Limitless Path

DarkForsaken

B60/100
One day the Limitless Path sweeps up Earth into its established structure. Magic and beasts flood the world, making even a trip down the street a potentially dangerous endeavor.

Ascension of Chaos

WolfShine

B60/100
Ashley wakes up at the start of a System tutorial with no memories — only basic common knowledge and the blood of a primordial flowing through her veins. Her Skill Tree has just a single ability: to assimilate the skill trees of those she kills. As a Primordial System integrates every human on the planet, Gates open across the world and monsters pour out of broken domains. 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.

Cursed Relic Collector

Maradina

C59/100
For thousands of years, magic has been obtained through trades with the gods: sacrifice magic materials upon their sacred altars, and the gods offer relics in return. But this world of powerful relics has always been far out of reach for Dain, a simple trinket merchant — until masked cultists try to sacrifice him to the gods. Vowing revenge, Dain commits the ultimate taboo: creating his own altar. Only, he accidentally creates one for a god who shouldn't exist — a god that will only trade him cursed relics. Dain will scour the world, hunt magic beasts, and barter their remains for greater and darker relics as he digs deeper into the ancient schemes behind the cultists who tried to destroy him.

Tyrants of Earth

Purveilor

C59/100
All Ryan ever wanted was to become an adventurer — quests, skills, quirky teammates, and posting exploits on Realmnet. Instead he's broke, working at a Manaburger, and System slots cost more than his paycheck times ten thousand. Then he gets shot. Then the Trial System chooses him. What follows is a cascade of catastrophes: clashing with authority figures, stabbing a sword prodigy in a deathmatch, and getting blacklisted from the Adventurer's Guild before he's even started. Suddenly Ryan is no longer just a fry cook — he's a rare Destined, tasked with figuring out how to save not one, but two worlds. In a world ruled by Tyrants, Ryan must navigate between Earth and The Realm, where the line between villain and hero adventurer is mostly just attitude.

An Unexpected Hero

Jaime Castle, Rhett C. Bruno

C59/100
Danny Kendrick was a down-on-his-luck performer who never wanted to be a hero. Then he pisses off the wrong person and gets sucked into a fantasy realm straight out of a Renaissance Fair, surrounded by axe-wielding barbarians, elf assassins, and a System AI that seems more interested in causing mischief than helping. Gifted a mysterious ancient lute after a questionable deal with a Hag, Danny becomes the target of factions seeking its power. Together with his AI companion Screenie and his new barbarian friend Curr, Danny must uncover the truth — and maybe find the place where he finally belongs.

Summon Imp!

Oskatat

C59/100
Travel with a newly born demon as he grows and learns — in his own world and in every other world he gets summoned to. Usually to die or kill for others in strange and exciting places, though it's never certain what the next summons will bring. With each new world comes a new story, new experiences, and new lessons. He will work hard to become stronger, to be useful, and hopefully survive that way. A coming-of-age story — but different.

Gravity and Divinity System

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.

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.

C59/100
As alien watchers abandon and reset Earth, the world dissolves into primeval chaos. Monsters roam, magic surges, and survivors battle to reclaim what's left. Cunning mandrills now weaponize Earth's creatures against humanity, while warring dinosaurs and primordial beasts complete the apocalyptic free-for-all. Colin has spent six months keeping his community alive, running raids for food on a nearby mandrill town. That changes when he levels up into his new subclass — Beastmaster. Now bonded with Noiach, a formidable six-legged crocodile, Colin and his companion push their limits to evolve and dominate in this savage new world.

Alpha

Arthur Stone

C59/100
No empty child has ever survived to a year of age — yet he has reached thirteen. Frail in body but strong in mind, he has been a burden his clan has paid dearly to keep alive, at the edge of civilization where money is scarce. He might have lived in this crippled state for many more years. But when unexpected guests arrive at the estate, everything changes: he will either die at last — or learn to survive on his own.

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.

Afterlife 2.0

QuickDuckling

C59/100
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.

That Which Devours

jerpatch

C59/100
Alex thought a colony ship crashing into a dinosaur-infested jungle was bad enough. Everyone else received a class from the mysterious System ruling this brutal universe — but Alex's Class Selection never arrives. To top it off, a meteor shower forces down the supply shuttle, leaving her and her brother stranded with food running out. Just when all hope seems lost, it finally happens: Class Selection. And with it, a Legendary Class: Devourer. But what the heck is a Devourer, and why does this power feel so ravenous — making her brother smell less like family and more like a tasty meal? Alex embarks on a perilous trek through the wilderness to reach the compound for supplies. As the dinosaurs close in with her brother's life hanging in the balance, she must master abilities she barely understands or succumb to a world that feeds on the weak.

When Eric Swallow received his first quest from the System, he certainly did not expect to end up in the netherworld — or to become a witch called Sylvia. Now stuck as a girl, she must adapt as a student of the Starlight Nether Witch Academy. But she will not remain there for long. 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.

Aaron Jay

C58/100

A desperate bid to earn a fair chance lands Miles at the mercy of his family's enemies — his freedom and life riding on winning a bet. His enemies have broken his character and stripped his luck stat. How do you play a game without any luck?
