could a godlike AI need with a burned-out service engineer from Earth? Klaus finds he can't accept the entity's evasive answers — in his experience, "nothing is expected of you" generally means there's a hidden clause that's going to skin him alive. Oresstria seems heavenly at first glance: silver forests, rabbit folk, ancient ruins full of wonder. But lurking in dungeons that don't forgive mistakes are brain-slurping horrors and carnivorous wildlife. Sometimes the path to healing from the past takes you through several dungeons and a whole lot of monsters.

ArchMage Knight of Frost

Elend Rathbone

?
Rue's body has always been valued for one thing only: his blood. Called a savior while being slowly drained dry, he dreams of running — of dooming billions if it meant finding freedom. Beautiful dreams. Foolish ones. Then the System arrives, announcing the merging of millions of worlds and a grand tutorial involving trillions of beings. It should be Rue's chance — but instead he is thrown into another prison, where a Succubus demands he take the Warlock class or die. Rue is done with prisons. When the System offers him compensation, he takes it and chooses his own path: ArchMage-Knight of Frost.

Aetherios System: Fireborn

TT.Reynolds

?
Caught in a nuclear blast, soldier Alex Pierce and eleven comrades are dumped into a world of magic where stats rule and the System shows no mercy. Alex finds bigger problems than rations and childhood trauma: forest badgers with personal grudges, a kobold village too stubborn for diplomacy, smug elves, and an undead dungeon that didn't get the memo about staying dead. His power build is ruined by an early magical mishap, his fellow soldiers are a disaster, and his closest ally might be an evil talking river pebble. The System only cares about one thing: prove yourself worthy to exist — or be erased.

Unless he can discern truth from lies in time, its future will be even darker.

Agent of the Wild

Chris Tullbane

?
Having survived his first months on Eos, Brian Fieldings has much on his plate: revenge, justice, and shiploads of refugees arriving on the continent. To address any of it, he and his companions must grow far stronger and find allies — because some of their challenges are as much political as physical. Their role in saving a grand duke's daughter opens doors to high society, but the court in Trynfall is every bit as dangerous as any dungeon. And then there's the mysterious title that appeared on Brian's record: Agent of the Wild. What is the Wild, and what does serving it mean?
