Route to Power

CSStephen

B65/100
Truth is stranger than fiction. Laiton had loved Pokemon, but that was a TV show meant for children — simple and easy, filled with obvious problems meant to teach moral lessons. Now he's found himself in a very different world: a place with culture, economics, and politics, inhabited by people with their own passions, goals, and prejudices. What's a reincarnated man to do when he finds himself in a vaguely familiar land filled with adventure and endless possibility — but not all of those possibilities are good?

Sorin Atharel was already a legend. After forty years of calculated risks, dead companions, and spent fortunes, he was ready to take the final step to immortality at the top of his tower.

He wakes at the bottom of a different tower, surrounded by strangers in a strange city — his entire life reset. With only a mysterious tile mosaic as a clue, Sorin must navigate his new reality. If he wants answers to what was done to him, there is only one path forward: he must climb again.

Paragon of Skills

VengefulBirch

B65/100
Jacob Cloud is sixteen, a miner's son, and he knows his fate: die young, broke, and anonymous in the town that feeds silver ore to richer cities and spits out its sons in pine boxes. He dreams of becoming a Knight — but that takes gold, rare Skills, and connections he will never have. Then the mine floor gives out beneath him. Jacob falls — not to his death, but onto a Rainbow-ranked Skill Crystal, something so rare people kill over it. He doesn't get a weapon or a healing Skill. He gets The Grimoire Extraordinaire — a support Skill that can only show him the flaws in any other Skill or item. No instant power. No glory. But Jacob isn't an idiot. He grinds, he experiments, and he uses the Grimoire to optimize the basics. In five days trapped underground, he boosts his skills to levels nobles would envy — and when he claws his way out, he's ready to quit the mines for good.

Too Stubborn to Die

B. F. Huups, Sir Bedivere the Mad

Fear of death never stopped Aaron from doing something dangerous. Now actual death can't either. Aaron was always a daredevil — motorcycles, cave diving, bungee jumping, skydiving. When his entire universe gets pulled into a System-managed multiverse, he happens to be skydiving, so instead of a peaceful introduction he goes splat and instantly dies. A goddess takes pity and resurrects him, but the only place she can send him is the Shadow Trials — a special dimension designed for the prodigies of each new universe. Stuck in the Shadow Trials starting from level 1, Aaron has one saving grace: he revives every time he dies. And he's going to abuse that as much as he can.
