Getting Warhammerred

Arawn Frostguard

C53/100
In the Dark Age of Technology, a dormant bioweapon waits in the shadows of mankind's forgotten past. A sinister ritual threatens to merge this weapon with a soul from a higher dimension and unleash Chaos upon the grimdark 41st millennium. The soul in question is a long-dead average girl from 21st-century Earth with a passion for sci-fi, yanked from her boring afterlife and reincarnated into the body of an eldritch bioweapon on a desolate world. Now she must wrestle with both her monstrous nature and her own identity as the dark undercurrents of a grimdark future close in around her.

The Idle System

Pegaz

C53/100
After an unexpected death, John wakes in another world where a system guides him. Known as a Sider — someone reincarnated from Earth — his initial aim is simply to survive. But his journey unfolds into something larger: a goal with a hard deadline, a royal family with designs on using him for their own ends, and forces larger than any of them at play. If John fails to reach his new goal in time, his one chance at a new life will be over.

The Cosmic Interloper

Marmoset Threat

C53/100
A cyborg transhuman escapes her corporate indenture and, through unfathomably unlikely circumstances, ends up in a fantasy world full of unique magic, angry people with sharp implements, and the whole flavor-spectrum of divine entities. Hard-ish sci-fi meets hard-ish magic in a rational, character-driven story that explores dark themes — including slavery, speciesism, and questions of identity and consciousness — while remaining darkly funny and occasionally absurd.

The Apocalypse Grinder

Adventuresse

C52/100
Ronan Steele was in a meeting when the apocalypse struck. Now he must defeat hordes of goblins to complete a system tutorial and make it back to an Earth that has been merged with three other planets — a world now overrun by mutated beasts and dangerous invaders. Ronan carries one advantage no one else has: when he dies, he wakes at the start of the tutorial again, keeping his skills and earning an XP boost each time. The further he goes, the more his heritage grows. Driven by a single goal — to bring down the system that forced this tragedy on his world — Ronan grinds through an endless apocalypse, life after life.

Imma be a speedster

UnproperMadman

C52/100
Every self-respecting basement dweller knows what to do when fictional monsters become real and people gain the ability to level up: figure out an overpowered build, grind, snowball, and become ridiculously powerful. Focus on yourself. Survive, thrive, become a god. Dennis has other priorities. Beating hopelessness with overwhelming fervour, he faces a system apocalypse with an unhinged yet charismatic determination — and an absolutely unbalanced power set that puts faster-than-light speed on the table. Things will get dark. But Dennis never stops pushing forward.

The Twelve Apocalypses: A Damned Soul's Path to the Abyss

AT Valentine

C52/100
Being drafted into a demon army wasn't on Hayden's bucket list. But when his soul is shoved into a human soldier on the eve of a new invasion, there's no appealing the decision. Around him, demons are excited and ready — for them, the invasion of Berlis, a classic sword-and-sorcery realm, promises a feast of souls and new growth. Hayden's human status puts him at the bottom of the totem pole, cannon fodder meant to die first. But as he plunges into the carnage, he discovers he was born for the madness.

Adamant Blood

Arcs

C52/100
Mark Careed has dreamed of being a hero since he was eight years old — fighting monsters outside the city walls, going anywhere he wanted instead of only where it was safe, standing shoulder to shoulder with the real heroes against kaijus. Now almost 18, Mark is close to taking the real Tutorial and Awakening his Power. But his hopes collapse when the False Tutorial estimates his future Power as a brawny — simply a stronger human, the fate of 90% of humanity. Mark refuses to accept it. Determined to change his fate, he sets out to do something drastic: seek help from an archmage, a true Hero of Humanity. A story of exploration, slice of life, kaijus, magic, other worlds, trauma, and growth.

The Great War ravaged the earth many years ago. In the years that followed, the world rebuilt by mixing machinery and magic into something new — great blimps belching steam above metal city-states that sprouted like weeds across the desert. Angel, a talented mage, scours the desert endlessly in search of lost knowledge. When it unexpectedly falls into his hands, he quickly realizes the world is far larger — and far more deadly — than he ever predicted. No amount of danger is going to keep Angel from seeking greater strength and claiming the greatest treasures the world has to offer.

Struck down in battle, a Hero and a Demon King meet their end at the same moment. As their souls linger on the edge of the afterlife, a mysterious force intervenes — merging their fragmented souls into a new being: Rusty, a living suit of armor. Affected by the memories and presence of both predecessors, Rusty embarks on his own quest. Will he seek revenge for the Hero's betrayal, fulfill the fallen Demon King's desires, or forge an entirely new path?

