Apocalypse Knights

DB King

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 Anime Trope System

Syr456 AnimeFics

B60/100
Clyde is thrown into the anime world — a place that exists, humanity just doesn't know it — and declared the Stone, the main character. His mission: kill the Viper, or Earth is finished. This is the comedic tale of a young man versus cliche anime tropes, complete with random girls falling in love over nothing, yanderes, and leveling up just like in an RPG. The question is whether Clyde will find the true purpose of this cruel game — or be consumed by the tropes entirely.

Ashley must navigate an apocalypse she knows nothing about, growing stronger only by assimilating the skills of the fallen — all while slowly recovering the emotions and memories she's lost.

As her magic boosts the guild to entirely new levels of power, trouble brews. Rival guilds want Sery's power and are willing to destroy Eterna to get it.

Mage Steel: A Western Sci-Fi Cultivation Series

Dominick R

C59/100
A thousand years ago, Earth fell. Rifts tore open reality, flooding the planet with eldritch horrors. Humanity evolved, adapted, and awakened to new powers — but it wasn't enough. Earth was abandoned and humanity scattered to the stars. Now, Knights are all that remain of Earth's warrior legacy: humans wielding Rift-forged power armor and ancient combat disciplines, fighting for hire across the galaxy. Cadet Kon was training to join their ranks until his ship was shot down and he crash-landed on a Rift-infected world crawling with pirates, bandits, and relics of a dead civilization. Cut off from command and surrounded by monsters that should not exist, survival becomes the first test of many as Kon fights his way through a world lost to madness.

Hunter Mythos

C59/100
Jay Luckrun has many interests: street dancing, anime, action movies, comedy, and dashing across rooftops. But after a failed attempt to talk to his crush at her birthday party, he adds dungeon crawling to the list — because the Apocalypse has arrived. A divine creature chooses Jay to become a Champion, granting him a leveling System, stats, Skills, access to dungeon dimensions, and gravity powers that can alter reality. The downside: global assassins want Jay and other Champions dead, and monsters are hungry to break free from their dungeons and raze his world.

Ten Thousand Tragedies

NMR-3

C59/100
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.

Path of the Last Champion

TheWanderingWind

C59/100
Nar was born in darkness and was meant to die there — a slave, shackled by a sin long forgotten, doomed to a life beneath the surface. His eyes were never meant to see the Infinite Nexus or the wonders of the Endless Labyrinth. He was never destined for power, a class, or the System. But he made the choice few sinners dare: to Climb. Now he must forge a hybrid tank/DPS class, conceal a secret that could destroy his party, and achieve the impossible to save his dying father. With every step toward the City Without End, Nar unknowingly draws to a close a play that has spanned eternities — and no one is expecting him.

The Legendary Builder

J.A. Cipriano

C59/100
Arthur never expected to wind up in Hell — and certainly not because he found an ancient sword in a pawnshop. Hell is not as he imagined: a desolate wasteland under siege by an all-consuming void known as the Darkness, which will devour Earth next if not stopped. Trapped with no way home, a ragtag army of women, and a sword whose only power is to modify the abilities of those around him, Arthur must somehow turn the tide. As he fights his way through Hell's ruling class, fallen archangels, and the Darkness's champion, the penniless orphan slowly becomes something the ancient conflict has never seen before: the Builder of Legend.

The System's creator has a scheme that will inevitably break the post-war peace that followed Ragnarok, and as a bearer of the System, Sylvia will have no choice but to dive into Hell's darkest corners and its highest society — all while building a safe place for herself and the "gamers" who follow. Features politics, economics, kingdom building, soul cultivation, a complex magic system, and a slow-burn romance.
