Ironbound

Andrew Givler

S86/100
In the Iron Empire, only the strongest are given a chance to Ascend. Castor has wanted nothing more than to fuse with a Cor Heart — an otherworldly metal that would let him bind a Symbol and manipulate the elements. When his chance is interrupted by a vicious attack that leaves his home in ruins and his family in peril, Castor is conscripted into the Legions and bound to a Symbol he never wanted. He must now survive the Iron City, enemies in the frozen North, and clandestine traitors within the rusting Empire itself — driven above all by revenge.

Throne Hunters

Phil Tucker

S86/100
Harald Darrowdelve has squandered every gift life gave him—until he enters the dungeon beneath Flutic and receives a demon's dark blessing. Weak, privileged, and directionless no more, he now commands powers forged in darkness. But each new ability and hard-won level drags him deeper into the ruthless politics of noble houses, shadowy rivals, and the celestial war burning beneath the city's streets. The dungeon reshapes him with every victory—but at what cost?

Sponsored System

Tom Larcombe

S85/100
Earth has been given thirty days' notice before being inducted into an interstellar System. When aliens offer early access to the System — for the price of an ounce of gold — Mike and his prepper grandfather manage to scrape together the Krugerrand needed to get him through the portal to a training planet. The training is simple but brutal, and a corrupt orc trainer takes a personal interest in Mike that quickly turns to hatred when Mike refuses to be scammed. The conflict sends Mike fleeing into an ancient, monster-filled forest far outside the Safe Zone. By the time he returns home, he's gained a class, a group, and more power than most trainees who played it safe. But Earth is already falling apart — the System's arrival brings monsters, and it's time to put that training to work.

Victor of Tucson

PlumParrot

S85/100
Victor can't wait to get out of high school and start his own life on a sports scholarship. That plan is derailed when he steps into his abuela's house and somehow ends up in a world filled with fantastical meta-humans, walking talking devils, and creatures one usually needs serious pharmaceuticals to see. Fanwath is no dream — it's a nightmare. Sold into slavery as a pit fighter, Victor learns his new home is controlled by the System, and the only way to get ahead is to fight, kill, and collect the precious Energy that means the difference between a long life and an early grave. His stats start at a solid zero. Lucky for him, no one in this world has ever met his kind before — which means they have no idea what he's really capable of.

Earthen Contenders

Jonathan Brooks

S85/100
Against his will, Thaden was transported along with millions of other humans from Earth to train as Contenders in a new world. Something went wrong during his transfer — he was ejected from the training program and sent into the open mouth of an active volcano. Through a miraculous and horrifying series of events, Thaden survived, only to find himself alone in a dungeon with no clothes, no weapons, and a Support-based Healer class with no offensive capabilities whatsoever. None of his spells do damage; he can't even pick up a weapon. But Thaden quickly discovers something unique about himself that might just allow him to survive — because he seemingly will never run out of Mana.

Hawkin's Magic Beers

James Ghoul

A84/100
Hawkin rejected adventure to pursue a slower pace of living. Isolated in the wilderness far from civilization, he fends for himself using the axe he earned on the Lumberjack quest path — the quest path he'd gladly disabled long ago. After ten rugged years alone in the northern forests, visitors begin to appear: first an ancient, overpowered monster who becomes more friend than foe, then a lost trio of monks who share a beer so good that Hawkin is moved to return to the dreaded system. Dellia, one of a thousand gods, seeks Hawkin's help to expand her influence among humans, promising to guide him to becoming one of the greatest brewers the world has ever known. Hawkin's only condition: he never leaves his woods. When goblins encroach on his territory, he forges an alliance with unlikely companions and sets forth on a journey to brew magic beer.

All Jobs and Classes! I Just Wanted One Skill, Not Them All!

Comedian0 L

A84/100
Ludger was supposed to be just another forgotten soul, reborn into a quiet life. With nothing but a mysterious system in his vision and the faint promise of growth, he resigned himself to learning the humble trade of cooking — until one reckless night in a tavern, when a hooded mage and a simple spell shattered the illusion of normalcy forever. Marked by the system as a prodigy, Ludger finds himself with access to every Job, every Class, and every Master's path. He refuses to let his second life waste away like his first. From kitchen tricks to forbidden magic, every choice reshapes not only his future but the balance of power around him — and what begins as a child's daily grind slowly transforms into the legend of a boy who refuses to follow anyone's script but his own.

When a message appears in Marc's line of sight warning that Earth has been in a "variant Natural Laws beta test" for millennia and is about to revert to the norms, he decides — sane or not — it cannot hurt to prepare. Once the change begins, monsters spawn across his town, everyday animals mutate into dangerous creatures, and Marc's small group races to create a Safe Zone while the system hands out classes and magic to those capable of grasping them. With a system that desperately needs English-language lessons and an increasingly strange universe behind it, Marc works to rescue as many survivors as he can.

Paladin Of The Forsaken Lands

jollybane

A82/100
Vrax should be dead by now, and he damn well knows it. Yet he's still here — delving into the eldritch unknown of the Forsaken Lands at level zero, being an overtly picky asshole, and praying for the System to give him the perfect class. Until then, he'll just have to outwit or outrun the horrors most sane adventurers avoid. Everything changes when he gets offered a class with twisted but limitless potential: one that lets him fight the horrors he's been running from his whole life using even worse creatures of his own making. Steady progression from level zero, with a unique power set that lets him craft and twist monsters into deadly horrors.

Vigil Bound

James A. Hunter

A82/100
Boyd Knight found his calling when he joined the Marines and qualified for elite Force Recon. He'd found a tribe and a family — so when a hand grenade landed near his team, he jumped on it without thought or regret. Instead of winding up dead, he wakes up in a cave full of monsters with a knife in one hand and a pistol in the other. He's been chosen by Raguel, the Five-Faced God of Justice, and entrusted with the power of the Vigil Bound. Every kill makes him stronger, and thanks to the Ascendant System, Boyd can level up, unlock spells, and harness the abilities of the monsters he's dispatched to hunt.

He's the unluckiest person he knows — bullied relentlessly, unable to make friends in any meaningful capacity. But everything would change if only he were reborn with power. Then he could slay towards glory… or die trying.
