The Ghost Specialist

A Snake's Life

The negative: he has to survive the dangers of the legendary World Tree for the next three hundred years, reincarnated into a world full of magical evolutions, monstrous deer, sassy elves, and untold hidden dangers.

Becoming the Dark Lord

Mark Evenhart (aturato)

B61/100
The System integrated Earth into a multiverse of gods, monsters, and dungeons. Half of humanity answered the call. Some return stronger. Others never return. Thirteen years ago, Luke's mother entered the Tutorial and vanished. Now Luke faces the same trial — not for glory, but for answers. What should be a beginner's test becomes a death sentence when he falls into a forgotten dungeon floor where monsters are scarce, supplies are limited, and the only way out is a temple hanging over an abyss, guarded by a sleeping demon. Every puzzle kills. Every step risks his life. No buffs, no tricks — just a knife and the raw will to survive. When the light fades and the body breaks, Luke has only one choice: embrace the darkness and be reborn.

Afterlife 2.0

QuickDuckling

B60/100
The gods have scrapped eternal torment in favor of something new: Eternia, a brutal, glitch-riddled wilderness where fresh souls are dumped with little hope of survival. Fail here, and it's back to classic hell as a consolation prize. Enter Ellie, who dies just in time to beta-test the gods' twisted new system. Utterly unprepared, she's tossed into a world where everything seems out to kill her — or glitch out before she can figure out what it's supposed to do. Armed with nothing but her wits and a reluctant sense of humour, Ellie must navigate hostile terrain, outwit aggressive wildlife, and find some purpose in this cosmic mess. In a world designed for divine entertainment where the rules are still being written, anything could — and probably will — happen.

Ten Thousand Tragedies

NMR-3

B60/100
Death is the greatest teacher, and 721 has a lot of learning to do. The Martial Arts Alliance stands at the precipice of defeat as war threatens to consume the world — its sects and great families rotten at the core. As a slave soldier of the Red Dawn Sect, 721 is not allowed a name, feelings, or thoughts. His death is not a tragedy, only a statistic. But death isn't the end for him: every time he dies, he wakes up again 24 hours before it happened. With only a vague memory of who he once was, he will rise to the highest peaks — his road paved with his own bones.

B60/100
Maximo Strident, war veteran and local law enforcement officer, never wanted to enter the dungeon. Promises of wealth beyond imagination convinced him. Without a Knight's magical equipment or spells, Max relies on the formidable sword forms he learned at the Blade Academy — more than enough for low-level monsters, but far short of what the dungeon demands. When something goes horribly wrong inside, Max meets the legendary hero Artur Brightblade, who grants him something he never dreamed of: a unique class and the ability to become a Knight. Armed with new powers, Maximo must learn to cast spells, work within a cohort, and craft worthy wargear — or the apocalypse will destroy everything he loves.

The Apocalypse is a Side Quest

Liam Lawless

B60/100
Sometimes the best way to save the world is to ignore it completely. When the apocalypse hits, Nathan Lee accidentally dumps all his rare skill points into fishing. Humanity has been ripped from Earth and dropped into a colossal multidimensional dungeon — a nine-realm gauntlet straight out of a nightmare. Legends with sword and fireball are fighting to carve a path home. Nathan is busy maxing out his ability to sit quietly in a boat. Too bad the universe has other plans. On his first day in the tutorial, he accidentally deletes a monster from reality via a system bug, feeds a snail radishes and gets a rare skill, and somehow starts taking down ogres with his fishing rod. It turns out side quests and weak classes are more powerful than anyone expected.
