Roaming angels choose people for a second shot at life, sending them to a world of magic and cultivation where power alone determines fate. Chance deserved it more than most — but he didn't make the cut. Not until a lucky encounter buys him a one-way ticket. He lands in the middle of an endless maze crawling with monsters. Isolated and lost, all he has is a strange luck-based magic, his determination to finally live a life worth living, and a whole lot of karma built up.

The Grim Guys

Eric Ugland

C55/100
Greg and Julian are two frat bros best known to their podcast listeners as master ghost hunters — but when a tornado sucks their van into the air, a goddess from another dimension gives them a stark choice: die, or agree to hunt monsters in a world full of magic and levels. Since when are ghosts the same as monsters? Awkward. But when the alternative is certain death, it seems worth giving it the old college try.

The Last Ship in Suzhou

lungs

C55/100
Ripped from the comfort of their world, David and Alice must face the demons of the past and enemies of their own making. The dictates of Fate and Karma push the universe to behave in a certain way, and cultivation is an act of defiance. To defy the heavens is to change the world — and nothing ever changes. Except when it does. A xianxia and isekai story done differently, where grudges held for generations obscure the source of blame, and a world seed awaits whoever dares to challenge the lie.

A new portal appears, and a single step takes him back in time to the day the end of the world began — giving him a chance to rewrite history and ensure humanity survives this time.

Dungeon Inc.

Colossal Soup

C54/100
Dungeon Inc. is the biggest 'fake' reality show on Earth — college kids pretending to be actors, starring as fantasy heroes. But on the other side of the portal, the monsters don't follow scripts, the loot is real, and there's no respawn button. For Alex Mercer, this was supposed to be the ultimate campus job: cosplay, clout, and enough cash to kill his student loans. Cast as the team's "wizard," he wields tech-enhanced equipment designed to fake magic for the viewers back home. But then he discovers that magic is real. Now Alex must survive a world powered by karma, Qi, and consequences. Somewhere between science and sorcery, he begins to wonder: can he become the mage he's only been pretending to be?

Seven million players were inside the VRMMO Realms of the Veiled Paths when an unexplained power surge sealed them in. Then they began to die. Caleb Stone's teenage son was among those trapped. A son he had lost once before — a son he refuses to lose again. When he logs in to find him, months have passed inside: empires have fallen, monsters roam freely, and surviving players have carved out warlord kingdoms and murderous factions. As Caleb gathers allies and searches for answers, he realizes that salvation might lie in his Tamer class — a joke class, incomplete and not ready to level, hiding developer code that nobody knew existed. Now that code is unleashed.

Agoraphobic Dragon

Edward Hill was an old man, content with his lot in life as a godfather and preparing for retirement when an unexpected ambush ruined his plans.

Now stranded in a new world, alone and without support, surrounded by people treating him like a commodity, he must choose: toe the line, or once again create his own path. And then there is this mysterious system calling him a hero — what a ridiculous idea.
