Lich Lord

Levi Werner

D39/100
Reincarnated in the body of a Lich — an enemy to all — that's just problem number one. Zeke was only playing the villain to blow off steam. Now he's stuck in the body of one. Trapped in a hostile world, he must flee his former guild into a holy kingdom ruled by the Church of Olattee. Out of the frying pan and into the fire. His power is gone and he must start over. He is still a lich, and he still has his weapon, Mercy — more powerful than even he knows. The real question is: is he now a villain or not, and will he survive long enough to find out?

Reborn as the Black Knight

D.M. Rhodes (Razzmatazz)

D38/100
War rages across the continent as a foreign power sets foot on the soil of a beleaguered nation. Among those surviving on the fringes is the exiled youngest princess, Acacia Odofredus Krone — ill, forgotten, and living in destitute squalor after failing even as a low-ranking adventurer. At her side, a soul reborn from another world finds himself reincarnated as the powerful manifestation of an ancient prophecy: der Schwarze Ritter, the Black Knight. Together, the two face dire poverty, Acacia's fatal sickness, the looming threat of her noble bloodline, and a horrific war — fighting their way up from the lowest shadows toward something that feels like a life worth living.

The Cozy Abyss

Harmon Cooper

D38/100
There are three levels to the afterlife. At the top lie the Celestial Plains. At the bottom is the Chasm. And in between lies the Underworld — where brave soldier Sylas Runewulf finds himself after he dies. Following a mysterious blue prompt, Sylas journeys to the town of Ember Hollow to breathe new life into a quaint local pub. Dubbing it "The Old Lamplighter," Sylas hopes it will be a safe haven for weary souls. The prompt reappears with a warning of an impending invasion, and as Sylas works to decipher the message, he faces challenges, makes friends, and builds a community around his humble pub — one he must soon defend, or they'll all face a fate much worse than death.

The Lich Queen

YoruTsubasa

D38/100
When Sepharin K. Vrost awakens in an unfamiliar world, she's no longer the ruler of Necron's eternal night — but the Warden of a crumbling northern border in a frozen land besieged by monsters. Burdened with a new mortal body, she must wield forbidden necromancy and frost magic to resurrect the fallen as undead soldiers. Her people despise her methods, and her estranged brother demands she relinquish her power. Sepharin has only one option: conquer death itself and defend her realm. After all, true queens never rest in peace. In the second arc, as she enters the Tomb of the Dread Empress, war with the orcs reaches its climax and long-imprisoned powers break free. Inheriting a Dreadworking Stronghold sets Sepharin on the path of rebuilding her legion — machinery capable of levelling cities, flying towers, and beacons that illuminate the frozen skies. But old forgotten souls stir in the deepest dark, and the powers ruling the world have begun to notice.

A Destined Journey

Cathfach

D38/100
A lost soul drifting in the Void floats too close to a new universe and finds itself drawn in, bound to a new life, and reborn as a human. Born as Robin, with no memory of his alien heritage, he lives normally until unlock day — when the System informs him his soul is far from local, and that with his heritage comes magnified experience gain, the echo of everything that was lost. Potential can be a double-edged sword. Viewed as a valuable tool by his social superiors, Robin must protect his family and retain his freedom while walking a tightrope, particularly when the jealousy of others throws carefully laid plans into disarray. A slow-paced, crunchy LitRPG with a single male lead who works largely alone.

Goblin Summoner

Tracy Gregory

D37/100
When an accident claims his life, Gareth finds himself reborn on Acamida — a world where sorcerers draw magical power from a deck of cards, summoning monsters and flinging spells. It's just a shame he's found himself with the weakest cards around: goblins. Joined by a fallen goddess, a deposed demon king, and a surly local, Gareth sets out into a realm where experience points and levels are very real. As he finds new cards and grows in power, the rumbles of war stir in the west — and if he's going to survive, he'll need to master his deck and find the strength hidden within his goblin allies.

Chosen of the Endless One

MrCarson

D37/100
Amos got in a car accident — and didn't get isekaied, reincarnated, or transmigrated. That happened five years later when his transplanted heart failed. But why would the Endless One grab an artist and animator to run a barony? Thousands of hours of YouTube videos might be an unlikely foundation for governance, but Amos must use every unconventional skill he has to shield his barony from a coming civil war while navigating the kingdom of Falmoren's treacherous politics. A slow-burn kingdom-building story set in a late Bronze Age feudal world.

A Chronicle of Lies

Mekanip

D37/100
Vincent Cordell, a college student with schizophrenia, doesn't want to be different. He just wants a normal life — something his condition has never allowed. Voices whisper, walls bleed, eyes sprout in strange places. Getting a degree in electrical engineering is hard enough without worrying about falling into the abyss of his own madness. One dark night, the abyss pulls him in. A supernatural entity strikes, a car accident becomes anything but ordinary, and Vincent finds himself thrust into a majestic alien world where dragons walk like men. A painful, impossible transformation leaves him in a body he doesn't know how to use. An ancient evil stirs, strange storms leave terrors in their wake, and the natives believe he has the power to save them — but he wants nothing to do with their prophecies.

God Of Velmoryn

Winged Sage

D36/100
One moment I was a nobody — a freelance web developer with a failed law degree and a cat who barely tolerated me. The next, I woke up floating in the void, staring at a glowing blue screen informing me I was now a god. A weak, insignificant one, but a god nonetheless. No instructions. No divine wisdom. Just me, a barren status window, and an empty faith with no followers. So I destroyed the last statue of the velmoryn goddess: if I was going to be a god, I needed worshippers, and a little divine intervention seemed like the right place to start. Now I have a broken and lost tribe looking for answers, a system I don't understand, and a world that won't take kindly to a new deity on the rise.

Peasant Farmer to Emperor Mage

JustKidding

D36/100
Jacob is, by his own parents' estimation, a waste of a human. He flunked out of college, can't hold a job, and is approaching thirty with nothing to show for it. Then an incident removes him from their lives entirely — and sets him on the path of reincarnation, guided by a friendly old man into a world of magic. Reborn as the son of peasant farmers in the world of Meldra, Jacob uses his knowledge of modern agriculture and a touch of magic to turn his humble origins around. What begins as a slice-of-life story of survival and farming gradually opens into a broader magical adventure as the world's system comes into full focus.

Wanderer of Dust

QuickDuckling

D35/100
When Ren learned she had less than a year to live, she knew she had to find the cure. Her search put her directly in the line of fire of Atlas, a powerful megaconglomerate that no sane person would stand against. The cure wasn't supposed to work — and that was a problem Atlas intended for someone to find. Ren was captured and held prisoner like a test subject, pressed into using the cognitive weapons the cure awakened in her. When an outside entity rescues her from captivity, it also hands her an offer promising power she never imagined, with a very simple price: her soul. Follow Ren as she dominates minds, repairs broken worlds, and fails to maintain a consistent gender across lives — her closest companion a mental construct who defies her programming at every turn.
