Monarch

Extra27

C58/100
Rayne was a bastard — the only son of the fallen Duke Frayser, cast aside to die in an army that hated him for being alive. Then a soul from Earth took over his body. With the common class of a Soldier, a Lineage Quest to complete, and a unique trait for stealing skills, he must grow strong enough to survive a gritty world. Fighting goblins, trolls, and necromancers, he works to earn reputation and prestige in a kingdom that branded his bloodline as traitors — with kingdom building waiting in later volumes.

TJ Reynolds

Once a soldier, now an outcast. Luca must overcome fate as he walks the path of a cultivator, seeking the Seventh Bridge to the Heavens.

A monk from distant Shuya who wields all the elements at once forces Luca to question everything he knows about cultivation. Now exiled, he must gather allies, battle Mana Beasts, and ascend as quickly as possible — for enemies are already stirring in the distant reaches of Andaya.

Respec On Death

Godric

C58/100
Fifteen years after Earth was forced into the Sarlenac Games, over half of the population is gone, culled by the System without mercy. Each year, thousands of Gates open to hostile worlds — fail to clear them in time, and ten percent of Earth's population dies. Specialist Jimmy Novak is a low-level combat medic with nothing to his name but scars, sarcasm, and a refusal to quit. When a routine Gate spirals into catastrophe, Jimmy makes a choice the System never accounted for, and something older than the System takes notice. [Skill Activated: Respec on Death.] With each death, Jimmy changes — new class, new build, new tools for survival. But the cost is steep, and the enemy is no longer just monsters. The System is watching. The gods are stirring. And Jimmy Novak is becoming something far more dangerous.

Hoqalo: The Broken System

MarekSusicky

C58/100

When Dash nearly dies, a broken System manifests: barely functional, stripped to the bones, but carrying the tinkerer's trait Hoqalo — letting him forge gear that punches far above its tier. The more he digs into why his System came out wrong, the more it looks like sabotage. Someone with corporate reach wanted the Kallum bloodline to stay down. With his hands, his tools, and friends willing to go to corpo hell and back, Dash sets out to steal his future back — with interest.

RabZ YT

C57/100
Some live by the sword — Alex is imprisoned by it. Not that he's complaining; he likes swords. In a world of swords and sorcery, some are born with divine blessings that lead them to challenge the heavens, while others are punished by fate and forced into suffering. For Alex, it's all irrelevant. As long as he has his sword, every tragedy is a joy and every obstacle is just more time to polish his blade. There's nothing that can't be solved with a good sword cut — unless the enemy is a ghost, in which case he'll need a church. A battle-focused progression story with a sword-obsessed protagonist whose genius is strictly limited to swordsmanship.