A Demon's Tail

Andur

C51/100
He was born in a dark place, in a world where souls were traded like coins and a person's life wouldn't amount to much. A world where a single misspoken promise could rip you to shreds. On top of everything, his only soul was acting up and mocking him.

The Obsidian Core

DustHurricane

The world is a wide, wide place — and that's without taking into account the many creatures that inhabit it. When a new Dungeon Core is born deep below the surface, it faces challenge after challenge in a world that is anything but welcoming. The only question is whether it is up to the challenge of surviving.

Until Death? (Refleshed Version)

Andur

C51/100
Ever been a god? Well, the protagonist was — until he died and got judged by the other gods. Apparently they didn't like the whole "my faith is the only true one" idea. And for the record: the Apocalypse wasn't intentional. For punishment, he gets sent on what he hopes is a vacation. A rewrite of the original story, featuring improved grammar, filled plot holes, and a lighter comedic tone following a fallen deity navigating a new existence.

Rise of The Living Enchantment

The First Observer

C51/100
When Aiden and a group of people are summoned to another world to stop the Demon King, the last thing he expects is for his brother to become the Demon King himself. In an attempt to save his brother, Aiden is caught in a clash of spells, suffers termination at the hands of the very system that has been part of his life since the summoning, and wakes up back at the beginning — on the day of their arrival. Armed with past experiences and knowledge, he has a second chance, and he has no intention of letting his brother become the Demon King again. The only problem: he doesn't think he's the only one who came back.

Xiphias

C51/100
Alexander died and woke up in a world not so different from his own — except for the aliens, the superhumans, and somehow becoming a villain with a supervillain team. Now every hero and bounty hunter in the country is after him. In a world where the rich get away with murder and heroes cause as much destruction as the bad guys, Alexander intends to change that. At the center of all the madness is a System still being born — shaped by humanity's hopes, greed, and desperation — and it doesn't just want this world. It wants all of them.

Erika may have been born lowly, but she knows she is destined for glory and greatness. Street rat, trash, orphan — these labels are mere fetters to be shattered. One step at a time, Erika will claim everything that is rightfully hers. And what the world cannot give her, she will take by force. A darker, grittier, and more realistic take on Pokémon with xianxia elements and a unique power system.

Wandering Warrior

Michael Head

C51/100
James Holden has reached the maximum level possible for a human — which is fortunate, because he is a wandering warrior without control of his destination, tossed between universes by gods who have failed to explain why. On each new world he serves as the lone Judge, righting wrongs the innocent cannot fix themselves, with one year to accomplish his mission. On his twentieth world, James quickly finds that the roots of corruption run deep — guilds protect themselves rather than the people, and monsters roam unchecked. Being the strongest human will not be enough this time. He may have to recruit some new blood, even if he prefers to work alone.

After the End: Serenity

Lillene

C51/100
At the end of everything, the Final Reaper won — but it was a hollow victory. Having killed everyone who wronged him or his people, he was left utterly alone. When Order's Voice offered a chance to reset the multiverse to an earlier time in exchange for most of his power, the choice was easy: start over from when Earth was first brought into Order. Landing in his old body, the Final Reaper becomes Thomas again — and chooses a new name for a new life: Serenity. He has ten years from the moment the Voice arrives to prevent Earth from losing the second round, as it did before. It will require a group effort, which is difficult for someone who has been alone for longer than he can reckon. A system apocalypse story designed so that a large percentage of humanity can survive and prosper — if they work together.

One night, a bioweapon escaped its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark.

Now a strange creature made of darkness, James must deal with his new form in a world where superpowers, heroes, and villains are commonplace — far from the Earth he knew. As he learns to use his powers and meets allies and enemies, James faces the paths of heroism and villainy and chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of a lost Earthling soul as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows.

SerasStreams

C50/100
When isekai'd healer-turned-saint Eric Mercer dies watching his world crumble under a godlike titan, he expects peace or oblivion. Instead, he wakes up fifteen years in the past, summoned once more into the world of Elyndor — memories intact and the apocalypse inevitable. Stripped of his strength and starting again at level one, Eric must rebuild everything — alliances, power, and trust — before the end returns. Healing and protection won't be enough to stop the apocalypse. He must abandon the sanctity of his old magic and embrace something far darker. Every choice reshapes fate. And every decision draws him closer to redemption — or ruin.
