The Lamp That No Longer Shines: A LitRPG Action Comedy

Broken_Bulb

F9/100
I was a game designer. Now I'm a Witch. Witches don't cast spells by candlelight and pray to the moon — they audit gods and harvest planets for fuel. They settle academic disputes at gunpoint, and the loser writes her rebuttal from the afterlife. Their idea of mercy is turning your civilization into a battery instead of fertilizer. The problem is, I'm the only one who arrived at this civilization with a corporate mindset. Everyone else is an immortal, overpowered genius who treats reality like a personal sandbox. Nobody here has needed documentation — or anyone like me — in two thousand years. I am trying, very politely, to bring version control to a species that considers chaos a design philosophy. But here's the thing about these arrogant, violent, impossible women: if I ever fall, they will burn a galaxy to bring me home. And for the first time in two lifetimes, that means something.

Rule of Cool

Matthew Siege

F7/100
Raze is a lowly Gearblin chained to the quest-giver desk at the only arcade in town — a Non-Participating Citizen who can't see her stats or make opposed rolls against Heroes. The old-timers swear it didn't used to be like this, that their troubles only began once RNGesus went AFK a thousand years ago, leaving questionably-blessed Heroes to conquer everything without consequence. Raze is not about to let a millennium of injustice cramp her style. When a frustratingly optimistic dreamer talks her into using the Konami Code as a map to scale a suitably forbidden fortress, everything changes at the top. What follows is Raze and her mismatched crew doing their damnedest to burn the old ways down, squaring off against thousands of noob Heroes in epic, mechanized carnage.

Sovereign Of Realms

Ciel Nova

F6/100
When Ciel Nova steps forward for his Awakening, he expects a standard class — swordsman, mage, anything ordinary. What he receives is impossible: Realm Holder, a class no one has ever heard of, with no guides, no manuals, and no path to follow. Within him lies a realm of his own creation — a place where time flows differently, where days pass in moments, and where life can be nurtured beyond the world's reach. At its heart grows the World Tree, fueling both his realm and his own power. While others train in dungeons, Ciel builds worlds. His strength comes not from battle alone, but from patience, growth, and mastery over something far greater than swords or spells.

Extra's Mantle: Wait, What Do You Mean I Shouldn't Exist?!

NekoSama#9999

F6/100
In the beloved novel "Mantle of Gods," four chosen heroes are destined to save the world — and fail spectacularly, leaving reality to burn in eternal darkness. As a reader of that story, transmigrating into it as Jin Winters, a nameless extra not even mentioned in the text, was already bad enough. Landing in Vienna — one of four cities slated for annihilation in the opening act — made it worse. Armed with meta-knowledge and a cancer survivor's stubborn refusal to die quietly, Jin awakens the mysterious "Mantle of Harvest," a power system the protagonists never fully understood. But knowledge only matters if you live long enough to use it. Ninety-one days until the veil falls. Ninety-one days to grow strong enough to change a fate written in blood.

Skyward Ascension

Sourkrauts

F6/100
Caleb loved climbing because the rules were simple: don't fall, go up. Until the System arrived — and the mountain broke. When a fissure opens beneath him mid-climb, Caleb plummets into a newly formed dungeon on the back of a falling boulder. He should have died on impact. Instead, his fall is broken by the face of one of the dungeon's bosses, and the resulting surge of aether thrusts him into a brutal new reality. Armed with nothing but his body and a unique class built around his greatest strength — his hands — Caleb gains the ability to manifest spectral arms made of spiritual energy. To survive the hell he fell into and climb his way back to civilization, he'll have to master every inch of his power. In a world where strength decides everything, the only way forward is up.

Immortal Druid

Alfir2

F6/100
A gamer wakes up in a fantasy world inhabiting the body of his max-level Druid from an online game — only to find this new world is nothing like the genre he expected. Flying swords, qi beams, and arrogant young masters litter the landscape, a far cry from the cozy woodland retreat he had planned. He figured he could ignore all of it: vibe in the woods, pursue the Dao of Camping, mind his own business. But this isekai world is neither cozy nor forgiving, and sometimes the greatest enemy turns out to be oneself.

I Became My Vampire Witch Character

KurayamiWN

F5/100
Ella was a delusional woman — or so everyone thought. She spent her days grinding in her favorite MMO, chugging energy drinks, and building the strongest character possible on the off chance she ever got isekai'd. Well, maybe she wasn't so delusional after all. One fateful day, she drank one energy drink too many and died of a heart attack — only to wake up as her witchpire character in the game world she had spent years preparing for.

Kingdom Lost

DeepBlue

F5/100
Riley wakes up in a world that already expects something from her. She has nothing — no gear, no knowledge, no protection. Just a hostile forest, something hunting in the dark, and a system that has already marked her as a novice and expects progress. It doesn't explain the rules. It doesn't offer help. It only measures what she builds and what she survives. Every resource must be scavenged, every improvement must be earned, every mistake leaves consequences that don't go away. And whatever stalks the woods at night knows she's here. There are no chosen ones, no free power, no second chances — only progress, starting from zero.

Fate of Mirithia

Ajnabi

F5/100
She crossed worlds to bring him home. Now she might be the one who never returns. When Meera's younger brother vanished without a trace, her search led her to an ancient mirror and a world not her own. Thrust into a realm of monsters, magic, and a rising apocalypse, she uncovers a harrowing truth: her brother is the Champion of a great prophecy, destined to either save or destroy Mirithia in a final clash against an apocalyptic dragon. In a world where strength is defined by earned skills, Meera had none — only the ability to steal the power of others. She cuts a bloody path through prophecies and tyrants alike, growing stronger with each stolen skill, drawing closer to her brother with every step. As the end draws near and the lines between heroes and villains blur, she must decide how far she is willing to go — and whether saving him means damning herself.

Jessica has been reborn in a new world, but she's trapped in a form without limbs, voice, or a way to move — a single, dying flame. When a system message offers a terrifying and bizarre chance at survival, she must possess, adapt, and burn her way through a dark and unknown world to find a place where she can finally shine.

For every enemy soul he absorbs, he can channel a part of their life as his own — claws, wings, or stranger things. With new powers in hand, Ray sets out to conquer the Tower.

Rue's body has always been valued for one thing only: his blood. Called a savior while being slowly drained dry, he dreams of running — of dooming billions if it meant finding freedom.

It should be Rue's chance — but instead he is thrown into another prison, where a Succubus demands he take the Warlock class or die. Rue is done with prisons. When the System offers him compensation, he takes it and chooses his own path: ArchMage-Knight of Frost.

Ten years ago, the Integration destroyed Earth and an army of cultivators subjugated what remained. Blake was one of the unlucky souls caught on a merge border — his body blended with a demonic monster, ending any hope of cultivation and leaving him shunned by both old and new worlds. Tired of waiting for circumstances to change, he bets everything on stealing a magic ring from under the cultivators' noses. Inside it lives the soul of an ancient warrior — and a revelation: modern cultivation has become rigid and weak, leaning only on mana and forgetting the other vital energies that once made it legendary. Armed with lost knowledge and everything to prove, Blake sets out to shake the foundations of the universe.

Decades later, now a mage beyond comprehension, Levi breaks his dimensional prison all the way into Ellinaria, only to find his new home is long since saved — both from the Cataclysm, and apparently from himself. Now Levi has simple goals: find his imposter, clear his name stealthily, and resist the urge to solve every minor problem with overwhelming magical violence. It's the Levi Cult's plans for a new Calamity that might complicate things. Then again, who's better to deal with cultists than the man they worship?

William Draven spent ten years mastering Realm of the Fallen Gods Online as a max-level Paladin. Then the system breaks, and he wakes inside the game — sealed in his golden raid armour, starving, exhausted, and painfully alive. Back in the starter village, nothing works as it should. His interface is shattered, skills refuse to activate, and numbers lie. Pain is real. Death is permanent. The NPCs think for themselves, monsters adapt, and bosses learn. With the Goblin King threatening the kingdom, hostile nobles circling, and an assassin on his trail, William must rebuild his power from scratch — one hard-earned stat at a time — in a world that no longer treats him as a player.

A noir-inspired, dystopian space setting full of conspiracies, murder, cults, and mysteries.
